Chapter 98: 98:Effect of Attunents
Raymond pushed his glasses up slightly.
"My topic today is on how mana influences the surroundings."
He clicked a remote, showing the first slide he prepared on the topic. In particular, showing a pie chart. With the majority of the pie chart dedicated to one thing.
"This pie chart shows the exact composition of ambient mana in the capital. But in general, this can be applied to nearly any other region with a high population density."
The majority was naturally, regular mana. Without any attunents whatsoever. Just pure, normal mana that could be used for anything.
The rest of the five percent however, consisted of different mana attunents.
The main ones being—fire, water, earth, wind.
The four elents were naturally the most common attunents. But there were also several other attunents that were very common in urban centers. That being electric, tal and light. Electric-attunent mana was used to power basically everything, tal-attunent mana made tal structures stronger and light-attunent mana helped make lights brighter.
Raymond’s original presentation was about the effects of these attunents on wildlife and flora and fauna.
But after his inspiration that day. Raymond ca to realize sothing. Sothing extrely important.
That was boring!
Who cares about how air conditioning worked by converting electric-attunent mana into ice-attunent? That was so unbelievably boring! Raymond would have never done this assignnt if Ellen hadn’t offered him ice cream.
Raymond couldn’t care less about it. But the rarer attunents? That was certainly interesting.
"In the ambient mana around us only 5.2% of it consists of attuned mana. But my presentation today, is about the 0.1% included in that 5.2%."
Cut to the next slide. Another pie chart showing the composition of the attuned mana. Highlighting the smallest section of said pie chart, a re sliver compared to the others.
"These attunents, are so extrely rare yet these specific mana attunents practically keep the world alive."
Gravity-attunent, making up an unbelievably small percentage but was responsible for the gravity that kept the world held together.
Life-attunent (that Lucy had) was responsible for making sure flora and fauna thrived. It was also hypothesized that the life-attunent could create life, but humanity on Terra didn’t have mana until three hundred years ago.
Naturally, Raymond was aware that it could create life of course. The World Tree had to frequently use the life-attunent to create elves.
"But, how many of these attunents are there?"
The whole class had its attention fixed on him, as the most talented person the world had ever seen. The expectations were high, but Raymond was naturally confident in eting all of them. Even Camila seed intrigued by his question.
"I created a list of four different attunents. Each of which I believe are fundantal forces to the world we live in.
Click. Next slide.
"The first two are the most known attunents. Gravity and life, gravity is an invisible force that pulls any two objects together. Keeping us anchored here on the world. Gravity has always existed, but the gravity-attunent makes it do so much more."
"The gravity-attunent behaves similarly to regular gravity. When an object has a lot of gravity-attunent mana, its forces of attraction grow stronger. Usually, it’s not enough to be noticeable. Which is why, with so help from my instructor. I created a spell which passively helps to absorb only gravity-attunent mana."
He didn’t actually ask instructor Sienna. She was an SS-ranker, how could he possibly ask her for help on such a simple thing?
But it was always useful to na drop her.
"The results were as expected, the weight increased linearly as the concentration of gravity-attunent mana increased. After a certain boundary. It started to increas exponentially. But that’s not all. What if, all gravity-attunent mana was removed from an object?"
Raymond’s presentation was supposed to only be ten minutes maximum, but the part about gravity-attunent already took up five minutes on its own.
Not that Camila seed to mind, seeing soone put so much effort into their work was amazingly refreshing. Like a cold cup of lemonade on a hot sumr day.
Detailed data, no stuttering while talking, using real proven facts and logic. Truly, a perfect textbook example.
She quietly reduced the grades for every other group that went already. She wasn’t going to give any points originally, but this was just too good to not reward points.
If any of the students heard this, they might have spat blood in anger. But what was done was done.
Your fault for not trying hard enough!
Finishing up the first half of his presentation about gravity and life attunent. Raymond grinned.
If he had just stopped there, it would have been a great presentation. But he wanted more, he wanted to make history here!
