Chapter 13: Sparring

"Well I'm glad to see you're interested," Virgil replied

"Stop wasting time and tell me what you know," Raven said launching two spheres of darkness at Virgil

But thanks to his new status boost Virgil was easily able to dodge both orbs.

"Well, first I know your father is Trigon the demon that existed before the big bang. I know that nothing on earth can kill him and that he is immortal," Virgil said dodging Raven's dark orbs and closing the distance

"Then you know he can't be stopped," Raven said launching a large dark raven 

"Yes he can...but first tell me how much do you know about your mother?" Virgil asked activating his barrier and blocking the raven

"She died when I was born I don't know much," Raven replied

"Well did you know that she was a human sacrifice to Trigon so that you could be born," Virgil said walking closer

"What are you talking about?" Raven asked confused

"Yes. Your mother's people chose her to be a sacrifice to Trigon they used to worship him," Virgil said charging at raven

"You're lying...you know nothing about my mother," Raven said flying up

"Really, have you never wondered where your magic came from? It may be similar to your father but that is because of how he taught you to use it but we both know it's not his," Virgil said jumping into the air-catching raven.

"...But what does my mother have to do with this?" Raven asked as a black tentacle reached from the ground

"It's where your mother went when you were born that's important. They are the only ones with information that can stop your father," Virgil said 

As the tentacle reached Virgil he was unable to dodge in the air and it grabbed his foot and pulled him down to the ground.

"What do you mean my mother where did she go?" Raven asked confused

"Shit..." as he was thrown to the ground by the tentacle Virgil activated his barrier before he made contact with the ground

"After you were born your mother was brought to the one place she could hide from Trigon and raise you," Virgil said flipping backward to create distance

"Explain?" Raven said darting at Virgil

"It's a parallel world called Azarath the birthplace of your magic and the place with the knowledge to entrap Trigon. They were to first to Imprison him and the only ones with the means to do so again," Virgil said expanding his barrier and stopping raven

"Then why haven't they come for me or stopped my father?" Raven asked

"Because it was destroyed by Trigon after he escaped and now only a fraction of it remains," Virgil explained

"How do you know all of this?" Raven asked stopping her attacks

"Because I was born there the night Trigon destroyed it I was sent to Earth. I lost everyone I cared about during that attack," Virgil lied 

"...I-I see I'm sorry to hear that. Now I see why you wanted to stop my father," Raven said

"I want to but I can't that's why when I found you I knew I had to get in contact. You are the only one who can stop your father," Virgil added

"Fine but I need you to prove this to me Azarath and the truth behind my mother," Raven said

"I will but it will take some time for now you need to learn to fully control your power. I know you probably hate using his magic but you need to have full control of everything you can do if you want to stop him without things going bad." Virgil said

"...What will you be doing then?" Raven asked changing the subject

"For now I'm working on a way to get back to Azarath," Virgil replied

"Very well...I hope you are not lying I do not wish for false hope," Raven said

"I know you can't trust me but I also need this to work," Virgil replied ending the spar

Once everyone was finished with their sparring Dick and Kori gave them each training program to help them better their abilities. When it came to Virgil Dick was still unsure what to do.

"Virgil I still don't fully understand how your magic works and everything you can do but I am working with John to create something for you," 

"For now you can do your own training. if you improve well then we will allow you to continue but please keep us informed on any changes in your magic or any dangers we have to look out for," Kori added

"I understand...If it's alright with you could I train outside I prefer to train in nature," Virgil lied

"Very well make sure to not learn the tower's property to keep people from asking too many questions," Dick said

"Yup," Virgil said leaving the training room

Once Virgil left the training room Kori and Dick looked at each other. 

"Did you see it?" Kori asked

"Yeah...the last time he jumped the high his magic covered his legs but this time he jumped normally like it was his normal physical abilities,"

"And he changed so much. He was skinny and pale yesterday. But now he looks like someone who has been training for years. And the heat we felt was coming off him I left it last night while I was in the garden," Kori Added

"I will make sure to report this,the kid I hiding more than we know," Dick said

....

{Virgil how do you plan to find or access this world you spoke of?} Sabastina asked

(Well my best bet would be John he is the only world traveler with whom I'm on good terms) Virgil replied

{I see but he doesn't work for free how do you plan to get him to help you?}

(I think I have an idea but I don't know how well it would work) Virgil said rubbing the back of his head)

[A/N: I know some of you were worried that I dropped the book but I didn't I said the schedule would be 3-7 chapters a week and if would were fewer I would Inform you. This is a fun project for me and I still have things in my personal life to do. But thank you for all your support]

Chapter 14: Lab and Blueprints

Leaving the training room Virgil made his way to the garden of the tower. Moving towards the cliff edge Virgil held his hand out and began his training again. 

