9. Space manipulation

We were now in the garden outside of the giant palace and I was sitting on the grass while she was sitting in a chair. Kinda unfair if you ask me since the dirt will stick to my pants.

“Did he teach you how to teleport?”

I shook my head, the only thing he did was make me read piles of books and do things I have no experience doing such as boiling water using mana.

“Oh…. Well since you already know space manipulation, then it would be pretty simple now.”

“Huh? Space manipulation?”

Based on what she said, it can manipulate space, so it can probably change the positions of matter in space. That probably is the basis for space manipulation, but I never used it.

“The one where you stored that sword, yes”

“Oh that….. I just used mana to generate enough mass to generate an “imaginary universe” and then a wormhole to access it.”

Technically, it is space manipulation since I do manipulate space using mana.

“That is just a more complicated method that doesn't even work better than simply using space manipulation….”

She said to me as if to offend me. Maybe her real objective is to degrade my views of myself.

“Space manipulation doesn't use mana. Turn on your celestial eyes and look at this-”

I did exactly what she told me to and turned on my celestial eyes. A metallic cube appeared in her right hand. In an instant, the cube was halved in a horizontal way, but there was no mana in that cut. I can see it, I can see the space move. The upper half then began to levitate in the air, but again there was no mana.

I saw the upper half morph into a conic-like structure, but still, there was no man involved, just the movement of space to intersect with the object.

“Now you try it”

She threw the lower half and expected me to do it with no guidance. Jay and Fedra are truly the same, maybe they are a hive mind? What if this is just a CIA conspiracy and the CIA was just using me as a weapon?

I just looked at the cube not knowing what to do. Using magic and manipulating space was just different, when Jay did something to me, it was as if using magic was just using a limb. This was different, I can’t feel a thing about manipulating space.

“I do not know what to do here”

I said to her. It was a fact

“I see”

There was a silence until she clicked her tongue for some reason.

“Why did you put so many spell blockers on him? Are you really trying to make me use ?”

She muttered under her breath. After that, I felt some footsteps coming at me. I raised my head up and saw her approaching me with a knife that had a long blade, its blade was glowing like a rainbow. I wonder what she was going to do, maybe stab a ghost behind me?

She grabbed me by the shoulder and I felt a pain on my forehead. Inside my brain, I felt pressure. I felt something drip down on my face and it felt warm. What the hell, did she just stab me?

“AAAAHHHHHHHHH!”

I let out a sound that I did not know I could make.

“3”

I grabbed her arm in an attempt to get her arm away from me, but she was immovable.

“2”

Uuuuugh my head hurts.

“1”

Suddenly she released her arm along with the knife. I put both of my hands on my forehead and threw myself to the ground.

“AHHHHHH!”

I finally stopped screaming after the pain disappeared, I hurriedly stood up and angrily told her “What the hell is wrong with you? Were you trying to kill me?”

What is with this headache and nausea? Why am I imagining stuff that never happened?

“I just gave you information on how to do law manipulation, space manipulation, and plane manipulation, that is all.”

“Yes, but did you have to stab me in the head?!”

“Well, what can I do? I can’t use for a month and a half, I can’t use magic on you because of Jay, and law manipulation just takes more effort than poking your brain with a knife that is full of neurons.”

“I don’t know…. Use law manipulation instead of stabbing me!?”

“Why not? Stabbing you in the head just causes pain. That is it, pain”

“You could have killed me!!!!”

I shouted at her, I never thought my pitch would go this high.

“Killed you? I’d be surprised if you died getting your head poked on by a regular knife”

“Also, you said you can’t use magic on me, then why did my head heal?”

“Because you regenerated duh?”

She rolled her eyes, that probably happened since I am like as Jay said a celestial.

She then raised her arm on me with her palms facing me.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

I am deeply worried about what she is going to do next, Jay, I am scared Jay, where are you?

“Just removing your left arm to show you you can regenerate”

“Fine fine, I now know I can regenerate, so please stop what you are trying to do!”

I pleaded as if my life depended on it, she was far too scary. Thankfully, she lowered her arm down.

“Then split that cube”

She pointed at the lower half of the cube that I dropped to the ground. I grabbed it and split it as she said.

“There”

It was surprisingly simple, I just needed to connect with my surroundings and gain authority over it.

“Teleport them there”

She pointed at a random spot, and I did so without any trouble. In fact, I did it without any troubles I consider magic harder than space manipulation. Tho this may be because of the information she gave me.

“Good job, now try teleporting”

She said with a proud grin at me. I felt motivated because someone smiling at me, I was about to teleport 2 meters to my left when she stopped me.

“Ah wait wait-”

A chain materialised on my wrist connecting my wrist with hers. I don’t know why she had to do it considering I am only teleporting 2 meters to the left

“Just in case”

I teleported but I felt a weird feeling while teleporting, maybe this was normal? But our surroundings were different, maybe that feeling was not normal since someone may have hijacked the teleportation.

“Huh? Where are we?”

I looked around and noted to myself that I brought Fedea along with me. But what really got my attention was that she was perfectly calm, maybe she was the one who teleported us?

She suddenly, let out an exhausted sigh.

“I knew this would’ve happened, I should’ve just waited for Jay to return until I started teaching you about teleportations”

She complained under her breath and the chains connecting us disappeared. I was expecting her to disappear, but she didn't. Guess that chain was just a regular chain then huh?

“You seem awfully calm, do you know where we are?”

She finally looked at me straight in the eyes after the whole teleportation incident.

“Welcome to the 1st layer of Pandemonium, the place where hypocrites thrive”

Never knew politicians had a really creepy hiding spot. I looked around and noted that the area was extremely eerie. There was something in this place that should never be looked on, that was what my intuition is.

A sound then rang in my ears and it appeared to be made from footsteps. I turned my head to the source of it and found….. Fedra with black hair?

I turned my head to where Fedra was but she was still here. I also noted that the black-haired Fedra has short hair and a masculine body. Also, why does he have a creepy look? He is overly serious.

“Grandma? What are you doing here?”

He revealed something shocking to me. I have trouble accepting that this guy maybe my niece. Although the face gives it and also the fact that the two already had a kid. I turned on my celestial eyes and noticed that the timeframe does not make any sense.
