He understood the basic principle behind the Heavenly Transfer Technique, but it was precisely because he understood it that he found the whole thing utterly absurd.
"The technique's method of transport is indeed expressed through speed, but it isn't merely speed," Kitahara Kaede stated his view.
"The birth of this technique was purely accidental. Perhaps plenty of ingenious ideas were involved, but its creation itself was an accident."
Kitahara Kaede's answer left A rather confused.
"An accident? Why do you say that?" A asked.
"Put it this way: the Heavenly Transfer Technique doesn't simply draw a straight line between two points and then move at high speed.
Rather, the high-speed movement directly shortens the distance between those two points." Kitahara Kaede's tone grew much more serious. The Heavenly Transfer Technique had indeed touched upon certain aspects of space.
It merely achieved that through extreme speed.
"Mabui, can you understand what he means?" A asked his secretary.
He did not understand it either, so he might as well let Mabui communicate with Kitahara Kaede.
"I think I understand. Lord Kitahara Kaede's words have resolved a question I've had for a long time." Mabui said seriously, "If the Heavenly Transfer Technique were merely teleportation, there would be no need for so much preparation at the starting point."

"Then, when the Heavenly Transfer Technique transports a person, can that person attack?" A asked.
Mabui had only just arrived, so she naturally did not know about the two weapon-like applications Kitahara Kaede had mentioned earlier.
A did not
