I Choose The Heroine's Route

31 Dark Magic pt.2 ft. Gaos

"Gaos, do you think someone has already thought of using Dark Magic the way that I'm using it?" I asked Gaos as I opened 5 small gaps all at once on the ground.

"You're planning on doing something more with this void, arent you? You're probably the first who have thought of it this way, but don't get cocky human! I'm still better!" Ignoring the last part, I couldn't help but think as I open another 5 small gaps as the other previous 5 close, however, this time, instead of opening or placing them on the ground, they're floating in the air, surrounding me.

When I started thinking about what I can do to take out an object without direct contact, I've thought of using the void this way with the help of all the various fictional works I've read.

Besides that, I also kind of refused to believe and admit that something like this can only be used for storage and keeping.

– As I was thinking like this and about what Gaos said, I was slightly distracted, thus, all the gaps closed immediately, disappearing mid-air without even a trace as if they're merely nothing but an illusion.

Well... as I might have already said before, maintaining them is really not that easy.

I have to control my Mana, focus on their sizes, location all at once if I opened multiple of them, and I also have to think of the object that I want to take out if that's what I'm planning on doing. It's like you're doing various tasks all at once without any break because once you do take a break, everything will get disrupted and then vanish.

As for how I'm going to take something out of the void and gap without direct contact, I can probably use shadow control and Magic.

If I just want to take or push out an object from the void then onto the gap, then I can just do that with shadow control, but if I want to make it more 'useful' especially in combat, then I can use Magic, enhancing and such, raising its speed, its weight, if I want to.

I can control shadow inside the void where it's supposed to be just endless darkness with no light at all – as I mentioned earlier, this void of mine probably originated from my own shadow.

A good example would be –

I opened up another gap in the air, one that's slightly bigger than the one I've been creating before. Visualizing the long sword which is one of the swords I've brought and stored inside there as I maintain the gap, I also controlled the shadow inside, making it hold the long sword as I yank it out with quite the force.

Then, before it completely left the gap, just half away out of it, I quickly cast speed enhancement on the long sword and before I could even blink, it was already out from my field of view, and what remained was only the still opened gap. All I heard was a large clank as if some sort of mental hit the wall hard.

The gap finally closed and I turned my head, seeing that there was no damage at all to the wall.

However, the long sword was quite far from it – almost as if it was repelled. The stunt I pulled obviously worked, and the wall having no damage at all must have meant that...

"It's repelled." Gaos stated, voicing out my thoughts, "You humans are quite handy, thinking of convenient things like this."

Besides the Mana Absorption Magic in this training room, there's also probably a Repelling Magic, a Magic that's lower in level than Mana Absorption but still definitely higher in level than others.

Thinking like this, I somehow inhaled a larger intake of breath than usual, I didn't even realize that I was unconsciously limiting my breathing as I was doing all of that.
