(General POV)

 

For the next several days, Aiden's life unfolded like a cinematic montage, each day blending seamlessly into the next as he delved into a routine of rigorous training and relentless exploration. 

 

From the ungodly hour until the late hours of the night, he threw himself wholeheartedly into his pursuits, driven by an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and self-improvement.

 

Mornings greeted him with the clash of fists and weaponry as Wonder Woman pushed him close to his limits. With each training session, she instilled in him the importance of resilience and perseverance, urging him to test the boundaries of his physical and mental capabilities. 

 

Her mantra was clear: to challenge him enough to foster growth, but never to the point of breaking him. It was a delicate balance, one that Aiden embraced wholeheartedly as he strove to elevate both his strength and fortitude with each passing day.

 

Gradually adapting to the training dynamics, Aiden began to grasp the honor bestowed upon him by the opportunity to train under Wonder Woman's tutelage. Her lectures on the nuances of bias versus perspective resonated deeply with him, offering insights that transcended mere combat techniques.

 

While Wonder Woman demonstrated her formidable skills, Aiden sensed that she held back, never revealing the full extent of her abilities. This deliberate restraint served as a constant reminder of the vast room for improvement that lay ahead. 

 

With each training session, Aiden pushed himself to new heights, harnessing the power of morphing to enhance his agility and endurance in sparring bouts. Through relentless experimentation with an array of weapon constructs, he honed his combat prowess, exploring the boundless potential of his constructs.

 

Yet, amidst the exhilarating progress, Wonder Woman emphasized the importance of discipline and focus. She underscored the value of specialization in weaponry, urging Aiden to master a select set of weapons and techniques while encouraging creative diversification. 

 

By maintaining a balance between precision and adaptability, Aiden learned to approach combat with a strategic mindset, prepared to face any challenge with poise and purpose.

 

Furthermore, Wonder Woman sparked Aiden's curiosity with a question that led him to discover another construct technique within his arsenal.

 

"Can you conjure multiple constructs?" she inquired, prompting Aiden to nod in affirmation as he demonstrated with a flurry of arrows.

 

"Very well, but I refuse to believe that your imagination is so confined," Wonder Woman remarked, her disappointment evident, much to Aiden's chagrin.

 

Wonder Woman's words lingered in Aiden's mind for hours, compelling him to seek clarity by heading to the beach for training. He was determined to understand exactly what she meant by suggesting that his imagination was confined.

 

As he contemplated his abilities with weaponry, Aiden focused on his skill with a bow. He considered it a manifestation of multiple constructs, a notion justified by the mechanics of how the bow and arrow worked.

 

To shoot arrows, Aiden would first create a bow construct. Then, for each arrow he wished to fire, he conjured an Eldritch construct. Simply shooting multiple arrows simultaneously was a tangible implication of employing multiple constructs.

 

Despite his efforts, Aiden found himself unable to decipher Wonder Woman's cryptic remark, leaving him frustrated and perplexed with each passing minute.

 

It was during a conversation with Aqualad that Aiden finally found the breakthrough he needed to understand the true extent of his construct abilities.

 

"What can you do with constructs, currently?" Kaldur's question prompted Aiden to reflect on his capabilities.

 

"Despite my abilities with constructs being seemingly boundless, two techniques are clear. I can materialize energy into anything I want, then morph it into something else without dissipating it," Aiden explained, summarizing his current understanding.

 

"Good," Kaldur nodded in understanding, having witnessed Aiden's prowess with constructs firsthand.

 

"And those two techniques apply to every construct you create?" Kaldur probed further, seeking clarification.

 

"Correct," Aiden affirmed.

 

"Show me your bow and arrow once again," Kaldur requested, and Aiden readily manifested the bow.

 

"As you have told me, for every construct, you can materialize it and morph it," Kaldur surmised. "Which means, if you were to produce multiple constructs, the same techniques should apply for each construct you create."

 

"Once you shoot the arrow, try morphing the flying arrow into a different weapon, and the bow into a distinctly different weapon from the arrow's morph, all at the same time," Kaldur instructed with precision, his guidance aiming to push Aiden's understanding of his construct abilities to new heights.

 

Having attempted it previously, Aiden was skeptical. "Well, that doesn't work. If I try to morph the arrow while it's mid-air, the bow disappears, and my intended creation appears in the position of the arrow. Similarly, if I morph the bow, the arrow in the air disappears without reaching its target."

 

"Let me demonstrate," Aiden offered, determined to illustrate the issue. He drew back his Eldritch bow and released an arrow.

