Chapter 14 - What is Mana?

After what seemed like a long time, I awoke to find myself in a hospital room, yet again.

Soon after, I began hallucinating that Blaze was right in front of me.

"I am here, a pretty neat thing I learned," I was surprised that he yet again improved, but what gave me confidence was his promise that he won't betray me. I was also wondering how it worked. I mean, was he able to see behind me, or was he only limited by my senses?

"It works by your senses. What you see, I see, what you feel, I feel if I were able to manipulate mana for you, I would also probably get another sense, but I can't. Also, I had a lot of time to think about things. Anyway, when Amanda comes through the door and asks us about mana, let me do the talking." What did he mean to let him do the talking? Was he planning to take over my body to talk? I don't believe that he has such capabilities.

"You are lucky that I can't hit you here," What did I do?

Coming back from the cafeteria with my master, I went to Oscar's room to check if he was awake. Although it was a small likelihood that the medicine worked that fast, he might still be awake at this moment, and I wanted to scold him for making such a mess for me.

Entering the room, I noticed that Oscar was faking asleep. I just came close to his face and whispered, "I know you're awake," Soon, he sighed and opened his eyes.

"Damn, was it really that easy to notice that I was awake" He seemed annoyed, and I just nodded.

"Damn, was it really that easy to notice that I was awake" I was annoyed because Oscar was making fun of my fake sleeping technique; he was laughing like he was watching a beginner-level actor.

"Amanda, why did you come to visit the kid? I have something to do," It Seemed that she brought the old man for him to hear the theories that I had.

"First, you don't have anything to do; you are retired and lazy. Second, I came to collect my debt" She seemed pissed off at me for some reason, but I couldn't know why. I mean, I did ask her for help, but it shouldn't have been this difficult for her to catch some kidnappers.

"Alright, just follow what I say," Blaze told me, and I finally understood why he wanted to hit me.

"What Is mana? By that, I mean how mana appeared in the universe and how does it tie into the laws of physics?" When I said that, both Amanda and the old man seemed confused but still played along.

"Mana is believed to have appeared from another universe or dimension, and it doesn't tie to physics because it isn't from our universe or dimension," The old man answered. When he finished explaining, I heard Blaze laugh, mumbling about how dumb that was.

"Incorrect, actually mana is something called strange matter. It is a matter that is born in such extreme conditions that it has the ability to bend the laws of physics and even force other matter to bend by its will; now, it is an oversimplification, but if you give me some time, I can properly explain what strange matter is," After I finished explaining they were looking at me with confusion and distrust, they probably didn't believe me. ( I got Inspiration for this idea from Kurzgesagt In a Nutshell, you can check out their video on strange matter it's pretty interesting)

"Okay, kid, what is the proof that your theory is real?" The old man asked a good question, but it seemed blaze already had this one covered.

"I have a unique skill that I thought was useless, but not anymore; I won't be telling what it does, but it's the reason I was able to find so much about mana. Oh, and please don't go around blabbering about this; I want my academy life to be quiet and peaceful." Both of them were surprised, but that surprise didn't last long. It seemed that they believed me, and not only that, it appeared they began to believe in the theory.

They soon began questioning about the theory, and I just looked at blaze for help. Together, we answered a couple of questions on the existence of mana, and they seemed happy about it, especially Amanda. It appeared that she thought it was definitely worth the trouble for my information, and it also seemed that she would annoy me a lot more to get out information in the future.

Soon they left, and I was left alone with Blaze; we talked a bit, and he told me it was better to talk in the mind space because it felt weird and sometimes seemed that I was talking into thin air, but I didn't know how to enter the mind space.

"Oh... about that, you can no longer dream; every time you fall asleep, you'll enter the mind space," I was first happy because I could be more productive, but then I was confused; wouldn't that leave me tired all the time, didn't my brain need to sleep and cool down.

"Yeah... 'our' brain is no longer normal. It's more like a computer, you still need to sleep for physical reasons, but mentally you don't need to sleep, and your brain is reprogrammed due to the skill [Data Mind]. Now, you have a lot more free time to learn things or play games, whichever fits best," I was glad that I gained this ability; it would help me cram.

Falling asleep, I entered the mind's space and noticed a couple of renovations, the strangest one being, A big blue, glowing sword with a red king's cape and a jeweled crown, some pigs were walking near the sword, and a sign reading "May Tecnoblade rest in peace even in this world." I finally realized that this was a memorial. I wonder who this was to Blaze.

Continuing onward, I met up with Blaze at the center, and he didn't seem happy.

"I just had a conversation with that person who sent me to this world, and it seems that my theory was completely true and did well for this world. The second thing he said is that we need to train hard even if our enemies would be stronger because the thing that is coming to this world is dangerous, and if we're not prepared, it will destroy the world..." As that, he continued telling me what happened with the angel, but it seemed that he wasn't telling me everything, but it appeared that it wasn't by choice. Either way, I respected him and would help him in any way I could.

"Okay, I get it. What's next? What's the plan?"

"The plan is simple we train, get into the academy, get comrades, and get ready for the destruction of the world," He didn't have a plan for what to do now. It seemed that I finally had a break.

"So you basically don't have a plan?"

"Yeah..."

***

10 Minutes before Oscar entered the Mind space.

"So... Who are you?" I asked the being that invaded our mind and seemed to be avoiding my questions.

"You could say that I'm the one who sent you here, but before we continue talking, I need to get rid of unwelcome guests," I was surprised that this kid was the one who sent me here, but I understood that everything was going to be explained soon enough. But what did she mean by unwelcome guests? Did someone else invade my and Oscar's mind?

Omitted
