Chapter 41: Testing the Ability
Translator: Kingbao Editor: DarkGem
"Dad, you're finally back." Yao Si pounced on him. Did you know? Your baby was so afraid!
"Mu. Xuan," he spat out resolutely. "Or father."
"Mu Xuan dad."
"..." He sighed. "I heard you met some bad people?" he asked before she could speak again.
"Yea!" Yao Si stilled, shaking her head. "That's not important, I've got something to tell you... I think there's a problem with my ability." She instantly went to the important part since she was used to clarifying things with him.
Mu Xuan frowned, taking a good look at her. After he confirmed that there wasn't anything visibly wrong with her, his temples relaxed slightly. His cub was unusually unlucky, constantly in harm's way—outside she was kidnapped, at home she met burglars. He probably had to keep a tighter watch on her in the future. How could he allow others to bully his cub after he had not been part of her life for so long.
"What's wrong with your ability?" He reached out for her arm, transferring some energy over to investigate her condition. The energy went one round but wasn't able to catch anything, hence, he brought it back.
Yao Si had no idea about it, so she explained what happened last night in detail.
"Isn't space summoning the main skill of the space type abilities?" Space splitting was the more advanced version, but only the very best were able to accomplish that. "Why was my space ability only able to move those three burglars..." The main point was that she still couldn't feel anything!
Mu Xuan lowered his head in deep thought before replying. "It's possible... that it isn't a normal space ability."
"Not normal?" Then what was it? She had clearly opened a black space portal similar to the one created by that burglar Lao Da.
"Yours could be negative space."
"Huh?" What is that?
"Even though the space ability is split into space summoning and space splitting, it is fundamentally the same ability," Mu Xuan explained seriously. "It works by first creating a space opening and then placing objects in it to send them elsewhere. But your space ability acts different, it works in the opposite way."
"... How so?"
"Opposite in sequence."
"Sequence..." Yao Si stilled, her eyes going wide. "You mean, I don't put things into the space opening but rather take them out?"
"That's right." He nodded and reached out to caress her head approvingly. "Negative space allows you to take anything from the surrounding space, and at that moment the three burglars were the closest objects that had entered a space opening, hence it was what you removed."
"Hmm..." Why did this ability seem so weird? Was that why a single thought was enough for her to automatically unravel the three burglars' optical computers, tossing all their loot out? Her ability seemed like the ultimate way to keep things where they are. With such an amazing ability, should she join a cult or something?
"I have one more question!" She weakly raised a finger.
"Mmh?"
"My ability... is it a one time thing?"
"..."
Yao Si confessed everything, about how the ability disappeared soon after she activated it.
