Three days have passed since I returned to Elstadt.

"You're finally here!

"Aren't you tired of walking?

"I'm fine!

"Efa's fine."

"Eh heh. My master trained me. Thanks to you!

On this day, I was visiting the mountain with my master and Efa.

It is a bustling mountain of trees about 300 km from Elstadt.

We took a night train to the town of Natra last night, from where we walked for a few hours to come to this mountain.

There are no settlements and no streets nearby, so no demonic boundaries are stretched out.

I mean, there could be demons lurking somewhere.

Why did you come to me like that, to train Efa?

If we're still training, we can do it in the college square... We had the following conversation the other day.

"What kind of training did Mr. Maurice get stronger?

"The mountain cage became stronger."

I see! Then I will play the mountain cage!

"But if you go to the mountains, you might run into demons, right? Well, if me and Ash accompany him, we can protect him... '

"Then why don't we cage in the mountains for the next holiday?"

"Really?!? Happy! '

That's why we decided on a mountain cage for two nights a night.

"By the way, what exactly am I supposed to do with a mountain cage?

Efa asks different questions.

"I fought demons and got stronger... but I can't let Effa do such a dangerous thing..."

"It sounds like Mr. Maurice's training should not be mannered. If so... what kind of training was the master doing?

"Me? I... right. My first training was drilling holes."

"Do you dig holes?

Was it unexpected, Efa was decent?

"When you dig holes, you build muscles all over your body. And build your strength."

"That's a good thing! I'd love to try it too... but you don't have the tools."

I shook my head at the disappointing Efa.

"No, no. Dig with your bare hands."

"Shh, bare hands?

To my surprise, Effa, I nod.

"Dig 100 meters with your bare hands."

"A hundred meters!?

"Norma charged me with 100 meters a day for 10 sets."

"Ten sets!? Oh, is that gonna end in a proper day...?

"It's done."

A hundred meters is a piece of cake right now, but it was taking a whole day at the time.

I barely had time to sleep, and by the time I finished digging the hole, my body was blurry.

Still, I was kept digging holes because I had a dream of being a wizard.

As a result, I became a militant.

"Master has been amazing for a long time... By the way, how long have you been training for?

Six months.

Efa sighed admirably.

"Yes... I've been digging holes for six months..."

"I was really going to let it go on for a year. When I realized it, Ash set it up 100 times a day."

"A hundred sets!?

In fact, I was voluntarily digging through holes.

At first, we achieved ten sets, so we had the most time, but we were running out of time day by day.

So he decided to make sure how many holes he could dig a day.

By moving his arms fast and digging through the hard ground, he gained speed and power at the same time, allowing him to release the Wind Knife.

"So, but if you can't do the same thing as your then master, you can't keep up with your current master, can you? I'll give it a shot!

Efa caught the dirt.

"My nails seem to peel off..."

Efa caught tears and stopped digging holes.

"I couldn't dig ten centimeters..."

"That's normal."

And, my master comforts Efa.

"More than anything without injury. 'Cause Ash came home every day with a meltdown. I peeled my nails off every day."

"Every day..."

"Mm-hmm. Well, Ash's natural healing power has been unusual since that time, so it was back to normal soon."

"I thought my master was using the Universal Healing (Heavens Cure)."

Back then, I believed I was a great wizard.

"I want to be a militant like my master soon, too!

"To do that, we need to train well."

"Yes! So, what do I do first?

"Hit me as hard as you can until sundown. I'll keep avoiding even Effa's attacks."

Keep even targeting escaping targets to gain speed and strength.

And even if it's not as good as drilling holes, you can build muscles all over your body by moving around.

That's how me and Effa started training.
