UkiBiBa's tips were useless. I decided to try and store ME as he said, but by the time I tryed to use the stored up energy, it seemed to leak out, so I pondered over the thought that my bank may have 'flooded' and as a result the 'excess ME' is leaking out into the atmosphere, leading to why there is such a strong density of ME around me, and then it hit me hard on the head. That was what he meant the entire time! To think I ignored such a point. I understood completely now what UkiBiBa was trying to tell me, and I felt like he was nodding over the horizon, with an afterimage of him saying, "Well done, disciple, well done." or something corny like that. I then looked to Mikasa, and she asked the question once again, "How would you decrease your ratio?" I thought over my answer once more, before finalizing that there was no other way, and if she asks how, I'll also give the logic behind it.
"You see, Mikasa~Sensei, I found out, with the help of UkiBiBa's very, 'awkward' training, that to decrease the ratio of Physical Strength Points : Density Increase , we would need to be in a more 'ME dense' area." and she clapped, seem like I got it right. "Okay, now prove your statement, if you can, that is." and I saw a hidden smile on her face. I prepared for this, however, so I took in a big breath, and said, "You see, Physical Strength Points, ME, and SE are all linked via the body. They all serve different purposes, the ME , for mind, SE , for soul, Physical Strength (PS) for body, yet the only thing that is common with these 3 things is that they are interlinked with the body, so, if you train your SE, for example, it makes your ME sharper, and your PS quicker, and in a way, they are all interlinked. We are currently living in an area with the ME density being 2 points / cubic cm. Now, taking this into account, for regular air, if we are , to, lets say, increase this density, what would happen? Our body will undergo a physical change, and as a result the ME , SE, and PS values will vary, and that will change this ratio. Now, this is very sketchy as well, as an increase in ME density can bring in both changes of ratio by increasing or decreasing, the same is for an ME decrease. Whenever you are making your own ME density, around you, different, then its better for an Increase, however, if your 'tank' is usually empty, it's better to have a lower ME density. In this sense, your body will use less ME to convert into PS, and use less stamina to become PS, and as a result, this ratio that interlinks PS and SE will vary, and , in my case, it will decrease the ratio. If I was to continue on, with my current 'ME Density' , which is 10 points, I should change my ratio from 10:1 , to 2:1 , I think, atleast. Now, Mikasa, can you tell me whether or not what I said made any sense to you, or if it was wrong, in that matter?" and I waiting anxiously for her answer, as she just started into the abyss, as if she was amazed.
She thought for a while, acting like some sort of genius who was going through a breakthrough in science, when she looked at me, with a big smile on her face, and said, "Well then, I only understood two words from that, and that was only from the beginning, and at the end. As I said before, I don't know about this myself, so I'll say..... Pass! When you return back to the normal world, however, if you get the chance, ask Hazen if your explanation was correct, because so far only he and Raizel have mastered this technique , however I also know about the storing ME, and I must say, you have stored quite a bit!" and I couldn't take the faulty praise. "No, Mikasa~Sensei, that is wrong. Whenever I try to store more ME, it 'overflows' and it leaks out, thats why I have such a thick ME Density around me. This happend every since I met UkiBiBa, and that weird lady who's powers depended on mine, maybe the depletion there had a part in this phenomenon , may you tell me, Mikasa~Sensei?" and she shrugged. "Dunno, don't care, but, UkiBiBa did that with all of us, as well. " I then practiced for another month, hopefully being able to master Yartsdra.
A month passed, and I really did nothing, rather than deplete my 'Buffer' into my filled 'Tank' , and continue smashing my wall. A day before the month ended, and was time for the test, I called out Yartsdra, and used my full force on it, and was able to smash through it, like butter, but at the last few metres of Diamond, it stopped, which meant I was increasing in strength at a rapid rate, but not fast enough, but soon my body will be used to the 10 point density, so I had to put in more ME, so this time, I had to focus on increasing my Buffer , and Tank. This was kind of simple to do, because, as I continued to overflow it, slowly, it was increasing in size, kind of like when you eat alot, continuously, soon the same amount will feel to little.
