Today there were more teaching sessions within the family, I wanted this to become the norm, so it needed to happen constantly.

However, today I was going to be a student of Nanako, alongside Mady. If possible, I wanted to split the day in two and learn from Nanako and my children and other strong and better mages than myself.

As I was having breakfast and deciding how to do it… I came out with an idea.

Back in the fight with Megusan, when I shapeshifted into a giant demon, I was capable of dividing both my soul and body. This was certainly way more different than creating Slime Clones, which are but a piece of my flesh given a 'will' and mana.

When I divided myself into three, I was having several bodies with the same mind, even if my souls were also split… It was rather interesting. And since I ate Megusan's soul, my soul ha developed such changes even more greatly, just like Megusan who was capable of diving himself, I should be capable of doing the same with each of my souls being the true 'me'.

I decided to divide myself into two, with the same mind and soul, but divided! It was different than a Split mind created with skill as well.

After having learned many skills, such a thing was possible, but it would seem like my power would be divided between the bodies, so I cannot be careless and divide myself endlessly.

If possible, only two should be enough.

Dividing myself just as I did back then, I decided to leave one body carrying my child, and another without it… I could feel my child inside of me, it was slightly bigger, so it was easy to carry him towards a second body.

As if I were a large slime made out of flesh, two of me appeared… this was completely different than Slime Clones taking in my shape or the Rin Sisters, which both are capable of developing minds and personalities of their own, and are different people.

I was seeing myself…

"This is very useful," said my two bodies at the same time.

I glanced at my stats and they had decreased a bit, but all of my skills were present, it seems that we were capable of sharing all of my skills without problems. The small stat decrease wasn't a problem at all as I was still able to buff myself with skills, transformations, and other things.

The equipment though was a problem, only one could wear the full set, so I gave my second body a few equipment pieces that I had accumulated. As it was my body who would take care of the child in my second womb, it was not going to be the fighter, so I just let my second body with that provisional equipment.

Hmm… seeing myself in a second body is really intriguing… Damn, I am quite the mighty beauty as well.

Aside from the equipment, which was made invisible by equipping it in my second's body soul, I wore a beautiful yukata with dark and red colors in my second body.

My mind was the same as my second body, so talking with it would be as talking with myself.

"Right?" I said.

"You're right, I'm really just talking with myself right now," said my second body.

"The yukata looks pretty good on me," I said.

"Yeah, it does look nice… I never noticed that I wore such lewd clothes," said my second body, glaring at my clothes.

"At this point, I may be very insane to talk with myself" I muttered.

The rest of my family was surprised.

"M-Masta…? Did you truly divided yourself into two bodies with the same mind?!" asked Rimuru.

"Yes, I did… it feels like I have two bodies, and whenever I talk with my second body… it's like talking with myself" I said, with both of my bodies.

"I-Incredible… So Honey can truly be in several places at the same time now… it is like Wall with a hivemind" analyzed Zehe.

"Ah! That is so convenient! Isn't it?! Can't you divide and make more bodies with the same mind? So we can all spend some time together!" said Nesiphae.

"But Nesi, for me, it would be as if I were spending it with you all anyway, even if I divide myself"

"So Master is like me?! So cool!" said Wall, emerging from my first body, she was 'equipped' inside of me, and remained in the original first body.

"Indeed, it is the case… I think I could divide myself more, but my stats would decrease exponentially… Although my Slime Clones don't really share the same mind with me, they are connected, so it should suffice. I don't want to create multiple bodies sharing my mind, it would be too confusing" I said.

"I see how it is! It's quite nice though, so you can leave your second body with our baby in here, and use your first body to fight" said Nixephine.

"That's right… I did this to mostly be capable of learning from different places at once. As I wanted to learn from Nanako and also from my children, Rimuru and Zehe… My Slime Clones can transfer my knowledge and level up some basic skills for me, but it's not the same with learning in-depth things with my family. It is also better if I am in person with you" I added.

"I guess so… So how does it feel? Does it feel as if you had two heads?" asked Nanako.

"More or less… it feels as if I just gained an extra body that shares my mind… I do not know how better describe it, but both should be me. But when I talk with my second body, it is like talking with my own hand, which would answer me with my own mouth, because it would be as talking with myself" I said, trying to clear things out.

"Kireina-sama is really a goddess now! Just like that treacherous Megusan, she can divide herself and still have the same mind!" said Sofarpia, excited.

"Indeed! It is amazing! She is even closer to godhood now!" said Sofelaia.

"Well, let's eat some more and get started with the classes! I am excited about trying out my second body, I may be capable of learning things faster this way than just by absorbing knowledge from Slime Clones" I said.

"Alright!" said everyone, as they quickly devoured the delicious and plentiful breakfast, several plates were being constantly served by the Arachne Maids.

My second body needed a lot of food to feed my precious baby, so I made sure to eat a lot with it.

With my original and 'first body', I went to Morpheus's Dungeon again, towards the third biome, which was made out of large plains and several lakes. Using my authority as the dungeon master, I cleared an area from monsters.

The breeze was tranquil and cold, the air was humid and felt nice, and the sun was dimmer, with several clouds in the sky. It was a nice day inside the dungeon.

"Uwah… These 'class' sessions really feel strange to me… Am I really a… 'Sensei'?" asked Nanako.

"Indeed, you are! Nanako-sensei, I am at your care!" I said, playing with the flustered Nanako.

