A day had passed since Sparrow was healed. Bruce and Alfred had both come back to the manor. Noticing Alex state they decided to avoid talking about the issue and they all just sat down for a calm dinner of chatting and laughing about what had happened. A whole day had passed officially it had been a week since Alex moved into Waylon Manor and also a week from when he started his hardcore daily training. His stats got a boost
Status- Alexander Cartwright
Strength- 15 (13)
Agility - 15 (13)

Wisdom -13 (12)
Endurance -16 (15)
( parentheses are for the old number)
Alex's physical stats all increased by two due to his training and beating by Bruce. His intelligence and wisdom raised by one each and same with endurance since that could only raise by being beaten or hurt.
As Alex was looking at his stats he realized he could finally use Phase on his whole body.
{ Host can only use Phase for up to two minutes on whole body and 10 minutes on single body part or weapon.}
"Wait I can use Phase shift on my weapons?"
{ Yes however you'll need to practice to do so. I've already recommended two times before that you practice but you haven't. } the system said in a somewhat annoyed tone.
"Alright alright I'll go practice now. Today a no work out day anyway according to your work out schedule." Alex apologizing.
Alex got ready for the day. He got out of bed and entered the shower using Waylon Enterprises shampoo and conditioner. He dried off with a Waylon Enterprises towel. And got dressed in Waylon Enterprises workout clothes. He then headed down the stairs and into the dining room. Bruce was already there unlike what was usual there was three plates and Bruce was waiting to eat instead of hurrying out himself. Alex sat down in his seat and also waited. After about five minutes Grazsin walked into the dining room still rubbing at where the IVs where the day before.
Even Alfred came in with a Plate of food and sat down with the family. They all are in a comfortable silence between chosen family. After the meal Bruce looked at both Alex and Grazin and said in a commanding tone.
"I don't want to see either one of you doing heavy work out today. Alex you've been doing it all week and need to rest. Grazsin you need to rest until your body feels better. I know Alex healed you with magic but he didn't heal your muscles anthropy. You need to rest for at least two days."
"Yes Sir"
"Yes Sir"
Both Alex and Grazsin said. Alex said it in a lackadaisical way and Grazsin really ment it.
Bruce glared at Alex but didn't say anything. Alex held his hands up in apology. " I won't do any heavy work today. I just had a new ability to try out to be honest. "
"Oh what ability is that another healing one but no one's injured at the moment?" Grazsin asked innocently.
Alex just held up his hand above his head and activated phase shift on his hand. Bruce Alfred and Grayson watched as his hand turn in-corpcoral. Alfred's jaw dropped. Grazsin looked at it in fascination. Bruce looked at it in suspicion. Alex had a feeling he was already updating his plans to restrain him. Little did he know that it was almost impossible to trap Alex now. He had a incorpcoral power could teleport and he had the ability to revive three times.
While he wasn't invincible he was very hard to kill. Alex didn't get conceited though because he knew that even with all the power he had now. He was still nothing before the real strong people of the RT universe. Even superbman could still harm him. Same with speed . He also knew it was only a matter of time before Bruce made a plan that could take him down.
After he finished eating he headed down to the dojo where he got abused daily by Bruce. He picked pulled out his batons. He put a sheet up Infront of a dummy. That way he could practice hitting or throwing stuff threw walls and having it emerge on the other side. He would do the batons first. He knew what he wanted to try. He wanted to phase his hand and arm with his baton.
Phase through the wall and un-phase half the baton to hit the target. He was actually a little scared to do this because if he messed up he might lose a limb. However he now had lesser Restoration so he wasn't that scared because while it could only regrow small limbs. He could hold the arm and reattach it.
So he decided to at least give it a try. He first unphased his whole arm. Luckily even though it was scientific his arm stayed attached and blood didn't come spurting out. After all it was magic.
Next he focused on the baton and forced the spell to cover it. He saw it slowly creep up allowing his unphased hand to grip it again. Once it was fully unphased Alex swung it through the sheet and dummy as a test.
It phased through both of them like a hand through air. He watched it as it just passed through both of them. He felt a faint draw of mana but that was really it.
Next he would try unphasing half of his baton just in the open and not through anything. He slowly withdrew the spell from half the baton. He watched as it slowly became solid again. He swung it around and heard it cut through the air and watched it cut through. He was once again amazed by this power.
He didn't know any other hero in the Range Technoverse (RT) that hade this power. At least not to this extent. There was people that could phase themselves and others. There wasn't however someone who could control objects themselves to phase. He was the only one he knew of that could phase objects like this. He realized though he had to practice more with just getting the spell to slowly increase and decrease. Aka phase the baton and un-phase it.
Alex spent over a one and half hours on getting the spell to quickly increase and decrease. He wasted 900 out of his 1500 mana. He only had 600 left so he decided to work on something else. He could work on the phasing half and half but that was a dangerous technique and he didn't want to use it this low on mana. So he decided to use his phase shift skill on his darts next. They were about four inches in length with a steel dull tip. They were used to knock people out and deal non-lethal damage. He figured if he could attach the spell to them and throw them through walls and objects then cancel the spell before it hit. This would be the ultimate surprise attack.
He first attached the spell to just the dart and his hand. He had to attach it to his hand so he could use the dart. He easily attached the spell to both in under ten seconds due to his training. Next he threw the dart and tried to cancel the spell when he watched right after it passed through the sheet. Annnddd He failed it just kept going and then finally unphased after going halfway into the wall of the dojo. Alex looked at it in fear. He quickly ran over and used the spell again to un-phase it back out of the wall. Leaving a hole in the wall. Alex slowly backed away from the hole and thought to himself that he will refuse that he had anything to do with that hole.
Done messing around he decided to find out why he couldn't cancel the spell right away. He could do it easily when it was in his hand. He could even do it when he threw it between hands. Why couldn't he do it after he threw it away.
{ System has been told to give you a hint by creator. The hint is your Mana Shaping skill }
Alex looked at the new message from the system and was a little upset at being given the answer so soon. He probably could've found it out himself. He thanked the system mentally anyway though after all time was the most important thing in life.
Alex activated the skill mana Shaping and the phase skill at the same time. He watched as what seemed to be a solid bubble appeared over the dart. He tried to touch it with his normal hands but it acted like nothing was there even though he could see it. He then tired to cancel the spell five feet away and it instantly work. He spent the next thirty minutes working on this new combination before running out of both mana and stamina. He was finally ready to fight other super humans.
