The other two spells he had created were easily used so he chose to focus on them for now, he already knew what he needed about his first spell and wanted to make sure he didn't try and learn too many spells at once.

He wanted to focus on the two he had created over the week and master them before moving on to other, higher, tiers.

It was possible for a Devil to work their way up, but it would take a tremendous amount of power and ability to do it quickly.

Lelouch would be stuck for the foreseeable future, though he decided to set his current goal to be Mid-Class by the end of the school year instead of immediately shooting for High-Class.

He'd also begun to realize that the stronger he grew the less he would gain from the Contracts, unless the price was the soul of the human which would probably double his power yet again in an instant at the very least.

If he truly wanted to get stronger faster, he'd have to train physically and magically in order to grow his power rather than relying on Contracts. No matter how much he detested the physical effort.

And that was how he found himself face down on the ground outside the old school clubhouse, where the ORC held its meetings, after classes. Koneko and Kiba sat off to the side, watching his training session with Akeno.

Kiba was there because, as the first Knight, he could offer Lelouch pointers on how to improve his control over his speed and how to efficiently use his magical power.

Koneko was there because she wanted to encourage him and because, after the exhaustion he faced after his first training session, he made sure to have a couple meals packed so he could recover his energy quicker before heading home.

Lelouch guessed Rias was watching from the window to make sure her Queen didn't take things too far, but he didn't count on it.

He had gone home with his uniform in tatters and utterly exhausted after his first training session with Akeno.

He was very thankful for the Student Council President's willingness to give him a new uniform each time one of them was destroyed during his training.

When he thanked her, she simply shrugged and said that the same thing had happened when she trained other members of her own Peerage.

Lelouch groaned loudly, ignoring Akeno's taunting with ease. His Sin of Wrath was flaring as strong as ever.

He concentrated on the cold rage flaring in the center of his chest and held up one of his hands as he rose to his knees.

He concentrated the energy into his palms and fired off a shot, not surprised in the slightest when Akeno stepped to the side to avoid it as it had been rather slow.

The black orb of Void energy flew off into the sky, and Akeno taunted him again as she walked towards him to finish him off so they could have some food.

Lelouch maintained a straight face through all of her taunting and just waited.

Perhaps she had seen something in his face, or perhaps she had sensed the energy of the orb returning behind her, but either way Akeno spun around right in front of Lelouch and raised her arms to shield herself from his attack that had circled back around to target her.

Lelouch used his arms to balance himself and swept the distracted Devil's feet out from under her with a somewhat sloppy low kick, though it got the job done as she was unable to block the orb from hitting her after her hands instinctively went out to catch herself so she wouldn't hit the ground.

He scrambled backwards a second or two before the orb hit the Queen in the center of her back, pushing her onto the ground as the first solid hit he had gotten on her in the past week of training finally forced the dark-haired girl to the ground.

Sitting back against a tree with his legs trembling slightly from some of Akeno's earlier lightning attacks screwing with his nerves down there, Lelouch stared at Akeno as she got up with only some mild burns on her back from his last-ditch effort. Though the back of her uniform was shredded.

"You snapped off my bra." She complained and Lelouch could see the strap had been broken after the attack struck her before she turned around with a grin.

"But it hurt so good." Akeno licked her lips, trying to tease him for the umpteenth time. "You finally managed to get a good hit on me." She blushed and delicately placed a hand on her cheek.

"I'm so proud." Her grin developed a wicked quality as she looked at him. "Can you hurt me more?" She taunted him.

She was disappointed, but not surprised, to see him keep a straight face. Just as he was disappointed, but not surprised, that his attack hadn't done more than superficial damage.

'Huh, I guess she's a sadomasochist and not just a sadist.' Lelouch realized as Akeno reacted to what he was sure was nothing more than a good sting.

Not only did she like inflicting pain, but she didn't mind receiving either if that comment was anything to go by.

Void Shot was a spell Lelouch had come up over the past week or so when he got more control over his powers.

Void Shot didn't cost him much energy as they were small spheres of magic, about the size of a tennis ball, that held the concept of Void and, as a result, were pitch black.

It was a spell that was fueled by his Wrath, a spell that used the concept of Nothingness to destroy its targets that had enraged him.

In other words, the orb of Nothingness, of Void, consumed whatever it touched to attempt to fill its emptiness before detonating in an explosion.

At least, that was the theory behind it. In reality, unless the magical resistance was insanely weak or nonexistent, Lelouch's spell didn't do more than superficial damage unless he used more power than was safe for a simple spar.