The day has arrived, the day in which I would either cry, or the day in which I will be happy. I kept my buffer full, this time, because I had a seperate strategy, because, I calculated, and I would still need another week before I was able to smash through the diamond, and 3 more days , before I got situated with the 10 point Density. "Well, well, your month has passed, Johnny~Boy, are you ready for your test? This will determine the next things you do in the 6 years we have left, as, its only January 4, we still got plenty of time! Now, this time, rather than doing what you used to do, I myself made my own changes. I made the diamond twice as thick, the platinum 4 times, and I also added a layer of titanium, 2 metres, on both sides. I want you to smash through it all, in one strike, else you know what will happen.
All I hoped was for Plot Armor to save me, and it did, thankfully. I decided to imbed the remaining Mei I had left, into my makeshift Yartsdra, which consumed Yagrik entirely. I know I would have mastered Yartsdra, when it only takes a small chunk of Yagrik. I then, imbedded all my Mei into Yartsdra, and it resonated with power. My hand itself shivered when I held it, and I had to grab it with my other hand, else I would've toppled. Mikasa didn't see that coming, and was rather worried, which I didn't know why, my Mei wasn't that big, atleast, I thought.
I then jumped. and I realized at that moment the damage I would've caused. I jumped three times higher than I intended, and Mikasa herself was amazed, once again. I then drived MakeShift-Yartsdra fully into the wall, and It pierced through it like cheese. At the bottom, the entire floor collapsed, and Mikasa was about to fall into the Void, but the pipe, wihch was still hanging on Mikasa's floor, saved her life. I then repaired the floor when she reached the optimal height, and was truly amazed at what she saw. "Well then... I didn't expect that. Now, for the next 4 years, you will master every single SE you've seen so far. After that, I'll tell you your final task." I then spent a year each, on every single tool, with my ME and PS increasing , day by day, slowly.

After every year, she made the wall three times thicker, yet I still destroyed it, like it was notihng, however, when I used Tou's SE, since it wasn't an attack one, really, more of a support, I had to use my PS , rather than relying on the SE, as it gave more of a speed buff, I decided to go for a speedy thrust. I then practiced with my knuckles hitting the wall, and that increased my PS tremondously, but, I was still only able to go halfway through it, which Mikasa thought was good enough. 4 years passed, and I mastered each of the ones I knew. "Well done, now, for this year, I want you to find an SE, hidden in the MysBox 's personal rift, and you have only a day to master them, if they can't do atleast one tenth of the walls thickness, consider it a fail, however, each of them are weapons, and they all have different methods." she told me, and I was not ready for such a task.
I decided to abide to her task, and I rummaged throught the MysBox, and at the very bottom of it, I saw an incantation written in Ancient Angiil (Angel Tongue) , and it took me to the MysBox's rift, IE Mikasa's personal home, because a true rift is directly imbedded into someone's soul, and can't be given or told to others, unless using necromany, soul possession, or killing them and taking there soul before it rests, which is different from soul possession, which does it without killing the host.
Most of the weapons were ones I were familiar with. There were maces, clubs, wooden bats, scythes, farming scythes, claws, guns, swords, daggers, shuriken, and any other weapon there were. There were also some unfamiliar ones to me, like a weird pile of dirt, which I supposed was magic infused, and it was so, as the dirt shifted into whatever weapon you wanted it to be, and then hardened itself into steel. It taps itself to your SE directly, so it would be a great weapon for Soul Possession, so I was reluctant to use it, however I did, and thankfully, it wasn't cursed.
In the day, I spent 8 hours analyzing the weapon, and its fundamentals, than I spent 4 hours training with it, to get used to it, I spend 10 hours sleeping, and the remaining 2 hours on compiling the data I collected, and using it to its best when it came to pierce the wall. It was especially hard with the bat and mace, because I had to strike it with its sharpest point, which was kind of hard to manoveur to.
Each day I spent, I was able to barely meet the quota, and with that small margin of difference, she accepted it, without hesistation, which seemed weird, because, usually Mikasa would nag on, but she seemed thorougly impressed with me. The year had passed, and all I had left was 11 more months to train, until I had to leave to go back to my own dimension, to show my new found power. I already felt myself resonating with alot of power, and I was much faster too, with more stamina as well. "Now, for your final task, defeat me in a battle."
