317-311 Start of training

After the exchange in the audience room, we were guided by the Dragon God and the attribute dragons to the training facility....

''Is this the training facility?　It looks like the only place that looks like the foot of the dragon valley where we fought the old dragons just now?

Of course. And how long are you going to keep that subtle tone of respect?

I don't know what's natural.

Well, it's not that I have any objection to breaking the tone, so let's break it down or........

''I'm asking what form you will be fighting in. Will that one be in the form of a dragon?

'Oh, I see. That's up to the Seiryuu. I'll leave the rest to you, Seiryuu.

The Dragon God-sama called out to the Holy Dragon as if it had been decided from the beginning.

''Yes. Flame Dragon, Water Dragon, Wind Dragon, and later, I'll have the earth dragons to help you here as well.''

Then he began to introduce himself.

''It's no use. Listen, you guys, I'm the flame dragon. Be careful, you'll be burned to ashes in an instant if you don't try to die.

A muscular man with red hair flying sloppily back is a flame dragon.

''Kaze, I'm sure you'll enjoy this?　Oh, I'm a water dragon.

''Hmmm, there's a guy named Luciel's mentor, so we can play with him, right?　I am a wind dragon.

The girls who look exactly like them on the outside are water dragons and wind dragons, and the only thing that would distinguish them would be the color of their hair and eyes.

''Yes, yes, we don't decide before we've even fought. Leave this one to me.''

It looks like the Holy Dragon will be leading the fight.

'Luciel, Nadia has a blessing bearer and a priestess to train, so we'll train elsewhere.

Aren't we supposed to be training here together?

''Yeah. The two of you have special training as a Dragon God Knight and Dragon God Priestess.

I have a bad feeling about this, don't I?

Follow me and you'll see.

The Dragon God laughs and goes back the way he came.

I guess there's no point in arguing with him here.

''Well then, Master and Lionel, go as hard as you want.

Oh, yeah, you're doing great.

''This one will be trained to the point of being as good as an evil god.

I can still understand my master, but there's something wrong with where Lionel is going.

''Well folks, I'll see you later.''

Thus, me and Nadia went back the way we came from the training ground with the Dragon Goddess and went further down the corridor, this time stopping in front of a proper room.

'Nadia will be trained here as a priestess to draw out the power of the light, dark and thunder dragons.

Perhaps you're asking me to fight in a mental body again?

Nadia fought in her mental body once, you know.

'Yes, she did. But unlike before, this place we have created will not force out the spirit body of the priestess, so she won't be as exhausted as she was.

Well it's nice to meet you.

Apparently Nadia decided to do as she was told and get trained.

Well, I guess that's the most constructive thing to do.

As I was thinking about this, the dragons introduce themselves as I did earlier.

''I'm Kouryuu. I'll train you well.

The blonde haired light dragon smiles softly.

''My dark dragon. It is the ruler of chaos. I would have preferred to train your wise man rather than you, but it can't be helped.

The dark dragon with his dark hair down to his waist and his bangs in a padded bun.

''Well, well, Luciel-kun's training looks like fun, but it can be whatever you want it to be later. Ah, I'm the Thunder Dragon.

I'm sure this boyish thunder dragon will be the one to unite the two of them.

''Nadia, first you must fight the three dragons and develop your abilities as a miko.

''Yes, Dragon God-sama. Good luck, Luciel-sama.

Yeah, we'll keep each other in line.

Yes, sir.

That's a nice touch. The Thunder Dragon, you're in charge here.

Yes. I'll see you later, wise Mr. Luciel.

'Yes. I asked you to help me with Nadia.

Well, come on, Luciel.

Yeah.

Forenoir and the dark spirits also follow me while in human form, so I guess the Dragon God-sama must have some kind of agenda.

I followed them silently and came to the large door at the far end.

''This is where you will train as a Dragon God Knight.

With that, the door was thrown open and there was a deep fog.

In here?

Yeah. Follow me.

I did as I was told and walked into the room.

Then the presence of the Dragon God suddenly disappeared.

Not only that, it was a place where I didn't feel any sign of Forenoir and the dark spirits or any magic power.

''Ah~ I have a terribly bad feeling about this.

When I meditated and searched for magic and signs, I felt nothing, so I activated the dispel on myself just in case. Even so, nothing had changed, so I knew it wasn't some kind of hallucination.

I activated my Area Barrier and Sanctuary Armor and decided to proceed through the Fog Room.

I gradually lost track of the front, back, and left and right sides of the room in a whiteout-like state, but I couldn't walk all the way and not hit a wall, so I just had to walk with caution.

How long will this last?　As I was thinking this, the fog suddenly cleared.

There was a young man who was enjoying a cup of tea in a large meadow.

When the young man noticed us, he smiled at us and said to us, "Hey, you're here.

'Hey, you're here. I didn't expect a reincarnation to come this far.

I didn't expect to see you here either, Lord Leinster.

So it was Lord Leinster who greeted me.

'Oh, by the looks of it, are you meeting me in a different place?

Apparently, my memory is not linked to Lord Leinster of Rockford.

'Yes, I have met him in Rockford.

'I'm a healer........ Does the time outside stand still in that space here too?　And any chance of running out of time?

'I couldn't talk to you properly before because you disappeared halfway through,' he said.

'That's right. This place, like the space in Rockford, is fixed, so time outside isn't moving forward. And what's more, this is a special place, so the time limit is almost as good as it gets.

Then we can talk about it slowly.

Apparently there's no time up.

It's not funny when you keep complaining and time is up.

Let's try to talk about it calmly first.

If you're in trouble as a transmigrant, I'm sure I can help you, but is there anything I can help you with?

Yes, I do. If I could...well, there are some matters I'd really like you to take care of.

As it stands now, there's only one case I'd rather have you handle than discuss with you.

''I see. Then let's hear it from the point you were the healer you were talking about earlier.

'Does that mean you want to hear about your daughter, the Pope, as well as Rockford?

''Well if it's going to be second best, let me ask you what happened after your reincarnation.

Apparently he wanted to do the standard thing.

'I understand. By the way, I also wanted to give Lord Leinster something to drink at Rockford, so why don't you join me later?

'Eh, what is it? I'm the provider here, and I'm looking forward to being served.

I then proceeded to tell him about my incarnation as a healer, and then I told him about the transmigrant holy dragons, spirits, evil gods, wise men, demons, and the remaining nine incarnations.

Lord Leinster seemed to enjoy listening to them, but when they talked about Object X, the Evil God, and the Destroyer, he listened with a serious look on his face.

And, of course, the current state of the Healing St. Schreul Cooperative Kingdom.

After listening to all the stories, Lord Leinster opened with an apology.

''I'm very sorry for the trouble I've caused you.

'No need to apologize. If you can drink this first and guide me to some kind of reviving move that will allow me to live in peace. Even if I invoked Revive on you, you wouldn't be able to revive me and...

''........Then first I'll train you to your limits before you drink this. This space is designed to be unsustainable if I pass out. If you think it's a lie, I'll drink it properly when I leave, won't that satisfy you?

'Okay. By the way, are you sure it's safe for me to pass out?

''Ah. Then we can thoroughly train Luciel-kun to the point where he can repel the evil gods and make the most of the power of the dragons and spirits, right?

Well, please.

He thought that he might be wrong about a lot of things, but his training with Lord Leinster was about to begin before his training with the Dragon Gods.
