Chapter 119: Answers And New İnformation.

In the previous episode, Blake's relationship with Rei seemed a bit rushed. If so, sorry for that. I copy-pasted that part from my previous book and I don't want to change it.

-------------------------

Blake, the girls, and Eri continued their day. Since today is Fuyumi's birthday, they especially took care to do things that Fuyumi likes.

They put on a tea party, watched movies, and even did the new season of Award-Winning Twister. The girls gave the lead to Eri, who played the Award Winning Twister for the first time, and also did their best to get the birthday girl Fuyumi to win.

At the end of the day, Eri was granted a wish from everyone, while Fuyumi was granted a passionate kiss from Blake. The two quickly went to the bedroom and kissed for exactly 30 minutes.

Blake and the girls had the day and it was night. Blake headed to the bedroom with the girls.

Teka had gone to her company to take the opportunity that Blake had given her. She would probably spend the whole night there, but Blake didn't think things would take long.

"Half a day… no, she'll be done in a few hours and she'll be back." Blake took the girls in his arms and closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes the next moment, he found himself in pure white space. Although not as white as his lightning, it had a distinctive color.

Blake turned his head to the side, the lonely beauty right beside him, staring intently at him as she had expected. She had her hands clasped on her hips, watching him as if he were a precious vase. Her gaze, full of loneliness and desolation, had gained some emotion.

"Hello, Shishou."

"Hello, Hanbun-deshi."

Blake called her in a strange way of addressing her. He didn't know the woman's name, and no matter how much he asked, Scathach wouldn't tell him her name. Ultimately, Blake had to address her somehow, and he began to address her with the word "Shishou" meaning Teacher.

Blake remembered the successful smile she had the first time he had called her "Shisho."

But Blake had no problem with that. He was slowly starting to see Scathach as a true teacher, it was very doubtful at first that she would want him as her student, but over time her care for his development made Blake slowly accept her.

Scathach was an accomplished teacher, explaining the new things she taught him in as simple and effective a way as possible. She even taught visually by creating realistic objects in the white world they were in during his lectures. In this way, she could easily teach Blake a lot of things he did not know.

She wasn't just giving him information to improve, she was showing him battle tactics for his survival, giving him advice on daily life, and giving him useful information. It could be said that she cared much more about Blake and Blake's life than he did.

Scathach had lived alone for thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years. It had been tens of thousands of years since she had done anything that might interest her, let alone the last student she had tutored, and paying attention to Blake, thinking about his needs, was a new excitement that brought into her life.

Their relationship was a win-win situation.

"Let's continue with our routine. Since you can talk while doing this, you can ask me any questions you want to know, Hanbun-deshi."

Blake nodded at her words and sat cross-legged on the floor. Scathach got behind Blake, her beautiful eyes fixed on his back. The clothing in her vision was gone, and his skin was gone, leaving the flesh, muscle, and bone, gradually the energy sphere at the center of Blake's body.

"Get started." This was both a prelude to his workouts and the beginning of Blake asking questions that had plagued his mind for years.

Blake focused on speed power, as they always do, before asking questions. From the lightning ball in the center of his body, a piece of bright, elegant white lightning was reaching into his heart. Lightning between the sphere in the center of his body and his heart was sizzling every second, lightning arcs bursting from the lightning rope and spreading throughout his body.

Blake focused the lightning thread and guided it from his controlling heart to his brain.

What was Blake doing? Blake had struggled for a while to achieve his goal of making his body vibrate, for days, weeks, and months, but he hadn't been able to reach his goal. Unable to reach his goal, Blake put the matter aside in his mind as he did with his speed and focused on a completely different technique/skill while working on them. He was currently struggling to complete this ability.

Enhanced Brain Activity.

This was the technique Blake worked on with Scathach.

Blake's body slowly ceased to be human. His cells, blood flow, heartbeat, speed, and much more were evolving into a greater existence led by the speed force.

Body regeneration, perceptions, reaction speed, reflexes, balance, agility, his lightning-structured body… each part of him was slowly changing, but one thing remained the same.

Brain.

His brain was still within human limits. Even though he could process reactions and things like that quickly, things like mindset, processing information, information capacity, memory, thinking power, and speed of thought were still human standards and this was causing problems for Blake.

