Satria stood in the center of a sprawling training facility in uninhabited island, his focus sharp as he prepared to push his limits. The air around him crackled faintly, a subtle manifestation of his speed force energy. This was no ordinary power-it demanded precision, stamina, and a deep understanding of its intricacies.

His goal today? To master the speed force and unlock its full potential.

Satria darted across the vast expanse of the training grounds, a blur of motion leaving trails of residual energy in his wake. He'd set up an intricate series of hurdles, walls, and twisting paths to mimic real-world scenarios.

"Faster," he muttered to himself. "Adapt, improvise."

As he zigzagged through the course, drones zipped into his path, projecting holographic obstacles that forced him to make split-second decisions. He sidestepped one, flipped over another, and slid under a low barrier.

Time slowed in his perception, giving him the clarity to calculate every movement. To anyone watching, he was a mere streak of light, a force of nature moving at impossible speeds.

"Look at him go," Valiana muttered, crossing her arms. "Always so dramatic. It's like he's auditioning for a hero movie or something."

Kiyohime tilted her head, her golden eyes fixed on Satria as he blurred through his speed drills. "Danna-sama works so hard. It's... admirable."

The next stage required precision. Satria stood before a solid steel wall, his hands glowing faintly with kinetic energy. He concentrated, vibrating his molecules at a frequency that would allow him to phase through the barrier.

"Calm your mind. Match the frequency."

He closed his eyes and focused. The hum of his energy grew louder, and his hand began to sink into the steel like it was water.

One wrong calculation, and he'd risk serious injury-or worse. But he couldn't afford fear. With a deep breath, he stepped forward, his entire body phasing through the wall.

Emerging on the other side unscathed, he grinned. "Getting better."

The training arena shifted, activating the super-speed simulator. The environment transformed into a bustling cityscape, complete with simulated pedestrians, vehicles, and chaos.

Satria's task was to save as many simulated citizens as possible within a three-minute window. He bolted into action, weaving through traffic and carrying people to safety.

A simulated bus careened out of control, heading toward a crowd. Satria dashed forward, creating a vortex to redirect the vehicle's path. Time slowed as he adjusted his positioning, pulling a child out of harm's way at the last possible second.

When the simulation ended, he collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily.

"Need... more endurance," he muttered, wiping sweat from his brow.

"He doesn't know when to stop. Look at him pushing himself like that."

Kiyohime frowned slightly, her protective instincts flaring. "Maybe I should intervene. He needs to take care of himself. His health is-"

Valiana raised a hand, cutting her off. "Relax, Kiyohime-san. This is his thing. Let him have his fun."

The final phase of his training involved manipulating time itself-a feat that required a delicate balance of power and focus.

Standing in the middle of a glowing circle etched with runic symbols, Satria closed his eyes and tapped into the speed force's deeper layers. The world around him began to shift: leaves froze mid-fall, the hum of distant machinery slowed, and his own heartbeat became a steady, deliberate rhythm.
