Ch4: Training

I soon reach the rural forest and 'huge' is what comes to my mind when I see the trees and vegetation present.

The rural forest is a forest located next to the royal capital of Crown, Azure. It is a huge forest with many big trees, and the air there is quite refreshing. They're some magic beast here but not any worth

noting.

I decided to use the rural forest for my training because I think not many people will notice or disturb me, so I can train easily.

After having reached the forest, I head to a spot under a tree and begin revising my training program.

My parents had given me the right to go out but only for 5hrs or so which is a lot for a small child like me for now, when I grow older I'll ask for more time. I decided that I'll divide my time as such;

1hr- physical training: 30 pushups, 50 squats and 500m or so run around the forest.

1hr- magic control training: here I‟ll learn how to control my mp, since I have huge mp I don't want to

lwaste it so I'll make sure to put every ounce of mp to good use.

3hr-magic training: I'll basically be training the elements that I have on hand, I can‟t create any complex skills since I don't yet have my grimoire, it'll be given to me when am 15 so yeah it's still far away but oh well, better prepare myself.

After revising my plans, I begin my training, I don't really need physical training but it's good to train my body too, it'll help to attract the ladies and it will come in handy if I wield a sword. 'Yeah a

katana like yami will be cool'. I clear my thoughts and go full into training mode.

In the first hour, I'm barely able to do the 50 pushups, I'm just a 4-year-old I can't kill myself. I was easy to do the squats and running in the forest sure wasn't easy with the entire beast around but I'm able to survive haha.

The next hour, I sit in a crossed-leg form and begin meditating on channeling my magic power. It wasn't easy but I can say I made some progress today. I can faintly feel the mana present in the surrounding area, with time I'll easily be able to do so.

With the remaining 3hrs, I begin to try releasing the magic attributes I unlock.

I stand before a tree and remember what my dad told me about magic.

-Flashback-

Dad was saying "Son, magic is very simple. It is simply the manifestation of your imagination by using magic power to control the mana present within one's body. Let's say you want to create a fireball, you just have to imagine it in your head, imagine fire being transformed into a ball then you believe and gather Mana so as to release it' he demonstrates it and I'm amazed "it's pretty simple if you get the hang of it" he says while

chuckling at seeing my surprised face.

-Flashback end-

I then enter my subconscious and imagine a flame turning into a fireball, after some time it comes into existence and I say while pointing my palm at the tree "Flama". I shoot the ball at the tree but it does little damage but it's still good I have good connection with the fire.

I do the same for my other elements until I reach light and darkness. Dad didn't elaborate much on it but for now I'll stick to something simple. I then stretch my palm and begin imagining a light being formed, I gather Mana into my hand and I mutter "Light" and immediately a bright light is formed, almost blinding me. I move on to darkness and here, I imagine a dark force covering me and immediately I say "black body" for a while nothing happens but then darkness surrounds me, after a while it calms down. I

realized it took the most mp compared to the other attributes.

After much trial and error, I realize that I have a high affinity with the light, darkness and lightening element, my affinity with the teleportation and fire element are not that bad but they cannot be compared with the other 3.

Noticing the time, I rush back home; I don't want to be scolded by my mom. While running I begin thinking of the events of today 'I have good affinity with those 3 elements, maybe I can form a contract with the light and darkness spirit. Not much info on them but with my affinity they will surely come out of hiding'. I tried many skills but I was barely able to recreate them, I'll really need better magic control and more mental power. I don't lack imagination, I have all my past knowledge I can't stop myself from laughing out loud. I arrive home soon and I see my mother is infuriated well I came a little bit late.

After an hour's worth of scolding, she grabs me into her embrace 'bruh you are suffocating me' is all I could think as I try hard to come out of her embrace, she soon leaves me and I head to my room after having eaten and spoken about my progress in magic today.

'Well if I keep this program, am sure by 15 when I get my grimoire, I'll be able to contract the light and dark spirit. Well I have only unlocked 5 of my current element so maybe by the time I unlock all of them, I'll have contracted high-level spirits. The future looks bright, am so gonna stand at the top'

thinking about the future. I then look at the ceiling in my room and fall asleep smiling due to the

progress I made today.
