Chapter 5: Dimensional Siphoning

"I'll see you soon, Koneko," I said, waving at her with a smile.

She nodded and waved back before entering her classroom. I left and headed back to my own.

As I walked, I pondered the spell I needed to siphon the Dimensional Gap. Absorb, flow, control, seize, contain, secure, protect, space, time, open, close, durable, connection, repair, force, stop, and start - I had all the necessary concepts, but the resulting magic circle would be enormous.

I wondered if I needed to add more concepts to the spell, but then reminded myself that I wasn't stupid enough to risk my life again. Still, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing.

Finally, I arrived at my classroom and realized that this project was a waste of my time. I decided to leave with my clone, created with a snap of my fingers.

"[Sleep]," I said, causing every nearby student to fall unconscious.

"Great, [Clone]," I said as a perfect carbon copy of myself appeared.

"Do your job, but be sure to tell anyone who knows me personally that you're a clone," I instructed it.

"Got it. Be careful with your project, boss," my clone said, saluting me.

I smiled and teleported into the sky, my wings sprouting out in reflex.

"Huu."

"This town sure is beautiful," I thought as I soared through the sky. "Ahh, my brother would be proud of me if he saw that I am flying with wings." I smiled, reminiscing about the past.

"Damn, I miss my wee little brother. His smile is very contagious," I thought to myself as a tear rolled down my cheek. Quickly wiping it away, I noticed a large forest to my right, which I decided would be my training spot for now.

Flying at a normal speed, I arrived at the forest and landed safely. "Sona's going to be mad if she finds out that the real me didn't go to school, but who cares? Let's start the training."

I extended my right hand and began to create the spell. I closed my eyes and imagined the concept that the magic circle needed.

"Absorb," I muttered as I imagined the power flowing into my body.

"Flow," I continued as I envisioned the power circulating within me.

"Control," I whispered as I focused on the power, ensuring it remained under my control.

"Seize," I thought as I claimed ownership of the power.

"Contain," I murmured as I visualized the power being contained within my body.

"Secure," I said as I concentrated on keeping the power in check.

"Protect," I muttered as I imagined the power shielding me from harm.

"Space," I stated as I envisioned the three-dimensional continuum containing positions and directions.

"Augh!" I coughed up blood and extended my left hand to support the creation of the spell.

"Time," I muttered as I hastened the process.

"Open," I continued as I envisioned the location opening up.

"Close," I whispered as I focused on closing the location.

"Durable," I thought as I envisioned the magic circle becoming more durable.

"Connection," I murmured as I imagined creating a link with the location.

"Repair," I said as I envisioned repairing the magic circle and myself if necessary.

"Force," I stated as I imagined the location giving out power.

"Stop," I muttered as I focused on ending the magic circle.

"Start," I whispered as I initiated the spell.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a large red magic circle with 17 smaller circles within it. Despite the blood in my mouth and the urge to vomit, I smiled. I had managed to create the spell.

"Let's call it [Dimensional Siphoning]," I said to myself. "I think I need to work on the name, but sometimes the simplest is the best."

The only downside was that my Demonic Energy reserves were too low to maintain the magic circle. "Ah," I groaned as the circle began to weaken and crack. I stopped supplying Demonic Energy, and it disappeared into thin air.

"Thank God—" I began to say, but then felt a sharp pain in my head. "Godd— no, not again!" I cursed. "Shit, I need to stop saying that." I paused for a moment before continuing. "Let's just use Big G and continue what I'm saying. I'm grateful that my clone didn't disappear after using most of my Demonic Reserves."

I decided that siphoning power from the Dimensional Gap could wait. The first thing I needed to do was destroy this body, heal it, and try again.

"Repeat this process and my body will become stronger than ever. I really wish that my body had some Zenkai or Smart Atoms like Saiyan and Viltrumite. I need to do this because it will help me hone my skills and increase my overall stats. Also, the fact that I may be able to use Touki from training is exciting.

But for now, let's start the training regimen. I can't wait to see how much better my body's endurance is. Let's go!"

«Third person point of view»

A few hours passed, and the sun began to set. Half-naked Yuuto was glistening with sweat, wiping it off his forehead.

"Damn, it's already sunset," Yuuto said, finally noticing the time after training in the zone. He snapped his fingers to clean his body.

[Clean]

A magic circle appeared above him, phasing through his body and cleaning him completely.

"This feels refreshing, but the fact that I forgot about time is too much. This is the first time that's ever happened. Usually, I want my training to end quickly, but I can push myself even further with Healing Magic," Yuuto said.

[AN: So many people misunderstood Healing Magic. It just a magic that can remove fatigue if I said Fatigue Relieve Magic would be too long. That's why I use Healing Magic, it is simple for me to write it]

He put his clothes back on and removed the dust by tapping the dust off.

"My body sure is tough. To think that I can do a hundred thousand reps or more in calisthenics exercises."

Then, he suddenly remembered the promise he made to Akeno.

"Wait, didn't I make a promise with Akeno?" he said, realizing his mistake.

He quickly sprouted his wings and flew upward into the sky.

"Fuck," he muttered, searching for Akeno while activating magic in his eyes, making them change color to red.

"Hmm...there she is, in front of the school gate...looks like she's mad at me," he said, facepalming himself for forgetting his promise.

"Next time, I should be more careful when making a promise."
