445 Yin-Yang Master Seiji (2/2)
His card instantly transformed into a blinding silvery-white light that entered his body.
Seiji witnessed the progress requirements for these final two requirements increase at a high speed. Then, it felt like something was exploding in his brain! His consciousness was instantly swept away before he even felt any pain.
Seiji faintly felt as if he was floating.
Everything was dark around him. However, he could sense some colors and hear some sounds.
The colors transformed into scenes, and the sounds became livelier. He could smell aromas and felt as if he could touch something… but there was still some sort of barrier.
Something gigantic, countless and endless existed here, touching, colliding, overlapping, combining…
Some voices that sounded very far away spoke up.
”What exactly are Spiritual Power and Mana?”
”Spiritual Power is human ability to control Mana, while Mana is the original energy of all beings.”
”That's such a rough description.”
”What do you believe, then?”
”Spiritual Power aside, Mana… this type of energy, when you think about it, it breaks so many natural laws, such as conservation of energy, creating matter out of nothing, and so on. It's quite inconceivable. From my experiences, I suspect that it's something not completely from this world.”
”What do you mean?”
”Mana is actually an energy product of different worlds… produced by many parallel dimensions colliding or overlapping together!”
”Oh… this is quite an interesting theory of yours.”
”I know, right? At the very least, I think it's a lot more interesting than such a rough description like calling it the original energy of all beings.”
”Heh heh, just because you were bored, you so casually refuted what all Yin-Yang Masters… no, what all Spiritual Ability users in the world believe to be one of the basics of Mana.”
”Don't make me sound so grand. I was just mentioning it as a casual aside… Apart from my 'Parallel Dimension Theory,' I also have a 'Dark Matter Theory' as well.”
”What's that?”
”I'd have to explain dark matter first then, along with dark energy. Actually, I don't really understand these either, after all, I'm only…”
The voices gradually faded.
Who were these two people talking to each other? Seiji felt like he knew, but also didn't know.
He floated just like this, feeling and experiencing things…
His consciousness gradually rose, but also felt like it was falling. His consciousness separated into two clear extremes that then combined again with each other.
”When everything, including the very world's existence, is unclear, just like illusions, what is your most fundamental nature?”
Seiji felt like he heard this question and smiled in response to whatever existence asked him this.
'My answer is simple. I'm simply…'
The handsome boy opened his eyes.
He felt like he just finished a long journey that he had forgotten during his sleep as he rested on his bed. He couldn't remember what occurred, but felt that something had definitely changed within him.
”I… what…” He carefully thought about what happened, then recalled who he was and what he was doing.
”I'm Seiji Haruta… and from this moment onward…”
Seiji lifted his hand as something silver flashed on his palm. An intricate three-colored runic seal appeared, intersecting with black, white, and gray in a complex pattern that seemed like a version of the Yin-Yang diagram.
