"Ugh! That method of travelling really makes me *breathe in* want to vomit." a handsome young man sat on a nearby bench as his face was pale from all the spinning and flashes of light he saw and encountered during his travel using the Planewalker.
The ride was a bumpy one for him and also... quite uncomfortable when he was constantly spinning to the point that his eyes could very well turn into spirals!
"***, *** *** *******?" he heard a voice as he looks up to see a young lady the same age as he was.
"Sorry, care to repeat that?" he asked as the young lady gave him a confused look in her eyes before the young lady lit up like a light bulb as she pulled out her phone and opened up something he doesn't know.
"*** *** ***** ** * *** **** ***** ******** *** *** *****." the young lady asked and Snow knew that she noticed that they have a language barrier but he could make out what the young lady was saying taking their situation into account so he said a few words and the thing she pulled out seems to work as he heard the young lady talk and the phone translated it to his language.
"I was asking earlier, are you alright?" he saw the characters of his language shown on the screen as he gave this young lady a nod and attempted to reply.
"Thanks for asking but I'm fine, just slightly dizzy that's all." he gave the young lady a smile as the phone translated his words, he felt better after a few seconds and stood up to meet the young lady eye to eye.
While the young lady was fiddling with the phone as it translated what he said, he finally took a look around and saw rather huge buildings and a clean environment.
When he looked at himself, he wasn't shocked that he wore the cultivator robes he wore back in Ethereal Night Realm.
Taking into consideration that his clothes are merely made from his energy, he snapped his fingers and his clothes changed to match the clothing he had in mind.
He now wears a white collared shirt under a beige knitted vest, navy blue ankle pants, and white sneakers. Also simple accessories such as a thin gold framed monocle, a gold pocket watch, and a similarly gold crescent moon necklace.
"It must be the heat getting into you. I know a place nearby, would you like to join me?" with her cheeks flushed red and her purple eyes staring right to him, when he saw how she showed him the phone, he wasn't able to say no to such a pure and innocent soul.
[ Foreign Language | Capable of conversing with people using their native language and hear people speak in one's native language. ]
"Sure thing. By the way, I'm Snow Nightshade. No need to be so formal with me since I'm not part of royalty or something." he smiled even though he is part of one, that is back in Ethereal Night Realm though, one of the hunted as well.
That was the moment the young lady remembered that they didn't know each other's name so she was flustered for a second before breathing deeply and bowed as she introduced herself.
"Right, I completely forgot. Uhm, I'm Shibata Mizuki... enrolling as a first year to First Magic High. Seventeen years old and—" she stopped when Snow let out a chuckle.
"Snow-san?" she didn't know what she did incorrectly as she tilt her head to side while looking curiously at Snow who finally took a good look at this young lady who introduced herself as Sibata Mizuki.
"Well, you don't need to tell me that much unless you're going to a marriage interview. But, it's nice to know that we're of the same age." he let out a smile as Mizuki finally realized what she did wrong and corrected herself in her mind before being embarrassed since he said it was like a marriage interview!
"Anyways, let's go to the place you invited me to. After travelling here, I'm kind of parched." he started walking but was stopped when Mizuki called out to him.
"Snow-san, that's the wrong direction. Also, please call me Mizuki as Shibata seems too distant. In return, can I call you Nightshade-san?" she asked but Snow let out a small laugh again as she made another mistake.
Well, it was actually his fault.
"Mizuki-san, Snow is my given name." he explained and saw a light bulb glow above Mizuki, her face flushed and embarassed to. say anything and just went ahead and walked.
She became even more embarrassed that she mixed up the order of his name but got through it when Snow told her it was his fault that he didn't know how their name's work.
In her mind, she has a few questions such as 'Did his clothes change?', 'How is he able to speak Japanese when he couldn't earlier?', and 'Did he say travel? From where?' but they were placed in the back of her mind when they were making talks.
