chapter 13

Although the space element is practically invincible, we need a very strong mind. The actions all space users perform is tasking, like any element but I would say that we have it kind of worse. Almost all elementalists have resistances to their own element and passives that that enable their element to not be detrimental to themselves, for example a fire user is naturally resistant to heat due to one of their passives but that resistance is as high as their hottest flame, if my hottest flame was 12 degrees then I'm able to handle such a temperature generated from any source, the higher their hottest flame the higher their resistance to fire, the same concept applies to ice, lightning and nature as well as darkness, light, water, air, and blood, though these five are special, same context different application.

For the mentioned five do follow the exact same context but the benefits only target specific subcategories of their elements, like for darkness, although they are already resistant to negative mental effects, they become more resistant to them, also the resistance comes from the user experiencing these negative mental effects themselves so it's a double-edged sword trying to improve for darkness users. As for water, they can hold their breaths longer and the passive location improves, it's basically flexibility. The same go for the rest of the elements.

It's complicated to explain but all elements go through both methods of training but for an element like fire advancements are fast. But for elements like space, time, and sound, it's complex. I don't know what it is for the other two but for us space users our mental fortitude. We don't get a 'resistance to space' cause that's dumb, instead we gain an understanding of our position in it, I really can't explain this part, but it just feels like we're knowing more about your existence and your role.

Bending space and controlling it as well as tearing it is extremely mentally tasking for us, that's why there is a misconception that we don't have enough mana to continuously teleport, the actual problem isn't mana, an adult has enough mana to do it 30 times in a row on repeat for 28 hours straight, the actual problem is the mental strain placed on us and sometimes physical, exhausting one's mana leads to sever headaches, general weakness and more, though some rare breeds though tank those and keep on fighting. Such symptoms like the headaches and weakness are the exact same when we do something above our limits, if you asked any space user what the hate the most, the answers sill be 90% head related and 10% random.

The finer and intricate our spells the more tasking it is for us to the point if we go past the headaches we'll start bleeding through our orifices, and all this is especially limiting for me with such an outrageous output, 'I could and will spam blackholes 24/7 if it wasn't for the damage done to me if I go past my limit.' The only reason I just teleported away was because I was afraid of a fight, although I can handle myself quite well, the mental strain from teleporting has set in, it's nothing but a slight migraine but that can turn into something worse if I fight someone with a refined aura as her.

'Even though the malice was faint, I could still notice it.' Another thing about passives, some of them are detrimental depending on one's situation, an example is my special awareness, it enables me to sense things better than other by 8 times and that's without enhancing it. So, it naturally drains me constantly, but I have I great mental fortitude as of right now due to training, but it still contributes to the mental exhaustion. But what would happen if I reached my limit? I have gone past my limit around 6 times, my limit right now would be scaled to one mid-sized black hole while I'm at my best, but then it was lower.

When I exceeded it, I was enabled to sleep or do anything, a headache so painful screaming couldn't help assaulted me, and worst of all it kept growing, I felt like I would go mad from pain then die, and honestly death is better than that pain, it was only until I was sealed in a room made with Nako that the pain stopped growing, I apparently slept for 2 and a half days. I experienced that 6 times and I'm not yet ready for the 7th, so I don't want to push it.

Looking at Emily again I smiled and asked "So, which cliques are you joining, I'm sure you have already received offers" stopping with her grumbling she grinned and responded, "you really shouldn't be one to talk. A lot of the specials are planning on asking you and they were asking about you, congrats, you became famous on your first day of school." I was already aware of all the stares we received the moment I teleported here, giving her a side glance, I said, "you know since they have seen us together you will be dragged in too, right?" slowly her smile faded as one grew on me, but I still continued "congrats, you're also famous, by affiliation, on you first day."

Looking at me like I was dead, Emily immediately created a dagger out of darkness and begun swinging at me. Running away from her and towards the main hall I began singing happy birthday to her which agitated her more since it wasn't her birthday and it's her most hated song, we obviously drew attention to ourselves, but we couldn't care less they already know the both of us anyways. Reaching the main hall, the second and third years were already taking their seats.

Looking at the seats, I can see a different color on ours than those of the second and third years, our seats had a blue ribbon on them while the second years had a cyan ribbon and the third years had a crimson ribbon, 'I'm guessing our uniforms will be blue in some way.' Thinking that I moved towards one of the seats at the entrance, picking a random seat I sat down with Emily following and seating next to me "How will you make friends if you keep following me like this?" I asked with an amused smile, she looked straight at me and said bluntly "one day I'll kill you, and on that day I shall feed your heart to fish." This isn't the first treat she has given me, "Why fish though? I don't think they eat meat." Ignoring me I shrugged and looked towards my right where if found Rina's annoying smile greeting me. Turing back to Emily I asked, "can you wake me up when this is done?" I wasn't planning on seating through this with Rina near me.
