49 Domain! (2/2)

Ryan's expression was ugly. He looked at Zed as if he was a monster.

”You can form a domain?” Ryan asked in disbelief.

Zed didn't answer but others were shocked by Ryan's words.

Domain! An area under which the user has absolute control: I make the rules!I make the threats! I'm the God!

”It is impossible for it to be a domain!”

”But Sir Ryan said it himself!”

”Only strongest of the mutants can manifest their abilities into a domain!”

”Zed is just 21 years old! Surely he can't be responsible!”

Alex and Jamie felt their soul tremble. They were planning to teach Zed a lesson but now they felt it was laughable. Zed was a student like them but his expertise in his ability has far surpassed even teachers!

This is often associated with the master of the domain!

Zed waved his right hand at the dome of fire above and made a grasping motion.

A gigantic fire vortex appeared from the dome of fire. Quickly the fire vortex was descending towards the ground.

”What is he doing?”

”Is he crazy?”

”Does he want to kill us all?”

”STOP!” Ryan loudly shouted but the vortex of the fire was already upon them.Everyone's bodies were sweating heavily and they were having a hard time opening their eyes.

Jessica was trembling with fear. She couldn't understand why would Zed summon a fire vortex.

”Jessica, he is doing it for teaching you so don't close your eyes,” Felicity said in a relaxed manner.

”Teaching me?” Jessica stammered. What can she learn from a fire vortex which was about to engulf all of them? Even if she wanted to open her eyes it was far too difficult with a fire vortex above her.

”You think he will kill us?” Felicity asked with a smile. She was the only one who wasn't sweating or closing her eyes.

”Of course not but--” Jessica stopped. She suddenly felt a cooling sensation as if she was in a winner region.

Cold?

She opened her eyes in disbelief.There were small droplets of ice in the air but a few meters above in the sky the vortex made of fire was still present. The thing which shocked Jessica, even more, was that the vortex of the fire was expanding albeit slowly which in turn made the ground even colder.

How is this possible?

”Domain means having ultimate control over the element you wield,” Felicity pointed a finger at the vortex in the sky as she continued, ” Have you forgotten that coldness is nothing but the absence of heat.”

Darkness is merely the absence of light just as coldness is the absence of heat!

”Zed is a fire Elementalist so obviously he can control every aspect related to the fire,” Felicity said matter of factly. Her gaze went to a small pool nearby where Zed was about to train before Ryan insulted Jessica. The pool has frozen and the same went for the obstacles inside.

Ryan was shocked into silence. He couldn't believe the level of control Zed has displayed in the domain.

”Why the hell is he studying here when he has such talent?” Ryan angrily thought.This level of domain control was enough for joining the best academies in the world. Royal Heart Academy was the number one academy in Delta City but there were even better academies outside.

”Jessica, the reason he showed he summoned the domain is to make you realize that opposite always coexists,” Felicity said in a serious tone like she was a teacher.

”Opposite?”

”Yes. People often claim that ice and fire can't coexist but aren't you now seeing a wielder of fire freezing the ground?”

Jessica understood what Felicity wanted to say but how was she supposed to use this knowledge for herself?

”Don't worry if you don't understand everything. He summoned the domain so that you can realize how high your powers can go if you are perfectly able to control your ability,” Felicity then turned her face towards Zed and said, ” She has seen the peak of power so now is the time for her to learn how to climb from the ground.”

Zed nodded his head. He waved his hand and the vortex of fire disappeared in a moment. The dome of fire and the curtain of fire started fading a moment later.

Soon the temperature was normal. The ice started melting albeit slowly...

Everyone looked at Zed in shock. He didn't destroy anything but what he did was far more terrifying than destruction.

----------

Zed's face was drenched in sweat. Forming a domain has exhausted him both mentally and physically.

”If I was in my Kiba form then managing a domain would be a piece of cake,” Zed thought while wiping the sweat from his face. There was hardly any energy left in his body.

”What I have to do next will be even more taxing but I can't stop,” Zed bitterly thought while glancing at Jessica.

He has felt pity for her when he bumped into her, so he didn't mind giving her a hand since it didn't cost him anything. Later on, when they arrived at the training field, she has requested Ryan for help but to disastrous consequences.

Zed knew she asked for help in combat training from Ryan because of what he said to her: ”The only person who can help you is yourself.”Zed felt he was obliged to help her now that he has created this mess.Mainly he did because he didn't think it would cost him anything.

”Ryan, you better have a hot wife otherwise I will make you regret being born,” Zed's eyes were radiating with devilish light as he thought of this. He blamed his current predicament on Ryan so obviously, Ryan has to pay!
