12 C 12. White Room!

The class continues after that lengthy world situation thingy. 

We were explained that every person with special ability in the world has above average body constitution.

Our body is inherently stronger and durable. And most of us are immune to most viral or bacterial infections. But there is a tendency for us to carry the disease and spread it to others. 

He makes an example of a person that can breathe fire. 

The fire was reddish indigo in colour: which was unusual. The person has a wife that after their honeymoon and all, was diagnosed with skin cancer. Something that devastated them completely!

It was after he was brought here that they managed to find that his flame has unusual radiation. And the radiation can cause unusual mutations in different people.

And the possible way that the wife contracted skin cancer was, the person has the habit of using his fire in cooking their food, in their forest outing. The radiation from the flame affects the wife's skin, and she contracts cancer.

So, our ability, especially those that are energy-based, need to be tested well, to know if their existence alone will cause harm or not. 

And know how to tackle the problem.

He speaks a lot of other different stuff regarding how we, ability users should behave and use our powers accordingly without causing major harm. 

In the end, the class was dismissed by saying tomorrow, we will know the categorization of special abilities.

We walk out from the class at the same time other classes are coming out. 

There was a little interaction between us before we walked to our new rooms in Dormitory 6. 

I jumped onto my bed and closed my eyes. I might not have done anything exhausting physically, but mentally I'm so tired. 

The cafeteria where I meet and talk to strangers; the class where the teacher keeps blabbering about the importance of the facility, all drain my brain power. 

I stayed lying on my stomach for some time before I sat back. As usual, the room is completely white. 

My theory is if by chance all the shadows between the objects and corners in this whole facility were to disappear we will be blind with white colour. Strange right?

The thing is, at that point, what our eyes will see is absolute white without any shapes to identify objects, corners, distances and places. 

It will be like being in a dark room where our eyes see only black. The difference is that in a blind white, we might see our body as opposed to complete darkness.

It's confusing, but it's the truth… or my own ultimate theory!!!

The science behind it is!..... How do I put it?

Imagine yourself in a football field size room. The interior where you are is completely white. The white in this case is absolutely white with no darker side from anywhere in the room. 

Assume that the source of light is mild but from everywhere in the room.

Your eyes will be able to see the end of the white room, due to the outline of shadows within the edges or angles of the room. 

Let say the white wall and the white floor meet and make an angle, the angle will have a shade of shadow.

That shade of shadow helps us see its shape and angle. But what happens if there is no shade of shadow?

We will be blind!!!

Look at it this way, the eyes see when the light hits an object and the object reflects the light. 

The reflected light will pass through the pupil and reach the retina and the information will be sent to the brain.

A person sees with his eyes through this method. 

What happens if the light is too much?

The light will overwhelm the sensory organ of the eyes and the brain will be incapable of deciphering the information.

It's similar in this case. The light from the wall is entering through the pupil and reaching the retina continuously.

And the edges or angle of the room are giving low light and the eye identifies the place with a bit of shadow due to it being at an angle.

What happens if there is no shadow in the angles? 

The eyes will perceive every light from everywhere, floor, walls, ceiling with the same intensity with no difference of colour. 

And that will blind you as the white will invade your mind making it hard to see the make out of the surrounding.

I shook my head to remove all the complicated thoughts and looked around the room. It was small but enough. 

A bed aligned with the wall, facing the wardrobe, and besides it a table and chair. 

There is fluorescent on the ceiling. 

I checked the toilet which contains a standard shower, and other important stuff. I removed my clothes and took a good bath.

After wearing a new set of white clothes from the wardrobe, I get curious about the screen I saw on the table in the cafeteria and the class. 

And I remember Mharoni said if they wished they could make the screen appear anywhere. 

I squat down looking at the floor before I tapped it three times; and wait for a second, I tapped five times; wait for a second, one tap only; wait for a second and tapped nine times. 

That is 3519 

This is tapping my serial number in a rhythm just like I did at the cafeteria.

Where I tapped, a screen appeared with a red highlighted sentence.

[WRONG USAGE OF FLOOR]

"What? I waited for the screen to disappear, and I tapped again. The same screen pops up, this time with a buzz.

I stood up and went to a wall and tapped with the frequency of my number 3519. 

[WRONG USAGE OF WALL]

So, maybe they did not set any instructions on this room. But my tapping did not stop there. 

I move from one side to another tapping. Even under the bed.

They always write, "Wrong usage of wall or floor." with a buzz!

I stand dusting away the non-existing dust. Then my head tilted and my eyes stared at the ceiling: the only place that I did not tap. 

But it was too high for me to reach. 

I grabbed my table and adjusted it on the bed, then I placed the chair on. I carefully stepped on it, until I balanced myself well. 

I raised my free hand and tapped on the ceiling.
