Starting With The Sefirah Castle In The Anime World-Chapter 147 - : Restraint Is More Important Than Power

The battles between extraordinary individuals were always fascinating to watch.

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

Unfortunately, Ren followed the Sequence Path, and his chosen sequence wasn't one focused on direct combat. At lower sequences, his ability to fight head-on was actually quite weak.

However, even if Ren couldn't participate, the others still could.

For example, Sanzenin and Maria, who followed the Vision path.

Or Kaguya and Hayasaka, who had obtained Devil Fruits.

And then there was Ran.

"A group training session is planned for this weekend?"

Upon hearing the news, Chika jumped up from her seat in shock.

"So, does that mean we get to see a battle between superpowered people this weekend?!"

"It's not a 'superpower battle.' This weekend's focus is on training—it's not necessarily a full-scale fight."

Kaguya tried to correct Chika's misunderstanding.

But Chika simply turned to Ren with excitement.

"Amamiya, in a normal fight, who do you think has the highest chance of winning?"

Her question immediately sparked interest among everyone in the club.

After all, who was the strongest?

This was a question that intrigued everyone.

And the only one who could answer it was Ren.

Only he knew the full extent of everyone's abilities, making him the best judge of their power levels.

After thinking for a moment, Ren answered,

"If it's a direct fight, then Ran would likely emerge as the final winner."

"Ran?"

Chika hadn't expected this answer.

Ren nodded but didn't elaborate. Instead, he looked at Nagi and Kaguya.

Nagi remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"Magic nullification is too much of a cheat ability."

"I've been a shut-in for years. I'm terrible at physical activities, and my only real asset is my elemental power."

"But if my elemental power gets nullified, I'm completely helpless."

Nagi was well aware of her own weaknesses.

Even though she had obtained a Vision, this major flaw remained.

After all, obtaining a Vision didn't magically transform years of a sedentary lifestyle into peak physical ability in just two weeks.

If her elemental powers became ineffective, she would have no means to fight back.

"The only thing I can do is maintain a certain height, if I stay in the air where Ran can't reach me, she can't win... but I also can't win."

"So it's a draw?" Chika tilted her head.

Nagi rolled her eyes.

"No, in the end, it would turn into a battle of stamina."

"Do you really think my endurance can match Ran's? Against someone with enhanced physical abilities?"

Chika suddenly realized the problem.

If the battle dragged on, Ran would always have the advantage.

Understanding this, she turned to Kaguya.

"Then, why would you lose?"

"For the same reason as Sanzenin."

Kaguya shook her head and gave a straightforward response.

"My ability allows me to create ice, and I can also transform into an element, making me immune to physical attacks. But I'm not immune to magic nullification."

"If Ran's nullification ability works on me, then my only option is to take a direct hit from her punch."

"And if I get hit by her fist... I'll probably die instantly."

"After all, with her enhanced physical ability, the last thing I'd ever want is to be on the receiving end of one of her punches."

Without her ability to become an element, Kaguya had no way to break through Ran's nullification.

At that point, the fight would come down to physical strength.

And just like Nagi, Kaguya had no chance in that kind of contest.

The reasoning was simple.

Ran's power was gained through her body's natural enhancement via eating.

Her karate training had already given her extraordinary physical prowess, but now, with the added factor of supernatural growth, even the strongest athletes wouldn't be able to match her.

In a purely physical contest, the outcome was clear.

---

"Hmm~ as expected, abilities that can nullify superpowers are the most troublesome."

After hearing both Nagi's and Kaguya's perspectives, Chika came to the same conclusion.

Then she turned back to Amamiya Ren.

"Amamiya, how did you manage to break through Ran's magic nullification last time?"

"...Well, I basically just overpowered the limit of her nullification ability."

Ren thought for a moment before explaining,

"Magic nullification has an upper limit."

"Also, it only nullifies supernatural abilities, it doesn't stop physical attacks."

"For example, guns and bombs would still work."

"Those are the limitations of nullification."

That clarification was important.

However, the conversation didn't end there.

"That said, as Ran continues to get stronger, faster reflexes, higher speed, greater explosiveness, she might eventually reach a point where she can dodge bullets and explosives entirely."

"At that point, aside from high-yield weapons capable of destroying an entire city, regular firearms probably won't have much effect on her."

"In that regard, Ran is no different from other ability users."

Ren wasn't biased.

Different abilities had different application scenarios.

Magic nullification was problematic for ability users, just as ability users were problematic for normal humans with standard weapons.

---

"Besides, this training session isn't just about fighting."

"You all have powerful abilities now, but you need a proper platform to use them."

"Until now, you've had to constantly restrain yourselves."

"An uncontrolled power outburst would draw too much attention."

Kaguya and Nagi nodded in agreement.

Releasing their abilities in public would be far too conspicuous. If the government took notice, things could get troublesome.

"That's why Hayasaka's Door-Door Fruit is so valuable, it gives us a private dimension where you can unleash your power freely."

"Holding back all the time stunts your progress."

"Just look at Ran, her body has been continuously strengthening, but because she lacks control, it's become a serious issue."

"That's why you need to learn how to master your abilities properly."

Ren paused for a moment before adding,

"Of course, the best places for this kind of training would be remote islands or uninhabited mountainous areas."

"That way, if anything goes wrong in the other dimension, it won't risk exposing any of you."

(To be continued.)
