After the talk with my family, I started my actual training.
The years I spent in astral form weren't for nothing. I had read countless amount of books, and papers, I had seen numerous training sessions, and I had devised my own training plan. A plan that will improve me in all areas, allowing me to be a perfect fighter in every situation.
Since I am a pure magical being, not like the reincarnated devils, I don't require much physical exercise. I mean I can do it but the effects are going to be negligible.
'Now I'm going to explain my training plan and why I'm doing it right now so you fuckers don't start questioning me every turn.'
Now, as I'm a being of magic, everything in my body from my limbs to cells is made from magic. We are basically a different species, with magic being are building blocks, while you humans have amino acids.
So to become stronger, physically, I just need to increase the concentration of magic in each of my cells. This usually happens with Devils as they grow old because the cells are constantly soaked in magic, little by little making them stronger. But this can be accelerated with training. This usually kills two birds with one stone, as you are both increasing your physical strength and also increasing your magic quantity little by little, but you can also kill the third bird if you can guide the magic inside your body, essentially increasing your control over magic.
This information is not known by many members of the Devils Society, as Devils don't usually pay much attention to physical strength. Call it what you want, pride in their magic or stupidity. I personally call it stupidity. And most of this information is held by the High-Class Devils and above as they are just like a bunch of greedy politicians looking out for their own benefit.
Though this information seems like anyone with a little time may find out you need to understand something, Devils are a legendarily fucking lazy race, especially after the end of wars.
They stropped training and improving becoming weak in the end. It's as told, Good times create weak men.
But this isn't the case with the Shadow Clan. The Shadow Clan is stronger than the rest of the devil race, each individual of the clan (from children to adults, from civilians to generals) is trained regularly for 100 years after 20, in everything, like fighting styles, literature, battle tactics, science, history, literally everything. After this, they can pick up the role they want to play in the clan according to their wishes. This creates both stronger and smarter devils, which then on creates a better society.
Anyway, as I was saying I need to increase the concentration of magic in my cells, which would then cause the evolution of my cells, making them better than before. Making me stronger. The training will be like those cultivators in the Chinese Pantheon, but unlike them, mine will be faster and will give me a better result.
However, even if I have the plan, implementing it is a whole different matter, especially because of my unique powers. Specifically, my demonic and angelic.
The magic in my cells needs to be of a perfect ratio of 1:1, angelic and demonic, if it isn't, then one will consume the other, starting a chain reaction that will cause my body to be torn apart from inside out. Like tearing a piece of clothing but just with a lot more blood and organs. So while circulating my magic I need to keep the ratio of angelic and demonic the same, otherwise, I will be creating bloody art.
I will be starting from my bone marrow, moving on to blood, then organs and nervous system, muscles, and finishing off with the skin. The process will start slowly but as I get the hang of the ratio and circulation it will become faster. The pain will be a bitch but nothing can be done about it. No Pain, No Gain.
My closest estimate of finishing the whole process is around 6 to 7 days. After which I will train, get used to the new strength, and then get right back to another Magic Cultivation session.
I will keep doing this until I hit the fully saturated stage, which will be until the quantity and quality in my cells reaches my own magic level, which is currently at Super-Devil Level and will keep on increasing. This will take time but not much, as my magic's quality is the best in the world because of my third power. So I don't have to worry about purifying my magic. All I have to worry about is my quantity.
I also have to keep learning and practicing new spells, of both angelic and demonic nature. The angelic will have both light and holy energy manipulation, with Grandpa Met's Star Flame. I don't have to search for books to learn the angelic powers, as Grandpa Met foresaw it and has already stored books on it in the library.
The demonic will have both dark and demonic energy manipulation, with Gramp's (Skygge) Domain over Shadow. The books about the demonic powers are ample and I also have the knowledge from other families too.
Also, Grandma will be training me in spells and other magic natures, like lightning, water, earth, air, and more.
'These will be the most brutal and crucial 2 years of my life.'
