" Chaos magic doesn't exactly have spells or incantations like other magic types, instead it's straight magical manipulation, its use is divided into two types, creation and destruction, very straightforward but also something that took master magicians centuaries to realize, something that was previously thought as a magic only usable to kill and destroy is also able to rebuild whole citities and remove injuries as if they had never been there," Wanda explained to me while I continued my physical training by doing Handstand pushups to finally try and push my strenght to 50.
" But that is something that requires very precise control over it, while destruction is far easier to accomplish, it can also be tricky, no one wants to destroy a person, only to find themselves with a whole city gone because they weren't able to gauge their power."
Still listening, I proceeded to use only one hand to continue doing push-ups, my body screaming at me to stop and take some rest, but my willpower overshadowed my laziness and made me able to push my body beyond its current limits.
" The first time I unlocked my connection to Chaos Magic, I used it without much finesse and caused a lot of problems to a lot of people, but the more I grew, the more I realised how much I could do for others with my powers."
I felt my muscles about to explode in my right arm, I remained still as I tried and tried to push myself up, my muscles didn't tear, only thanks to my powers turning the damage into HP damage. But I still felt them trying to, but I continued, I pushed, and pushed, until I was mere millimetres away from completing the pushup.
"What we will teach you is not how to use chaos magic, but to control it; how you will use it is something strictly personal and something you will have to discover for yourself."
I finally pushed myself up, completing the 100 push-ups. My stamina had almost hit rock bottom as I felt the biceps scream for revenge against their torturer. Me.

Pushing my body up onto my feet now was as easy as moving a feather, the effect of Undomitable force already making my body feel like a beast ready to be unleashed, the effect of Unstoppable Machine already fueling my body back from it's missing stamina.
" Have you even listened to a single word I said?" Wanda asked me while massaging her temples.
" Only because I seem like I am not listening, it doesn't mean I am not, you have explained how Chaos magic is very fine path between creation and destruction, and how both require very fine control over it as they could both lead to unpredicted accidents, and while I thank, I assure you my control over my magic is absolute."
To prove my point, I summoned all my mana types aside for Chaos and started using the air as my Canvas, recreating a perfect image of her, the levels of my painting and drawing skills levelling a ton because of the leap in quality from the last painting I had done.

And there standing right in front of Wanda, was an exact copy of her, though I had taken the freedom to change some of her colour because of my absence of certain elements.
" How long can you keep something like this up for?"
I didn't immediately answer her. Instead, a minute later, I saw my MP bar go back to full thanks to my regen recovering almost half of my mana pool in just a minute.
" For as long as I wish."
" Well, this makes things easier at least, your skills seem to already be adequate for the basic levels of chaos magic."
Taking a pen from one of her pockets, she placed it on the ground and looked back at me.
" Change it to black."
'Seems easy enough.'
Evoking Chaos Magic I tried to control it, but it was like nothing before, it wished to be controlled but also wished to change everything into something it wasn't before, it wanted to create chaos, and this being my first time using it caused the pen to turn into a blue headless moving chicken.
" At least you didn't summon a giant octopus like I did my first time." She said while turning the chicken back to a blue pen.
" Try again."
Taking a big breath, I use my full focus this time, the effect of the skill making my mind sharper than before, and more attentive to minute details.
I summoned Chaos mana, I felt it shift, it was like a mix of water and gas, easily malleable but chaotic in its fluid movement. But I controlled it, I continued to use my will to stop it from doing whatever it wished, and after it finally stopped moving like a maniac I used it.
A red aura covered the pen for second, the previously blue pen now was black, I had done, I had changed reality.
" Perfect, now change its physical structure, the length, thickness, color, and also leave something like a mark on it to make sure you did it."
'... This is going to be a bitch.'
