Improvements

The next day after waking up, Alex freshened up and then started with watching videos again only this time of musical instruments and their composing on both paper and on the pc to make mixes.

After a fun informative morning and musical breakfast, he continued with drawing going progressively forward in his skills and just before sunset, he was almost at the peak beginner level and would enter intermediate after successfully drawing a simple drawing completely and not just rough and individual parts of a whole person or picture.

Deciding to have a change of pace for the time being he went to the music room and started playing piano with some beginner melodies like twinkle twinkle, jingle bells, birthday song, old macdonald had a farm, finally ending it with a simple version of fur elise as he had already gotten a feel for the keys and playing the piano with the talent plus knowledge.

Continuing an early dinner after the music session he went back to the drawing board and by midnight hee finally completed his fist drawing which was none other than mickey mouse!

With completing the drawing, he also got the knowledge on the next improvement which will take him a bit more time around 5 days as he will not do only drawing all day and start with other stuff as well like music and singing which he already reached the peak of beginner as he knew how to play piano and sing in his past life as well.

Apart from that he also decided learning magic tricks, which although sounds childish he always wanted to be good at it so he will do it. Thus began the first grind of many in the new world.

He started with hitting different notes and singing some simple songs like one call away, thousand years, and the like for singing along with playing the piano and sometimes guitar as the proficiency for each music instrument is same no matter which you work on but you have to actually play to get the feel but it will be faster than starting from scratch.

Magic tricks began by simple coin and card tricks followed by the cups and balls, rope trick, and the like, which increased to more advanced tricks as he progressed. That was very fun as he performed anything new he learned to Alfred which seemed to make him happy as he was very worried about me as he was like a grandpa to me and after the accident I was very withdrawn and suddenly asked him to make a training and shooting range for me of the highest level.

By the end of 5 fun days he had entered the Advanced level for drawing and was almost at the peak of intermediate but not there yet with music, singing and magic tricks as he did it in breaks but this was still a massive improvement as he had to practice all tricks and melodies at least 5-10 times to get good.

Satisfied with his drawing level, he decided to start with his mangaka career with naruto as his first manga with nisekoi following up for the modern section as he felt that they should be good for a first time and he was going to change some things in the story to make it more complete and not too over the top like the otsutsuki.

Another unexpected advantage of the enhanced body was that he could do normal things faster than normal so he expected to complete the first volume by the end of month at least as he would not be solely paying attention to manga and start writing novels and start working on other skills as well as his fighting skills which begins in a week. He could also speed up the practice due to high speed which his body and mind both cope with.

The rest of the week went in taking music, singing and magic tricks to Advance level. Another amazing thing about the skill levels is that the highest a normal human can go without interference of magic is the peak of Advance but would only take me around a month to go from not even knowing what it is to the best out of everyone in the world.

So although it was only beginning of the Advanced level it was still very good and I will only get better with more use of the skill.

After the end of the week now the training range would be ready to use tomorrow and I would start my combat training. Now with the beginning advanced level music, singing, and magic tricks, I could play all the famous melodies on piano, guitar, flute, violin and drums to a very good level. My singing was also enough to be among the best singers and definately best among my generation.

With my magic tricks I could do some very amazing looking magic tricks and sequences like in 'Now you see me' from his previous life as well as many tricks you can see on pen & teller show. They brought a smile to my face and my audience be it Alfred or the head maid Beth, or any of the other staff from gardner to chef to security as I performed them with almost everyone on the big mansion as I was getting bored and I needed to interact with them as well as improve my skill level.

It turned out to be a very fun week. Now will begin the physical grind. I will select some styles to set as my main ones along with my main weapon and guns and focus on taking them to Advance before going to other forms of combat. In the remaining time I will get back to coding and writing my books and manga.

I decided to go with wing chun, for boxing, taekwondo for kicking and mixing karate and muay thai for balance. I will later improve the styles with magic like re-taekwondo, and also learn jeet kune do which was the style of bruce lee one of them best martial artists in his past life but that comes after he is familiar with martial arts as it has the same effect as different music instruments which will be easier to learn different styles once I am familiar with it to some extent. So it will take lesser time to get its level up to the rest.

For weapons, I decided to go with archery, nunchucks, and bo staff. After I am familiar with them, I will learn hidden weapons, dagger, sword and spear as I am more of a staff and spear with knives guy than swords.

As I am not really a military nerd, for me guns are just pistol, assault rifle, sniper rifle, shotgun, semi-automatic and automatic. This is also through the videos research. I will start with pistols and sniper as I feel those are better for me to grasp.
