After taking a break with Akeno just chatting and drinking I spent the rest of the day messing around with my demonic power more. Also spending my time learning regular magic. With my skill and expertise, it did not take me more than a few hours to breeze through the novice rank of Ice Magic.
It was a little weird to include my own demonic power into the magic formula which let me just skip several steps but I managed it.
Now this research allowed me to figure out something, the crucial difference between my Kelvin Catalyst and Ice Magic which is concept.
When using Kelvin Catalyst I am interfacing with water using my mana and then using that connection to transmute and manipulate the water to my whim. It is the manipulation of the natural world to achieve a specific effect.
While Ice Magic is Magic. It creates ice, it can create ice that is colder than it is supposed to be, ice that doesn't behave like how it should, or create Ice that behaves like Ice should. It is magic with the ice as the intermediary. It is the distortion of the natural world to achieve an effect.
My Transmutation leverages the natural world to its advantage needing less power to achieve its effect by utilizing physics. While my Magic distorts nature to achieve impossible effects.
Well, my transmutation is clearly putting in more bang for its buck so why I am studying another school of magic? It's simple.
[Skill Promotion: Transmutation - Intermediate]
Skill Promotion condition: Reach Intermediate rank in:
[O]Ice Magic
[X]Fire Magic
[X]Earth Magic
[X]Wind Magic
It was a slightly annoying condition considering beyond Ice and Earth I had little to no experience in the other magics. I wasn't fiending to reach advanced level before the Riser fight since I was sure of my victory as sure as I am in my manhood. But a power-up would be nice.
After around 8(200 with 25-fold acceleration)hours of studying to reach intermediate level of Ice Magic, I went to sleep to greet the next day.

"Okay Koneko, are you ready?"
Hearing my words Koneko gave me a resolute nod as I passed the pill to her.
That's right. We were doing drugs. Because we are evil!
Nah, we were just about to use my Body Refinement pills. We both sat in the lotus position, me wearing only my briefs while Koneko wore her gym outfit. I could see her eyes occasionally wandering my body, especially my scars but she did not mention them to me.
Nodding to each other, stoically, we both took the red pill. And instantly I could see the discomfort in Koneko's face. I felt it too, our bodies both got heated up, with intense heat and a dull ache settled in our muscles as they were forced to activate and forced under pressure while simultaneously healing.
