*Aziel's training was raised to the extreme, it was done in order for Aziel to control his own power*
Eventually, Aziel's training became light for him as he continue his training.
Eleanor and Drako also noticed it, so they raised his training regimen again. But this time, Aziel was to face monsters from the wild, and he was to bring the monsters in their cave for them to eat it.
"Since, the training has become light for you and you can maintain your maximum energy output during meditation. You are to train outside this barrier by slaying at least one beast in the wild and bring them here. You are to do this every day, aside from doing your daily training. You can do it in your preferred time." Eleanor explained the new training procedure for Aziel.
"And if I notice that the beasts outside become so weak for you to fight. You are to fight a bigger, and stronger opponent. You are to fight and train with Drako, that including your daily training and hunting wild beasts." Eleanor added a bunch of training regimen for Aziel.
"Isn't that a bit exaggeration? Him, going to fight and train against me?" Drako inserted.
"Yes, unless you were afraid to face the kid?" Eleanor teased Drako's pride.
"Okay, we'll see about that." Drako was fired up by Eleanor's provocation.
"Now, before you go outside. You are to wear this cloak. I had casted a sealing magic in that cloak, in order for you not to get detected by the other gods. You can still be seen by them of other creatures, but the energy that's coming for you will lessen because of this cloak. Now, off you go!" Eleanor didn't even let Aziel answer, and she sent him outside.
Aziel found himself in the middle of the forest.
"Can I even bring my spear with me?" Aziel yelled outside the barrier.
"No, you can't! You need to train your body without relying on any weapons. Your body is the only weapon that you can use against wild beast this time." Eleanor replied.
As Aziel walk through the forest, he was a little disappointed that he couldn't bring his only weapon. He also had almost forgotten the feeling of holding the spear and how to wield it, because of his training.
"Alright, I need to finish this quickly before the sun sets." Aziel crouched as he saw a boar with a striped of purple and brown hair. It has a long fangs and a huge body, when Aziel was about to launch himself towards the boar, it sensed him and quickly run away.
Aziel sighed in disappointment as his prey quickly escaped. However, the prey that he thought had escaped was approaching him in a very fast speed, which he only noticed when the boar was already in five meters away from him. Aziel quickly tries to avoid the boar but he realized that its speed was so fast, and all he could do was crossed his arms covering his body and using all his strength, he tried to match the boar's speed and they collided.
Aziel's left arm was broken after the collision, and the boar's right fangs was the only thing that's broken. Aziel realized that all those training and yet he couldn't defeat a boar in a single hit. He casts all his energy into his right fist, and launched himself towards the boar. However, the boar had also thrust itself towards Aziel and opened its mouth trying to bite him with its maximum bite force.
The two of them met, and Aziel evaded the boar's bite as he punched its head with his full force. The boar was thrown in one of the huge trees in the forest. The tree collapsed to the force, and the boar died.
"Haa! I was harder than fighter the two horned bear? How is that even possible?" Aziel was panting as he approached the boar's body.
Aziel saw the face of the boar, disfigured because of the force from the punch. I has a red pupil, its body was a huge as the two horned bear but it could run very fast. Its main power relies on its speed and its bite force.
Aziel brought the boar inside the barrier with a face of defeat. He's left arm was hanging broken, and when Drako saw him, he began to laugh.
"HA... HA... HAHAHAHA!" Drako couldn't contain himself, and laughed hysterically.
"HAHAHA! I'm sorry. HAHAHA! What is that state? You have to see your face, kid! HA, HAHAHA! I couldn't help it. I'm sorry kid!" Drako laughed hysterically as he hold his belly from the pain of laughing.
"Stop it old man! Just help me out here!" Aziel snapped by Drako's laugh.
"Hahaha, ha ha. My bad kid. Give me that boar." Drako was still laughing as he pick the boar from Aziel.
"Let's wash your face." Eleanor washed Aziel's face using a wet cloth.
"I won't heal your broken arm. Use your power to heal your injuries yourself. Do it by casting your energy towards the broken part. Do that before eating dinner, I'll cook a delicious boar soup and grill some of its meat, so you better be hurry." Eleanor ordered Aziel.
Eleanor's words made Aziel's mouth water. The grilled meat was running in his mind, as he hasn't taste something like it before. So Aziel meditated and cast his energy towards his broken bone, a little while later, he broken bones started to heal itself, including all his wounds. After healing himself, he hurriedly went towards where the other two seating beside the fire, grilling some boar meat.
"You took your time kid." Drako teased Aziel.
"Shut up old man. I'm starving." Aziel said as his drools flow out from his mouth.
"Here, you can eat first." Drako offered the meat that he grilled to Aziel.
"What? Why? You grilled it yourself, Sir. I can't possibly accept that." Aziel refuse to accept the grilled meat.
"It's a thanks for making me laugh. I haven't laugh that hard ever since." Drako giggled as he wiped his excess tears from laughing.
"Tsk! Give me that!" Aziel irritably snatched the meat form Drako's hand.
