My Space-Time System

It was after getting his thoughts and emotions in check that Blake realized how long and far he had walked. He immediately increased his pace and in no time, he was already back home.

Once in, Blake ignored everyone and went straight up. Not caring about anyone except their master, Ebony and Ivory followed him up.

'It seems no one is ready to talk.' Camilla and Tessie couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh.

…

'Now I know I am alone in this, it means I should look for ways to become efficient to not sacrifice the time I spend with Tessie and Camilla.' Blake said as he walked into his room and went straight into a crossed-leg position.

"Since I know beasts that stay around or inside Thranium crystal mines have higher intellect and are more united even after the beast tide. I have to test my theory."

"The question is how?" Blake said.

For him to test out his theory, Blake had to find a normal energy crystal mine that was inhabited by beasts. The problem with the plan was that crystal mines were very few, talk less of undiscovered mines inhabited by beasts.

"Going about searching for mines is not even an option." Blake said as he let out a helpless sigh because he knew even the locator spell wouldn't help him.

Not only would the mines be out of the spell's range, but the possible number of undiscovered mines in the area could be in the hundreds even thousands, thus further reducing the effectiveness of the spell.

[Have you noticed something.] The system said derailing Blake's line of thoughts.

[Thranium crystals are meant to be the rarest type of crystals and mines, but all through your stay you have only seen 1 normal crystal mine.] The system said shocking Blake.

Calton city had quite a number of normal crystal mines, but from how the city was discovering new thranium mines almost every beast tide, Blake could swear the total would be greater than normal mines.

"That even raises more questions." Blake held his head a he felt a headache brewing.

"The only 2 things I can do is wait for the ash corps to discover a beast-inhabited crystal mine, then read up the report or try out the locator spell anytime I am outside the city."

"As for now, I should focus on advancing to the peak of the Hero realm." Blake as he began thinking back to Colonel Darius' explanation during the drug gang burst.

[They can't see us because, at my level, I can control all components of nature to a certain extent. So all I did was manipulate the light rays hitting us and the wind that carried the sounds we make.] The system replayed the memory.

'For him to be able to do that his control over the other elements had to be greater than that of Champions if not Heroes of the pathways!' Blake was awed by the insurmountable power of a peak Angel.

'So, one thing for sure is that at one point I will have to start learning the other elements.' Blake let out a helpless sigh as the thought of starting from square one in another pathway was tiring.

"What if that's what I am actually meant to be doing!" Blake said aloud as he abruptly opened his eyes.

"All this while I have been trying to sense nature all at once, but I think it is best to increase my understanding of one element first." Blake said.

Although his theory wasn't confirmed, Blake was going to give it a shot especially since he had wasted a lot of time studying mana.

It was then that Camilla walked upstairs to inform him that the food was ready, and without wasting even a second, Blake stood up and began heading downstairs for Lunch.

'That's a good sign.' Camilla thought as he took her hand.

Food was one of Blake's favorite things in the world; so as long as he didn't reject food, the problem with him, Castiel and Brian wasn't too serious.

Camilla and Tessie had prepared lemon garlic shrimp pasta and butter chicken with rice.

Knowing Blake, they had prepared a lot and even though the atmosphere was awkward Blake didn't care at all.

Brian and Castiel were the first to leave the table, leaving Camilla and Tessie who happily watched Blake eat.

When it was time to sleep, Brian and Castiel took the guest room while Blake and the girls remained in the master bedroom.

"It's already late, aren't you planning on sleeping?" The girls asked Blake who remained in his meditative pose with a fireball in his hand.

They had joined Blake to meditate but even after they were done, he had remained on the floor for more than 2 hours.

"I am." Blake said as he extinguished the flames and climbed onto the King size bed.

…

The next day, the awkward atmosphere was almost gone, but that was only because Brian and Castiel avoided asking Blake questions.

The girls noticed this but they chose to ignore it. They had already agreed to not ask questions until both parties were ready to explain what happened.

"How is your cultivation going, any clues of the next step to advancing to the peak of the Hero realm?" Camilla asked causing everyone including Brian and Castiel to turn to Blake.

Blake had always been ahead of everyone in terms of cultivation and had been the one everyone turned to for assistance when they got to a bottleneck.

Also, they had noticed how he had been meditating with either a fireball or electric arcs in his hands. So they felt if anyone was to have the key to advancement it should be him.

"Nope, I am still testing the theory that I previously shared with you guys." Blake said.

Sharing the key to advancing with others was not only useless in most cases but also dangerous. This was because everyone had different tests from the Mother-stream and also different ways of understanding concepts and definitions.

So an explanation might end up delaying them even further, especially since their strengths and weaknesses were not the same.
