Chapter 3 - A start

I live alone. There really isn't reason for this as it's common in the house of space and to be honest I have no problems with it. Because I live alone, I usually sleep at 5 am and wake up and around 10 – 11 am during weekdays and during weekends I sleep at 6 and wake up at 8am, yeah, my internal clock is broken at point, but I don't mind it, I actually quite like it.

Today is Sunday, I woke up at my usual time then did the basic essentials I was about to go out to have breakfast but when I touched I the door handle, all of sudden I felt pissed. I was to do something, but I forgot what. I decided to postpone my breakfast to figure out what was wrong with me.

So, I sat on why bed and pondered, 'I know school is today, and I am late but that's not the problem. It's Sunday so usually I go down and have breakfast at around this time. So, what could be the problem now?'

After 30 minutes I gave up and decided to not go for breakfast and instead drink some water. After drinking water, I looked at my watch, it was 8:45 am. "all students are need at Ignatius by 10 am. So, I have time, but I don't want to stay here any longer." I said to myself as I looked at my desk. It's disorganized but I like it like that, on it was a lot of things, some of which belonged to Emily.

'I have no luggage, so I'll just leave' with to those final thoughts I walked out of my room and closed the door behind me. Locking it would be downright stupid as everyone hear has the space element, so hear are one of the many perks it grants it's users. Sealed space.

Essentially every elemental user is able to perform a basic seal with their element, take mist for example, when they perform a seal they really just apply an illusion to what they are sealing, it differs for each element and there are variations with such techniques.

For space, the most basic seal is just locking that object's space in place and preventing it from moving, it can also be used on living beings with ease. After sealing my room, I decided to apply another type, distorted space, this just displaces any thing that tries to access this particular space.

Appling these seals would take time for the inexperienced, but I have that, so it was fast. I turned around and continued on my way to Ignatius.

The house of space is located nowhere on the planet, it's located in a separate spatial plane than the norm, to access it one has to be a spatial user or be granted permission, leaving is the same case. The house of space just basically looks castles surrounding castles, very extravagant to me, although the design does need applauding, all the walls are made out of grey and sliver marble, it doesn't reflect to much light and that's a plus in my book.

It doesn't medieval but quite modern, at the center of the entire place there is a skyscraper for a building, at the top of is a waterfall that freely flows through space with no base at all, it looks mesmerizing, the waterfall swirls around the skyscraper until it's base where it splits into 4 main paths that opposite each other they then further split into smaller streams, these provide water for all the residents.

The place is so huge it is deemed a continent, the residents of the house of space are all people who just love study and research the progress made by spatial users is greater than any other rare house, and he is where I come in, here's some background.

As l said before my name is Mono and it's not my actual name, those of the house of space are given only one name at birth they leave the second name up to you, we do this in relation to our element. Space is free and so are we. Anyway, we are to never be addressed by our real names to those whom we don't put our lives in, basically everyone. so, I chose the alias 'mono' as for my parents, I have both of them still alive, but they are currently raising the third born of my family, so they don't really have time for me and the first. For the record raising a child who can control, erase, and create space and essentially matter at will isn't easy so rising a newborn requires a lot of attention.

That is also the reason I address my siblings as 'first' and 'third' because I don't know their really names. Moving on, in my generation we have menaces like Julius Ozias, Zach Casper and Mia Amethyst currently showing the world power, they are the children to the house of earth, fire and ice respectively, oh and Emily too.

This 'blessed' children have the most potential than the rest of us, take Julius for example that guy has both an abnormal mana proficiency and output and he is my age (which is 15). It basically means that he is strong, the rest have their own quicks about them, but me? I have an abnormal mana proficiency and an unreadable output. Yeah I am strong but lazy to, all I do is just do research on other elements currently I'm researching the darkness element and my test subject/partner is Emily Raven.

I completed the rest except for blood, nature, time, and light. Well, I haven't studied anything due to me being underage, but I know more than what I am supposed too anyway. I am the official assistant to famous researcher Flake Raven, blood elemental user and father to Emily.

I do nothing but research, come up with theories and test them out, practice martial arts and weapon arts and test my own element 24/7. I am an anti-social hermit but a strong one at that, I am well versed in the art of pissing people off, lying and some manipulation here and there. I can do virtually a lot of things due to all the books I have read. I am a surgeon, curtsy of Mr. Flake, and a well versed one at that, I aided in the 'access project' project' in which regeneration by mana is possible and the theory that more can be accomplished with mana, but none know it was me because I go by assistant furu when I work with him so because of that no one, except Emily, knows who I really am .

I slowly stopped my internal monologue as I reached the end of the hallway, I slowly raised my hand and flicked at the empty space before me, in a matter of seconds the sound of glass shattering echoed throughout the hallway, the space before me shattered revealing the senary of beautiful grassy plains that lain bare and tall mountains in the distance, I took a step through the gate I created into the plains, I took a deep breath of air and said with a smile "I'm still pissed, hopefully I don't kill someone's child at school."