In most fights, he was able to react promptly thanks to his speed, but he had some problems in processing and reacting to information. For example, if he could react faster to Rei's explosion today, even a small piece of ice wouldn't be able to hit him.

Not only that, according to what he learned from Scathach, if the process they did was successful, it would not be a problem for him to learn and process all the information in the world, and he would be able to produce information that could take humanity through the ages if he wanted to. Maybe there could be more, but since he is not a Speedster, he did not know its full capacity.

These experiments intrigued not only Blake but also Scathach. She was even starting to make a plan to catch a few speedsters and get herself a speed force. Blake's desire to develop abilities was the birthplace of Scathach, the Speedster Hunter who would become one of the Speedsters' greatest foes. [EN: An F for Speedsters]

Back to the topic, what Blake and Scathach did was create a channel from the speed power in Blake's body and connect it to the brain. In this way, his brain would evolve and he would be able to reach what was said above.

Which was not that easy. Although using the speed power was easier for him than using a limb, it was not so easy to move the speed power inside his body. Despite struggling with Scathach all night, they were only able to form a channel from the center of his body to his heart. [EN: Not like the ones in Wuxia, his body center above his navel. Just go with that for now.]

His heart was beating faster than other people, thanks to the fact that he moved the velocity channel to his heart. Thanks to this, his complexion was healthier and his skin brighter. His cells were more saturated and energized, Blake even though his lifespan was getting longer.

His goal today was to get the power of speed under his throat. Tomorrow night they will carry it on his head.

"Let me explain everything from the beginning." In the middle of the white field, Blake closed his eyes and focused on the speed and power in the center of his body. He took a deep breath and began to speak.

"Speed ​​power, I don't know if that's the exact name so I gave it that name, it was a power that was in a comic book called The Flash in my previous life. But before I had a chance to learn anything about this power, I died and migrated to this world." Eyes closed, Blake took a breath before continuing.

Scathach was listening without interrupting Blake's words. Her gaze was still on Blake's speed power just in case there was a problem, but most of her attention was on Blake's speech.

"Even though I knew nothing about speed power, I did everything to improve it. At first, my speed was increasing steadily, but once I reached Mach 1, my speed stopped increasing. I thought it was because I had reached my starting potential, during the five years I've been here I've been trying non-stop to increase my speed, but for some unknown reason, my speed doesn't increase anymore."

"At first, I didn't care about that and focused on my lightning trait and other abilities I could gain. However, the speed of my congener that I encountered the other day can increase by itself, for the first time I thought that there was a problem with my strength. What do you think is wrong with me, Shisho?" Blake stopped what he was doing and looked over his shoulder at Scathach.

With a faint smile, Scathach pressed a finger to Blake's cheek and, applying light force, turned his head forward.

"What is Speed Power?... Hmm... This is a pretty broad question, it doesn't have a simple explanation. The real name is "Speed ​​force", which represents speed. It also represents kinetic energy, temporal energy, time, and many more. In short, its mobility in the universe is a representation of reality in motion.[EN: I'll give you some information here so you don't get confused. From now on, "Speed ​​Force" will be the name given to the power center, and "Speed ​​Power" will be the power that Speedsters have.]

[EN2:Also, since Blake's power is completely different from Speed ​​Force, I'll call his strength and powers similar to his Speed ​​Power. That's why I called it Speed ​​power from the start. Sorry for explaining it so late.]

Scathach's words hit Blake's head like a hammer. His breathing involuntarily quickened. Was his power such a big thing? Yes, Blake was able to understand that what he possessed represented "speed" from being able to use momentum, make impossible turns while ignoring acceleration, and use vibration.

He was also able to cross dimensions with his speed but didn't think he could control time, time energy, and derivatives and represent reality in motion in the universe.

It was like the kitten you trained from infancy and thought to be pure-blooded turned out to be a tiger cub. It was very surprising and tickled one's excitement.

"Fuu… Well, that's big, but I was guessing something close to that." Blake was quickly torn by surprise, straightening his back and regaining his composure.

Glancing Blake over the top of his head, Scathach nodded appreciatively when she saw his student gather quickly. She pulled back a finger poking his cheek and brushed his hair lightly.

