"You...comprehended a law?" Liam, Serai, and Riza all said in disbelief. "You haven"t even killed a s.p.a.ce affinity creature...how is that possible? You must not be lucid yet and thinking that you comprehend a law. After all, you were asleep for 2 years." Serai said, shocked and thinking he was dreaming or something, she disregarded what he said earlier.The rest of them nodded their heads, "Ah, so that"s how it is" they thought in their heads, before being shocked and surprised once again when they saw Rey vanish before their eyes and reappear right behind them.
"Now do you believe me? Do not tell anyone else about this though, or it will be dangerous. The fewer people who know that I have control over s.p.a.ce the better" Rey said according to what Hibari was telling him mentally.
"Good! Not many people should know this about you, or it will create trouble. Telling your family was necessary, but telling Riza was not a good idea...even if she is a close friend" Hibari said with some worry.
"Relax, you can trust her." Rey responded mentally.
After a long pause, Riza, Serai, and Liam finally calmed down.
"So it is true..." Serai said, "When did you kill a s.p.a.ce affinity creature?"
"I haven"t killed any s.p.a.ce creatures, I was born with the s.p.a.ce law." Rey explained.
"Is that even possible??" Riza spoke in bewilderment.
"It is" Serai interjected, "There are rare creatures here on Reje that are born with a mortal stage 6 understanding of some laws, but that is nothing to the level you are at it seems."
Rey continued to catch his family up to speed. Telling him all about what he had learned about the destruction of his race and the being called the Ancient while omitting any details about Hibari or the storage ring.
"Maybe we can kill that creature now? Your abilities may be extremely helpful! What do you guys think? Riza couldn"t help but say.
"No! He isn"t ready for fighting it. Back then we had over 5 times our strength, and our losses were still great with only being able to severely wound the creature before he could escape. We won"t be able to fight that creature, plus it has only gotten stronger over time. Maybe if there were a few experts around, but our remote town cannot hope to defeat such a creature!" Liam said, with a tinge of fear.
"I"m confused, what is this creature? Why haven"t I heard of this?" Rey said.
"About two years ago, when you fell into your coma, there appeared a s.p.a.ce affinity creature that our father and I were going to hunt. Then you fell into your coma, and it started wreaking havoc wherever it went. We sent many semi-mortal staged fighters and even a couple semi-novice staged fighters to kill the beast, yet we lost more than half of our group and it fled. Back then it was at the Semi-mortal stage 17 of the s.p.a.ce law, and now it"s about the Semi-novice stage 3-6 I presume. I forbid you to challenge it! We just have to wait until some experts fight it." Serai said in a wavering voice.
"I understand, I"ll have to train then until then" Rey with determination.
"Just don"t push yourself too hard, so far the creature hasn"t hit our town and it doesn"t seem to be going for us at the moment," Serai said.
They continued to catch up on all the social events for a good 30 minutes until Riza, Serai, and Liam all left, leaving Rey to think.
"At this instant, I need to focus on adapting to my powers." Rey stated mentally, "Since I can teleport, both ranged attacks and melee are optimal...I"ll buy some arrows and a good bow, and then grab a couple of daggers for sneak attacks." Rey formulated his plan.
"Why not just create your own weapons? You do after all have the ability to shape materials." Hibari said.
"That works? I guess I"ll give it a try" Rey walked out of his house, breathing in the fresh...Nevermind, the manure that filled the air. Oh, how he loved that familiar smell. He walked over to his parent"s shed and grabbed some sc.r.a.p iron and some sticks. He then proceeded to cast his materiokenesis ability and will the metal and wood in his hand to transform.
Chi! Chi! Pop!
The mixture of wood and metal exploded and flew a couple of chunks around the shed. Failed! Rey then proceeded to try again but with only the metal this time.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Slowly, the metal began to move and turn as s.p.a.ce energy was poured into it. it formed into a ball before slowly flattening and becoming sharper. Gradually, beads of sweat began to form as Rey was nearing completion. He then gave it a quick design and smoothed any edges to help cut cleaner.
"Not bad! Although your energy is nearly depleted with your lack of experience and control over the s.p.a.ce law, you still managed too manipulate a single material." Hibari said.
I still need to make the handle too" he thought. He began to manipulate the wood this time with the last bit of energy he had.
Chi! Chi!
Quickly, the wood moved and flowed into the desired shape. Seems the material matters quite a bit in regards to difficulty and energy drain. He quickly morphed the wood around the metal dagger blade.
Success! The first weapon is completed! Rey tested it out on a sparing dummy he had to see how sharp he made it.
Pshew!
It cut cleanly through but still wasn"t very flexible. If the blade isn"t flexible enough, then it will slowly break and chip away.
"Seems like I"ll need to fine-tune each object I make for the desired effect." Rey said with satisfaction. He was super happy with this skill.
"Hibari, please show me my stats, and remove the nonsense!" Rey said.
