And so, that's basically about it. I now have to follow Danielle as he takes me to the capital of Nova Crystalist. But before we can reach there however, we took another stop at an Inn in Nocturnyx. Throughout the journey so far with Danielle, I find that he was apparently more pleasant than what I were to believe originally. He's a lot more tolerable than most of the other annoying people from Magic Entertainment class that's for sure. I was honestly surprised that someone as pleasant as him could stand against those people in his class. But then again, he was probably able to fight back thanks to his infamy.
I turned my head as I looked outside of the window and asked Danielle, "Hey Danielle...What the heck was that ability of yours. It was...vicious."
"You mean that thing I did with those AIs?" He made sure.
I nodded as I continued to look outside of the window.
He then explained to me, "It's called Meltdown. The shortest answer to what you seek, is that I can shoot out laser particles. Its hot and it will penetrate even the toughest wall."
He later told me a more detailed one in which its not just shooting out laser in particular. So apparently his ability was a third generation unique ability which basically means that his ability has a mixture between science and magic. Well, not in the least that I could understand of course. It sounded like pseudoscience to me but it might also be true considering he could do it.
He told me that he could conjure electrons in a way that allows him to create those green laser. Not only he's able to do that, as what I have observed during the last fight, he could also manipulate the electrons to create a shield that can disintegrate anything that it touches. Plus, considering that he's able to control electrons, he may also have some effect against electricity. He could probably redirect electricity with the ability he has. As of now, he could conjure of two of these concentrated electrons. He told me that he could probably do more with a little bit of practice as he was originally able to only do one.
There are some limitations despite the destructive potential his ability has. Due to the sheer extent of this power, he requires a certain time to aim in exchange. Also, despite being able to shoot out two beams at once, he can only do it in one direction which was where he would be facing. And considering the amount of focus needed to release said energy, he can't go rapid fire mode. He's basically a walking laser cannon.
"Despite all the burdens however..." Danielle continued, "I have these thing to compensate my limitations."
He brought out a piece of card.
"This here is a silicone card. When I shoot my single directional lasers to this thing, the lasers will disperse into multiple shots. So I'm covered for most situations."
"You're right. Your biggest weakness is basically surprise attacks. You won't have the time to quickly retaliate with your electrons." I summarized.
He slowly nodded and said, "Well I'm fine with that since I'm still able to fight normally like most people. I can do hand to hand combat if I need to. Heck, I could also just use my elemental magic."
After hearing that, I decided to take a nice cup of coffee from downstairs but then Danielle was curious of something.
He looked at my dagger that was hanging on my sheath and asked, "What about you, White? You wanna tell me how your ability works? I've told you mine. Even my weakness."
I sighed and gave in, "Sure. You've entertained me with my question. I'll return the favour."
Perhaps a quick revision was in the works after all this time. I told him what was my unique ability was which was Pause. Which is in its basic understanding, allows me to stop time momentarily while still being able to move around. Its not a third generation magic nor is it also a second generation magic. Its a first generation magic, which means that it is Ancient Magic. It is now the rarest of all type. I couldn't really tell him that part given the circumstances I'm in. But I did told him how I could only do this for a certain period of time before my head gets sick. The current range and time limit that I was able to go for was four and a half seconds and 15 metre respectively. My range have grew a lot but the time I was given remains to delicately increase at the slowest pace it could possibly be.
I've told him that but I also had another ability thanks to this Infinity Crystals situation I'm in. I didn't told him of course but for revision sake, it's called Blink. In which, it allows me to manipulate my self or anything that I touch and bring it somewhere else in a blink of an eye. Its like instant teleportation. This also has limitations where I couldn't use it in rapid succession as it will cause minor migraines.
To compensate both of my inconveniences, I studied Wind Magic as well as obtaining other elemental magic that would be suitable to me. As far as I know for now, I can also do Electric Magic but not in the same level as a certain Thunder Mouse I know. I also seemed to have some compatibility with Water Magic but I haven't tried that out yet. Maybe I could ask Zenith to teach me. That would be helpful.
And so, we spent the night talking about the mechanics of our abilities. We grew to learn each other slowly as we understood the ins and outs of our powers. We also had normal conversations of course. We talked about our classmates as well as making fun of Sam Maximus. Danielle also went into the deep end and asked about my relationship that seems to be reaching the rumor mill recently. I had no choice but to prevail and told him who was this lucky little phoenix I got.
Hopefully, she's alright out there.
