I'm kinda surprised that blade martial arts are still soft-locled to noble. Most martial arts came about when some (affluent) hippies secluded themselves in nature and either practiced some type of yoga, copied animal movements, got really high, or got freaky with some bros to help spar with. Even some basic movements from farming could be used in basic martial arts.
What I'm saying is there should be a more basic foundation for a root martial arts the majority of adventurer's have.

Yeah, if he's that good, he should have a fast reaction to that.

He's a white magician, after all.

This has a bit of an, "and everybody clapped," feeling to it.

If they're self-taught, I don't think they'd hold up much against people taught by people who actually know what they're doing. Unless magic learning is involved.

Always gotta be someone who doesn't approve of MC. As if that approval is needed anyway.

It's not a "bad ending". It's a tragedy. They were actually more popular in the older days. So his reaction makes sense, not having any clue about history. It's also the type of stories commoners like. Nobles, not so much.

Do you have a source for that? Most martial arts came about due to training for warfare and combat.

But yeah, it is kind of weird, but he did think it was because people learn skills from the blessings anyway, so it's not as much needed to have a teaching culture for it.

 

[Seinvolf]

Thank u always for ur good work...
^^...

It's still strange, though. Many people simply love martial arts and pretty much live for it. Even if it was less strictly needed due to the blessings, they would still try to get better because they would enjoy it. Some would also teach it to leave their skills and achievements behind after death. In any case, if the opponent also has an equal blessing, then wouldn't the one who can pile trained techniques on top of the blessing win?

"mr. gold" and "gold dragon"
hmm Coincidence? I think not. They share the same firstname, so they are most definitely related (since in jp works the firstname is the lastname aka familyname)

Yeah, that's why I think it's weird. It's a bit like how people don't cook or eat some common food in cooking mangas to make the MC seem revolutionary, despite how humans are known for eating everything edible and many inedible things, often making the latter into the former.

So?

 

[popinloopy]

Thank you for the chapter! Page 6 is a bit weird though with Rook also being called Luke. Would also be nice if the text on page 12 had a slight white outline to make it easier to read when not in a speech bubble.

 

[Kireato]

It's pretty crazy that out of nowhere a gold dragon shows up. It's a bit surprising that it was flying low enough to affect the people in the town and that they appeared used to it somewhat. I guess it was hunting people?

Their sources are all the wuxia comics they read about mystics developing legendary martial arts in caves and coming down a mountain to mess things up.

Loli dragon incoming!

This one punch KO to the gut he took this chapter is one of the reasons i say the advice he received early about not focusing so much in don't getting hit is bullshit.

You're both overestimating the value of martial arts and underestimating the value of self-teaching. The reason why martial artists are more dangerous in a fight, in real life, is largely due to the physical difference born from training, which is a heavy physical activity. A person that hones their reflexes, stamina and strength through any means to a degree greater than a given martial artist is going to pose a serious danger to them even without any martial arts of their own.

Some martial arts do offer a significant edge by teaching to make the strikes more instinctive (and thus faster and more precise), other teach atypical methods that excel in certain circumstances (for example, throws or holds that allow to use your strength more effectively). But in a fight to the death, basic physical abilities, mental state and weapons are significantly more important.

Also, some of the modern martial arts are actually a detriment in a brawl. They are sports, so they are meant to NOT hurt the opponent (too much). That would make you actually weaker against any opponent that wants to just take you down no matter the cost. Training them still increases your basic physical abilities though, but so does street brawling, so a guy that spent half his life fighting no-holds-barred will more often than not completely wreck a sports-learned martial artist.

In stories with adventurers, those are usually fights to the death (especially against monsters). At that point martial artists actually get significantly less important as your main priority is hitting the opponents vital points. Usually that would be joints, neck, eyes, ears. Speed, strength and accuracy are vastly more important than any style.

Do you have a source for that? Most martial arts came about due to training for warfare and combat.

Most (non-weapon or common weapon) martial arts actually were invented for basic self-defense. Over the course of history, many countries had castes that were not allowed or could not afford any weapons. Meanwhile, those were dangerous times. As such, the peasants had to learn how to use their bodies more effectively if they wanted to have an edge if attacked. That's why there's a number of weapon-based martial arts that are derived from stuff that a peasant may have, basically farming tools, knives, most importantly sticks and staffs that never were banned anywhere (until basebal bat bans).

For martial arts using weapons like bows and swords, those were indeed largely for warfare and combat, and they were kept among nobility for very simple reason. Nobility were the only ones that could even afford to have, use and LEARN those weapons. Oftentimes, they were the only ones that were allowed to even have them. Including out of fear that teaching plebeians how to fight would bite them in the back. If plebeians that rebeled knew how to fight well, they would pose significantly more danger to the nobles. This is the exact same logic why knowledge was closely kept, monopolized, by religions. That's why no one should be grateful to religions for 'propagating knowledge'. That's why people should blame religions for monopolizing knowledge and preventing it being spread widely, because that's what they did, just like nobles monopolized 'strength'.

You're both overestimating the value of martial arts and underestimating the value of self-teaching.

No.

I thought about responding with some real points, but you didn't say anything that contradicted what I said, so there's no point. You didn't even support your own statement about how I was over- and underestimating things, so a simple, "No," is sufficient to counter that.

 

[Bibliothecarius]

Thnks for the chapter!

 

[tekkenshu7]

Nice that he can employ the 'zombie tactic' up to some extent.
I guess he'll just really need to learn more ways to deal more damage on bigger/stronger enemies.

And oh, a dragon? Is that going to be transforming one? Like a loli-transforming dragon?

 

[Intrigbagarn]

Loli dragon incoming!

shit be cursed

Why heal yourself. Stay down and let pretty girl take care of you

Thanks for translating these chapters!

So Gol D. Roger, Golden Kamui the 12 Gold Saints and Gold from Pokemon are related too?
