over many deaths, learned orthinus skills, dodges

Othinus turned her one eye toward her target and held up the lance once more.
A gapless wall of explosions was sent toward Kamijou Touma. There were so many
explosions that they seemed to blend into each other.
He did not hold up his right hand.
Instead, he turned his body to the side as if weaving his way through a crowded train and
stepped slightly forward.
That was all.
The puny boy’s body slipped skillfully through the wall of thousands or tens of thousands
of explosions.
“What?”
The result and Othinus’s theory did not match, so she spoke aloud with a puzzled
expression.
“What happened!? You should not be able to keep up with me with your specs!!”
“No, I can’t. And these repeated battles haven’t increased my physical strength. Nor have
I unlocked a hidden power in Imagine Breaker or anything like that. I’m still me. I haven’t
become anything else.”
“Then…!!”
The twinkling of the stars in the sky was an ominous ill omen.
Each and every one of them transformed into a sharp spear of light and poured down like
rain.
However…
“Then how can you survive!?”
“Have you forgotten, Othinus? Or was it such a lame metaphor that you ignored it? It’s
fun to try all sorts of things against a normally unbeatable opponent to analyze their
attack pattern. It may leave no data behind, but it feels like you’re accomplishing
something!!”
“You can’t mean…”
“Even if I can’t level up like in an RPG and even if there’s no change to my physical
strength or supernatural ability, I’ve been analyzing you all this time. While you killed me
again and again, I gradually memorized your combat patterns!! I don’t even have to think
about it anymore. I can move on instinct!! I had plenty of chances to do this. After all, you
stuck with me until I stopped counting altogether!!”
This was similar to retro shooting games. The path to the next level was more dependent
on the real-life player improving his skills than on the in-game ship’s parameters
increasing.
On a difficulty setting that looked monstrous at first glance, it may seem impossible to
beat. But after playing enough times, one began to notice specific traits to the movements
and barrage of enemy bullets. After building up footholds bit by bit, the player could
defeat the boss with almost automated movements and advance to the next stage.
“You mean you used all those deaths?”
“Unfortunately, I truly could not defeat you. I wasn’t holding back. I gave it everything I
had and was still killed in the end. But I wasn’t being killed for no reason. I purposefully
chose how I was killed to test out all sorts of things. In death, I learned.It may be different
for pure gods, but this is how lowly human entertainment works.”
