[He's staring at Mizuki now, his expression no less baffled the more he tries to explain. A puzzle, a game of strategy... he could imagine a setup like this being used for combat simulations, but it lacks practical applications in its current state. The situation presented is too specific, too outlandish, what would be the point of improving your skills if they have no external use? Maybe if it's a simple exercise in reaction time and basic problem solving, simplified to be used as an entry point—

If he should be comparing it to anything, it would probably be more appropriate to think of the board games the El Search Party would occasionally pull out. Games for little kids that don't provide any meaningful skills or experience... something purely for "fun".
He's quiet, turning his gaze slowly back to the blinking screen. Is this what Nasod technology could have produced, if it had been allowed to flourish? Something so frivolous, so childish...
It's... a weird, complicated third thing. He's not sure yet how it makes him feel.]

It doesn't do anything else? Just these... games?
