My Space-Time System

Chapter 257: Dimension magic.

"From your looks, it seems like you have figured out the purpose of the exercise. Just remain and silent and continue the process, others still need to find this for themselves." Zirrack appeared in front of Blake and spoke without any other person noticing.

After 20 minutes of waiting, most of the class had noticed the reduction and absorption of the mana by the body. So Zirrack rewarded them with points before explaining to the few who weren't able to detect the change.

"Now that is out of the way, let me explain the aim of what you just did." Zirrack said as he paced around the training ground. "When mana continuously circulates back and forth over a long period of time, the body prevents the pathway from getting sore by absorbing part of the energy with each cycle."

"The aim of this exercise and future ones will be to turn this unconscious action of absorption into a conscious one. We will start small by enhancing one body part at a time and at the end of the course you should be able to enhance any and every part of your body instantly." Zirrack explained. "Class dismissed."

Immediately Zirrack warped out of the training ground, the silent training ground turned rowdy. Blake was busy imagining how a full-body enhancement would feel like when his team walked up to him.

"Is it only me that feels like Instructor Zirrack had been less violent lately?" Tessie asked causing the trio to look around.

"Yeah, I noticed it. Maybe he had a life-changing experience." Luciano lightly chuckled, but none of the 3 were smiling about it.

With the last class of the day done, the group split and Blake returned to his room and took a shower.

"It's boring repeating the same set of activities every day, but funny enough I am not too bothered about it." Blake paused as he compared his current life to when he was back on Earth.

When he was back on Earth, without videos games or browsing through the web he would easily get bored to death, but here on Infinite realm he had undergone a massive transition. If not for classes and having to go to the canteen for meals Blake would be stuck in his room training his skills and wouldn't be bothered to meet people or search for fun.

"Come to think of it. If gadgets and the internet were introduced to this world there is a high chance a lot of students will be distracted, I included, will no longer be serious with cultivating."

Blake couldn't help but chuckle when he imagined himself gaming for hours and procrastinating cultivating.

"Funny enough I am kind of excited about this kind of life." Blake said as he crossed his leg, before absorbing mana and circulating it at his right hand.

Unlike back on the training ground where he just noticed that his right hand had become energized, this time Blake heightened his senses to observe how the body was absorbing the energy.

After close to an hour Blake fell on his back as his face was covered in sweat. Right from the start, it was mentally tasking, but Blake had persevered, but he was still unable to trace even an ounce of mana getting absorbed by the body.

[At this rate he will unlock mana vision in no time.] The system thought to itself when it saw Blake's zeal to learn.

…

The next day, as the students all moved to the classroom for Professor Hoffenheim's class, Blake could notice a slight hop in some of their movements.

'Why are they so excited?' Blake couldn't help but ask himself.

They got to their seats and exactly at the assigned time for the class, a warp gate appeared and Professor Mack walked out.

"As I promised you all, we will be looking at an introduction to dimension magic." Professor Mack's words caused many to let out a loud 'Yes!'

'Oh, that is why they were so excited.' Unlike the other students, Blake wasn't too excited about the new topic because he already knew it.

'Hopefully, I learn something new.' Blake said to himself because there were a thousand and one things he would have loved to be doing.

"Dimensional magic could be considered as an attempt by humans to replace the space element. In the early days of Infinite realm when the space element was introduced to humanity, they saw and envied how life could be so convenient if.

Imagining having to spend days on a journey from one city to another, but that distance could be covered by a chronomancer in minutes."

"In the case of battle, a chronomancer was unmatchable due to their insane mobility and the overpowered spells granted by the pathway. This made many to start looking for the weaknesses of a chronomancer but that ended up as a failure because they had little knowledge on how the pathway worked.

Note, at that time elements were yet to be fully categorized under pathways.

That was when researchers decided to carry out intensive research on the pathway.

As centuries went by, they began understanding the space pathway more and more. It was after a thousand years that they discovered that the space element was able to manipulate space at special mana frequencies. This led to a widespread campaign to replicate their feats" Professor Mack explained as he paced around the class.

"As we all should know things like these never end up in a good way." Professor Mack said as he shook his head. "Before you think this was their first time in doing something like this, think again because centuries ago they had managed to replicate multiple spells in all pathways apart from those of space and darkness."

"The problem here was that the space element wasn't your regular element. For more than 2 centuries they were met with nothing but failure and this led to a lot of mad researchers to result in using forbidden magic.

Many died without even scratching the surface, while some were able to make some breakthroughs but didn't live to share their discoveries due to them being lone wolfs."

"There were a small group of researchers who managed to quickly and properly store bits, but they still ended up dying. The only researcher known to have survived the use of forbidden magic was Azkelwart. He shared his dicoveries with the world and this led to another widespread research."

After the news went viral, forbidden magic was no longer used for the research. Normal magic was used but a lot of them ended up dying. Unlike the space pathway that started from the harmless powers of a locator, the researchers jumped multiple levels and went straight to trying to open spatial tear.

For those that got to the stage where they successfully opened a spatial. Well, they walked right into the void and seized to exist.

"Now, you all have to note that there were not many researchers during this time, so with the numbers that were dying many stopped working on the project, leaving very few left." Professor Gibson pointed out.

'That would have been a wrong age to be a researcher.' Blake thought to himself.

It was just like in the early days of physics, no researcher wouldn't want to work in a newly discovered field of physics. In Infinite realm, it was just that newly discovered fields of magic were deadly, but it didn't stop people from researching about it.

"It was at this point that Azkelwart made another groundbreaking discovery. He was the first to come up with creating a spatial corridor, pinpointing a location in the real world while in the void, and finally creating a second spatial tear in the void." Professor Mack said with a proud smile.

"Now I shall stop here with the storytelling." At this time professor, Mack stopped in front of the class. "The last part of the story I just told contained the processor of warping and that is what we shall be looking into."

"Doesn't that mean it is dangerous for us to practice it?" A girl asked.

"That is one of the reasons why I was hesitant about teaching you guys dimension magic, but you don't have to worry I have come up with ways to make the lesson safe for everyone." Professor Mack said with an assuring smile.
