Training Montage Year 2 + 3
Year 2:
I started off this year with a few intentions. I wanted to learn Legilimency, continue my wizardry magic learning, continue my physical training, I wanted to learn the Patronus charm to get an idea of my Animagus form, and I wanted to begin my potion studies. I have an entire magical plant garden, and I was excited to get going.
*Line Break*
Legilimency was very different from Occlumency. Occlumency only took me a month to get the hang of, Legilimency took me six months!
It was incredibly frustrating. First, I read up on how to do it from the tomes, but reading and understanding how it feels is entirely different.
After a month of trying it on some rats I had Tom get, I got annoyed and decided to take the painful route. I asked my shadow owl to use its ability on me when I was training. In hindsight, I didn't really have to ask.
The damn thing never went a day without trying to enter my mind. Her 'training' if you want to call it that was to establish dominance over any and every Geng*r that exists in my mind.
Anyway, I usually never paid attention to it, so I began trying to understand how she was doing it, and I managed to get the basic idea down.
I practiced on rat's first since they are easy to get my hands on, and I don't have to worry about breaking their minds. It's not animal abuse, its for research!
From there, I had Tom head over to muggle prison's, and get some of the worst scum. It wasn't hard to find out what most of them did. It's 1983, people still use paper files, and every prison has them.
I spread out my search for scummy prisoners, so I didn't attract too much attention, but it still had a hilarious result.
Flashback:
I was sitting in my study, going over some notes when Tom appeared.
"Sir, I may have made a slight mistake, I deeply apologize and will accept any punishment."
"Woah Tom, relax man. What's the situation?"
"Sir, your orders were to gather muggle prisoners and not to be seen."
"And?"
'Seeing an embarrassed Sebas face is a weird feeling.'
He placed a newspaper down on my desk. The front page got my attention.
[BIG NEWS!
MYSTERIOUS BLACK BUTLER VIGILANTE??
Across the globe, a mysterious individual has been sighted on the INSIDE of prisons and mysteriously disappearing with life sentence convicts.
Fellow prisoners in the vicinity have been seen to have extreme reactions to remembering what this man looked like.
One prisoner only had this to say: "I was on the john talking to my buddy when…it...appeared. He just appeared in the room without a sound! The shadows rolled off the guy, I couldn't make out his face but..but… he was wearing a butler outfit… and had those soul-piercing eyes...it felt like he saw directly into me! He spoke with a deep baritone voice and only confirmed my buddies name. Then they were both gone! I know it sounds crazy, but you got to believe me!"
One by one, stories of this mysterious butler in all black have appeared in prisons around the world!
A new yorker had this to say: "What's the big deal? He is going after the scum. *spit* Those shits sit all comfy in their cells, what about their victims? I lost family to scum like that. Good riddance."
A police officer had this to say: "We should not stand by while some vigilante in a costume breaks into the most secure prison's around the world! If he could do it, others could too!"
All interesting opinions but it raises some questions.
What is his motive? Where will he strike next? Is he on the side of justice? Be on the lookout folks for the Black Butler!]
It took every bit of mental strength I had to clamp down on my facial expressions and stop myself from laughing hard enough to damage my organs.
"Tom, how many prisoners have you taken?" I realized I never gave him a number.
"137 sir."
"And they are where?"
"Placed in stasis in the dungeon sir, its family protocol for what to do with enemies."
Placing a hand over my eyes and planning to make sure to get the rest of these 'protocols' out of my head elf later, I sighed and looked back at him.
"Well, I guess congratulations are in order, you did make the front page and all. Now we just need to get you a bat suit."
I laughed at that, but I could see he was upset with the situation.
'He really won't be happy without punishment, will he?'
"Very well, Tom, first I'm stopping my order for gathering prisoners, we have more than enough. Second, you are to allow me to make my own lunch today. Third, you are to go without lunch, but I expect you to eat a full dinner. Is that understood?"
"Of course, sir."
Flashback End.
I had my very own batman! Except, he kind of switched positions with his butler Alfred.
Anyway, it turned out to be a good thing because learning Legilimency was not simple. I kept destroying the minds of my *cough* research subjects. I took me eighty tries to start doing it right, and another thirty to do it without damaging anything.
