After Yuto had received medical attention, the woman who had greeted him approached him with a stack of books.

"I've gathered some information for you", she said, placing the books on the bed beside him. "But I must warn you, Lucien's castle is a long way away, and the journey is treacherous. You'll need to be prepared."

Yuto nodded, grateful for any information that could help him on his journey.

The woman began to flip through one of the books, explaining different details about the terrain he would have to face. She told him about the dangerous creatures that lurked in the forests and mountains, and how to avoid them. She also gave him tips on how to find food and water and how to navigate using the stars at night.

As he listened to her, Yuto began to realize just how unprepared he was for this journey. He had never traveled far on his own before, and he had barely survived his encounter with the rogue mage. He knew he would need to become stronger and better equipped for the journey ahead.

"You need to train," the woman said, interrupting his thoughts. "Traveling alone is dangerous enough, but with the rogue mage on the loose, you need to make sure you have the skills to protect yourself."

Yuto nodded, feeling a sense of determination build within him. He would do whatever it took to protect himself and those Innocent people in the Realm, and to complete his mission.

The woman handed him a new sword and motioned for him to stand up. "Let's see what you can do," she said with a small smile.

Yuto had never practiced with a sword before, but he grasped it with both hands and prepared to face the woman in front of him.

The sparring match was intense. The woman moved quickly and precisely, and Yuto struggled to keep up. But he found that each time he was hit, he became more determined to improve and defend himself.

After what felt like hours of training, the woman finally called a stop to the match. Yuto was panting and covered in sweat, but he felt a sense of accomplishment.

"You have the potential to be a skilled warrior," she said, looking at him with approval. "But you have much to learn. Train every day, and never let your guard down. If you do that, you might just survive the journey to Lucien's castle."

Yuto nodded, thanking the woman for her guidance. He knew he had a long road ahead of him, but he was ready to face it head-on. He would train, study, and gather as much information as he could. He would get stronger, so he could protect those he cared about and complete his mission to stop the rogue mage.

As he picked up his sword and began to practice his techniques, he felt a sense of purpose wash over him. He was no longer just a young boy with a dream - he was a determined and skilled warrior, ready to face whatever lay ahead.
