2 Chapter 2: Planning

The next morning, Vahn woke up with a light headache in his room. After getting up he started to explore the house, it wasn't a big mansion but more than large enough for a small family. His father bedroom was just across the corridor and the bathroom was right next to it. The wooden corridor led to the lounge, white and yellow wallpaper greeted him with a paved floor, the kitchen was open and his father was already cooking breakfast.

Seeing this Vahn entered the bathroom and readied himself for the day to come. After being refreshed, Vahn took a seat in the lounge and waited to be served by his father. Breakfast came soon after, a glass of milk and a toast with sausage and egg more than enough to last until lunch.

Finishing the breakfast without saying a word, Alastor after cleaning the table sat down in front of his son.

"Father, I want to learn everything I can to become stronger and also have lessons on etiquette and other subjects. "

"I will do what I can myself but my knowledge of magic is very limited as for the lessons you need to wait until you are at least 3 years old for a competent tutor to accept you. "

"When can we start the training father? "

"Immediately if you wish but be warned I will not be your father when I train you but your instructor. All my orders need to be fully completed, I will not acknowledge any complaint from you while I am teaching you. Is that understood? " his father warned him sternly hoping to dissuade him to train so early.

"I understand father. Please begin. "

"I will start with the basis of magic as it is the subject that I have the least practical experience aside from Adaptation and the menial devil magic needed for contract, summons and other useful tricks.

First try to feel the different type of energy inside your body, I don't know exactly how it will be for you as you are an hybrid.

From my experience I have 2 type of energy inside, the first is spread all over my body and is known as chakra we will work on it later during the physical training. The second is more compact and situated near the centre of my body it gives a dark feeling and is the source of your magic. After finding it you just need to combine it with your imagination to create magic.

Now try to find what is inside you. "

"Are you serious imagination plus magic energy equal magic phenomenon, father just tell me honestly that it is a bad joke from you? "

"Very serious, it is the devil way of magic but you aren't wrong human, nordic and fairy magic needs calculations, physical support, runes, focus, sacrifices or a combination of these elements. "

Vahn contemplated his father words and came to a rather amusing conclusion the prideful and so noble devil are using magic without understanding how it works.

Vahn, after musing himself for a while, closed his eyes and started his introspection. At the start he didn't feel anything else than his own heartbeats but slowly he began to feel the flow of blood in his body.

Almost an hour passed before he felt something strange in his chest like an immovable object and 2 currants of energy circling around it.

Vahn tried to alter the course of the energy currants but it was a fruitless endeavour, recalling what his father said before, he searched for his chakra flowing in his body. He finally felt it after hours of efforts but the quantity of it was almost non existent. Reopening his eyes, he was greeted by a hot cooked meal for his lunch. It suddenly clicked in his head that he spent a full 5 hours meditating.

"Found anything son? " asked Alastor with a smile plastered on his face.

"Too much and too little at the same time. I sensed my own chakra running through my body but there was too little of it to even try something with it. Aside from it, I couldn't interact with the 2 currants of energy that are circling around an unknown mass of dormant power. "

"It's surprising that you even sensed anything at all, Vahn. Chakra is the combination of spiritual and physical energy so it isn't peculiar that you don't possess a lot of it. As for the rest, don't take my words for law but I think the 2 currants are your demonic and holy energy and the dormant power must be a Sacred Gear.

Now what do you want to do with your magic training? dropping it, put it for later or force yourself for little to no result? "

"I will focus on meditating and getting used to the different energy inside of me father. It seems the best method for now but I will take your word for the physical training, please be as harsh as it is needed. " exclaimed Vahn while grinning ferociously.

"Eat lunch, it's getting cold. And in the afternoon we will begin your physical training, after dinner you will have another seance of meditation. I am at home for the rest of the week so I expect you to listen and learn during these 4 days. After that time, I will have to work and can only teach you during the weekend but you still can ask me any questions you have after dinner. "

They ate slowly and in calm. After finishing the meal, Alastor got up and cleaned the table.

"Father, what have you planned for my training? "

"Your planning will be the following for each day until you improve or reach 3 years old:

- breakfast

- meditation

- lunch

- warm up

- physical exercises

- dinner

- meditation

- sleep

Now let's go outside, I will show you your training regime. "
