My Space-Time System-Chapter 490 - 490 Back to work.
490 Back to work.
“Cami can you explain to me your view on the lightning element?” Blake asked surprising Camilla.
“You mean what I think about it?” Camilla was a little bit confused by the question.
“Yes, but also how you use it in and off the battlefield.” Blake said.
“In battle, I see lightning as the tool of destruction to take down enemies quickly and efficiently. As for off the battle I hardly use it, instead, I make use of the water element.” Camilla said making Blake deeply ponder her words.
‘In my case, I make use of the utility of the lightning and not its destructive nature.’ Blake thought but he soon realized something. ‘In fact, the same could be said for all of my elements!’
Blake mostly used lightning reinforcement and neuron overload in battles, while the fire element was mostly for making quick maneuvers using flamebursts. As for the space element, nothing about it was destructive, yet.
‘Oh well, it makes sense. When you have a sword that can cut through basically everything why would you stress yourself using inferior things.’ Blake thought.
“Thanks.” Blake said to Camilla before leaving the living room and returning to his bedroom.
“Is the problem that I haven’t extensively explored the destructive part of my elements?” Blake asked himself as he crossed his legs.
.....
“Well, it actually makes sense. My theory involves studying the elements so I should be studying both the destructive and utility aspects.” Blake said to himself as he conjured a fireball.
The good thing about the situation was that Blake and the girls had already visited most of the major spots in the city; meaning he had more time to cultivate.
…
During the rest of their last week of vacation, Blake had been spending nothing less than 8 hrs a day meditating and switching between lightning and fire elements.
Since he was to start from the foundations, Blake first started by examining the nature of a fireball.
He noticed that the fireball had a calm and majestic flow to it. It was only when a foreign object or particle entered the fireball’s range that its peaceful flow was disturbed, causing the flames to attack and latch onto the foreign object.
From the little but important phenomenon, Blake understood that fire was only violent when something messed with it. Fire was ready to latch onto and burn to ashes foreign objects that came in contact with it, even if it meant getting extinguished at the end of the day.
Blake realized that this was the exact principle the royal family used. They didn’t care about whatever the underground organizations, gangs, and even noble families did, but the moment they interfered with their plans intentionally or not, they would be immediately wiped out to the last member.
When he understood the principle he couldn’t help but facepalm because the answer had been right in front of him for 3 years.
He had always found it surprising that all members of the royal family were calm although they were practicing the most violent pathway.
Luciano had always been calm and indifferent to things, but Blake had witnessed when he had instantly turned ruthless when nobles tried to mess with his friends.
The downside of the fire element was that its hunger for vengeance could lead to madness or death, but that was not an issue for the wielders of the golden flames.
As for the lightning element, Blake noticed that, unlike the fire element, lightning was nothing close to being calm.
Out of all the elements it was the coldest, most energetic, and most destructive that once given a chance would not waste a single second destroying anything in its way.
Unlike other elements that could be easily controlled when released, the emotionless and destructiveness of the lightning element made it difficult for even its master to control.
The only way to tame the ravaging demon that was the lightning element was by keeping it within.
Unfortunately, after spending most of the rest of his vacation understanding the principle of the fire and lightning element, Blake didn’t feel any change in his body; regardless he continued with the Space element.
He was well aware that understanding the principles of the elements was different from practicing them. So he was in no way bothered.
On the last day of their vacation, Brian and Castiel were the first to say their goodbyes as they went on new commissions.
“Thanks for the vacation, you guys really made it fun.” Blake said to Camilla and Tessie.
“Sorry for Castiel and Brian. If I knew that this would happen, I wouldn’t have invited them in the first place.” Camilla said as she felt guilty for the awkward situations that occurred during the last week of the vacation.
“You shouldn’t be, it was none of your faults. You actually did the right thing by bringing us together.” Blake said as he hugged her before kissing her on the forehead.
“Come here.” Blake opened his hand for Tessie to join the embrace.
“I will miss your cooking.” Blake said as he led them to the door.
“At least you no longer need to spend on cooking. You can now return to having dinner at the canteen.” Camilla said causing them to chuckle.
Blake gave them one more kiss before they finally left, returning the house to its default state.
“I guess it’s only us left.” Blake said as he took out beast cores from his dimensional pocket and fed them to Ebony and Ivory.
…
The day soon came to an end, and Blake had to return to The Square to resume his duties as a Captain.
“The vacation was awesome but I won’t say it is something I would be dying for.” Blake still couldn’t get himself to be comfortable with being ideal.
“Let’s see what we have here.” Blake said as he sat on his chair and picked up one of the files on his table, but that was when a knock was heard on his door. 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨ｍ
