Six months passed, I was able to control and strengthen my mana and reiatsu (Spiritual Pressure) manipulation without anyone's help. Even though it is just manipulating mana and not how to use it as it is.
My body also became stronger as I circulated mana throughout my body and in return, I gained more mana to circulate. It repeated several times in the last six months, but recently stopped changing my body. It seems like I have to grow old to continue this body strengthening.
To find out my strength, I did some tests on my muscles and bones and the results, to measure, I was able to compete with ten large-bodied adults in tug-of-war, not because I tried it, just a guess.
As for merging my physical and spiritual body, I was trapped. First of all, because of a wounded soul, I cannot do anything reckless until it is completely healed unless I want a hidden danger that can flare up in the worst of situations. My soul recovers at a faster rate every day. How did that happen? Because of this cheating Hougyoku, it's not like I hate him because it's mine.
Hougyoku followed and granted the wishes of the heart around him and it only heard my desire for a faster rate of recovery. Hougyoku is broken and cannot grant wishes as easily as Aizen does. Despite this, it is still the most powerful item I know. Just by giving him enough time, he can make anything happen, maybe.
My kidou (Devil Art) training also did not go as well as I wanted. If I want to use it without separating my body and soul, I have to use mana to channel my reiryoku through my body, consequently, my reiryoku will be mixed with mana and kidou will not be active well. Combining mana and reiryoku together proved more difficult than I expected. With this problem, I can only use spells number 30 and below in Hadou (Destruction Road) and Bakudou (Binding Road). I don't do it if it's enough for my safety because I've never fought anything abnormal.
I needed more training, but I could only do it every night and in a place without eyes and ears. I am not in a hurry or in danger. I want to enjoy my second life to the fullest unless my curiosity arises, and that will probably happen in the future by getting to know me.
Of course, it's not me without my trusted gadget. I've remade my portable Gigai (Body Faux). I can't do it without them, it doesn't taste good. I also added some nice new features, an aura copier, and an A.I. From my observation, the supernatural beings in this world can detect the aura to determine one's location, race, and strength to some extent. An aura copier, as the name suggests, can copy the target aura for a few seconds to a few minutes. Those few seconds were enough to confuse and deceive someone in battle and turn the tide for one's good.
The second is A.I. for simple actions like walking, running, jumping, or even facial expressions. I can't let my Gigai stand on the spot while imitating someone's aura, it's too fake.
I have also already remade my Reiatsu cloak, although I should call it now an aura-hiding robe as it is able to hide one's aura and mimic the flow of energy around it to hide 'empty space' created by hiding the aura. It still could not hide the voice and vision.
Now move to Benihime. These few months, I kept diving into my soul to knock on the door of an old Japanese mansion. Inside this mansion is Benihime, my Zanpakuto. I kept knocking on these doors in hopes of waking them up but not once did I succeed. I knew he was inside because I could feel it, but it seemed like he also received some damage from reincarnation and not a small damage because my connection to him was almost non-existent. I hope I can see it soon. Despite his bad and sadistic personality, I still miss him because he has been there for me all the time throughout my life, an irreplaceable partner. He was also probably the one who instilled the Hougyoku in me in an attempt to save my life.
