Exploring the Dimension After Reincarnation: Academic

Fail to Show off

*drap!* *Drap!* *Drap!*

Sophia, Alex, and Noctis run through the dark night forest. Without proper lighting, they had trouble seeing the contours of the ground and hit the twigs several times, but still continued to run towards the source of the sound. It is very difficult and makes the body several times have scratches. However, Sophia and Noctis were able to instantly seal the damage to their bodies, while Alex's body had been trained to deal with minor injuries.

What was surprising was, why didn't Noctis and Sophia just float above the trees? The spirit body is basically the element they have, then the spirit ability is to control their element. That way, they could control their own body to make movements beyond human ability. They can float!

And then for Alex he was weird too. He had a contract with a fire element spirit, then why didn't he create a small fire point for illumination? A small fire point would not burn the forest and was not difficult to create. At least he could see the streets more clearly and minimize the possibility of him crashing into tree branches and receiving scratches.

The three of them are very strange. Regardless of what possessed them, they acted extremely foolish and careless. Elena will laugh seeing this. Their mode of mobility is not high and complicates their movement. Are the three of them making tutorials difficult to live in a time when politics and economics are already difficult? Indeed, people who choose the difficult path when there are much easier and do not harm others are people who lack work.

After several minutes of colliding, scraping, and misdirection many times due to tree branches, the three of them finally arrived at an open field. Actually, the land is not open, anyway. But, the trees there have been destroyed leaving the base that is still embedded in the ground using its roots. The ground contour was filled with traces of claw slashes as deep as a few centimeters. It has caused bleeding if it hits the human body.

“It...!” Alex gaped at the creature in front of him.

The creature looked like a wolf, but its body was several times larger and it was as if it had been exposed to rabies, its actions were insane and anarchic by destroying everything around it. The trees collapsed and this chaotic land was caused by him. The first time they saw this wolf, the giant wolf had the status of “suspect” as the individual who destroyed all of this.

“Monster, huh? He is a monster of a wolf. Monsters from herbivorous animals alone were already troublesome due to their inflated bodies. Carnivorous monsters will be even more troublesome with their instincts as hunters.” Sophia stared flatly at the creature before her. “Luckily he's just a wolf. It is not animals that have poison. I can definitely beat him.”

The spirit world has a natural energy that makes all the creatures in there can use that energy to create various magical phenomena. Animals are not the exception of creatures that can use natural energy, but there are other risks when using natural energy. Natural energy requires high control or its user will lose his sanity due to the natural energy raging within him.

Humans have a mind and mind that makes their natural control good enough. At least they would not turn into monsters unless they were in certain conditions. But for animals that do not have much intelligence, they are prone to turn into monsters when receiving too much natural energy. Estimating the requirements in using natural energy, it is somehow as if humans are helped to survive by this world.

Humans become the most suitable creatures to use natural energy, while animals have a high risk of experiencing madness when using it. Isn't this proof that the world is too supportive of human existence and less concerned about other types? But men use their power to make mischief on the face of the earth on the basis of greed and satisfying their ambitions. They even sacrificed their kind for their cause.

“Weak creatures! I will finish him off in one strike!” Noctis snorted arrogantly and advanced a few steps ahead of them.

“Woah. I want to see, how the Master will face that wild Monster.” Sophia flat praise.

If only he looked more excited, then this would clearly make him sound like a compliment. But that speech combined with Sophia's flat tone of speech, it made her sound as an allusion. And badly, Noctis took it as a satire. He assumed that Sophia underestimated him and thought that she would not be able to injure the wolf monster in front of them.

Ignoring Sophia's praise which he considered to be innuendo, Noctis continued to step up with a sinister cold aura enveloping him. Dark clouds covered above them, making their current location even darker. Dark octopus.

“Wolf..., don't blame me because you're going to die today. Blame it on your bad luck that made you turn into this because of “Gila” Snail disease. If you're afraid just calm down, I'll end this as soon as possible and make you not feel too much pain. It was my only kindness to you.” Noctis swung his hand, intending to control the shadow behind his clothes to make a sword. Later then….

Nothing happened.

Noctis swung his hand a few times, but he could not control the shadow to create the shadow sword. He also could not use all the other attacks related to the shadow technique he could not use. He began to feel awkward because he had previously been acting cool in front of the two of them, but this action even ended in failure to make an attack.

“Noctis-sensei, what are you doing? Quickly create shadow sword, then swing, slash, and jleb, ‘gitu. What do you do by not creating shadows? Isn't that your specialty?” sophia asked a few meters behind Noctis.

Noctis looked back at Sophia, and said, “Oh, um. I can control shadows as two-dimensional objects and often manifest them as weapons. The problem now is, tonight is too dark that causes shadows not to form. Because there is no shadow, I cannot control the shadow. The alternate path I could control the third dimension was like I did when I went to another world, but it was very wasteful.”

“...” Alex and Sophia fell silent not knowing what to respond to. If they laughed, this person was still stronger than them. But in others, only this time they feel if Noctis is useless. Indeed, the fact is Noctis is not an Almighty being. His strength was still limited, it was just that this limit was far above the other creatures.

The wolf monsters realized their arrival. Snarling, he looked at Noctis with his fiery reddish-colored eyes on his eyeballs. His saliva dripped from his mouth and soaked the ground beneath him and gave rise to a growling sound. His attention was immediately drawn to Noctis as the person closest to him in terms of position.