"That is right, I am at your care as well. I am the most novice in Telekinesis or Psychic Powers in here, so Kireina will also have to help me out. If possible, we should start right away, I don't want to be away from the eggs for too long" said Mady.

"We are a small class, just the two of us anyway, it should be faster" I added.

"A-Alright, where did I left our classes…? Hm, perhaps I should start from the basics with Mady-san, is it okay for you, Kireina-sama?" asked Nanako.

"It's fine, I can also learn by practicing the basics again too," I said.

"Alright! Mady-san, for now, does as I taught to you and close each of your eyes… Concentrate into your inner energies… aside from your mana, you should be able to feel something else, which is both similar to it and completely different" said Nanako.

We were all currently sitting in the short green grass, it was fresh and a bit damp, but it seemed to make Mady felt at home with her tentacles.

"Alright, sensei…" muttered Mady, closing all of her eyes, including those in her tentacles. For a moment, she fell into silence. Her inner energies flowed around her body, there was her magic energy or mana, her life energy, her soul energy, and… psychic energy.

"There it is… I must grasp it" muttered Mady, concentrating on the task… until.

Flash!

A strange, transparent, and formless force appeared above her, pushing the air away a few centimeters.

"Fweh?! That fast? Mady, you're very talented! It took me five years to finally grasp my Psychic Energy… well, Kireina-sama also did it in less than a day," said Nanako.

"Hm?! Really? Oh my… perhaps this could be a new tool for me to get stronger? I shall gladly use it! Please, sensei, teach me more!" Said Mady.

Nanako opened the eyes in her body wide as they released large amounts of Psychic Energy around, forming an arc of a strange, formless, and semi-transparent pink energy.

"When Psychic Energy is used in great quantities, it becomes pink-colored, at least for me. For now, both of you should try to gather your Psychic Energy around your bodies until it turns into some kind of color" muttered Nanako.

I released my Psychic Energy, which unlike the two girls, came from my entire body. Nanako figured out that it was because of the uniqueness of my physical flesh, which served as every organ in a humanoid body, such as the brain.

After evolving and shapeshifting my flesh and physique so many times, my entire body had become brains, stomach, intestines, heart, lungs, and all other organs at the same time. Naturally, if I willed it, I could quickly increase the neurons in my entire flesh, although in excess, it would cause a headache.

Psychic Energy came from Nanako and Mady's brains, but their special eyes were 'catalyzers' of it. Thanks to their special mystic eyes, they were capable of manipulating the psychic energies and take them out of their bodies.

I was capable of doing so when I acquired the 'Telekinetic Manipulation' Skill, as my eyes were not capable of doing that. My mystic eyes never obtained an ability that granted me telekinetic powers, although Mana manipulation to move objects is quite similar.

Mady began to create a large arc of pink light from her eyes, and she was able to move it at her will…

"Oh my, I've obtained the 'Psychic Eyes Technique' Skill! I am rather the fast learner, aren't I? Fufufu" said Mady, releasing a devilish chuckle.

Her tentacles danced around as they created psychic forces around, she slowly began to make rocks and dirt float around her.

As I used my entire body to produce psychic energy, the amount was greater than the two girls, and it expanded widely around us. By merging it with mana or my aura, it felt as if my senses had increased exponentially, everything that happened around us was clear to me as if I were in each part. I was able to experience something similar when I enhanced my aura with the Thunder Attribute alongside the Thunder Dragon Armor.

"This really feels as if I were omniscient in a certain area… coupled with other of my skills, this may become a very strong tool" I muttered.

"Kireina-sama, even I can't do that… Could you teach me?" asked Nanako.

"I would also like to learn how you expand your Psychic Energy like that…" asked Mady.

"Oh…"

And the roles of teacher and student reversed. For the rest of the day, I spent it like this with Nanako and Mady, teaching the two girls about expanding their psychic energy and merging it with their Aura and Mana.

At the same time, I was also learning more Mana manipulation and better and refined use of magic through my second body.

Vudia, Ailine, Aarae, Rimuru, and Zehe were currently teaching me such basics.

"Mommy, you're already so good at mana control! But you need to concentrate more! It feels as if you're infusing way too much magic into your spells!" said Ailine.

"That's right! But you're doing fine!" said Vudia.

The two girls flew around me as they taught me… they are even younger than me and know so much…

"I guess even after evolving my skills and awakening them, I still lack some finesse into what I do… there is a clear difference between those who specialize and me, who just uses overpowering strength and magic to win… I suppose I need to learn a lot more than I thought. I'm very lucky to have such talented little princesses to aid me" I said.

I was in the middle of the Grand Forest, in an open field with my second body and the girls.

A gigantic amount of mana was over my head, I decided to use my old 'Mana Zone' to learn a more refined use of mana. It seemed to work very well, and with everyone's insights, I managed to improve by leaps and bounds.

"Perhaps try to move these two attributes aside, and concentrate on one attribute, for now, just cast Water Magic, then Thunder Magic, and then Wind Magic," said Aarae, guiding me.

"Alright," I said, releasing different elements each time. A giant water projectile, a shock of yellow lightning, and then a strong breeze.

"Like that… Masta, you need to get used to that feeling, separate each attribute, and use them like that. If you manage to learn this better, your combined magic will result in something even stronger" said Rimuru, she was an amazing sensei.

"There is a lot for you to learn yet! I will make sure to put all the knowledge I've accumulated into your brain, honey~!" said Zehe, with a mischievous smile. She seemed to like teaching me…

Overall, it was a nice and enjoyable day.
