Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

"Honey, how long has it been since I started training with sister Nightshade?" Liu Yang asked after taking a shower and relaxing in bed with Liu Xia.

Currently, the two were lying in bed naked and embraced.

"In total, it was ten days. Sister Nightshade lets you rest for five days before you can get back to training. "Liu Xia understood what Liu Yang had experienced inside his mind, she has done this type of training before.

"I see ..." Liu Yang imagined something like that, he and Liu Xia have had such training before. But it wasn't as torturous as it was this time.

"Honey, are we going to get some sleep?" Liu Xia was already exhausted after the long activity session with Liu Yang a few moments ago.

"Yes." The couple hugged each other tightly before closing their eyes and sleeping embraced.

…

Five days later…

The couple returned to the basement of the house, Liu Yang already had his eyes closed while Liu Xia was behind him with her hands on his back, she was already possessed by Nightshade.

Within Liu Yang's mind, he was being trained in another way this time. Rather than being a stone platform, Liu Yang was in the water dodging the logs. Despite being in the water, Liu Yang was able to breathe as if he were out of the water, but not for long, Nightshade will change that as the training progressed.

The training of water was to improve reflexes when Liu Yang was in places of difficult movement, as water. The training was the same, dodging tree trunks, but this time, it was in the water.

Liu Yang suffered much more in this training than in the previous one, because moving in the water was much more difficult and his body was slower. Because of that, his reflexes when dodging were minor.

The training in the water also lasted a year inside Liu Yang's mind, after that, he had a few more days of rest as before. So, a month has passed in the real world. Fifteen days for the first training session and fifteen days for the second.

The second was different from the first after two years of mentally training reflexes, Liu Yang would have to train his body this time. The same things that happened in the mind, Liu Yang would have to do in the real world.

Nightshade simulated the same situations inside the basement as in the first two training sessions.

The first was Liu Yang on top of a square meter stone block, he had to dodge the ten wooden logs for twenty days, the speed of the logs for the first ten days was half the maximum speed of the twelfth month of the mental training. The other ten days, Nightshade increased the speed to the maximum.

After the ten days of training, Liu Yang would have three days of rest.

The second was Liu Yang inside a big bubble of water trying to dodge, the speeds were the same as before. Ten days at half speed, and the other ten days at full speed.

Overall, Liu Yang suffered extreme torture from the beginning. But he never said anything or complained about the pain, Liu Yang clenched his teeth and endured the pain. His body was already very strengthened because of the two body refinement liquids, this fact helped Liu Yang to endure the physical pain.

After forty days of training, Liu Yang was given five days to rest. Liu Xia rewarded him in the best possible way, she did all the positions he wanted during the activities and even made new perverted positions. Liu Xia saw the whole process that Liu Yang went through in the forty days and thought he deserved that reward.

After both method training, mental and physical, a total of seventy-five days passed. Liu Yang and Liu Xia still had fifteen days to enjoy their vacation before the start of the new high-school year.

Liu Yang's last workout would be only ten days long, but neither mental nor physical. He would have to learn to fly and create his own magic.

…

The couple was already in the basement again, Liu Xia managed to completely satisfy Liu Yang the day before so he can keep his focus on training.

"Darling, this will be the last part of the training. You will have to learn to fly "Liu Xia said while doing a massage on Liu Yang's shoulders.

"Seriously???!!!" Liu Yang was excited when he heard Liu Xia's words.

"Yes. I will teach you the two methods for flying, you can learn one or both "

"I want to learn both ways, as it can help me in some special situations"

"Okay" Liu Xia knew that Liu Yang would say something like that.

"Darling, the first method uses a lot of magic energy if the magician can't control it properly, a lot of magical energy will be wasted, but in your case, that should be fine. The medicinal energy of the liquid created by sister Nightshade was finally completely refined some time ago, and because of that, we were able to reach the Advanced level. As our body has become accustomed to this new power, this is the best time to learn to fly.

The first method is the simplest, but at the same time, the most tiring. The first thing you need to do is focus and create two wings of wind on your back. Try to do that "Liu Xia explained a little about flying.

The medicinal liquid created by Nightshade was very powerful, if Liu Yang and Liu Xia tried to refine it quickly, their bodies could explode. Because of this, Nightshade took some precautions, it sealed a great amount of energy in the couple's body. She wanted them to refine after they got used to the new powers.

When the couple got used to their powers, Nightshade helped them refine the rest of the energy within their bodies. The energy was not enough to reach an advanced level.

Liu Yang and Liu Xia only managed to reach the Advanced level because they were using the meditation technique during energy refining, meaning the couple was doing activities in bed while Nightshade helped them both refine their bodies' energies.

The meditation technique circulated the energy from Liu Yang's body to Liu Xia's body and vice versa. The cycle was infinite, and with each round, the energy that was transferred and received at the same time was getting bigger with each cycle. This fact was the main reason for the breakthrough of the couple, they managed to gather a large amount of energy at once and broke the barrier of the advanced level.

"Create wings like that?" Liu Yang asked, he closed his eyes and imagined two wings on his back.

Greenlight covered Liu Yang's body before slowing down on his back, a pair of pale green wings formed.

"Honey, is that it?" Liu Yang found it easy to create the wing, but the problem was controlling the flight.

"Try to fly"

"How do I do that?"

"Use the magical energy of the wind to move the wings"

Liu Yang closed his eyes and concentrated. The wings on his back began to glow slightly. But a strange thing happened, Liu Yang did not go up at all.

"Did I get to fly?" Liu Yang didn't know what it felt like to fly, so he didn't notice the difference.

"Look at yourself"

Looking down at his feet, Liu Yang just laughed internally. He didn't go up even a millimeter.

"I think this will be a little more difficult than I thought" Liu Yang commented. He felt that he had injected magical energy into the wing.

"Darling, you managed to inject magical energy into the wing, but you don't know how to use the wing."

"Honey, how can I use the wings?"

"Try to move the wings on your back, without injecting magical energy."

Liu Yang concentrated, but for some reason, he couldn't move his wings.

"Honey, why can't I move my wings like normal magic?"

"Darling, haven't you figured out the difference between the two yet?"

"My wings are of magical energy, I thought that I could control in the same way that I control magical energy. But that seems to be the wrong method of flying "

"Darling, there is a small difference between using the magic element to attack and to fly. Despite being controlling the power of the elements, there is still a difference. This difference is in the use of magical power.

One of the simplest examples is when we attack using only the power of the elements. Thus." Liu Xia waved her hand and a spear made of energy from the darkness appeared.

"Now, I'm going to use the power of the elements on my own body" A black light covered Liu Xia's body, but she didn't disappear. Liu Xia turned into a black shadow.

"Honey, I can see you, but I don't feel any signs of energy coming from your body" Liu Yang was surprised to see this.

"Darling, do you understand now? Using the power of the elements externally is much easier than using the body itself. Because if something goes wrong, you can suffer light or heavy injuries, sometimes this failure can be fatal. " Liu Xia explained in a serious tone. She had to show Liu Yang that using power on her body was extremely serious and dangerous.

"Honey, why did I manage to create the wings without any problem?"

"Creating the wings is the same thing as creating a wind blade, the wings are on the outside of your body. Darling, what you need to do now is to have the wing attached to your back. But be careful with that, or you could get hurt "

"I see ... this way?" Liu Yang tried to follow Liu Xia's words. He closed his eyes again.

"Honey, wait !!!" Liu Xia was startled when she saw Liu Yang try what she just said, but it was too late.

Something happened when Liu Yang tried to put the wind wing on his back.
