The Martial Unity

The idea set off an explosion inside his mind, blowing away the image that he was refining in his head.

"What's the matter?" Master Reina asked. "Why have you stopped cultivating the image for the misdirection?"

Rui ignored her question as his eyes swum around, completely lost in his thoughts. 'Videos are probably easier to get immersed into since they are identical to the manner in which our minds interpret vision. As a series of chronological images.' Rui realized. 'That means that if I use a video or GIF instead of an image, won't the misdirection be much more effective on my targets and opponents because it's much more effective on me?'

His mind worked furiously as he extrapolated the outcome of a video in place of an image for a misdirection technique, modeling the response of the human conscious and subconscious mind.

"It works!" Rui exclaimed, excited.

"What are you doing?" She frowned.

He had been wondering how he could leverage his evolved mind to create a more powerful misdirection technique beyond simple applications when he logically arrived at this simple answer.

Perhaps creating a three-dimensional simulation video of a hostile Martial Master was impossible for Martial Seniors, but it was within the Realm of possibility for Rui. If he could achieve this, just how absurdly powerful of a misdirection technique would he be able to create?
