Chapter 551 [551] Taking A break.

"Why is it so bright..."

I questioned, massaging my eyes. Snorting, I opened them once again and adjusted to the light. It still stung for some reason. I stood up and examined the room.

It was my room, back in Shield, The dorm room I had due to my position as a top 10 student... Wait.

It\'s the second year... Am I still in the top 10? I haven\'t done anything to keep my position...

Never mind that, I took a deep breath, my throat was parched.

\'I need to drink something.\'

The thirst had taken over my mind...

I got up, walking to the fridge to get something to drink. Along the way, My eyes felt particularly sensitive, as if a new...world had opened. I could see scant particles of mana floating around and about in my room, of different colors.

Finally getting a bottle of water to drink, I emptied the entire thing, murmuring.

"A little of salt...and what\'s the sweet thing?"

I could taste minute quantities of salt in it...and something sweet? I don\'t know what that is...probably sugar.

Sitting down on a chair, I massaged my hair as I muttered to myself.

"So they took me back here, huh..."

Previously, my sensitive eyes and parched throat had occupied my mind, but now that I had drunk something, I could finally think...especially about what had happened.

Unlike my expectations, I remembered everything that happened back in Giganta to the most minute detail. What I had done to the city, to the giants, to the mountain...and most importantly...

"To master..."

Guilt filled me, as well as an unknown fear. I was not conscious during the state in which I was using Aura and Mana together, but when I woke up, everything came to my mind like a tidal wave, vivid memories of what had occurred.

The attacks I had used...and also how I had utilized both energies, but at the same time, that knowledge was muddled.

I could see that I used both aura and mana together, but...how? I tried to recollect, but the information was removed from my brain. Furthermore, I remembered everything else perfectly, but that was the only thing I couldn\'t remember.

"Ah, whatever."

After pondering for a while, I finally decided to leave the issue and took to taking care of myself. Getting into the lotus position, I used my mana...as well as my aura to search within my body.

I used mana first, and the state of the mana inside my body was the same... No.

It was somewhat enhanced, and seemed to take its own place instead of roaming freely around my body, It was centered around my heart, And although most of it was there, there was still some everywhere else in my body, although in little amounts...

However, there was a region where it wasn\'t there. In my dantian region. There was not a speck of mana there...and since I was using mana to see inside my body, I could see nothing there.

Dispelling my body search with mana, I tried to use aura. It seemed familiar to mana, and the usage was almost the same, However...it was slower than my mana. For now, at least. With it, the rest of my body became dark and like an empty vessel, but my dantian was a shining light. Almost blinding.

I knew that the \'dark\' areas of my body were filled with mana, But I could not see them because I was utilizing aura at the moment. I searched deeper into my dantian.

The aura here, while a similar color to my blue mana, had a tinge of purple mixed in it, seeming almost astral.

It stayed still mostly, and I could sense the waves of power rolling out from it. I definitely need to ask Master and the others more about it...

Deep within, at the center of dantian was a small seed, It was blue, and had a wooden exterior that had spirals all around it.

I couldn\'t approach it further, So I simply left it alone for now. Thinking:

\'I\'ll probably figure out what that is soon...\'

I thought to myself, and left it at that. Taking a deep breath, I tried to move the mana around my body and was relieved to see it flowed normally, then I tried aura.

"Ugh..."

Yeah, I expected a problem like this. Just when I had tried to move my aura out of my dantian, I found it clashing against the mana in my body, like two armies at war.

I expected this, So I made the mana move away and let the aura go unhindered to my right hand.

I raised my hand, which was now encased with a blue fire, that seemed ethereal.

"It\'s got my space element alright."

I mused, as I waved my hand. The fire behaved like ordinary fire, just it seemed like an illusion. I then tried moving my hand with force, and could see a small rift open up. It consumed some of my aura.

The rift cracked the air, and although I didn\'t know what I could do with it right now, I would figure it out. Perhaps it can be used to divert attacks with the suction force around it.

Speaking of suction force, I was reminded of the final attack I had used against master.

I know how I did it...but at the same time I was afraid of using it here, I might destroy the entire building with it...

Supposedly, I created a gravity field large enough and used the power of gravity to create a strong suction force, then concentrated on my fist, it made a small black hole, although that was probably fake.

If it was an actual one, I was dead, Not only me...but the entire planet was going with me. It was nothing compared to a real one, but it was still formidable.

Although, it required both mana and aura, so I doubt I can use it to it\'s full right now, But I definitely can recreate it with one of the two energies.

There were also the other attacks, The eye in the sky I was clueless about, as well as the vortex.

I could see that I made them, and \'how\' I made them, But I couldn\'t understand how I did it. Am I perhaps too stupid to get it?

Leaving it for the moment, I stood up and walked over to my bed, where my communicator was. I need to talk to some people, However...before I found my communicator, I found a folded piece of paper beside my drawer.

I unfolded the piece of paper and read the words written within.