How did Snape learn how to do this? Did he break the minds of innocent children? No wonder most Hogwarts graduates never showed up again after they left.
For the remainder of my test subjects, I refined my use of Legilimency to the point I'm sure I could get a mind healer's license. You need to learn how to take something apart before you can learn to put things back together.
One other good thing I got out of the experience was exposure to death! I started understanding my minor divinity a bit more, and I created a new ability.
I created night vision by covering my eyes with shadows, but now I had the shadows enter my eyes to allow me to see souls. My house elves had surprisingly pure souls while my test subjects had inky sludge type soul's. I could easily understand it as the level of corruption a person has.
All in all, it was a success.
*Line Break*
Physical training started to pick up this year. I upped my daily workout, but I can only do so much with a small body. Thankfully muscle memory can be a workout on early.
I sparred with Tom in hand to hand combat, and I found some training dummies in the dueling area that are enchanted to fight back.
I used the dummies for weapons practice. I have studied quite a few different kinds in my past life, but I decided to stick to my dual knives for now and work on my speed.
For larger opponents, if I have to fight them, then I found that since my shadow projections were pretty weak, I can pierce my opponent with my blade and extend the shadows into their unprotected insides like a bunch of spikes. I practiced with trees.
*Line Break*
Potions was….unique?
Ok, so it didn't match my fantasy image from endlessly crafting in Skyrim. It actually took a lot more time to finish a potion.
Good news though, when you have a real potions lab, designed for ventilation, protection against backlashes, and REAL instructional books, its actually pretty easy.
You heat up water, add certain ingredients at certain times, and stir the pot in different directions at different times.
It's a lot like cooking, but much more precise. Remember my HUD? Well, it has a clock on it! Handy stuff when your hands are full.
I wanted to mentally bash Snape for his dramatic and awful teaching style. Still, perhaps the guy started off teaching seriously, only to get frustrated with the incompetence of wizardry children and turned into that broody Uchiha emo.
Anyway, potions was a lot of fun, I had special plans for certain types.
*Line Break*
With my more in-depth understanding of how mana works, I decided to learn only two kinds of charms and spells. Useful ones, and ones that are taught in Hogwarts. It was going to make my life a lot easier.
A few useful charms were:
Dancing Feet Spell (Tarantellegra) (Because wouldn't it be funny to throw this at your enemy.)
Disarming Charm (Expelliarmus) (Useful against weak opponents, it can be resisted with a strong body.)
Engorgement Charm (Engorgio) (I was hoping it was a space-related spell, it's not.)
Freezing Charm (Immobulus) (similar to a stunner, but it can be used on inanimate objects.)
General Counter-Spell (Finite Incantatem) (always good to know in this world.)
Memory Charm (Obliviate) (One of the most useful spells around, if you have practiced Legilimency, you can do it without harming the recipient.)
Tickling Charm (Rictusempra) (laughing is fun right? laugh until you can't breathe and keep laughing. Underused torture spell.)
I picked up a few others for school and started on transfiguration. It's an excellent subject to do wandlessly.
It was when I was practicing transfiguration outside the mansion that I discovered something that I could never imagine.
Flashback:
I wanted to practice making furniture with trees since they are commonly used for such a purpose. It makes it easier to do when it's something your more used to.
I entered the tree line outside my mansion, and when I was a few trees into practicing, I turned a particular tree into a desk.
"What the fuck…."
The desk was fine, it was what was behind the tree that shocked me.
Sitting on a tree stump was Bron, my house elf I don't see very often by himself. He usually appears with his brothers.
The only problem was what he was doing. He turned in my direction with a deer caught in the headlights look in his bloodshot eyes.
"Are you smoking weed?"
"My lord! *cough* *cough* this isn't what it looks like!"
"And what does it look like?" I gave him a flat stare.
"This…this is…..I'm testing this substance for poison my lord!"
"Didn't we finish this last year?"
"It's a different strain my lord! I can't allow a new type of this spice to go untested! I must protect you from any source!"
'I have a pothead house-elf, what is wrong with my life…'
I turned around and started walking away. 'Let's have Tom deal with this.'
