"An esoteric substance or compound that reacts to gravity?" Julian frowned. "Such things do exist but… Why on Gaia could you poss-"
"They exist?!" Rui's grin was wide.
Julian frowned as he furrowed his eyebrows, taking a good look at his younger brother. Usually, he possessed quite a composed temperant. Even at an extrely young age, Rui demonstrated the serene patience that one would really only see in the elderly.
The only exceptions were when a matter was related to Martial Art, then for so reason, he beca as excited as a child.
Julian had no doubt that whatever this was, this had to be related to his Martial Art. Not even all the wealth in the world could shake Rui's composure as much as his passion for Martial Art did.
"Yes… They do, or at least that is what seems to be the case with many of them. As you know, we mostly test hypotheses with experints, and there are esoteric substances where the only reasonable prevailing hypothesis is that they are especially reactive and susceptible to gravity," Julian explained.
"Brilliant!" Rui grew absorbed in his own thoughts.
"…Why exactly are you seeking esoteric substances that are especially reactive to gravity?" Julian raised an eyebrow, he couldn't help but be curious.
This was not the first ti that Rui had consulted Julian before, yet he was usually a lot more composed, even if energetic.
The last ti that Julian had seen Rui exhibiting this kind of energy was when Rui had returned ho from a mission after receiving a ssage informing him that Julian had finished compiling his explanation and report on the research data that Rui had brought from the Commonwealth Duchy of Vinfrana and had translated himself.
"I'm trying to develop a technique that allows to sense my environnt through the forces of gravity that the environnt generates," Rui sighed.
When explaining it to Julian, he used a different model of gravity; the Newtonian model of gravity which stated that gravity was a force and not a war in space-ti like it was in Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.
The reason for that was that he was absolutely confident that the theoretical physics of this world had not reached a stage where such a theory existed, so even if he told Julian, he would probably get a bewildered look.
"I lack a fundantal way to sense gravity itself," Rui sighed. "If there are esoteric substances that are reactive to gravity, then it is possible for to integrate them into a technique and figure out a way to use them to sense my environnts."
"That's… ambitious," Julian cautiously murmured. "It is possible that what you are going for may very well be impossible, you know?"
"That's always a possibility for every endeavor I undertake," Rui replied calmly, unfazed. "Now, can you help out with these esoteric substances brother, please?"
"Of course, it will take a while because I don't know all of them off of the top of my head since it is a little outside of my field of expertise, but I can get your data on them within a week for sure. From there you'll be able to handle yourself, right?"
"Of course," Rui grinned. "Thanks a ton, brother, you're aweso. See you later."
"Good luck."
And just like that Rui disappeared from his seat, leaving Julian chuckling. Usually, Rui didn't use his super speed inside the house, since it was scary and startling to everybody.
"He must be extrely excited…" Julian smiled, amused and resigned.
He was right.
Rui was quite excited to get his hands on the data that Julian had promised to get him. However, until then, he did not intend to sit still. He had other projects to work on.
('Project Monster Repellant and Project Keep Up With Kane are not going to be easy,') Rui sighed.
He did not ask Julian about the forr because zoology had never been a focus of his. Rui would need to do his own research on the matter.
('What I need is a technique that uses my strengths to grant an effective solution against monsters of their caliber,') Rui noted.
His strengths lay in the parts of battles and techniques that employed ntal faculties. Thus techniques that provided great results while having high demands of, or burdens on his ntal faculties were what he was looking to create.
('The first issue is that there is a great variety in the fauna of the Shionel Dungeon, thus I cannot create a technique that is highly customized to focus on particular species, I need to exploit traits that these monsters all share. There are many species in the Shionel Dungeon, and trying to create a technique for only one of them is pointless, and creating separate techniques for all of them is highly impractical.') Rui sighed. He needed to create sothing that was effective against all of the monsters. Even if it was less effective against each species than a technique that was created only to deal with one species, it was more useful to Rui.
This ans that he had to focus on a technique that used a chanism that applied to almost all monsters.
This narrowed it down considerably.
('Massively superhuman physical prowess, affected by esoteric substances in their bodies, and low intelligence…') Rui imdiately ca up with three traits that matched all of them.
If he could sohow use all of them against the monsters with a technique that requires a lot of brainpower to produce great results that he would not be able to reproduce always, then that would be extrely convenient.
eαglesnᴏνel ('I don't think I can really use their superhuman physical capabilities against them, those are plainly huge disadvantages for … But the other two…') Rui smiled as a few ideas ca to mind.
The matter surrounding low intelligence was easier to exploit. Low intelligence ant it was easier to trap and fool, Rui absolutely intended to use it to whatever degree he could.