"Let's continue." Scathach reached over Blake's shoulder and snapped his fingers.

Snap!

With a small voice, the field began to change. A smooth sphere the size of a human head appeared in the untouched pure white space before Blake's eyes. The globe was floating steadily in the air.

"Let's call this orb the speed force, the source of your power." Scathach snapped her fingers again, and dozens of tiny human figures appeared next to the orb. The figures had no face, mouth, or nose, they were human figures without any parts. The little figures stood randomly around the globe at different angles.

'These are you and your congeneric, 'Speedsters' ''

"Speed ​​Force randomly selects speedsters. Maybe there is a certain logic behind its choices, but I don't know anything about it. Each speedster is chosen in different ways, at different times and experiencing different things."

With Scathach's words, dozens of arms began to emerge from the sphere representing the Speed ​​Force. Each arm was attached to a speedster, and the speedsters attached to the arms glowed faintly.

"But your case is completely different from theirs." Blake continued to hear the woman's voice in his ears, and Scathach waved her hand lightly at Blake. One of the human figures came in front of him.

An arm protruding from the orb floated through the air and aimed at the human figure in front of Blake. It stopped when ıt got on top of his head.

"In the case of a normal speedster, the speed force will connect to it after selecting it and passively power it. The person's speed increases over time, and his connection with the Speed ​​force develops. But…" Scathach's enchanting voice caressed Blake's ears. Sitting cross-legged, she put her chin on Blake's head, leaned her body against his back, and continued her speech.

"But in your case things are different. You died and your soul was drawn into this universe while the speed force was about to choose you and bind to you. That's still okay, if you had appeared on the other side of the "Border" in the Golden World, the speed force could have followed you, but on this side of the "Border", the rules are completely different. The speed force cannot follow you."

The arm protruding from the orb was attached to the Blake figure, but the bond was cut by an unknown force. The Blake figure, the "half-speedster" began to glow faintly, but its brilliance was paler than its counterparts and would never be as bright as theirs.

"So that's why my speed isn't increasing because I've been cut off from whatever was going to increase my speed…" Blake put his hand on his chin, staring at his representative figure. Everything made more sense now.

''True. The reason why your speed increased when you first came to the world...''

"I reached the limit of the potential of the energy that remained within me before I was disconnected."

''That's also true. If you want to increase your speed from now on, you must somehow reconnect with the speed force, or be chosen by it, or absorb other speed force." Scathach extended her arm forward, flicking her finger slightly.

One of the representative speedsters landed in front of the representative Blake figure and fell to the ground. Standing still, indicating that it was dead, the Blake figure reached out his hand and grasped the speed force connection within him, popping it into his mouth.

Crackle!

Lightning flashed as the small figure in front of Blake and Scathach, absorbed the speed force, and a small shockwave caused the two of their hair to be blown back. Two solemn and unyielding figures continued to watch the little figure's changes.

When the representative Blake absorbed the speed force of the deceased speedster, a small lever came out of the Speed Force. However, the arm disappeared before it could go further.

But representative Blake looked brighter. It was still dimmer than its counterparts, but there was a noticeable difference in brightness.

"So that's what happened that day." Blake nodded in understanding. What Scathach had just shown was what he experienced before traveling across dimensions to the world of the Demon Slayer.

'Yes, that's what you experienced that day. The speed-power you assimilated tried to make a connection between you and the speed force, but the connection between you was forcibly broken long ago." Scathach turned her hand and gestured with her index finger to come to the representative Blake figure.

The Blake figure took off and landed in front of Scathach. Scathach slammed her finger in his stomach, the Blake figure falling into the real Blake's hair. Scathach pressed a finger to his stomach, and with a small smile began to play with the Blake figure. Faced with the mighty foe, the figure of Blake waved his hands and arms to escape, but in vain, a grim defeat awaited him.

Blake was lost in thought, ignoring the two fighting in his head. Minutes chased each other. Blake gathered his thoughts amid the "pitiful Blake figure noises" and asked the next question that was on his mind.