Bron shivered while looking at my back. "My lord?"
'Not my problem, just keep walking, oh look at that, a bird.'
Flashback End.
I don't know what the result was other than Bron getting extra sparring lessons with Tom for a month. I still catch him sometimes with bloodshot eyes, but for the most part, I ignore it as he hasn't caused any problems.
*Line Break*
I had to give novels that describe the Patronus charm some credit, It was incredibly annoying to learn. You don't just go to your happy place, and boom, massive world-destroying charm.
No, you need to bring up the most potent positive emotion you can, which was not difficult for anyone with enough occlumency training. Then you have will that emotion to take form.
How does one will emotion into the physical world?!? It took me close to seven months of shooting out white sparks, and wasn't that just so motivating, before I managed it.
The only problem was that the form it took wasn't entirely clear. I could tell it walked on four legs and was quite massive in size. It stood at close to ten feet tall, and I could make out a tail.
The face, body details, and anything that could tell me what it was, was missing.
I got an interesting Alert at the time. It said:
Alert:
Animagus form unlocked! Step 1 complete. Step 2 unknown.
Now wasn't that some useful information, right?
After all my effort, I had to sideline this project.
*Line Break*
I debated sending Tom over to Gringotts to invest in muggle companies. I didn't really care about muggle money since I have a massive amount of pure gold, but there was something I did want.
I wanted my music player back. You don't realize how much a device that plays the music you enjoy is worth until it's gone.
Now I had a few problems. First, aside from classical and jazz, most of my modern-day music doesn't exist in this world yet. Second, technology is not that far. Third and most importantly, I'm leaving this world by 1994 at the latest.
So, I could attempt to speed up the production of technology, which would take a long time, or I could make a spell to play music from my memories.
Seeing as how I'm on a magical island with an incredibly extensive magical library, I chose option number two.
I still need that book scanning spell!!!
*Line Break*
Finally, around new year's, I realized something. I have a lot of cool spells and abilities, but my mana pool is quite low. After a year and a half of different projects, I'm only looking at 370/370.
I decided to hold off on other projects, and aside from practicing three times a week to keep up with everything I had been doing, plus eating and sleeping, I was going to devote my time to expanding my mana pool.
How did I do this? Well, it was quite simple.
I laid down in my bed in the master bedroom and created my Shadow puppet clone. Together with it, my owl and my Kneazles. I Infiltrated every Magical beast habitat I had found through the shadows.
When it comes to my summons, I have a limited amount I can hold, so I wanted to make sure I get the ones I liked. And I wanted it done quietly.
This way, I could get my summons, and I could continuously drain my mana and have it refilled in my mana rich mansion. My mana pool rapidly expanded.
I kept this up for the rest of the year and well into the next one.
Year 3:
Its been ten months since I started my mana pool expansion plan. I'm halfway through my third year and looking back, it was one hell of an experience. I made two raids for magical creatures in this time.
I spent the majority of my time increasing my mana by just having my puppet moving across the world to study the magical beast habitats and decide what I wanted.
There is a lot of magical beasts in this world. My criteria were for those who work great in a group or who were massively powerful or unique.
In the downtime, I was mentally creating a few spells, like my music spell. It took me a while, but I figured it out. I just had to conjure a speaker and use the trick by taking memories out of my head for a pensive that dumbledore loved doing, and placed the memory of the music into the speaker. It took a bunch of adjustments, but it worked!
One day I hope to learn enchanting and make a more permanent solution.
I worked on a few other projects in my mind, but they are not ready to be useful. My magical beast raids were fun to re-watch in my mind.
Flashback:
Northern Iceland: Giant Tribe:
It took me a long time to find the right-sized Giant tribe. They keep moving around, and their numbers are all over the place on account of their extremely violent tendencies.
In this world, a giant is a massive humanoid magical creature that can potentially grow to approximately twenty-five feet tall and appear to be a large human.
They are big, harry, not as stupid as a troll but still dumber than a child, and slow.
There was a big reason I wanted these guys, and that was because they make the best tanks for my small army. Giants have extreme mana resistant skin, and immense strength, and stamina. They were perfect for the position.
