... if the author COULD drag Leonora back to the fray, why not Greyworth?

Spoiler for LN:

Cause if she's not dead then she can't teach the ougi to him, it's like a solid rule , you gotta die before you teach your final secret all powerful technique to ur student

When I read the novel, the whole scene was like a certain one from Rurouni Kenshin.

[Sylphic]

Yea except in kenshin there was no one confirming it happened.

But my gosh, I'm finally done reading. Had so little motivation since 0 Restia.

[mike211]

I asume this "ougi" is a sword technique.

[Sylphic]

It's a secret sword technique.

[mike211]

Ohhh, since Kamito is learning for Greyworth, does this mean she is stronger even when Kamito was Ren Ashbell?

Spoiler for some vol 8 stuff:

Not sure. Sure, she is more technically refined than the old Ren Ashbell, but she is way past her prime. The prime of a girl's spirit is between 10-20 (think ice skating). Greyworth is already around 35 or 40.

Also, in volume 8 when Kamito went with Leonora to the museum of past champions, Ren Ashbell's statue and room was more extravagant/noticeable than the other champions (including young Greyworth's) because of Kamito's unusual dominance in the previous tournament.

Also, there were two main reasons for Greyworth's lessons. According to her and Kamito's estimations, the current Kamito is still far inferior to his old self, and this technique can only be taught when the body has matured enough.

[mike211]

Ohhhh.... so if Kamito learned the technique and regain his skills, that would make him the strongest.

[Sylphic]

Well. He learned the technique just fine.

But in the next book Kamito is going to need a serious power boost (Restia GETTO! Maybe?) or else he's going to get smashed in book 10 when he fights team inferno.

Not quite. It's more like the current Kamito isn't as powerful as his old self AND he would get smashed in the next round if he doesn't power up, so Greyworth teaches Kamito the final technique in her book to compensate for the some of the difference (but it doesn't make up for all the difference). The only reason she didn't teach it before was because Kamito's body back then wasn't physically mature enough to handle the technique.

If I interpreted it correctly, the final move is a bit like Taichi or any other martial art where a fighter takes the energy from another and directs it back at the user. Kamito activated one of the sword techniques and Greyworth blocked every one. Kamito was like, "What the hell, how is she doing this? She's way past her prime." But then Kamito understood everything because he noticed Greyworth was following his motion and absorbing every strike for one giant counter strike.

I see, do the girls learned new moves as well?

Nope, it's a private lesson as it always has been. You have to have a lot of talent in the sword arts to learn her craft (something only Kamito has). Lots of talent as in "seeing the attack once and instantly understanding the key essence of the move." According to Greyworth, if you don't understand it the first time, you'll never understand it.

Greyworth's lessons can only taught by "experiencing" the attack. What I mean by experiencing is that Greyworth HAS to use the attack against you without holding anything back. In most cases, if your talent isn't enough, you'd already be dead. If it was anyone else on Team Scarlett, they would all be dead. That's why Kamito has a nightmarish experience with Greyworth in the past. Kamito experienced countless near-death situations from learning her craft. A very common situation would be Kamito and Greyworth sparring (without holding back), and Greyworth would activate her new technique. Kamito sees it, understands it, gets injured, and then blacks out. When Kamito wakes up, he asks for pointers and additional clarification on the technique.

So tell me, does the girls become useful in the future? cause they didn't really leave a impression on me since I can't remember any outstanding fight they were in.

Hm..., well Claire showed LOTS of potential (elite potential) in volume 7. Claire hasn't unlocked those powers yet and the team certainly can't hope on her to activate those powers when they need it most, but her fire seems to have the same potential as her elder sister.

The archer and knight are still the same (i.e. average at best). The 2nd princess seriously beefed up in volume 7 after suffering through an inferiority complex because of her fighting strength.

You're correct. Most of the time, the other girls are useless. Claire's fire tickles, the princess' fields gets destroyed, the archer/knight's arrows and sword bounce off. Ok, that may be exaggerating, but in the grand scheme, they're relatively useless.

[blade82]

its normale when you have in your team the youngest strong blade dancer and they dont know yet that Kamito is Ren