As they arrived at a confectionery store, they ordered a teapot of green tea and enjoyed the cool temperature of the store and the chairs which bring comfort to its customers.
While they relaxed, Snow observed his body which had minor changes during his travel in the void. What he observed is that there are now additional functions in his brain which makes him connected to an independent realm called Information Dimension, albeit this connection of his is quite limited.
'This is quite similar to the innate traits of Pure-blood Nightshades that lets us know everything within a ten meter radius.' Snow concluded as he partially activated his Eternal Night Domain and knew that his innate trait was better than the connection with the independent realm.
'But... this connection with the Information Dimension is for all who have this... functions in the brain which means that there are many who have domains? This world has amazing potential.'
'But that also means that this independent realm is limited to this reality right? I can't confirm this just yet but I truly hope that this is limited to only this reality since if it is also present to other realities with powerful individuals... It would be the end of that reality if they mess with the information inside that realm recklessly.'
He shivered at the thought and decided to make use of the Information Dimension properly and not use shortcuts to achieve what can be done using proper methods to make sure the changes were safe and properly achieved.
In short, correct.
'In comparison though. This connection with the Information Dimension boasts superior range than Eternal Night Domain but it require the holder of that connection to read some information which the Eternal Night Domain is superior in that regard when it automatically gives me absolute awareness inside my eight meter domain range.'
He compared both the Information Dimension and the Eternal Night Domain in terms of their functionality.
"Not to invade to your privacy but Snow-san, where do you plan to study? I can see quite a huge amount of pushion around you. It can help you become a Magician." suddenly asked Mizuki.
Snow didn't answer immediately but sipped from the teacup and stared right outside, his eyes locked to many figures who are eyeing him rather dangerously. It was the stare he is extremely familiar with.
"Hmm. I haven't decided yet. Do you have any recommendations?" he asked while observing Mizuki since he didn't have the chance earlier.
This girl has short black hair that reaches down to her shoulders, gold crystal eyes which Snow deems to be overly sensitive to his Spirit Power, white skin and an ample figure both front and back.
While this girl is definitely beautiful and those from his main reality would want her hand in marriage just for her appearance, her pure and somewhat innocent personality would erase the lustful emotions they harbor and would be changed into a loving emotion. Well, some of them since some others would love to break a pure and innocent person just like the young masters of other clans.
"Ah! I'm currently enrolled to First Magic High! They're famous for their competent teachers and students. They won the Nine Schools Competition for two years now, that's why there's a huge amount of students enrolling to First High."
He understand where she comes from, but he still asked, "What made you wish to become a magician? I don't think it's all fun and games at all, considering you wield such astonishing powers."
She laughed dryly and pointed to her eyes.
"My eyes are overly sensitive to pushions, the emotional aspect of the energy magicians can wield. I want to fix it, or maybe control it since it is sometimes a bother."
Snow nods understanding the situation. On one of his training sessions when he was a child, he suffered an information overload from partially activating Eternal Night Domain.
He figured the same thing could be happening to Mizuki, her eyes overly sensing things and she suffers from the information overload that her mind could not keep up in translating them to her.
"How about trying to use them constantly? I will be honest with you, Mizuki, but I also have a similar power with yours."
"Would that help? I tried it four years ago but nothing happened."
He smiled, "That's the brute-forcing method of improving your perception. There is another surefire method to remedy your sensitive eyes which is meditation. What we want to improve the ability of the mind to filter out unneeded information, or increase the capacity of the mind to translate incoming information."
Again, she tried it four years ago but Snow continued.
"Four years ago, your mind has yet to stop its growing phase. Now that you are seventeen, your mind has reached its maturity. Methods like these become effective when the mind reached maturity, you can do them now and expect results within the first month."
She took this into heart and bowed down, "Thank you, Snow-san! I'll try it when I get home."
"Do it tomorrow," he finished his teacup, "As you are today, you'd be too excited. After you calm down, you can do it then."
