Six weeks have passed since they started training like madmen like there was no tomorrow... Thanks to this many have managed to adapt to Ryouji's magic output being at 100% and he now started mixing Elein's raw power to them...
He had miscalculated the fact that with each level he gained he took less exp by training, he had totally forgotten about that...
It wasn't fixed exp like with the seeds...
After he levelled up to 695 his exp rate went to 1 per 8 seconds, 696 his exp rate went to 1 per 10 seconds, 697 his exp rate went to 1 per 12 seconds, 698 his exp rate went to 1 per 14 seconds and now he got stuck at 699 with his exp rate going from 1 per 16 seconds...
During this time, he had talked about many things with Irene and unfortunately she couldn't send any help to him as she had a few Slayers in her arsenal...
The reason for it was because they were too freaking far...
Thankfully after 5 days, the groups that were sent to gather a few from other settlements returned with a whole group of people that numbered at 200...
Among them, Ryouji found 3 Dragon Slayers... His Exp was now at 20.000/69.900 in order to level up...
After talking with them about their plans and everything they looked at him with awe especially when he helped them regain their human forms...

Ding!!! User Has Consumed 3 <Partial Dragon Seeds>
Ding!!! User Has Gained 15 Points In All Stats!!!
Ding!!! User Has Gained 10.000 Exp For each Seed!!!
Ding!!! User Has Gained 30.000 Exp Points!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------
With this, he now needed 19.900 Exp to finally reach 700 which might seem easy but in fact, it was as hard as fuck...
They had 10 days and he didn't know if it will be enough... he needed 318400 seconds, 5307 minutes, 89 hours and then 3 days and 17 hours according to his new calculations...
Which were probably wrong as well, since the people he was training were ready to get used to his new aura and this would mean his end of getting exp...
He started thinking of possible ways to get more exp, he had even tried on one day during his break to kill a few Dragons and see if he can get any exp but the reality was a whore they gave nothing to him...
Ryouji : Sigh... I can't believe i'm this close yet so far again...
Erza : Why do you say so???
Ryouji : I was in the same position before we fought the Oracion Six... Stuck by a small nail to improve further ahead...
Erza : Don't we have 10 days??"
Ryouji : It might be not enough and the new people are too weak to handle my pressure...
Ryouji : I can only leave this to fate i guess...
Erza : It's enough... You tried... At least when you go back you can retrain us which will help both of us, no all of us...
As they were talking about possible ways to make out of this, Ryouji felt his token heat up and then heard a voice from within...
??? : So you didn't reach the target huh...
Ryouji : Irene, there is a chance i might or may not reach it we still have 10 days...
Irene : Unfortunately we don't have that much time... The seal is getting weaker...
Irene : I have already gathered everyone i could and rushing myself to you...
Ryouji : If that is so, then either we swim or sink in hell...
Irene : You are right..... I have with me 10 Dragon Slayers that are thirsty for revenge along with 10.000 people of what has been left behind of Humanity...
Ryouji : So the only problem will be if you arrived on time...
Ryouji : Hahahahahahaha... Then It's time to rise up to the task, don't we??
Irene : But are you going to be fine if you draw that much power??
Ryouji : I will be... After all, i owe it to the people here...
Ryouji : We will avenge this future no matter the price...
