Chapter 24: Training, Training, Training.

As soon as I wake up messages are popping up everywhere. 

[You have gained one Biomass.] x7

I wake up early and again throw Cell harvested parts into the pit along with everyone else this time I control them to keep 12 unique mushrooms. 

[Cell Harvesting has reached level 5.Upgrade available]

[Would you like to upgrade Cell Harvesting to Intermediate Cell Harvesting? This will cost 1 Skill Point.]

No! Not right now.

With the thought of getting my Cell Absorption ability up I begin to ponder the many different ways I can get the skill up. One of them being 'i should see if a small piece of me can be exchanged with bodytwo to gain his insight on the skill' another being 'maybe I should just steal it from his brain using cell harvest' I seem to keep latching on to this idea that the other two of me will steal my body and make themselves at home. This must be what mental affliction from a backlash on mental mana use is. I wonder if they have any doctors here for this kind of thing.

Maybe a mental clarity spell will work but I'm not sure what to put for the settings on it. There is a way to make your mind stronger too from outside attacks but I'm not sure if I'll ever even need that. I wonder if there are any dungeons in this world. I haven't seen any magic users and Master Shikans hasn't really said anything to me about my magic use. It must be something rare. I don't know. I think I used the clarity spell right. I'm starting to wish my subconscious would take over at some point and help me out. 

I feel all alone sometimes from these magic channels too. I haven't really been searching much but I think I can grab Master Shikans attention with it sometimes. There are a lot of thoughts going through my head while training. Hold on bodytwo is changing forms now. Maybe I should hold back on this next attack and do a faint. I think too much sometimes and these Beginner Eternal Lotus Elegy moves suffer from my thoughts.

I can keep serious during the real fights but the constant repetition is getting to me. I think they keep feeding me information on their moves when I fight them… maybe I just think too loud. I should really learn to control that. That's the problem I don't know how. I keep thinking that's a good idea but the idea never shows up, Or at least I can't remember it. What's this next incantation look like again you know that magic scripture thing.. What is it called? Formation. Maybe.

Oh yeah, would this help. I need to move my body a certain way and describing it's hard. It's like a slanted angle more in that direction. That's not good enough. My explanation seems to be short. I'm sure I had it somewhere. A good positional understanding is sometimes key for what I'm doing… 

[Beginner Eternal Lotus Elegy has reached level 4]

What a miraculous joke. They are broadcasting their minds on purpose louder just so I can hear it. What are they doing, why are they doing that. Why is this magic incantation doing it that way? How hard is it to just follow a pattern and make a symbol for this. I'd have to draw it out. I need paper. There is no way that the whole symbol looks different. That is such a nonsense way of bragging about being able to do that. I can't believe you would do that to me. I'll get you back for this. You're going to stop moving at all the moment I get a hold of your mind. Why are you doing that? And then it dawned on me they listened to my mind passively. I couldn't believe they were simulating mental strikes at each other through my mind. What jackasses. But it does serve a point we definitely need to work on protection against mental attacks they could be lurking anywhere. Even here in my own thoughts. What is that? Is someone listening to me, hello? I can't believe it. I found a bug in my mind. I mean a little tiny recording device that I didn't make. From any of my bodies. That's crazy, the other two don't have it. They look at me nuts for building my mind in that direction for a couple seconds but it's true. I found a spy in my mind. They're making me feel like a hero for attacking it. I can only wonder what it really was.

Oh look, we finally got master Shikan to move. No way he is going to think it's a ghost or something. My other minds talk to me too fast. I can't write in my mental diary that fast. Slow down one at a time. They said he wasn't in time for it but it was a pretty neat coincidence. I really hope to upgrade my mind to do this faster one day or you guys are going to miss so much more of their conversations. I already bought the time gland. This happened a while ago. I'm already on the day I found my family again. I just hope I have enough time to write this all. The whole damn thing happened so fast it wasn't even by chance. My mind just fit the aptitude too well and the machine turned roque for the chance to experiment on a human. I can't believe I have to sit here everyday in the freezing cold mindlessly chanting a spell for you to even realize I'm not crazy. There are real laws out there now for this to never ever happen again so don't think it'll happen twice. Time is real... you would have believed me if I didn't lose the words that one day. It must have been crazy to see me do it. I can only imagine how it must feel to finally know Pride. A demon by name to some but an entity nonetheless. The reason why we never told that story is because of…. So much is lost in time, the tiniest detail changing cases a butterfly effects in an accelerated world millions of times slower or faster depending on your angle. The… reason might be the cause. (To reality the meaning behind life) But sometimes life carries a burden so deep that living co-existing within a plain so emulates truly sharpens your mind.(To humans the meaning behind death) I can't seem to understand why but it seems your attention has been caught on something. What happens next is something that could only ever be told by word of mouth. Never any proof, only ever a lie. I died. I felt the whole thing. My mind, my body, my everything I fell into the system or so the story goes. Time has only stood for so long. I live in a world beyond that where time has never been. You have to believe me I'd never lie. It seems everything equates to eh... well I can't tell you that just yet. Wait… What? What's going on? I'm still in the dojo. I can see it. It's like watching myself be myself. It's crazy I never imagined just getting a simple gland would let me peak so far into my life. I saw it all the millions of ways body three could have died that night. He was surrounded. He walked right into it too… he needed to run that far. You don't believe me, check for yourself. A scene plays In Front of my eyes. Thousands of interactions of myself losing my footing and running into a monster. How do I make this stop? It's making me sick. These two glands make too much of my mind thinking, it's crazy. 

(body two) I'm so glad I stayed in the pit today. What a weird thought from the main body. Did he fall into the laughing gas or did he just spend all his Biomass on glands and use them all at once. If I had a bet I would say he bought time and illusion and maybe something dark….. no it's death. He just made a fucking bomb. A literally ticking machine of death at the looks of the thing. I can't believe it. It's literally made of every mana he bought. I'm going to grab space mana just in case this goes south.

(Main Body) I dive at body twos mind I literally see him going full out kungfu mode. He is literally only thinking of beefing up his muscles and buying a billion eyes. Extremely paranoid, that one. 

(Body two) I'm going to have to act as your therapist from here after he lets that shit storm of a mana down the pipes.

(Main Body) Mwahahahahahahahahaha.