"Two more people in my world have speed power, and I also got speed power from a strange creature. But each one was completely different. The first speed power I got had little intelligence, while the second was passive. Also from the first..." As Blake watched ahead, he explained to Scathach the feelings he felt from Denki and Midoriya's speed power.''

The emotions Blake felt from Midoriya and Denki's speed powers were very strange. It was as if he was begging an existence greater than himself to free him from bondage. When he finally absorbed ıt, he had felt the sensations of someone returning home after a long time, from Denki's speed power.

Scathach waited for her student to finish. She was determined to satisfy Blake's hunger for knowledge. When Blake said his last word, she spoke.

"Speed ​​force is an existence with intelligence. Even though its connection with you has been severed, the part of it that remains within has managed to inherit its intelligence. Unlike those "Ripped" ones, the speed power within you has its intelligence. It's sort of like a cousin or a sibling to the main speed force, and those Ripped have nothing to want but to unite with you." [EN: I don't know if the word "Ripped" conveyed what I meant. The adjective here is those who were forcibly ripped from the Speed ​​Force. If there is a word that expresses it better than this, please write it.]

'Ripped, huh. There is so much more I need to know."

"The night is long, Hanbun-deshi. Ask me a question and I'll answer it." Scathach pressed her hands into Blake's hair and rested her chin. She closed her eyes, putting on the happiest smile she'd ever had as she nodded happily.

Blake kept asking questions throughout the night, as Scathach said she had answered every single one of them down to the smallest detail, and thanks to her, Blake had learned a little bit about the Golden World and his power.

The boundary Scathach spoke of was a huge wall separating the world she came from and its species from the world of My Hero Academia where Blake was located, and its species. There was no end to the wall's width and length, and with all her strength, Scathach could only pierce it.

The task of the border was to separate the two sides, so as not to drag the two sides into a mess due to the differences between the two sides. When Blake asked why it was doing this, he got no answer. Scathach looked at him over the top of his head, pressed a finger to his forehead, and said that everything was in order.

The word "Ripped" surprised Blake even more.

According to Scathach, the Golden World would fight a war when each of the world's cycles ended. Wars would be between Universe representatives, and those who fought were fought between characters and reincarnators in the Universe representative's world.

The universe representatives who won the war received rewards that made their mouths water, while the reincarnators received rewards from a second trick, improvement of their tricks, and more.

She said that Lilith had won a few of these competitions, and the result was two "speed power" pieces. These parts of speed power were brought from the other side of the "Border", stripped of the speed force. That's why Scathach called them "Ripped".

The difference between the 'Ripped' ones from Blake's speed power was that they were too diluted. While Blake's was like siblings to the speed force, they contained little power like repeatedly distilled alcohol.

Well, after all, speed force wasn't a charity that would randomly scatter speed force around. Even that, according to Scathach, those in the Golden World had worked very hard to get it.

Finally, the most important information of the day was the reason behind Blake's ability to cross the dimensions to the world of "Demon Slayer".

This had always confused Blake. Why had he crossed dimensions? Yes, he had the power to cross dimensions, but its Mach 3 speed was too weak to do so. There had to be another reason behind it.

And he got a satisfactory answer.

According to Scathach, apart from the Harem King and the filthy man in the world, The Five were all fugitives. They were hunted not only for Scathach but also by the Golden World.

For Scathach, they had tried to take her spear by force. There was no way someone like Scathach would give them her spear just because they wanted to, and they did fight in the end.

At the end of their battle, they had no choice but to flee helplessly with their tails tucked into their legs. Scathach had thrown her spear behind them to chase them.

If they were alone, nothing would have happened, and Blake would have stayed in the world. But the power of the spear that Scathach hurled from behind them was nothing this side of the Border could handle, and had shattered space-time and made it pliable like pasta.

When the Speedsters used their power, the molecules vibrated and the speed force gave them the power to jump through space-time as long as they had enough speed. In Blake's case, the force of space-time, fragile as a wet piece of paper, could not withstand Blake's powerless intervention and shattered, giving way to him.

That was the secret behind Blake's run between dimensions.

The night's sleep went on like this, and Blake learned a lot. He also brought the speed power lightning under his chin. His hunger had increased, and the air he inhaled had become of better quality.

Blake had accomplished his goal today, he was intent on finishing it tomorrow.
