A 4 dimensional entity

Chapter 6

I woke up to the sound of birds chirping, although they could also potentially be giant ants. In this world, the possiblities are endless. The first thing i took notice was the giant crater and the lack of what is supposed to be the dragon's corpse. It seems that it had somehow survived our fight. How naive of me to think that i could beat it to death with my bare fists.

When i returned to city, i heard news that 2 cities were destroyed overnight along with settlements and villages across the nation. Everyone says that it could be an impending sign of monster waves coming to attack. According to what some survivors said in an interview, a jet-black lizard like creature attacked them, its wings span across a whole village. Experts suspect that it may be a type of dragon but it still remains a mystery.

A creature that destroyed 2 cities is no joking matter and it will be carefully monitored by the other nations and cities of its movements.

I knew what it was, that accursed dragon had took the lives of my friend and went for many others, the pain was immaculate for i felt a sense of guilt wash over me as i knew that if i had manage to defeat that dragon, none of these people would have to suffer. Their blood was on my hands, and i hated it. I hated myself for being weak, for being naive, for believing i could take that foul beast down with brute force. If i had managed my "neutralisation" technique, could things have turned out better? There was no telling

I never actually successfully converge my technique, so if theres any limitations, i would not know until i successfully converge it, but from all the theory classes I've taken and my own personal theory, i believe there is no limitations to this technique.

The next few days i spent practicing my technique with a heavy heart, knowing that all those innocent people's blood was on my hands waivered my determination and hindered the progress to mastering my technique of "neutralisation".

With the upcoming tournament exams and the theory exams, i was getting more and more busy studying and didn't have time to practice my technique, everything was going badly. I was not even allowed to leave the city and into the wilderness due to the black dragon still looming around. It was frustrating in general, so many things happening at once along with the guilt of causing those loss of lives, i was on the verge of an all out mental breakdown, the guilt was too heavy for me carry.
