Chapter 106: Speed Limit

Lake had been controlling the two separate vortexes in an inverse manner for about 30 minutes at this point. It had been hard at first because splitting his attention was something he had never really done until today when he was compressing the cube but in that instance his attention had mainly been on the insides of the cube and keeping it in shape had been nothing.

Now that he had the hang of controlling the speed of the vortexes he thought he could try to break the limit. Dissipating one of the vortexes Lake started to speed up the other one until he got to the max set speed. Feeling his progress come to a halt, Lake guessed it wasn't going to be as easy as he had hoped.

He thought he would be able to get past the limit now even if it was just by a little because of all the training he had done in the last hour or so. He had no idea what he was doing wrong and thought maybe there was some form of affinity for different principles. He remembered when the Temple head had told him he would be good at earth magic because he understood how to turn things solid.

He had no idea what she had been basing that off of when she had said it but she had been right because it seemed that was all he could do when it came to magic. Apparently turning Wind mana solid was supposed to be much harder than speeding it up because the section about turning it solid had been much longer but he had been able to do it in less than 20 minutes and he had already spent double that amount on speed if you added the time from earlier.

Lake shrugged and just reformed the two small vortexes. The book had said this was the best way and Lake would be stupid to try and come up with some new method before he had actually made any progress. It wasn't like he had anything to do today so he could just stay here till he got hungry or tired.

Continuing the process Lake was eventually to the point where he didn't even need to think about what he was doing anymore. Lake thought maybe this meant he was finally ready because when he had made the cube earlier before he had started to stretch it out this was about the amount of effort he had put into it.

He had just thought about what he wanted and it had happened all on its own and now the vortexes were doing the same thing with no manual control being added by him. This time when one of the vortexes got to max speed instead of starting the slowing process Lake pushed it trying to get it to go even a little faster then it was supposed to.

He saw a red beam fly and smack into the vortex that he was using to fly. Right after the impact happened, Lake felt his spell crumble and he crashed into the floor. Once again he found the place he landed was soft and he wasn't hurt in any way but he was confused why Joy had done this until he heard her laugh.

It was just a prank apparently. "That's something you should remember if you ever plan to use Fly during a battle. I've killed people by doing something as small as what I just did to you at a good moment during a fight." Lake guessed this was probably a good thing for him to realize as soon as possible, so he said. "Thank you for this lesson."

It felt odd thanking someone for something like this but she had only done this because she knew it was perfectly safe. "If I was you I wouldn't use fly in battle until you can recast it instantly." Lake nodded and asked. "Can Antimagic do that to any element or are there exceptions?"

"It has more to do with the person than what element they are using. It just messes with the principles that were in your spell making it hard for you to control if you are inexperienced in magic. If you had been practicing magic for a lot longer than I have you would have been fine and only experienced a small hiccup."

Lake nodded he still didn't really understand Antimagic very well but this was a start and he only needed to ask one more thing before he knew if he could use it as well. "Is it just an element with an odd name, or is it different?"

"There's a God of Antimagic if that's what you're asking, but the only way someone can use it is if they are given the common version of Comprehension and Antimagic is their one Affinity. Someone like you who can use Different elements can't use it."

Lak nodded He could see why Joy would think this because under normal circumstances she would probably be right Lake was pretty sure Joy had seen him use 4 elements up to this point so she would think he had either an epic or a legendary version of Comprehension which would exclude him from Antimagic but he bet she was wrong.

The only way Lake saw it not working for him was if the God of Antimagic himself stopped him but Lake had no intentions of doing it Infront of Joy so he just said. "You want to eat dinner in my room tonight? You're already in the spire so you might as well." Joy shook her head and said. "I was planning on going to the cafeteria that Millie reopened. The food isn't as good as what she was serving us in her room, but you can get it at any time now so it's a good trade off."

Lake guessed this was why Millie hadn't been in her room earlier when he had knocked it seemed her new apprentices had arrived and she had moved her operation into a bigger area than the small kitchen she had been using in her room. "Ok let's go there then." Joy helped him onto his feet and they both started the long walk downstairs.
