Chapter 12 (2/2)
It was about 6 meters long each.
Shin's eyes glowed with ecstasy at the sight of her wings like a child and a proud smile formed on her face.
The reason Shin was proud of himself was because he didn't need the system to give him the idea to do it or tell him how to do it.
He knew it didn't take a lot of intelligence to think about it and get it done, but he was just happy to know that he could do it on his own and didn't need to rely on his system all the time for everything.
This is the problem that Shin had often noticed in novels and fanfiction, is that the main characters often tend to give all their problems to the system to solve them.
He never took the time to think about it or make the effort to try without his help. Shin could always understand it, they were coming into a new world and they were given an almost omnipotent system so it was normal to use it 100%.
But Shin thought that this way he did not face the normal difficulties that everyone has, they were constantly held by the hand.
Just like a mother with her child, one day the child has to move forward on his own without anyone's help.
The character has to move forward on his own without the help of the system.
Afterwards, Shin didn't say that he should never use it and enjoyed it but just refrain from using it in times when you could do the thing yourself.
In short, Shin was not them and he preferred to follow its resonance.
Shin refocused himself on the subject of wings.
”So, my theory is confirmed”
Since the moment the Shin returned to his human form, he thought that he might be able to get only the members of his body he wanted transformed into those of a Phoenix.
He wanted to control his transformations, his body at 100% and be able to freely change himself into either a human, a Phoenix, or only certain members of his body into a Phoenix.
Shin, seeing his success, closed his eyes to concentrate and try to make his wings disappear.
And after several seconds, they disappeared.
”Now, I'm going to do this until it becomes natural.”
Shin was now going to practice to make sure that he didn't need to concentrate, close his eyes, etc. to form his wings.
That he can take them out without all this preparation, as naturally as possible and in all possible situations.

After what seemed like an hour of practice, he could make his wings appear and disappear whenever he wanted.
”How long did it take?”
[You took an hour, host]
Shin nodded his head satisfied with his performance.
1 hour to learn that when he had only learned to turn into a Phoenix for only about 1 hour and a few minutes, it was from his point of view a very good performance, very fast.
After the wings, he decided to now try to turn his arms into some kind of claws.
He knew the Phoenix had no claws, only claws, but he didn't really want to turn his legs into chicken legs.
That would be very weird and unsettling.
So he thought why not try to wrap his arm in flames to form claws instead of fingers.
Shin moved his arm in front of him and closed his eyes again to concentrate on his arm and feel the heat.
Shin used the same method again and after several seconds he felt his hand wrapped in a great heat.
Opening his eyes, he saw his entire arm wrapped in green flames while the flames at his fingertips were in the shape of sharp, pointed claws but not long ones.
(A bit like ichigo in getsuga tensho ultimate, at the moment he forms the blade, we can see that these hands that are wrapped in ”darkness” have become like claws).
Seeing the result he wanted, satisfied, he began to practice as for the wings.
/ 1 hour later /
”Always the same time?”
[Yes, host]
”Good” Shin nodded with satisfaction and returned his arm to its human form.
He had now practiced the partial Phoenix transformation for wings and claws.
Apart from these two parts, there were no others. He didn't want to form a beak because it would be very weird, the same for the legs so he concluded that he had finished for this part of the training.
His transformation from human to Phoenix was totally mastered.
