I would say that I've grown pretty keen to being a baby, my days just consist of, watching my family, I especially enjoy watching Father train outside, but with Asuna around the house does tend to get chaotic, she's young and has awakened so she messes up alot, but she's still very immature so it's expected.
A little Ironic for me to say when I'm still the one who's a baby…
But!
What really piqued my interest is when Father reads books to me about how "mana" works, if it weren't for my excellent comprehending skills, I wouldn't understand a word he was saying. I wonder if he did this with Asuna…
Anyways.
The book that mostly peaks my interest is…
"The fundamentals of Dejecting,(Dejector) Projecting,(Projector)"
Father would read me a page from the book almost everyday, saying, "Iggy, you get that buddy?" I could almost conclude that Father was an idiot, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. He's trying his best to do his Fatherly duties, since Mother doesn't like when he takes me outside to watch him and Asuna train, but Mother doesn't like the idea since I've gotten hit by debris from there sparring, and yeah Mother didn't like that at all… let's just say she can become a pretty scary person, oh, and that nickname "Iggy," was given to me by my older sister great isn't it?
Now about the book, after a few weeks or so I've come to understand a little about, Dejecting, and Projecting. I remember each page word for word, or rather I'm sitting in his lap right now being read to, but let me think back to the first chapter, my memory may be a little foggy but let me give this my best shot… aha.
Rundown about
"The fundamentals of Dejecting,(Dejector) and Projecting(Projector)"

The basics about Dejecting, and Projecting.
Upon one's awakening, they are born either a Dejector, or a Projector. A Dejector is a person who's core specializes in using their magical power—also known as mana—in a way to exhort brute force, or rather further enhance their physical abilities. Dejectors use the mana that resigns in them, while on the other hand, people who are primary projectors use things like spells. [Hint: Dejectors can also use spells, while Projectors can also enhance their bodies, but one is just naturally more proficient than the other.] Projectors can cast more powerful spells than a Dejector. Since Projectors are using the help of mana that resigns in the atmosphere to enchant their power and speed, the difference in Dejecting and Projecting might be noticeable when they're in the earliest stage of their core, but once they start to get stronger on their own, it would become almost impossible to differentiate between them.
Yeah, this is going to be a lot to remember… haha.

Dejecting
Dejecting is a form of manipulating mana that enhances your physical abilities and is greatly amplified. People who are dejectors have more potent mana than those who are prejectors. Dejectors have a stronger connection to their core from birth. Dejectors will use the mana that their body and core will naturally absorb. Using it for a burst of power—either its strength or speed—dejecting increases your overall capabilities. mana can be channeled throughout your entire body. If, for example, you wanted to quickly save someone, you could channel most-to-all of your mana into your legs, which would cause you to become staggeringly faster, but if you channeled it to the specific muscle that is controlling that action, an increase would be superb. Since running is used, we'll use a muscle that is heavily involved in the action of running. If you were to channel most-to-all of your mana into your quadriceps, it would truly be superb.

Projecting
While projectors can also channel magic throughout their bodies, they can also do much more when it comes to manipulating mana. Projectors are able to manipulate mana down to the very molecule. A projector would be able to manipulate parts of their body with the help of mana; for example, they could turn their hair into a weapon sharper than a blade. On top of that, projectors would use the mana that is flowing around them to aid their attacks and make them insanely powerful. A very powerful projector can bend mana to their own will; if a projector is just outright more powerful than another projector or dejector, they can disrupt the ability the other person has to manipulate mana. Though this task can be overridden by others using more willpower, it will leave a heavy strain on your body, especially your core.

