I take a deep breath and get down from the tree. Right now, I'm doing a control exercise like the one in Naruto. While it sounds weird doing an exercise that is intended for chakra but if it was working, why not do it?
Not only is this exercise working, but it is also a good exercise to increase my Demonic Power reserve.
While I cannot control pure demonic power just yet, I'm getting there. I think after doing the Water Walking exercise, I can control a pure demonic power. It took me a year to control my demonic power and let me climb to the top of the tree.
Yeah, it was a long time, I know. I'm not some genius like Ajuka or Sirzechs.
It takes me another year to stay upside down on the tree indefinitely. Not only that, now I can cast another spell without losing my concentration and still stick upside down on the tree. In these past years, I also got to know my elemental affinity. Just like other Phenex clan members, I have a massive affinity toward Fire elements. However, I have a second affinity. I have a second affinity toward Wind.
"Young master"
I snap from my thoughts when I hear someone calling me. I look to the side and see one of the maids calling me.
"What is it?"
"Dinner is almost ready, young master."
"Ah! Got it. I will go to my room and take it back now."
Before the maid could say anything, I ran away from the training ground leaving the maid having a disappointed face. The reason why I got away from the maid? I did not want to be washed by them.
For some unknown reason, the maid is really eager to wash me in the bathroom. Not only that, but they also decide to wear skimpy swimsuits. When I asked my father about it, he only said that the maid wants to be promoted.
It looks like if I like the maid enough, I can make her into my personal maid that I can order around. This personal maid will fulfill all my needs, from food to warming bed. So yeah, a personal maid is someone that will go to your bed if you want them to do so.
While I want one of those maids in the future, right now? No, thank you. I'm still four years old, dammit! While there is no crime against having sex with an underage individual in the underworld, as long as both parties are okay with it, I still cannot comprehend having sex when I'm still four years old boy.
There is also the problem that little Riser is still a hatchling.
Anyway, as I arrive inside my room, I start to lock my door and begin to undress.
~Thirty minutes later~
"How is your training, Riser?"
I look at my father, Raymond Phenex, smile a little, and say.
"It is doing fine, father. Now I can cast a spell while standing upside down from the tree."
"Really? That is good. Good work"
"Thank you, father."
"Speaking of training, Lord Beelzebub wants to meet you."
"Really? What for? I need another two years before I can get my own Evil Pieces, right?"
"About your method of training."
"Huh?"
"Lord Ajuka wants to know about your method of training. He is interested in your method of training."
"I don't really mind. When will we meet Lord Beelzebub?"
"Tomorrow morning. We will go at 6 am as Lord Beelzebub's time is precious, so he make room for the meeting cutting off some of his resting time which is already very short. So sleep early so you can wake up early."
"Yes!"
"Good."
I continue to eat the food served on the table. While I heard my mother became the mother of the year because of how she gave birth to three sons.
It is known throughout the world that devils have a small chance of pregnancy, and the prime example was Gremory and Sitri houses who concived nearly after Five hundred years.
When they hear about my mother, who up until now have three children in four hundred years, underworld news decides to crown her as the mother of the year.
Three children is a big number for the devil couples.
But if I have to guess, the main reason lies with both of my parents being from Phenex clan and our clan trait, Regeneration.
But what will underworld news do when she would become pregnant with Ravel in future?

|Ajuka Beelzebub POV|
I nodded my head while writing all the child's methods in front of me uses in his training. The more he speaks, the more I know that another prodigy has been born. His methods are something that has never been seen before.
While a devil is a strong race, they did not want to train. The sin of sloth is deeply engraved in their genes. They still cling to the old way, and because of this, there are too many devils dependent on their inheritance power instead of improving in other fields of power.
Even when they are too dependent on their inheritance power, they did not improve it and make it evolve. Take the four Satan, for example. We train our inheritance power to the point it evolves into something more.
Sirzechs power of destruction is so powerful he can destroy souls. He became the incarnation of destruction.
Serafall water control becomes so powerful; she can freeze an entire island in a blink of an eye.
Falbium defense is so powerful that he can sleep in the middle of Heaven and not get any pain from it. Not only that, but he also can reverse his defense into an absolute attack that devastates his enemy.
As for me, I have become a mathematical creature. Using my clan trait High-IQ to calculate equations and formulas, I can control the world around me .
We achieved all of this because we trained our body and power to the limit and broke it. However, the other clan head did not see it like that. They see us as a lucky individual that was born with power.
While yes, that is true, we also train ourselves to the limit.
It has been a long time since I saw a person want to train their body and power to the limit like Riser Phenex over here. I already know about his massive reserve, and I must agree with Lord Phenex to conceal it from being publicized.
While at the age of four, he achived demonic power comparable to a middle-class devil. This feat alone can tell that he is destined for greatness.
There will be too many people who would want him dead, from the outside and even from the inside underworld.
"I see. That is really interesting. We already used to fly, so we sometimes forgot to use our feet."
"I know. When I do this training method, many servants say that I don't need to do all that because the devil can fly. Why do we have feet if we cannot use them?!?"
"Quite right. Because of our longevity, we too stuck to our old ways and did not think of a new way to train our body."
"Yup."
"Is there any other training technique other than this?"
"I don't really think that ahead of time. However, I have an idea to split a small waterfall using only my demonic power, and I will try to maintain it."
"Vertically?"
"No. Horizontal."
"That means you will cut the waterfall right in the middle?"
"That is right. I will then try to maintain it."
"With the water falling to the ground, it will constantly disturb your control over the demonic power. So this method not only increases your control over your Demonic Power but also increases your concentration."
"Yup."
I see. It sounds simple, but it is a hard thing to do. You not only need to focus on splitting the waterfall using your Demonic Power, but you also need to maintain it. Too much? You will create an explosion. Too little? You can't split the waterfall.
That is a really good training method.
"Anything else?"
"Well, it's not a training method but rather a idea. It's about centralize the mission catalog for devils."
"Interesting. Care to explain in more detail?"
"Of course. It's like this... " Riser carefully told me about a centralized system that can be used by all devils using their phones. Noble houses and devils council can post missions here and any devil can choose mission from the mission catalog. After completion, appropriate contribution points / money can be deposited in to the working devil's account.
Also about noble houses posting their mission in internal or external section. Meaning, devils affiliated with the said noble house can choose a mission from internal section and any devil from any affiliated noble house can choose mission from external section.
There is also special type commission, where a noble house wants particular someone to take the mission.
After completion of the job, the reward contribution points or money can be allocated to the working individual devil.
"Fascinating! Do you have some more ideas like these?"
"Nothing at the moment, Lord Ajuka. That is all I can think of."
"Hmmm. Very well. You have done well. I will send a gift to your house for these training methods and as for the idea, I owe you a favor personally."
"Thank you Lod Ajuka."
"Alright, off you go and don't forget to inform me if you come up with new training methods or ideas like these again."
After sending off Riser I came back to my lab. While my subordinates greeted me, I ignored them and walked away, and focusd on the technique in front of me.
This technique can be used for military training, after all. I chuckle a little as I can see Falbium's face when he learns that he needs to get to work because of this training method.
There is nothing more pleasant than making a sloth devil get to work.
As for the idea the young Phenex think of, if I succeed to recreate his vision into reality, then this will change the whole working principles of the underworld.
