*1 Month Later*
Tozuki was sitting in his wheelchair, he was being wheeled through the city by Kanjiro.
Kanjiro: Are you sure he's really the genius you tell me he is?
Tozuki: Trust me, I've seen his works with my own two eyes, he knows his stuff.
Kanjiro: Heh, right.
The duo arrived in front of a run down building, they could barely make out the words 'Mechanic Mikey'. Kanjiro wheeled Tozuki in, they walked to behind a pillar and Kanjiro pushed a hidden button which dropped an elevator down behind them. They got in the elevator as it pulled them up to a higher floor, they got off the elevator and entered a room to see all kinds of potions and machines.
Tozuki: Mikeyyyy
Mikey: One Second!
The two heard a few clinks and clanks and a loud bang as a teenager with black hair and blue eyes walked out from a closet.
Mikey: They're ready, I made it with the materials you asked so they should be combat ready.
Tozuki: Great, I knew I could rely on you.
Mikey opened up a drawer and pulled out a dark gray mechanical arm, the palm had a opening in it and the shoulder had a large hole to connect to someone's torso. Mikey also pulled out a mechanical leg, it was the same color as the mechanical arm but it looked to be made with different materials.
Mikey: Should I put them on you or will you try it out later?
Tozuki: I'll try it out later and thanks again, I'll wire the payment to your acco-
Mikey: No, it's fine. I owe you more than just my life, this is the least I could do.
Tozuki: Are you sure?
Mikey: Yes, it's fine.
Tozuki: Thank you very much, we'll be on our way then.
*Kusanagi Forest An Hour Later*
Tozuki attached the mechanical arm and the mechanical leg, he stood up and began to test moving his arm and legs and eventually got the gist of it.
Tozuki: So, how about a friendly match?
Kanjiro: You're on!
Kanjiro summoned his Katana and sliced at Tozuki, he grabbed the katana with his real arm and knocked it back. Kanjiro reached for it but left an opening and Tozuki struck his stomach with his mechanical arm, sending him into a tree.
Tozuki: Show me some more of your power!
Kanjiro: Well you asked for it!
Kanjiro: Copy Target: Locked On. Energy come onto me: Imperfect Kinetic
Kanjiro's hair turned a bronze color, his eyes turned silver along with a silver aura.
Tozuki: Interesting, how are you able to copy that so easily?
Kanjiro: What a dumb question, I'm just built different.
Tozuki strained his eyes as his pupils turned golden, Kanjiro sliced at Tozuki many times but he managed to dodge every attack, taking small opening to land attacks on Kanjiro.
Tozuki: Alright, no more holding back. I hope you won't hold back either.
Kanjiro: Of course not.
Tozuki summoned a black Long-Sword with a red eye embedded in the hilt and had a demonic aura.
Kanjiro: Is that the weapon the dragon had? I thought M.A.D claimed it.
Tozuki: Don't you worry about that, ok?
Kanjiro: Oh high one's bless me, GRAMR!
Tozuki and Kanjiro clashed blades, Tozuki's eyes suddenly closed for a split second and he was cut on his real shoulder.
Tozuki In Head: What the hell? Are my eye's dry? I guess I'll have to stop using it.
Tozuki: Alright...the more power I use the harder it is to control so if I lower it...
Tozuki was surrounded in a silver aura, along with his hair and eyes becoming silver.
Tozuki: Imperfect Kinetic!
Tozuki dropped the sword, when it reached the ground Tozuki had his hand again Kanjiro's chest, a sudden glow appeared as he shot a beam of Maho from his hand. Tozuki followed up with a kick into the air, Tozuki jumped into the air but his body suddenly went limp as he fell to the ground.
Tozuki: Gah! I haven't used it in so long I guess my body isn't used to it
Kanjiro: By the way, what is your ability anyway? I copied it but I don't really know what it does
Tozuki: To simplify, the more damage I take the more damage I can output, and once I've reached a certain threshold I can use that transformation, however I've never been able to master it
Kanjiro: Is the boost permanent?
Tozuki: No, sadly. Otherwise I would be the #1 World Ranker, I can only story damage for 10 hours
Kanjiro: Well it'd be best for you to get some rest, so let's go back to the campus
*Back In Tozuki's Room*
Tozuki sat on his bed cross-legged, he put on the red wristband with black stripes as a green orb appeared around him, sending him to his mindscape.
Tozuki: Time zone: 20x
The room was the same as last time, a large stone room lit by torches on the walls.
Tozuki: Hm, who should I try fighting? Maybe Diavolo, no I already fought him, who should I fight? Maybe I could fight a copy of me!
Another Tozuki appeared, they had brown dark brown hair and green eyes, he wore a black T-shirt and black shorts. Both Tozuki's summoned a black Long-Sword with a red eye embedded in the hilt and that had a demonic aura. Both of them charged at each other, using the same fighting style and they were both on equal footing.
*600 Hours Later*
Tozuki finally landed a blow on Copy Tozuki, both were heavily drained and using 'God Eye'. Copy Tozuki thrusted his blade forward, allowing an opening as Tozuki chopped off the head of Copy Tozuki.
Tozuki: God, I never imagined I had that much stamina, or maybe I'm just not drained in here. I guess I'll train my body some more.
Tozuki began to do pushups, sit-ups, squats and 1 armed hand-stand pushups. He also practiced more sword techniques and controlling his Maho.
Tozuki: Hmmmm, maybe I should finally form a Self-Shackle, let's see here, oh I have an idea
Tozuki closed his eyes, breathing in an out, a bright white light appeared in front of him as he began to form his Self-Shackle.
Tozuki: In exchange for training my Maho Amount 40% slower, for every hour I train the effectiveness of my training goes up by 2%
Chains suddenly appeared on Tozuki's body for a brief second, then disappearing into thin air, the Self-Shackle was a success.
*Another 600 Hours Later*
Tozuki left his mindscape, he felt his body had grown much stronger and his control over Maho was incredibly more efficient than before. He took off the wristband and the orb around him disappeared. He stood up much faster than usual and he felt without even using his Maho he was just naturally stronger.
Tozuki: This is incredible, I really need to train more like this, but I should take a break and go get a bite to eat
Tozuki left the campus and walked into a bakery, there were many cakes and pies on display.
Baker: How may I help you?
Tozuki's eyes suddenly flashed red as he lost control of his body and he couldn't move.
Tozuki: To reach the space between the moon and heavens, one must ascend
The Baker nodded her head and pressed a button, opening a secret passage way behind the counter. Tozuki's body jumped over the counter and walked down the stairs that spiraled into the abyss.