The Core
One's mana rests dormant in the core until the day of its awakening. The core is the most important part of the body because it houses one's mana; without a core, it would be impossible to manipulate mana. One's core matures over time, just as we go through puberty, going through changes that alter its structure (number). Its form could be accurately described as a circle with the Roman numeral engraved deep inside. To be able to tell what someone's core is, you must be at a higher stage—a two-quarter difference—because it puts a lot of strain on their body if they aren't, but it is still possible. Roman numerals, which are I, II, III, IV, V, VI, and VII, are used to identify its stage; each step increases the amount of mana that your core can withstand.
There are five quarters to each stage, and the number can only start to be identified once the user has hit their second quarter.
Now this is a very important thing to remember: your core can be overused, which can cause it to experience "OD." ODing occurs when your core has reached its limit or when your core is about to surpass its prior cap without an increase in its stage. If you continue to overuse your core while it is in OD, the consequences could be pernicious.
I'm sure that was a lot to take in, when Father was first teaching me these things he would sometimes read too fast or too slow and my brain would feel like mush—"Daddy!" Asuna barged into the room, "What is it?" Father asked, slightly confused.
"Come on, come on, let's train!" Asuna squealed while pulling Fathers arm.
"Hold on, fine." Father then stood up holding me slightly in front of him, "Iggy do you want to watch dada, and sis train?" he said as if i had a say so in anything.
I swung my little hand towards fathers cheek, landing, making a little sound, "Okay, Iggy's pretty happy to watch us train today, good you'll get to see how amazing your father is, AHAHAH." Father stated while letting out an idiotic laugh.
After we arrived outside, my father gave me a little high-five while sitting me down on the porch. I just watched as Father went out to Asuna as she summoned six spear-like objects—three on one side and three on the other. I noticed that she's more on the projector's side. While Father merely wielded a training sword, "Asuna, you should start learning close combat too. What are you gonna do if someone tries to run up on you?" Father lectured while tapping his sword overheadly on his shoulder, "Me no want to; the spears will protect me!" With an innocuous reply, Asuna fired the two overhead spears that were aimed directly at Father.
The spears had a razor-sharp tip and looked to be made of translucent soft-sage. The spears' rod portion appeared to be grooved, almost as if it could pierce through a boulder, though it was difficult to see. Should they be able to, I wouldn't be shocked. It appears somewhat dangerous... I'm wishing you luck, father!
The spears fired rather quickly. The sheer force and speed were enough to pierce through the atmosphere, emanating the sound of a "sonic boom."
Father was still standing there, urging her to engage in close-quarters combat. In an instant, the spear narrowed the distance between them. The spear was about an inch away from his face as he continued to stand, talking about close-quarters combat. Then he shifted to his left side, using his left hand to catch it. The spear dissolved into thin air after he caught it. He deflected the other with his sword without moving an inch, even though Asuna must have been controlling them since the other spear made a sharp left curve before reverting back into position while soaring through the air towards Father's back.
Focusing my attention back to Asuna, the spears were back on her body, where they originally resigned.
Hm, interesting, so the spears must've reappeared in the time span in which they were destroyed.
"No fair! No fair!" Asuna pouted, releasing every one of all six spears, sending them hurtling toward Father as their fifteen-meter gap closed. Father abruptly stopped speaking when he saw that every single spear was aimed precisely at him, almost like a single weapon, and then dispersed to encircle his body. One by one, each spear that was aimed at vital body parts went down. Father had now moved from where he had been, stumbling as he avoided the spears.
"Woah, woah." Father said, still stumbling and trying to regain his balance, "Well, haven't you improved? You're not trying to show off for Iggy, are you?" Asuna turned her head towards me, her pretty almond-green eyes watering. I guess I should give her some of my support, lifting my arms in an upward motion. I cheered for her; if I could talk, I would probably say something along the lines of "Asuna, you got this! Beat our idiot Father up!"
"Me must be strong for Iggy." Asuna replied, wow... Asuna is a little different from what I originally thought. She's so young; I never thought she would be concerned with strength or anything. With a small smile on his face, Father swept her off her legs, allowing her body to hang over half his shoulder. "Put me down! Iggy can't see me like this! Asuna cried out and tried to claw her way out of his grasp before Father gently lowered her back to the ground. "Asuna," he spoke in a passionate manner. "It's great that you want to get stronger, my lovely girl, but take your time. I think you'll end up being one of the strongest people in history." Before kissing her on the forehead, Father said, "Don't worry about Iggy either; I've got his back." He smiled down at Asuna.
Nicely said, Father. I wouldn't want Asuna to worry about me either; I can protect myself! I try to make all the cute little baby noises I can to get Father's and Asuna's attention. I even tried to say some gibberish, but I didn't catch Father's or Asuna's attention; it was Mother's who opened the door right behind me. "Oh my goodness, isn't the baby adorable!?" Mother picked me up, twiddling with my tiny fingers, then smothering my face with kisses. It seems that Mother managed to get their attention pretty easily, but my baby talk lost with no prevail.
