54-Episode 20: Separate The Personality Into Two
Hmm??What are you doing in that place?
Master?
As I approached, floating in the air, the trio of Kite, Koofa and Colette were rattling and shaking their bodies, trying to activate their magic.
''That's a line over here!
'Yes, that's right........!?What were you doing at this hour...?
He asks with a mixture of relief and anger.
'What, as you can see, is flight magic training.
As I say it, I bite off a missing piece.
He wakes me up so suddenly, I need to sleep.
'Ku, training!?At this hour...?
It's not too late, is it?
Considering the position of the moon, it's probably another five or six hours until morning.
'No, no, no, no, the date has already changed!
How long do you think you're gonna do this?
In the morning?
Don't tell me you're going to train without sleeping...?
If it was Mr. Arrell yesterday, could it be that every night?
They are stunned, and I deny their mistake.
'No, I'm getting a good night's sleep, too. Seven hours.
''Well Master, I don't know what you mean...?''
They looked like they had several question marks floating around in their heads, and I told them.
'I'm training in my sleep,'
"...what?
I've always had weak mornings.
And I need at least seven hours of sleep every day to be in bad shape.
I don't dislike sleeping, in fact I like it.
But I still thought it was a shame not to be able to do something when I was sleeping.
That's why he came up with the idea of "sleep training".
Of course, we don't train to sleep.
The idea was to train while you are sleeping.
If you can train in your sleep, you can kill two birds with one stone.
You'll be able to use the whole day.
''So, so you're saying that Master was training his flying magic in the middle of the night in his sleep...?''
I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about, but...
Colette, I'm with you...
I was recently training in flight magic as a sleep exercise.
But a few minutes ago I heard a horrendous scream, and as expected, I woke up.
But why are they in this place?
Colette is a student of this academy, so it's not surprising that she's here, but Kite and Kufa are in a different academy.
''What have you been doing here?''
I'm just here to see if you're a ghost!
It seems that Colette mistook me for a ghost when I was floating in the sky at night.
I think I saw something much scarier than a ghost......... What the hell, training in your sleep........
How can you do that...?
It's not that hard to get used to, once you get used to it.
'First you have to separate your personalities into two.
'I've got a hell of a lot of stuff coming from First Step...'
One personality has to sleep and the other personality has to train.
In this way, they can sleep and train at the same time.
'Assuming we can do such a maneuver, does that mean we're sleeping?
Kufa asks in dismay.
'A fair point.
I'm tired and I don't have a problem with it. To begin with, the important part of sleep is the mental part. Even if you stay up all night, if you feel like you had a good night's sleep, you'll regain your strength.
I don't know, but that's a stretch, but...
Anyway, this personality separation method is very useful and applicable.
'I can do two actions at the same time, like building up a magic formula in my head and avoiding the enemy's attacks at the same time. Of course, it also makes it easier for me to activate two magics at the same time.
I only came up with this and started practicing it after I returned home from the Sword City to my parents' house, but thanks to that, I was able to learn the base(s) of the six-color magic(s) in about three years.
If not, it would have taken longer.
''By the way, now, if I wanted to, I could increase my personality up to four if I wanted to,''
'Please don't say something so outrageous again!
Kite exclaims with his eyes peeled back.
'The goal is to be able to hold six personalities for an extended period of time, with a master figure as the command center. This would allow us to handle the six magics at the same time and still be able to respond to events happening in the outside world.
".........
What?
When did the three of you get a masterful look in your eyes?
''No, even if I can't reach my master's level, I'm going to try my best to at least master the magic I'm good at...''
''........Me too. I'm starting to feel like a fool for struggling with just learning a magic formula...
'Well....'
Hmm.
I don't know, but if it's a motivational boost, good for them.
Then the three of them left, biting down on their absent-mindedness.
There's still some time until morning, and I'm sure they intend to take a nap.
''Well, I'm going to sleep too.
But only while training in flight magic.
