"Now then, time for a demonstration." The Master declared before executing another imagination-embodiment non-verbal communication against Ieyasu.

CLAP

Ieyasu broke out of his trance startled.

"Can you move your right arm, Tokugawa?" Master Zeamer asked.

"Not at all," Ieyasu frowned.

"And there you go," Master Zeamer gestured. "I'm sure I don't need to explain to you at this point."

Rui nodded. "I've understood everything that I need to."

"Good," Master Zeamer clapped, undoing the technique and allowing Ieyasu to move his arm once more. "That brings us to an end. I suppose it's your turn now for Ieyasu's sake."

Ieyasu paused for a moment, before heaving a tired sigh and shaking his head. "Go away. I have more important priorities."

Rui raised an eyebrow as an amicable smile rose on his face. "Appreciate the help, by the way. Good luck with your training."

The two of them parted ways as Rui left to get more food for thought. He didn't need much more of an input from the Hypnomaster after everything that he had seen. But unfortunately, he had yet to have a brilliant spark of an idea that would help him with creating a new technique.

'The goal is to create a technique that is powerful and attuned to my Martial Path.' Rui heaved a sigh, reminding himself. Perhaps it was because there was so much potential, but he actually had a lot of trouble coming up with a good technique. It was easier for him to identify the best choice when there was little potential to be unearthed.

However, he did have some ideas.

'I can perfect the Godspeed technique.' Rui noted. 'If I can learn to hypnotize myself and slow down my own sense of time.'

Previously, he didn't have any ideas of how to perfect the imperfect technique. But now, he had a way to fix it. He just needed to self-hypnotize himself to slow down his perception of time.

'Induced tachypsychia.' Rui mused. 'Intriguing.'

That was definitely worth putting on the table, as it meant that he didn't have any weakness in that technique any more. He wouldn't need to wait to develop a VOID algorithm until he used the technique.

'Speaking of which, that's something I should focus on in general.' Rui mused. If there was one weakness that the VOID algorithm had, it was the time that it took to create a predictive model. It was especially a heavy weakness because he used the Metabody System after the predictive model was developed.

Which meant that he could not use a good chunk of his power until after he developed the VOID algorithm.

'Then why don't I focus on shoring this weakness?' Rui wondered with a hint of interest.

Being compatible with adaptive evolution also included compensating for its weaknesses. That was why creating mental techniques to shore up his power before he fully adapted to someone was not a bad idea.

'That's definitely worth leaving as at least one of the ideas for a mental technique.'

That meant upgrading the Godspeed technique and creating something to engage the opponent before he completely adapted were two projects that he could undertake here.

Then that left space for one, at most two, projects for techniques that aided with actual adaptive evolution.

In such a case, at least one offensive mental technique would be fine as well. There were undoubtedly going to be opponents that he would run into that were too physically tough to hurt with physical attacks alone, in such a case, an offensive mental technique would be quite useful.

'Actually, different kinds of offensive mental techniques are suited to different kinds of opponents.' Rui noted.

An offensive Martial Artist was probably going to suffer most from sabotage of control over their power. A defensive Martial Artist would probably be best suited to have their pain significantly enhanced. A maneuvering Martial Artist would best be health with sabotage to their sense of space and time.

Unfortunately, he wasn't going to stay here for too long.

'I can set the specialized techniques as super-long-term techniques, probably best to stick with a simple offensive mental technique for now.' Rui figured before his eyebrow rose with an idea.

'Actually, what if I fuse the pre-predictive model technique project with the offensive technique project?' Rui wondered. 'I could kill two birds with one stone.'

Perhaps he could cover for his relatively lower power level before adapting with mental techniques that were perfectly suited for his opponent.

'It will take time to develop that diversity...' Rui tutted. 'Such a shame, honestly.'

He needed to come up with a better plan that ensured that they wouldn't be getting all that trampled over.

He heaved a sigh as he considered the pros and cons of the multiple ideas. Although he had conceived of some plans, it was still up in the air for the most part.

It was definitely a good idea to rely on mental techniques to bolster his strength before he fully adapted, it was also a good idea to have a technique that was best suited for Martial Artists with a greater affinity towards one of the fundamental fields of combat.

Since almost all Martial Artists were more attuned towards one of three; offense, defense, and maneuvering, he could pick and choose which technique to employ versus whom.

Rui actually found this idea more palatable. The reason for this was that it was applicable to both pre and post-predictive model parts of the fight equally, serving two roles at once.

"Alright, that's fine for now. Let's begin with that." Rui decided. "Four projects, one for upgrading the Godspeed technique, and the other three for having mental techniques suited to adapting to my opponent. By the time I'm done, nobody will be able to escape the power of my mind."

Phantomind Void was a good example of what could be accomplished when he put his mind to good use. However, he needed a technique that was capable of harnessing his mind, ordinary techniques would not be enough.
