Ignoring the pain that came from my muscles, I remained still, maintaining the position horse riding that had been ingrained in my brain through the effect of the "Kamar-Taj Style" skill, the impact of being under 50% stamin, a making my muscles start to hurt, the only reason I was able to maintain this position for 3 whole hours was thanks to the of Nature's Mend to regen my stamina, and Focus making me ignore any type of distraction.
Why am I doing this? Because I don't like my current build. In a game where there is no apparent level cap and you can learn any skill and spell, why are you stuck with one singular build? Why not become a master of all? Until now, I have only become a good Magician, but my physical stats and fighting skills are just above average.
Finally, my body snapped like a whip. First came a fist, next a roundhouse kick, a low spinning kick, a rising palm strike, and an elbow strike to finish.
Panting, I remained still, letting the feeling of completing the session fill my muscles, my connection to blood letting me unconsciously control my muscles such that the more my stats grow, the more my body will take the route I want it to take.
Slowly moving back into position, I let my muscles relax and heal, the effect of this training session already visible through the notifications.

My vitality was the easiest to grow thanks to my connection to two mana types that were directly connected to vitality and life, same goes for dex and wind mana, I still need new mana types that could help with endurance and strength, maybe earth and fire? I will need to further research this topic.
" It's incredible how you control your mana." A woman's voice said from behind me, and though I had known she had been looking at me for quite a while, I had decided to ignore her and continue my training.
Instead of answering her, I started meditating, not sitting, and still very aware of my surroundings.
Thanks to the little stunt I had pulled when gaining chaos mana, my meditation skill had drastically changed, to something far more powerful, and usefull.

Having a nearly endless mana pool helps spamming spells to make them grow more than I expected.
" You were more fun when you thought we were going to attack you," Agatha said after realising I wasn't going to answer her.
" And you were much scarier when I didn't see you flirt with my paternal figure." I retorted.
"Is Yao your paternal figure? I never thought he had it in him." She said, surprised, trying to fully understand the emotions of a most likely centuries-old wizard isn't exactly easy, so I am not sure she is really as surprised as she is showing.
When my stamina pool got back to full, I began moving back once again, ready to start another training session, only to get stopped once again by Agatha.
" Why are you doing this?"
" I like training, and also I think my powers have given me a liking to gain through effort."
She didn't say much, but if I had looked better, I could have noticed a sliver of disbelief in her eyes.
Around 8 AM, I stopped training, changed my clothes from my training gear to my normal attire and headed for my room to make Mary breakfast, Agatha still closely following.
Before going inside, though, I spun towards her, my previous calmness left, and now a face of pure coldness and anger took it's place.
" What I am about to show you is the most treasured thing in my life; if even a single strand of hair is removed from her head, I would kill every single being you love, and then torture you until the end of this universe arrives."
Before she could answer, I opened the door. I headed inside to see Mary already awake and trying to make pancakes with the help of Ivy, Zephyr lying on the top of her head, and Obsidian, once again in his small form, flying around the kitchen to bring the necessary ingredients.
" Dad, I made pancakes, look."
'... I don't think pancakes are supposed to be purple.'
" Thanks, sweety. I will eat all of them," I said, taking a bite from one of them.
