Training arc... is not limited to one chapter... most of the time

So... since improving physically is currently out of bounds and I am limited in honing my techniques. If I had to push on what I am going to do.

My first agenda is what I can currently do with my blade?

[Fool's blade] demonstrates "cutting" relative to my will. Means as long as I want something to be "cut", the blade will be able to cut that thing. This only a theory by the way, since I still don't have enough information to support that claim. My blade never encountered any being that it hasn't cut yet.

To make it easy, I will use the inspiration of the blade to see if I can do the same with this blade.

Y*m*t* can cut space, enabling the user to use portals to leap through space(?)

I never knew if that was actual mechanics, but I guess it does not really matter.

But the key here is "cutting space" can equate to "teleportation".

So I test the idea.

I unsheathe the blade and slice through the air.

Nothing happened???

I tried again just to make sure. Nope. Nothing happened.

Did I really cut space?

So I used my [Fool's eye] to "see" space.

I suddenly saw nothing... then I remember that "space" is the absence of something "occupying" it.

Or the unit of available area or maybe even the total area specified.

So I am approaching things the wrong way, then I switched back my vision to see like a human would, then gather the relative information to test my theory.

So I imagine the "distance" between "me" and another empty "spot" away from me.

Then I swung my blade to do a cutting motion, then image the "distance" between "me" and that "spot" be cut.

Nothing happened...

No there is something, so I repeated the process and felt that I indeed cut something.

But why did nothing happened?

Thinking really hard (which is I think is rare for me) made me really frustrated that I was to waste me energy to satisfy my frustration. But I remember that wasting energy leads to hunger and hunger means infinite loop to death. That is when I got my eureka moment.

I cut the "distance" between "me" and the empty "spot" away from me... but where did the "separated distance" go?

Naturally, abundance (excess distance) flows towards absence (area where the removed distance came from). So after I cut the "distance" between me and the empty spot, before I even moved from my position, the removed distance returns naturally back to where it came from, since there is nowhere the removed distance will go to.

The distance was cut, but I don't move since the separated distance falls back again, negating the displacement.

Then I once again changed my approach.

But how do I approach it? Do I really have to postpone and move on to other abilities?

-other abilities...?

I thought back to the [Fool's container], since I first created it to contain the [Fool's blade] since it maybe possible to cut myself-

[You died. Macro save point detected. Load save point?]

Right... the image of "cutting myself" killed me... I think I have to take a rest for a while to remove that image, so that I don't accidentally kill myself again.

After a while of waiting and finally loading, I tried to stable myself and prepare to test my theory.

Gripping both the blade(at its handle) and the sheath(near the opening) to create a stable image, I swung my blade through the air to repeat the previous process. But this time, after the feedback of cutting "something", I follow an image of storing the separated distance to my [Fool's container].

Then-

[You died. Macro save point detected. Load save point?]

I loaded to see what happened, then saw a splatter of blood just in front of me and the empty spot where I want to be. What?

The image is so bloody but... well, I've seen worse and experienced worse that does not even faze me anymore. But the question now... what happened?

I released the "separated distance" from the sheath(Fool's container), to prevent any mistakes and pondered where did I go wrong.

Or maybe the process is lacking?

I took a nearby shade to take a rest and consider what are the things I am going to test, since the mental fatigue I catching up to me.
