Ah crap, I need to post, gonna do that shortly.
He could do so after Kendo practice.
And just cause it was hilarious how many times Mike fumbled, ill give the hint at for the special creating a sword of energy that Mike wants its a good thing he is learning the Seishin no Ken, that's all I am gonna say (he could probably ask Keiichi for advice if he wanted to).
Mike finally sort of succeeded (you would have had to get a -10 to get what you exactly wanted, spoiler alert, since Mike doesn't actually have any explicit Mana abilities). Many of the Skills you get also depend upon your character's build. Mike got a more spirit based version of mana manipulation. While it may not let him make fancily shaped mana projectiles (as Spirit Energy, even though it is technically Mana for the gamers, isn't very malleable and this is a Spirit Energy controlling technique), it should still allow him to do several of the things he wants to (including making a spirit sword kinda like Kuwabara's from Yu Yu Hakusho) and it will provide some nice buffs to his spirit techniques (as Mike's current skillset is more based upon Spirit Energy (even though for the Gamers its all MP).
Mike is using Spirit Energy
Ren is using Mana.
Lucian is using both Spirit Energy and Mana.
Sasha is using Mana and Ki
Erica seems to be using just Spirit Energy for now (and even then she seems to be barely using that, just going for physical techniques, which there is nothing wrong with as there are plenty of people in the Abyss who don't really use any form of Energy, like that Armored hunter from before, he didn't use any form of Energy).
and Silas is using just Ki.
while the Gamer power turns it all into Mana, there are still differences in how the Skills work.

After getting up, the first thing Mike did, now that his Stats were all a bit higher, was learn the Skill from the Scroll that Keiichi had given him. Upon touching it once again, as if to use it, he got that same window asking him if he would like to learn the 'Seishin no Ken: Tamashī no Ha' that came up before. Only this time, when he did indeed press the 'yes' button, the scroll began to glow and vanish as glowing, yellow scraps of what looked like ethereal paper flowed into him and through him, the scroll disappearing as he was filled with the knowledge and ability needed to perform the Skill that was described within the scroll. It truly was a strange feeling.
Upon using the Skill Scroll, the following windows appeared once it was gone after a couple of seconds. They stated the following.
After that, instead of fighting Zombies since there was no time since he got up a bit later than he did yesterday, that nasty Plague affect from before having been healed after he woke up, it was time for school.
School (Studying): 3 (Critical)
Mike learned alot in school today as there had been alot to cover. There was even a surprise quiz. And while it may have seemed a bit difficult, Mike somehow remembered everything that was on the quiz, his knowledge really showing through as he could feel as though he aced it, having known the material despite having only been at the school for a few days. After the quiz, and the school day itself as it was in his last period, were over the following windows appeared.
He did indeed feel smarter, and with 8 Knowledge he was now only 2 points away from the requirement for learning the Divination Skill Book, a Knowledge of 10 being the requirement to learn that Skill. After school though came Kendo Club, Mike getting to meet everyone once again now that he wasn't looking like death itself, as the disease did make him look a good bit pale by the end of the day. After being formally introduced into the Kendo club, practice began. Ishimaru was a very good captain and instructor. Despite his incredibly strict, serious, and sometimes spartan ways he commanded and garnered alot of respect, especially with how he treated everyone in the club with the utmost respect and honor, almost like a Samuari of the old days of Feudal Japerica.
Kendo Club Practice (Vit): 83 - 20 = 63
Kendo Club Practice (Seishin no Ken): 88 - 17 Seishin no Ken = 71
Today did indeed feel like an intro day. The senpais of the club were all very experienced. Probably not Abyss Level, but they were good enough to where a good number of them were Levels 2 to 4. Mike lost most of the sparring matches he had with the senpais that day and got tired at several points during the club, but all in all they admired his spirit if anything else, some of them giving advice, or more like Keiichi, that Mike needed to improve his form and speed and also advice such as 'Strength isn't everything' as Mike was probably stronger than all of the senpais here, but would probably learn a lesson that all of the strength in the world didn't even matter if your attacks can't connect, or so one of the senpais mentioned after the practice was over anyway.
So while Mike may not have improved from this practice, he still indeed learned something that day. After that, he went home to spend a bit of time in the evening grinding some more Zombies with the newest of his Skills and Zandaka.
Mike did a bit better than the 8 Zombies that appeared this time, his newly acquired Skill being a good bit powerful to. Unfortunately each Zombie was only giving him 1 XP a piece now, meaning that leveling on these guys was going to take a while. Not only that, but Mike would also discover that grinding these much weaker enemies was also somewhat slowing his Skill grinding as well. Only his newest Skill leveled, and it only leveled once. It was pretty powerful, and grinding it on weak enemies plus its probably slower leveling rate made it a bit difficult to level in this scenario.
After recuperating a bit, Meditation helping recover his lost MP, Mike tried one more time. Mike fought much better this time than the time before against the 9 Zombies that appeared. Needless to say, Mike won and gained one more level at 250 EXP. Now that he was 4 levels above the Zombies though, he would probably have to find a new, tougher enemy to start grinding for XP though. The good news is though that Zandaka, Tamashī no Ha, and Katana Mastery did level up once more, and upon Katana Mastery hitting 10 he got +1 DEX and +1 to his Seishin no Ken Talent.
Other than all of that though, it was a day of decent progress, with the finale of it being Mike attempting to manipulate his Mana.
Mike Focus: 46 - 35 Focus - 6 Spirit Channel Bonus = 5
Mike could feel it working this time. Everything he learned about energy from his practice with the Seishin no Ken helping him in this scenario. He felt as though he had a really good grasp upon controlling his internal energies this time, only instead of Mana, while he was controlling Mana, it felt different than that. Still, he did feel as though he had something good happening as green energy, instead of blue like Mana, began to slowly come from his hands as he tried to control it. While shaping it to his will at the moment felt impossible as the energy didn't really feel malleable, Mike would still feel as though he had control of it as his MP was dropping like a rock in the water.
After a few moments of intense concentration Mike had no choice but to break it, two new windows appearing for him.
That attempt though was thoroughly exhausting, and with it already being quite late, there would be little else to do other than heading to bed lest your parents grow suspicious and worried as to why you are staying up so late.

Alright. Lets see if Mike can succeed.
But right now, accomplishing this will be next to impossible for Mike unless you can come up with a really good explanation on how Mike would accomplish this with the Skills he currently has. If you can come up with it, ill allow it.
Not for this purpose. That is a flow skill, but for creating a mass of energy and bending and manipulating its shape it does not count. I mean, unless you plan on doing something like Kuwabara can do, but you'll have to come up with an explanation on how you accomplish this.
There is a problem with that last thing. Mike has no MP control skills nor any sort of energy bending skills
By the way, you guys don't have to wait for everyone to plan their individual day. If you don't think that you are going to hang with others, feel free to plan either all of your days in a row (after hearing the result of each one) or all of your days at once (cause currently Val and Bio are the only ones who need to give me their plans).