"Alright, alright...For having such strong bones, you don"t seem to have a single funny bone in your body!" Hibari jested some more before pulling up Rey"s stats.

"Why must you continue taunting me?" Rey helplessly said.
"Eh? Probably because I can. It is after all one of my favorite hobbies." Hibari said in a creepy laugh.
"Why do I feel like you are just getting crazier each second..." Rey said helplessly.
"There"s something I should tell you, in those two years when you were asleep...It seems that I...somehow was also...asleep." Hibari said with great confusion. "Normally, when you sleep, even if you go into a coma, I"ll still be awake, but somehow, something managed to even put me to sleep."
Rey"s eyes open wide as he heard this. "You think someone knows about you and did something?"
"Not possible, I only exist as a soul attached to yours, so n.o.body at the level of your world should be able to detect me, much less manipulate souls." Hibari stated. "Just keep your eyes open for answers.
"Got it!" Rey said
Rey decided to wait around and do ch.o.r.es or catch up more with Riza and Aizen, one of his other friends. It turned out that in those two years he was in a coma, Aizen reached the mortal stage 12 in both the air law and the metal law by the age of 15. People could train in multiple laws, but progress would typically be slower and tough to do. If one could accomplish such a feat though, then their future would be brighter.
In the next 3 weeks, Rey made 2 more knives, 20 arrows, a bow, and some armor with help from Hibari.

Rey was ready now to fight and absorb more s.p.a.ce bloodlines. He needed to get stronger if he wanted to fight that s.p.a.ce creature terrorizing their land.
"Hold up! Check out any other abilities you have right now so you aren"t surprised by them when push comes to shove. Don"t be too scared about permeability!" Hibari suggested with a mischievous voice.
Rey nodded to Hibari, then decided to test out his other abilities in sequential order.
First, he threw his 3 daggers in different directions.
shua shua shua!
Hummm
He then tried teleporting all three daggers headed towards a dummy, but the daggers he threw were too quick for him to process and was only able to teleport one dagger to the dummy. This was his limit until he practiced to be more proficient.
Next up was Imbue. This was one skill he thought was pretty lame. He first cut the dummy without Imbue to create a baseline, then activated Imbue. He poured his s.p.a.ce energy into the dagger and saw trace refractions of light around the dagger.
Pshew!
He took a big chunk of straw out of the dummy. The destructive power of Imbue was greater than he had imagined, albeit the dummy was just straw, but he could also increase the s.p.a.ce energy he poured in.
Since he already had some experience in Materiokenisis, he decided to skip that go on straight onto gravity manipulation. He put all unnecessary weight into his s.p.a.ce ring and then proceeded to send his s.p.a.ce energy outward below him, encircling and flowing around him. He then proceeded to jump 6 meters off of the ground. He put more s.p.a.ce energy into the bottom-half of his s.p.a.ce energy circle, and he started to hover in the air. He placed some energy behind him, and he started falling forwards. This skill for the short 8 seconds he had it going drained 5 s.p.a.ce energy points. If he was able to get more s.p.a.ce energy, Rey may very well be able to fly for short periods of time.
"Hehe, next up is permeability...For this skill, go outside where there isn"t a roof above you, also do it near a soft patch of dirt for less energy consumption." Hibari directed.
Rey was feeling nervous about this skill. He thought that it couldn"t be that complicated, but Hibari was putting fear into his heart. Rey started to flow the s.p.a.ce energy inside his body, and suddenly sight was getting blurry, he was starting to become deaf, and couldn"t feel anything around his body. He quickly stopped the s.p.a.ce energy flow and his senses returned back to normal. He felt himself accelerating at an extremely fast rate upwards and then saw the ground. He continued rising until he was 50 meters high in the air when finally, he started falling. He quickly flowed energy in a half circle below his body to counter-act gravity before he crashed into the earth. He came to an abrupt stop. Scary!
"When you become illusory like that, all light, sound, touch, all of your senses are gone, and no one can see you as light pa.s.ses through your body. Matter cannot exist in two places at once, so when you deactivated it as you were falling, your body bolted upwards through the ground." Hibari stated. "Try permeating everything but the bottom of your feet. Also, you might want to quickly grab your clothes so you don"t create any embarra.s.sing scenes..." Hibari laughed.
Rey, realizing this, felt embarra.s.sed and quickly flowed s.p.a.ce energy around his body except for his feet. Luckily no one else was around...
This time, Rey could still feel the gra.s.s beneath his feet, he continued walking for a little bit before his energy ran out and he recovered his appearance. He quickly ran over to his clothes and put them back on.
"I"m ready! Tomorrow I"ll head out with Riza and Aizen to hunt some creatures, maybe even a s.p.a.ce creature if we have time!" Rey told Hibari.
"With my help, sensing s.p.a.ce bloodlines should be a cakewalk!" Hibari laughed with some bloodl.u.s.t in his voice.