"You both do get along really well." Eleanor assessed the actions of the two.
"I don't know about that, Miss Eleanor. If this old man stop teasing me, I might consider that." Aziel said as he chew the meat while his eyes closed.
"Hahaha. I see what you mean, Milady. I never had a friend aside from you, maybe that is why we do get along as you said." Drako said to Eleanor while messing Aziel's light blue hair.
Aziel didn't say it but he also was having a good time with his new companions. That night, the three of them laugh as they consumed their dinner.
After dinner, Aziel decided to head outside to train the ancient fire magic on top of the mountain, leaving Eleanor and Drako inside the cave.
"The kid has a great potential, Milady. He had defeated one of the strongest creature outside the barrier using only his bare hands." Drako told to Eleanor.
"I know Drako. Soon he will be ready to face the outside world, but we also need to be prepared when that time comes." Eleanor said in a serious tone.
"I need you to make an accessory for the hand, cast a sealing magic in it, and also make a ring and do the same thing." Eleanor ordered Drako.
"May I know why, Milady?" Drako asked.
"We need to hide Aziel's power and much as possible, even after his training we still have to hide his power in order to protect him from those bastards." Eleanor clarified her order towards Drako.
"I understand. I will do it immediately, since we already had the skin of a demonic boar. One of the creatures that has a very hard skin." Drako affirmed.
"I'll trust you on that, Drako." Eleanor told Drako.
It made Drako even more willing to do the order when Eleanor said that she put her trust in him.
Drako quickly washed the skin of the demonic boar, and he cut all unnecessary parts to be used.
A little while later, Aziel came back to the cave with a smug on his face while whistling.
"Someone's been happy." Drako assessed Aziel's action.
"Not really, I just perfectly copied, and done what was written in the scroll." Aziel boast to Drako his small achievement.
Aziel was so happy that he could cast magic, since he didn't get a blessing from the universe, he lost all the hope of casting magic. But it was all changed, now that he can do magic, it made him happier than ever.
"That's great kid. I know you're really happy." Drako said while showing off by producing fire power as he speak.
It made Aziel snapped again.
"Oh really? That's because, you're already old! Thank you for ruining my great mood, you old oaf!" Aziel mocked Drako.
"Just you wait, I will catch up to you!" Aziel said as he open the magical chest to learn another magic spell. However the chest wasn't opening however hard he try.
"You can't learn another magic spell yet, my child." Eleanor said as she came approaching inside the cave.
"You need to master that spell, before you can learn another one." Eleanor explained further.
"Tsk! Just you wait, old man!" Aziel was so mad that he went straight to his bed fuming.
"I'll be waiting, kid." Drako teased Aziel more.
"Arghhh!" Aziel yelled while he lied in his bed.
It made Drako giggle again.
"Stop it, Drako." Eleanor ordered him to stop.
"Yes, ma'am." Drako stop, but still giggled a little.
The next moment, Aziel, and Eleanor was still sleeping when Drako finally finished making the magical gloves for Aziel. The next thing he did was to cast a sealing magic in it. The procedure took three hours just by casting the spell. And Drako was the last one to sleep because of it. It was already dawn when he can finally able to rest.
The next day started the same. They ate their breakfast, and Aziel starts to do his daily boulder training, while also doing the magic training in the morning. Hunting wild beasts in the afternoon, and meditating after.
Then magic training again in the evening. These training was done for three weeks until he finally found it quiet easy to do the training while also hunting. He found the beasts outside the barrier grows weaker by the day he did the hunting.
Like what Eleanor instructed, it was finally time for him to train with Drako. As Eleanor saw the rapid improvement of Aziel, and the lack of stronger monsters around the barrier, she didn't have another one that could provide Aziel a battle that could improve him.
"I find it hard to believe that in less than a month, you became this strong, my dear child. Since, I don't have so much resources that we could use for you to continue you training, aside from Drako. You will be training with him starting tomorrow. I still need you to do the boulder training every morning, this time I will make the boulder three times bigger. You will face Drako in the afternoon, and do your meditation and magic training in the evening." Eleanor change Aziel's training into more extreme.
"Drako, you are to use everything during the training. Use everything but make sure not to kill Aziel. I will cast a blessing in your body that will hurt you when you were holding back your strength." Eleanor instructed Drako.
"What? How am I supposed to do that?" Drako asked Eleanor.
"It is your training Drako. Try to figure out how you would do that, on your own." Eleanor ordered.
"Is that clear, boys!?" Eleanor yelled to both!
"YES MA'AM!" Aziel and Drako simultaneously.
The three of them celebrated Aziel's improvement, they couldn't believe that it hasn't been one month since Aziel was brought into the cave and starts training. Now he was about to face a very strong opponent. And he didn't know if he could survive the new training regimen that he was about to face.
"Rest up for the night, boys! Tomorrow, you will start your training!" Eleanor ordered them both.
The three of them went to sleep, as they wait for the new morning to come.
