While Sira isn’t the best arquebusier out there, he knows a few tricks in identifying a target.
「This is the most important lesson of all — DO NOT try look to for people. You’ll overlook things that doesn’t resemble a normal person. Tunnel vision makes it hard to spot people.」
「Your brain is good at pattern recognition and figuring out where things are supposed to be, but we can improve it. You need to force yourself to look in a different way than usual. If you look left to right, you need to look right to left. It is unusual, but a different perspective can help spot things you might not previously.」
His background in infiltration allows him to advise the guards about techniques for stealth.
「I’ve noticed from the reports that these bandits are short. Really short. Slightly shorter than me, which means their hiding spots can be a lot more diverse.」
「This technique is the 'quail'. Basically, you curl up into a ball and slow down the breathing. From a distance, they will look like a rock.」
「Height changes are important in stealth. Your eyes don’t focus on the sky or ground unless something there demands your attention. This is also the reason why you need to look in a different way than usual.」