 

With a swift motion of his Sling Ring, he morphed the bow into his current favorite, a staff he fondly called Ruyi Bang, inspired by the Monkey King's weapon. Ruyi Bang materialized in place of the bow, but at the cost of the arrow. Repeating the process with a flying arrow, he watched as Ruyi Bang formed in place of the arrow, causing the bow to vanish.

 

"See," Aiden said, hoping to clarify his predicament to Kaldur.

 

"Well, that refutes your assertion that you can use multiple constructs," Kaldur concluded. "You don't truly possess multiple constructs until you can materialize and morph each of the summoned constructs independently," he elaborated.

 

"But your demonstration provides insight into how you might achieve that ability," Kaldur added thoughtfully.

 

"Please don't be cryptic," Aiden muttered repeatedly under his breath, his frustration mounting with each passing moment.

 

"It's merely theoretical, but the way I see it, for you to use multiple constructs, you need to split your energy for each construct," Kaldur elucidated.

 

Aiden couldn't help but let out a sigh of exasperation. "And there he goes, making it even harder to understand," he muttered to himself.

 

"The bow and arrow are grounded to the same energy unlimit when you create them. Hence, what happens to the bow affects the arrow. But if you manifest the bow and arrow with distinct energies, they will be independent from each other, making morphing the arrow without affecting the bow possible, and the vice versa true," Kaldur explained patiently.

 

"I believe the real lesson here is simply learning how to split your Eldritch energy into separate energy limits," Kaldur added, his tone reassuring. "Energy unlimit being your raw Eldritch energy, which is arguably vast. And energy limits referring to the limited energy confines of each construct in a multiple constructs scenario."

 

"Energy unlimit... energy limits," Aiden pondered on Kaldur's words, grasping his theory slowly as it began to sink in.

 

"Doesn't that mean that I would be limiting my constructs by splitting and confining my energy to a limit?" Aiden inquired, seeking further clarification.

 

"If that's how multiple constructs were to work, then yes," Kaldur agreed. "But I believe that with practice, everything can be improved to become better."

 

"And if you think about it, multiple constructs will also improve your discipline on how you use your energy, while giving you a diverse way to outperform your adversary in times of battle."

 

"I understand your logic, and it makes sense," Aiden responded, feeling a weight lift from his chest as clarity dawned upon him.

 

"Do you think you can do it?" Kaldur inquired with curiosity, his expression reflecting a genuine interest in Aiden's potential.

 

"Yeah, I know I will do it," Aiden replied confidently, a smile playing on his lips as he felt a surge of determination. "I just needed that enlightenment. Thank you, Kaldur."

 

"You're welcome," Kaldur accepted graciously. "But remember, my surmise was only theoretical."

 

"Yes, but all the Master of the Mystic Arts needs is theory," Aiden remarked with a grin, his confidence unwavering as he embraced the challenge ahead.

 

"Do you think you will try it?" Aiden asked Kaldur, sensing an opportunity to extend his knowledge and expertise to his teammate.

 

"Multiple constructs," Aiden clarified at Kaldur's puzzled expression. "You're a constructs user too. I think you should give it a go."

 

"Well... I would like to, but I would appreciate it if the Master of the Mystic Arts guided me," Kaldur responded, his gaze steady as he conveyed a message to Aiden through their eye contact.

 

"Got it," Aiden understood the implicit request in Kaldur's words. Kaldur wanted Aiden to figure out multiple constructs first and then use his gained insights to teach Kaldur. "I'm sure it won't take me long for me to muster multiple constructs."

 

With that, Kaldur left Aiden to train and ponder on his musings while attempting to muster multiple constructs. Aiden pushed himself, delving deeper into the intricacies of his energy manipulation, determined to unravel the secrets of splitting his energy into confined limits.

 

Days passed in a blur as he immersed himself in the art of the mystics, experimenting tirelessly until he finally achieved a breakthrough. Now, he could split his energy and manipulate two constructs simultaneously, a feat that filled him with a sense of accomplishment.

 

Even Wonder Woman noticed Aiden's transformation as they sparred, observing how he seamlessly integrated armor onto his body while retaining the ability to change weapons at will. 

 

Moreover, he demonstrated the remarkable ability to instantly transform the armor into a weapon when the Lasso dispelled his weapon construct, effectively cutting down the time he would need to materialize another weapon construct.

 

She commended him on his efforts, recognizing the dedication and skill he had demonstrated in mastering this new technique.