Appearing from the shadows of a tree, I rose up in my puppet body along with my kneazles. I looked at them before speaking.
"You guys remember the plan, right?"
They nodded their heads and quickly ran off. The plan was simple.
Using their abilities of detection and concealment, the kneazles would plant a set of 8 ward stones I found in the family vault around the tribe in a circle. The ward was a barrier that hid the area you covered. It hides sight, sound, smell, and it can't be seen by the naked eye.
I wanted this done quietly without attracting attention from anyone in the area.
From there, I had to sneak around the area through sight-based shadow apparition and plant a specific potion I made from a recipe I found, throughout their encampment.
'What the hell is wrong with these guys?!? Haven't they ever heard of a bath? If I wasn't about to kill them all, I would dump them in the ocean. That one is chewing on his toenail!'
Finishing my work, I quickly left the area and gathered with my kneazles. I had a spell set on the lids of all the potions to pop open when I gave the command.
'Now.'
Nothing happened.
'Now.'
Nothing happened.
I pulled out a wand.
'Now.'
It worked.
'I guess my wandless magic casting can't cover this distance. Maybe I should look into a more powerful focus? Maybe later, I'm busy right now."
A light purple mist spread throughout the camp, and all the giants started screaming.
You see, due to their magic resistance, most types of magic and potions won't work on them. One thing I found that works is mental manipulation by entering their orifices.
My potion is a mental compulsion type that enters through breathing. Once they inhale enough of it, their already violent tendencies will be enhanced, and they will see each other as enemies.
The result was a beautiful bloody fight to the death and a lot of craters. I almost got crushed by a torn off finger!
Unfortunately, no plan goes without any complications. Mine was that the leader of the tribe was too strong to take down and ended up being the last one standing. SHE was very violent.
She started lashing out at everything in sight, and I had to make sure she didn't pass the ward stones. It blocks the senses, but you can still walk through it.
You ever play whack a mole? Because I summoned my 5 knight grunts, and everyone played that game. My knights were the mole, and the giant was happily whacking them.
Then they rose back up, and it repeated.
'Shit, my mana is dropping fast, I have to hurry this up.'
I rushed over to the giant corpses and quickly began extracting shadows.
"Extract." Shadow Gained
"Extract." Shadow Gained
"Extract." Shadow Gained
"Extract." Summon Failed
"Extract." Shadow Gained
"Extract." Summon Failed
"Extract." Shadow Gained
"Extract." Summon Failed
"Extract." Shadow Gained
I failed for three of them, but I didn't have time, so I sent all the new shadows to attack. With seven giants ganging up on one, the game was reversed, the Tribe leader became the mole.
*sigh* 'If that giant stormed off, I wouldn't be able to stop her without attracting attention. No one would let giant shadowy figures who can take down a giant go without causing any problems.'
I threw the bodies into my inventory, walked up to the tribe leader, and extracted it before adding its corpse and moving on.
"Extract." Stage 2 Shadow Gained
Flashback End.
That was my first raid. I found out my shadow extraction can fail. With my consciousness distracted by rushing and extracting all the shadows in short order, three of the giants departing souls were able to fight off the extraction. It was a good learning experience.
The second raid was much more intense:
Flashback:
Russia: Siberia
Here I am in the middle of the snow-covered mountains of Siberia, trying to make sure I don't freeze my boys off. Why am I here again? Oh, right, for Direwolves.
'It took me way too long to find these guys, I need to make sure I don't mess up.'
Direwolves are literally giant magical wolves with a much more lethal skillset then werewolves.
The best adjective to describe a Direwolf is "scary." This pack-animal is a cunning and brutal predator, capable of taking down prey of nearly any size. In addition to being a vicious hunter, it is the size of a small horse, meaning even the largest predators aren't necessarily safe from the packs.
It's different in individual worlds, but in this world, a werewolf is just a human with a disease that takes away their intelligence for the instincts of a starved animal that wants to lash out at everything. Yeah, they are enhanced with strength, speed, stamina, a healing factor, and few other things, but guess what?
If you enhance a soldier, who has been trained, then your in for one hell of a ride. But, if you enhance a frail bodied wizard? You get a slightly above average soldier with no training. It's pathetic, and it's a magical disease, so it only affects those with at least some magic in them.
