Jason-025 had been one of the ‘no-essence use’ group from the beginning, though now they were all avoiding it. Wilson had wanted to extend the experiment longer so he could get better data, but the trailblazers had nixed that in favor of experiencing it themselves and poking around…which was now giving them more insight thanks to Wilson’s initial epiphany.

It came down to a matter of exhaustion. Mild exhaustion. But even a slight disadvantage would have consequences if you were unaware of it, and as Jason darted from one ring to another in a new obstacle course set up only 2 weeks ago, he could feel himself adapting to it mentally and physically rather than trying to make the course fit into his existing strengths.

It was a subtle thing. A little bit of perspective that had been missing, but now that he knew to look for something it was blaring loudly. He needed his Essence, and while using it and allowing it to recharge gave him some truly immense combat power, that power came at a cost.

And that cost was mojo.

He’d been discussing it with the others, and not one of them could cite a time when they had gone without Essence use for a period of no less than 2 weeks. Not one of them. Through thousands and thousands of years. They all kept draining it, even when they didn’t have a need to, in order to gradually increase their well size.

That was logical, but because they were relentless in their training and didn’t have the lapses lesser people would, they hadn’t been able to compare the two states…because they were never in the ‘no-use’ state.

And what was missing most of all was fun. Not something that could be analyzed or measured, but everything Jason did now had a bit of swagger that he hadn’t had before. That little bit of life that had been missing was back, and the pointlessness of the continual carnage in the universe was gone. Not because of any new reasoning, but rather because of a feeling.

A feeling that he was where he needed to be, doing what he needed, and as long as he had that he didn’t need to understand the universe to do his part in it.

His part. His path. Those had been numbed up from the Essence depletion as much as being 6 hours deep into a 10 hour training session. You knew you weren’t at full strength, but that didn’t matter. You had an objective to go for and you focused your attention and remaining strength on going for it. Afterwards you would rest and recover, clearing your fogged up senses, but this never-ending Essence use workout had kept them fogged up perpetually, and not one of them had figured it out.

Paul had sensed something, maybe because he wasn’t Saiyan 2 and could slow down a bit more to think. Yet right now Jason was quite active, his hair blonde, and his cells strained