This wasn’t part of any plan or whatever, Raymond just wanted to do it!
"Finally, the last two attunents. They get ntioned quite a lot, but their existence has never been proven."
Next slide once again. This ti one singular word in bold for everyone to see clearly.
SPACETI
Camila leaned forward slightly, her posture straightening upwards.
Raymond could see his classmates all paying more attention now. Zachary, Thomas, Noelle and the others, their eyes locked in on him.
"Spaceti. The fundantal fabric of our reality. The intrinsic weave between space and ti. Where the dinsions of space and ti are linked together. The stage for all physical events."
Once again, although the system may have referred to his mana attunent as dinsion. Raymond wholly felt that the term space was much more suitable. The term dinsion likely only ca from the fact that Raymond could use it to dinsion hop. But otherwise, it was literally just space.
"Space. The where, I exist in this space. I can go up, down, left, right, back and forth. The positioning of everything is determined by space. But the space-attunent mana has never ever been discovered."
He paused, giving the classroom so ti to think before continuing.
"Ti. The when, the past, the present, and the future. All events that has and ever will occur lie within one of these three. Ti causes change in the world. Just like the space, ti-attunent mana has never been discovered ever."
"Until today of course."
Silence.
"Raymond. Do you understand what you are currently saying?"
Their teacher was the first to speak up, naturally. She asked Raymond whether or not he understood the gravity of his words. This wasn’t just so elentary level stuff, this was enough to alter the history and science of Terra permanently.
"Of course. I have the proof to back up my claims after all."
"...continue."
Even Camila was intrigued, motioning for him to continue.
"We know that space and ti have always been fundantally connected as spaceti. But why have we never ever managed to discover mana in either attunents? Mana always, always develops an attunent once reaching a certain level influenced by its surroundings. I refuse to believe that it does not exist, I believe it is far more likely to think that we have never discovered it instead."
He clicked onto the next slide. Showcasing a singular rift in the air. Pulsing in a purple colour.
"I’ll start with space. The first thing that ca to my mind was naturally the several spatial magic and Arts that already exist. Teleport, warp, spatial storages, enclosed spaces. The best thod to attract a certain type of mana is to use spells that attract said mana, that or absorb extrely large amounts of mana and then filter it out."
That was the reason why many battlefields were nigh unlivable, despite the party of heroes being active fifty plus years ago. Many historic places where clashes between extre high level powers were impossible to live in. Eternal Night Plains was the region where Caspian of the party of heroes and the Harbinger of Dark Days fought. Even till this day, the region remained perpetually in darkness. The black clouds littered with a few holes left behind by Caspian during their battle. The entire plains was probably the most darkness-attuned mana dense place on Terra.
"In order to attract space-attuned mana. I found a small realm, barely the size of our class hall right now. The thod is a bit crude, but I continuously sent in several objects with engravings to absorb and store as much mana as possible."
Raymond still needed to make a plausible reason for how he managed to discover both mana attunents after all. This was his best idea that he could think of, and it was theoretically feasible as well. But how could crossing between realms possibly be an easy feat?
Crossing between realms on Terra was like a mini version of Raymond crossing between Earth and Erde. Raymond may have been an Archmage, but he still had to cast several spells just to even survive the crossing!
"These engravings were designed to filter out any common attunents, leaving only the most unusual and rare ones. After this, I was left with several hundred different mana attunents which I slowly filtered out. Until I was left with only the ones that had been unidentified."
There was still loads of different unidentified attunents out there, it also got very confusing since so attunents might be the sa as others. Just in a different flavour.
"With so help from my instructor, who cast a spatial spell of the 6th circle. It was powerful enough to cause three of the mana attunents to be attracted to said spell. From there. It was quite easy."
He could feel Camila’s scrutinizing gaze on him. Ready to dissect his thods and logic. Although he could fully understand why.
Stuff like this should have been announced at conferences, coming from the mouths of humanity’s most brilliant minds. Not from so teenager still in the academy!