Direwolves on the other hand, are intelligent, fast, not as strong as giants, but they could match a troll, have magic resistant fur, and are some of the best trackers in the world.
I found a pack of them, four Direwolves plus an alpha, and I wanted them.
My plan was once again simple. Set up the ward stones, plant the mental compulsion potion, and have the giants encircle and clean up the rest.
'Set up the ward stones, check. Plant mental compulsion potion, check. Have an intense staredown with the alpha, chec….wait what?!?'
Standing not ten feet from me was a large pure white wolf with glowing turquoise eyes, turquoise blue bright lines that travel from head to tail, really sharp looking claws and fangs, and a height that beats my current self of four foot seven. Did I mention really sharp looking claws and fangs? And it's studying me like a chew toy.

'FUCK! How crazy is this guy's instinct?! I don't give off any sound or smell as a shadow puppet! Did he notice danger from a shadow? '
Using my occlumency, I quickly made a mental checklist and decided to act.
'I'm still using my shadow puppet, I should be fine. I hope this works better this time. NOW!'
I sent a massive pulse of mana into the spell to activate the potions and dove for the ground as fast as I could.
Thankfully I moved fast enough because where my head was a second ago is the current location of really pointy teeth. I used the shadows to get some distance and called out my giant's.
I can do anything my body can in my puppet without worrying about dying, but I can still feel pain!
I planted the giants in the shadows of trees around the area so they could encircle the Direwolves, but now they have to buy time. The potion didn't seem to take as fast of an effect on these guys, and they attacked as a team.
If my giants could get a hit in, they would do a lot of damage, but they were far to slow. Thankfully they bought enough time because the wolves started to lash out at each other. Only the alpha stood firm, he didn't even look affected with how calm he was.
When the last wolf went down, he disappeared in a burst of speed, and four of my six giants instantly went down.
I didn't panic. I studied my opponent and understood it must have been an ability unique to the Direwolf race.
I called out my trump card. My first stage 2 summon. The tribe leader giant, Erza.
When a summon reaches stage 2, it can receive a name. This female giant won a free for all battle with nine others and still took the single focus attention of six shadow giants to get taken down.
She is a monster warrior who can cause fear with just her eyes, Erza was the first name that came to me.
Erza roared and got the attention of the alpha. After a short staring match, they quickly went at each other.
'What's with this feeling? It feels like I'm trying to become a pok*mon master. Should I yell out command phrases for Erza? No, that's stupid, she knows what she's doing. I'll grab the other shadows while they are busy.'
Running over to the Direwolf corpses, I quickly extracted them, but with more care, so I didn't fail this time.
All four were a success, and I sent them after the alpha.
Between Erza's strength, the giant's encirclement, and the new Direwolves joining the fray, the alpha went down.
'It still took around an hour of intense combat, I'm almost drained of mana, I got to step up my physical training.'
Extracting the alpha's shadow and storing its corpse, I got the option to name it.
'if this guy wasn't a stage 2 shadow, I would think it was a mythical creature. Speaking of which..'
I got a fun idea and decided to name him Fenrir. Why not, right?
"Ok, let's go home. Maybe I'll focus the physical side of things for a while and take a small rest."
Flashback end.
After that fun experience, I stopped to rest and realized I have been going strong for two and a half years now without kicking back and relaxing. So, with my new numbers, I just had them chill out on the island to keep burning mana, while I continued working out my body and taking the rest of the time to read and enjoy life casually.
I did this for the rest of the year. I didn't dive into new things but just made some potions to pass the time, relaxed in the hot springs, sparred a bit with my house-elves, and played around with my summons. I had Fenrir, and his pack go out on a special mission though.
"Sitting in the sun with a cold drink and a nice book. This is the life."
'If only my damn prideful owl would stop staring at me! I don't even know what her win/loss ratio is at this point.'
I put my book down and looked up.
'Next up is Azkaban.'
All Summons:
As a summon, they will always return and be reborn from your shadows should they be killed. As a summon, they will always be able to reach you through your shadow no matter the distance, space, or time.
