4:00 a.m
Loki wakes up and starts his breathing exercises, once he warms up he starts practicing the stances he created to fully utilize his inner energy. Each stance he does makes his inner energy flow smoothly through his body. While he does this he also uses a little bit of his mana and interacts it with his inner energy.
In the beginning, his inner energy and mana were like oil and water unable to blend together, but now little by little he could feel that he could rge them without too much of a backlash.
...
After he was done with his morning exercises the next thing Loki would do was check the list Harold sends him for his next assassination job. It has already been several months since he had arrived in this world and the cri rate in Leim City has drastically reduced.
The minor gangs have either been dealt with by him or have disbanded in fear of him. As for the bigger fishes, Loki had already dealt with most of them and only a few were left, and those few were the largest of the bunch.
'I guess since they're nearing extinction the next thing they would do is gather into a group and help each other. So soti soon they should be setting up so kind of trap for . I wonder what kind of trap they had laid forth...'
Loki then started to visualize nurous scenarios of what could happen once those remaining big bosses fight back.
He already had a good feel of the city and knew most of the paths. There were also his spells that most martial artists would have trouble dealing with. As long as he doesn't face soone at the Grandmaster rank he should be able to do sothing.

6:00 a.m
Loki started to prepare for work as he took a quick bath and after he got dressed he double-checked the equipnt he was hiding. Once he was done doing that he heads downstairs where he could already sll his little sister's cooking.
The three siblings then start eating while having so random conversations. Nowadays Liam would usually talk about his progress in learning the fist techniques he recently acquired. Alisa would also tell Loki of her progress in learning the movent technique she borrowed from a classmate.
...
As Loki and his siblings were about to head to school, they suddenly heard a familiar voice calling them.
"Hey, good morning you three."
Loki sighed as he saw the approaching Shin. It's already been two weeks since he started joining them on their walk to school. During the first ti he ca, Loki, Alisa, and Liam were shocked to see him co by so early. Shin then showed them his house which was surprisingly one block away from the Matsuda siblings.
"Good morning, Shin-aniki."
Over the past two weeks, Liam and Shin's relationship had improved greatly. Liam was fascinated by Shin's way of life. To Liam, the way Shin challenged fighter after fighter to improve his strength was what Liam considered how a true martial artist should act.
"So how is your progress in those fist techniques I lent you?"
"I've been doing great, I can finally do the first three forms."
"Wow, you got great talent kid. If you improve so more you and I could probably start sparring."
"Really?!"
"Of course," Shin was about to ruffle Liam's hair but before he could touch it, Loki had unconsciously grabbed Shin's hand. Everyone including Loki was surprised by what he did, especially Shin. He didn't even notice Loki's movent. As soon as he ca back to his senses Loki quickly let go of Shin's hand.
"Sorry, about that I don't know why I did that."
"No worries, so are you finally ready to fight ?" Shin got excited as his battle intent rose.
"No thank you," Loki quickly rejected him which made Shin feel devastated. He was already so excited he thought that today was the day he gets to fight Loki. Still, he was quick to recover and Shin simply shrugged his shoulders and responded.
"Another ti then."
...
6:40 a.m
Loki arrives in the library alongside Shin who was now considered his assistant. Loki had tried to tell the Principal that a student should attend classes and not just stay in the library all day, but to his surprise, the Principal said that Shin doesn't need to attend any classes. It turns out, Shin and Kira had special exemptions and only need to take the mid-term tests and the finals, aside from that they don't really need to go to school.
The only reason Kira even bothers going to school was to create connections. He was also mostly here for Alisa. Shin, on the other hand, used to co to school and head to class to see how much his peers were improving. Once they reached a certain level he would then proceed to challenge them to a fight.
Yet nowadays he no longer does that instead, he keeps on bothering Loki, for the entire day. Every hour of the day he would challenge Loki to a fight, and of course, Loki would reject him.
Loki could not understand what Shin's plan was or if he even had a plan. He was the complete opposite of the scheming Kira and was too straightforward.
Well, overall Shin wasn't too much of a bother, and after so ti Loki was able to ignore him while he ditates.
...
12:30 p.m:
During the lunch break, Michael would arrive in the library and ask for so pointers from Loki regarding mana. Of course, he doesn't directly say it since Shin was present, instead, the two had learned a ntal link spell from the Spirit. Using this spell once they were a ter away from each other they could communicate telepathically.
Michael had improved greatly in the few weeks since Loki taught him the basics of how to increase one's mana supply. It would seem that even though the Spirit's knowledge was incomplete it was still rather smart and could help Michael improve greatly with just the basics.
Shin also started gaining a bit of interest in the occult because of Michael. After he was done getting advice from Loki, Michael and Shin would start having rather intense conversations about the occult.
Every now and then, Shin would offer Michael to stay in the library, saying that he could pull so strings for Michael to have the sa exemption as him. Michael was rather tempted by the offer, and even the Spirit of the Akashic Records kept on nagging him to accept, but in the end, he did not. Seeing, as unlike Shin who was surprisingly smart and could easily pass the written exams, Michael had no such talent, so he still needed to attend classes.
...
5:00 p.m
Loki would finish cleaning up in the library and would go ho alongside his siblings and Shin. There were also tis that Matsuri would arrive and accompany them, but today was not one of those tis.
What surprised Loki was after the dinner they had as a group, Kira did not force himself to walk with them like what Shin did. He was also expecting Kira to do the sa thing as Shin and buy a house close to them, but to his amazent, Kira did not end up doing that.
...
5:20 p.m
Loki and his siblings arrive at their house and part ways with Shin. Alisa then starts to prepare for dinner.
6:00 p.m
The siblings have their dinner, and while they eat they start talking about their day. Nowadays Liam's stories would usually revolve around his rising popularity in school. Alisa's stories were more of how well she was doing in school. On the other hand, Loki would tell his two siblings about what kind of books so of the students like reading.
It was a rather mundane everyday kind of dinner, nothing really happens, but for so reason, this was Loki's favorite part of the day.
8:00 p.m
Once everyone was in their room, Loki changes into his Fade persona. Loki would then inform Harold of the client he was going to help for the day. Once they make a confirmation, Loki would head to the location Harold choices for him.