Now that, surprised me, alot. I never thought she would actually want to fight me. I ignored the thoughts I had that may lead to this, but I humbly accepted. "Alright, when are we fighting?" and she charged towards me, with a dagger in her hand, and she whispered in my ear, "An enemy doesn't tell you when they are going to kill you, do they?" and she stabbed me, but I was able to deflect it, with Yagrik, yet she pierced through the barrier, and cut me, a deep wound. I instantly started healing myself, and my Buffer was emptying. I had to think of something quick, and then I got the idea. I first set up a small barrier, made of Yagrik, which was extremely thick, and made of pure SE, which was much much stronger than titanium or diamond, combined, She seemed cocky at first. "You just signed your death will, no matter, let me end this quickly." and she charged, just as I anticipated.
I then went towards her, and , with the help of Yagrik, stopped her in her tracks, making her immoblized for a few seconds, which was all I need. I then created a Pure Clone, and I had a small piece of Yagrik left, around the size of your average rock found on the beach, which was more than enough. As she came back to her senses, she had to fight with my Pure Clone, which bought me alot of time to prepare the rest of the traps. They were all simple traps , of course, but they lured her into the position I wanted. She fell for each and every one of the traps, being way to reckless. I then caught her off guard, with my Pure Clone attacking her from behind, as she was charging, and I couldn't help myself but laugh at her stupidity, which seemed to piss her off.
She then charged, even quicker, pushing my clone aside, which was her mistake. The pushed body triggered the final trap, a simple pit trap, but the pit was made with spiked bamboo at the bottom, which made her panic, which was just as I calculated. With her panicked, she didn't think clearly, and I was able to grab her with Yagrik, and I used my Pure Clone to stab a wound into her chest, and she yelled in pain, which was instinctive, as I didn't harm her. "I protected you with Yagrik last second, if you were an enemy, you would be dead by now, and the previous wound is healed now, so it's like you have done nothing to me. Now, do I pass?" and she nodded, easily getting out of the grasp of Yagrik, and moving aside my clone, and then, in a jolt , she killed him, with movements I myself couldn't see.
I learned how she did it, almost instantly. "Now, can you do me , one teensy favour? You have 5 months left, so just abide to it, please?" and I accepted. "But no weird stuff, okay?" and she nodded. "Okay, simply say this, 'UkiBaKisa Kimiwakidiba!' okay? " and I listened. I then repeated the words, because I first translated it, I knew it wasn't a curse, but I didn't know what she meant by 'Return Me Back' . I saw her then start to dissapate infront of me, and as she was dissapating, my rift opened up, and my thought was true. She then looked at me saying, "I'm your only familiar, only yours, no one elses, okay? I waited for you, Wellington~Sama, for centuries I've waited for this, thank you." and she came closed to me, and kissed me on the cheek, before vanishing fully into my rift. I felt alone, once again.
I had 5 more months left, so I decided to master her technique of vanishing. The months have passed, I've spent my 20 years now, and I have a big trump card. I then found the doorway out of the CCD , and with that, I went back to my Hell Resort. It felt weird, seeing this place. Hell-Version Cyclops looked at me, saying, "Well , well, seems like you have returned. Wait, what is this power I feel? It feel's like Wellington~Sama has been reborn again!" and my suspicions were coming closer and closer.
As I left, I felt the fresh air of the Human world again. I decided to first check on Hazen. When I entered our apartment, everything was gone, except for two notes. One said, "Sorry, Johnny, I'm out on a war, oh, and you owe the phone guys 3 million yen, *Smiley face with tongue sticking out at the end* " , and the other one was the bill, and my face glowed with anger. "That son of a bitch, Hazen, I'll get you back for this." and I cracked my knuckles, in a sadistic way, ready to give him a pounding. I then reached the World Portal, as instructed in the first note, and saw Hazen duking it off with a few people, so I decided to butt in. I'm just glad he was alright, no matter how stupid he was, it felt better knowing I wasn't alone anymore.