Just like in the training room, he turned the around him mana into a whip and then activated shock. 

With a full mana reserve and a fresh mind, he kept shock active as he slowly increased the length. It had become easy to gather the mana the main problem now was keeping it stable.

If he lost control for a second the mana he gathered would scatter. Once he reached four and a half meters he felt that he was close to using up all of his mana. 

Not wanting to lose his progress he slowly bent the whip and placed his other hand on the end of the whip. Pouring mana into his other hand he slowly created a second whip.

Since it was much shorter than the other whip it was easy to stabilize and form. With the half-a-meter whip formed and less than 200 mana, Virgil worked on infusing both sides of the whip.

It took some time but he finally connected both ends of the hip creating a full five-meter whip coated in lightning. Once it formed he received a notification that allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.

[Mission Completed: Increase the range of shock by five meters: 5/5: +Magic Gun Blueprint]

[Mission Completed: Learn New Skill: Shock 1/1: +Nano tech Blueprint]

[You have completed all missions]

[Analyzing host...]

[Now new mission suggested for now]

"Finally I finished. That took longer than I wanted it to," Virgil sighed lying on his back

{Host I know you spent a lot of time on this mission but you have to understand that you completed this five times faster than I projected} Sabastian added

"It's probably thanks to the learner's skill. Everything seems very easy because of it," Virgil replied

{I guess but your own skill is still a large factor} Sabastian sighed

As Virgil was talking to Sabastian Dick exited the elevator and walked into the garden.

"So how is it going you have been here for a few hours?" Dick asked

"Good I was able to make a new skill that increases the range of my shock skill," Virgil replied

"That's good to hear. It seems like you are improving well on your own," Dick said

"Anyway, I came here to tell you that all the things for your lab arrived. It's mostly basic things from a 3D printer, welding gear, smelting, and basic other things you may need," Dick explained

"I see thank you very much is it within the tower?" Virgil asked

"Yes. It was placed on the lower floors in an empty room," Dick said walking toward the elevator

"Batman works faster than I thought," Virgil said following behind Dick

"So tell me Virgil why did you ask for a lab?" Dick asked as they entered the elevator

"Simple. I need to make things to improve my magic and also I am an Inventor I wish to create the unimaginable to help others," Virgil said hiding most of his reasons

"I see that's good to hear. Well, I hope you have luck with whatever you're planning," Dick said as they reach Virgil's lab

"As do I," Virgil said leaving the elevator and walking up to his lab door

Reaching the door he walked inside to see dozens of different devices that would help him create the blueprints he got from the system.

{Virgil this lab is also bugged. Working in those conditions will prove annoying} Sabastian sighed

(I guessed that would be the case. Can you hack into the devices?) Virgil asked

{Nope it is a live feed I may able to interact with technology but I have certain limits} Sabastian replied

(That's fine I guess I can't keep everything hidden. Maybe he will get off my case if I can make things to help people) Virgil added

{I guess so}

(Alright can you show me the blueprints for the magic gun and nanotech)

{Sure thing but host but I suggest getting your own computer first that I can upload it to. The computer here is bugged and a random file showing up will bring up questions} Sabastian explained

(You're right can you search the black market for someone willing to sell a computer that can handle what I will need)

{Hmm that won't be easy but I should be able to find one}

(Thank you. For now, I should find a way to get more money. What I have won't be enough to get the material I might need)

{I agree but how do you plan you get the money?}

(For now, I will have to sell blueprints I make. I don't want to sell my nanotech until I have a head start with it.)

{Understood}

(But since I have the lab this should make them think I will be staying for a while but I achieved my main goal)

{Gaining Ravens attention. But you could have gone about this many other ways. Without exposing yourself fully to these people} Sabastian added

(I know but this is the fastest way. I don't know everything about this world. I have to play with what I know not what is a possibility) Virgil replied

{I guess you're right, but I do need to ask you said earlier that you wanted to create things that would help people did you mean that?} 

(Yes I did. People rely too much on heroes to protect them. They can't be everywhere at once. Also if I ever get into a fight with someone who can stop my magic I wish to be ready,) Virgil replied entering the elevator
