The fourth basement floor was the same as it was a year ago, the ground had been cleared and spread out.
　But unlike before, the fourth floor was surrounded by a wall about three meters high, with a spectator's seat on top of it.
　It was not a training ground for the purpose of training, but rather an arena for the purpose of showing people how to fight, so to speak.

　I asked Lionel, who seemed to know more about the situation.
"Lionel, what's this?
'The guards guarding the city of Yenis asked us to watch the training, and there was a strong desire for them to watch us train as well. So we asked Lord Doran to provide us with an environment that would allow us to see the whole thing.
I see. So you set up an arena-like auditorium so you could see what everyone was doing?
　It would certainly be easier to instruct them if they could see the whole thing, and the big training ground at the church headquarters was built the same way.

'Yes, nowadays, children who attend school also come to watch the training of the guards. Of course, though, the time is pre-arranged.
....
　That's probably true. If it's a training exercise, there won't be a problem, but if Lionel and the others are serious about fighting, the kids could be shown a bloody mess.
　We shouldn't let the kids see that, you know.

'Are the bleachers okay?'
　Although there were seats in the audience, there didn't seem to be any defense system to protect the audience if magic accidentally flew in.

''Yes. That's where Doran-dono and the others have created a special magic barrier that firmly absorbs physical and magical attacks. If you'd like, you can have them attack us to confirm.
　If Lionel was that confident, he'd be fine.
　But this time, I decided to take a little provocation and test that defense system just in case.

''Let's try it out for a bit.
　I took out the sword of illusion, filled it with magic and held it up, then fired my full force into the audience with the Flame Dragon Sword.

　Then a translucent flame dragon as big as a horse appeared and opened its mouth as if to roar and bite into the audience seats.

　However, just before the moment, something like a transparent wall appeared and continued to block the path of the flame dragon, and the flame dragon disappeared before it could jump into the auditorium.
　However, the wall was indeed not unharmed, and the transparent wall was able to crack.

''It cracked a little bit, but how many times do you think it's okay to continue?''
Yes, it seems to be a reference to the wards in the Adventurer's Guild's training grounds, and they have been strengthened, and it seems that the wounds will soon be repaired by supplying them with magic power.
That's great.
　If this is the case, we'll be able to fight the battle as best we can.
　Fortunately, there's a special medical zone in this city, the Healer's Guild has high level healers like Jord-san, and the Medicine Master's Guild sells high performance potions, so there's no problem with healing.
　It's a good environment for me to get stronger.

''Sage Luciel, do you mind if I try it out as well?''
　It was Mr. Bazak who came to say so.
　I had no reason to refuse him, so I decided to let him try.

'Yes, go ahead,'
Well then ... [Ellen Mental Force Arrow]
　When Mr. Bazak received my approval, he raised his arms high and created a magic ball with the four attributes of fire, water, wind and earth.

　The magic ball transformed into an arrow, and Mr. Bazak shot it out of the air as it transformed into an arrow.
　The magic arrow flew into the audience as if it were sucked in, but it was still stopped by a magical barrier.
　So the magic arrow exploded, but it didn't cross the magic barrier or crack it.

　It was a great power, but it also reminded me of the greatness of the dragon sword once again. That wasn't something you could aim at an ordinary person.

''It's amazing how people can create a training ground where even my strongest magic can't get a single scratch. I can train my magic to its fullest anytime here.
　Nevertheless, Mr. Bazak seemed very happy to see him.

　It's true that the more powerful the magic, the more powerful the magic, the more places to choose.
　The only place to train where no one will disturb you is the labyrinth, but even then it's quite conceivable that the other adventurers will be disturbed.
　This place is soundproofed so that it doesn't echo to the third floor, and it may indeed be the best place for training in magic.

　With that in mind, for some reason I was starting to get a bad feeling from earlier, so I suggested that we go back to the ground.
''So that's the end of the tour. Then we'll have to prepare for tomorrow, and we'll have our rooms ready to go, so you can spend the rest of the day as you wish until dinner time. Nahlia, I'll need you to show everyone around.

'Yes, sir. Now I would like to show you all around.
　Nahlia said and started to head for the stairs.

　Apparently the bad feeling was my imagination I wanted her to think that...I wanted her to think that.

　I slowly opened my mouth as my mentor grabbed me by the shoulders.
''Luciel, you were having a mock battle with a war demon in this training ground, or rather the arena, weren't you?''
　I had my arm cut off out of nowhere, but it was a different kind of training here than with Melatni.

'Yes, it was. When I came to Yenis, unlike Melatni, I was really targeted by assassins at times, so I guess I wanted a little bit of relief from training. Now, Master, let's talk upstairs.
'No, I haven't done any physical activity yet today. Besides, I've just finished my tour, so come along for the ride.
　The master was the master.

''........We had that many mock battles yesterday, didn't we?''
'Yesterday is yesterday. You know all too well that you have to train every day, don't you?
　I can't argue with what Master is saying because he is not wrong.
　Still, there are days when I want to nourish my wits.

　Let's firmly refuse to do so here. Just as I was thinking that, Lionel interrupted me from the side.

''Then I had some indigestion yesterday as well, so let's go along with it. Since I wasn't able to make a show of it when we fought two against one not long ago.
'No, Lionel would be better off with Nahlia by his side.
　And it's funny that he's trying to fight one on two again.

''I'll make time with Nahlia at night. More importantly, Luciel-sama is gradually mastering the power of the dragon, so he'll be just the right training partner.
'Master Luciel, please take care of Master Lionel.
　Nahlia turned and bowed her head. 'You're doing too much for Lionel,' she said.

'Mr. Luciel, then we are going to have a tour this time. Can you show us how much training you're doing?
　It seems that Lumina and the others chose to observe because their armor was under repair, but they were already talking about the premise of having a mock battle.
　Can't we avoid a mock battle if it comes to this?

With the recovery spell, you can go all out without a care in the world.
　Master nodded with satisfaction at the flow of mock battles.
　But if that one's in the mood, I have an idea.

''Luciel-sama, since Lydia and I will be slowing you all down, we will observe.
Good luck, Lady Luciel.
　It would be nice if the two of them avoided the battle but then again, it's still a mock battle between Master and Lionel.

''I understand. Then for every winner, the loser will drink the object X.''
　We can't be rolling in Master's palm forever.
　We've generally shown each other's hand yesterday.
　If we can make him drink Object X, Master will eventually give up....and Lionel, of course.

''I always drank it when I trained with my master, you know.
　When I laughed, Keti and Kefin had already started to retreat with Nahlia.

'What?　Are you insane, Luciel?
　Master's eyes widened in surprise.

''Well I didn't expect you to have that much confidence in yourself against me and the war demons.
What two?
　I asked, and the Master looked away.
　Object X apparently doesn't want to drink.

　In the midst of such an exchange, here Lionel said something I couldn't believe my ears.
''........Well, if Luciel-sama is going to use the power of the dragon, is it not enough for the two of us? In that case, would it be just fine if the "abyss" were to enter?
Mm, is it me?
　Lionel's idea was ludicrous.
　And Mr. Bazak, for some reason, would get on board.

''No, he says a lot of things are wrong. It was a one-on-one flow earlier~'
''Oh, stop messing around. If a disciple is going to stand up to his master, he should show a reasonable amount of determination. With that in mind, let's get started.
'Master, it's called being upsetting.
Master Luciel. Come on now.
"Let us try our wise men's powers.
　But Lionel and Mr. Bazak.......Bazak had already prepared for the battle.

　Thus, before I could convince them of many things, my absolutely unbeatable battle was about to begin.
