"Alright, everyone who knows how this works can go off and do their own thing. If you brought anything along for the next fifteen years, go put them in your room in the replica of my house."

"To the ones not in the know, you can have Sharon or Grayfia go with you and pick a room out for yourself."

We were finally here; we'll be spending the next fifteen years training in here. If they wish to take a break of a couple of days to a week or more, I can accommodate that. It would be mind-numbingly boring if we only trained for that long.

I look at the ones that are new here, they are Kanami, Serafall, Irina, Griselda, Scathach and Penemue. All I told them was we were going to go training, but where or how I didn't disclose, so they looked around curiously.

"Alright listen up—"

I tell them how this place works and how the others got so strong in such a short amount of time. They were obviously in shock, except Scathach, who began laughing, seemingly excited about it all.

"A place to hone one's self? A perfect place for warriors, is it not?"

Scathach looks at me with a confident smile as I nodded.

"I mean... Yeah, I guess? Anyway, seeing as how Irina is at High-class, that's the lowest the monsters that appear here will go. So it's better if you team up with someone higher in rank, like Xenovia and Asia since they're both Dragon God-class."

She nods sagely before jumping away to fight the numerous monsters that have spawned around us. Irina then makes a big sigh.

"...Haaa... Nova and Asia were already beyond my strength... Were they holding back during the times we sparred...? So frustrating, amen!"

Irina spreads out her wings and flies off to find those two in question. Griselda looks at Irina fly off and sighs.

"I will go and train with Gabriel-sama."

"I'll speak to Gabriel too. Maybe I can get some answers out of her..."

Penemue looks at me incredulously before flying off. Which left me with Kanami and Serafall. I walk over to the two and put my hand on each of their shoulders.

"You can use this to catch up with your little sister, you know? Go out there and run wild."

"Sera... You can catch up with Grayfia and Gabriel too..."

Both of them nodded before turning away from me. I walk over and sit on the bench as I watch a lot of explosions and big attacks happening in my peripheral vision. Now then... What should I do? Train? I mean... That wouldn't hurt...

Suddenly—

Shing! Shing!

A red and white ball came out of me and... Ddraig and Albion came out in their human forms.

"Time to get stronger!!"

Ddraig shouted and flew off while bringing out his draconic wings. Albion sat beside me and sighed.

"He is way too excited. Do you plan on doing anything for the next fifteen years, Jin?"

As he also looked at the attacks happening in front of us, I glanced at Albion.

"I mean... Yeah, a little bit of training here and there with the help of Rudra. Maybe both out here and in my soul? I still need to..."

I still need to improve my relationship with Velgrynd. I hadn't gotten a chance to speak with her much and the times I did... They were a bit tense.
