"My Lord, all your things are in this storage room" *Sebastian offer the storage rings respectfully*
Verduny take the storage ring and wear it
"Good job for you two. Edward, where is he?"
Edward glance at someone and that person coming closer. Then he's standing beside Edward
"My Lord, he's the Number 4. He'll assist you in the forest"

"You'll follow me then. Edward, I'll leave the Dukedom in your hands on my absents. Help my wife if she has a difficulty on her works. Sebastian, help Edward on his works"
"Yes, my Lord" *they said it together*
"Everyone let's get going!"
"Yes, Your Excellency" *loud and firmly*
It takes 2 hours for them to arrived in the forest.
In the Haunted Forest
The Haunted Forest are one of the forests in the Amethyst Dukedom. Inside the forest there are a lots of high rank monsters. Therefore, the forest became a forbidden place. Haunted forest are the closest forest to the manor of Amethyst Dukedom, that's why Verduny chose that forest to train his soldiers.
4 Verduny's personal guards and 2 teams high healers are already waiting for Verduny arrival. The personal guards have prepared a tent for Verduny.
Verduny and his soldier arrived in the location
*kneeling* "Welcome, my Lord" *the 4 personal guards welcome Verduny*
*salute* "Greetings, Your Excellency Duke Amethyst" *the healers said it togethers*
Seeing that there were many healers in the training arena, some of the soldiers felt anxious, some were confused, and some of them had bad feelings. But they can't do anything about it.
"Soldiers, we have arrived in our destination. Unload your belongings and build your own tents. Then gather again in 10 minutes"
"Yes!" *loud and firm*
The soldiers disperse and started setting up their tents. Meanwhile, Verduny approached the healers tents.
"How was your journey getting here?"
*bow* "There were many monsters along our way here. Gratefully, Your Excellency personal guards kept us safe from monsters attack" *one of the healers said it*
Verduny glance at the 4 guards, then the guards bows to him.
"Good job for the four of you, continue your works."
"Yes, my Lord" *the four guards said it together*
*turn around* "Sir and Miss Healers, take your time right now. You all will be a bit busy in no time" *smile creepily*
The healers are confused. But they will soon understand Verduny meanings.
10 minutes passed
The soldiers gathered in front of Verduny
"For today and tomorrow I'll train your agility." *cast magic spell*
*flop flop flop*
A lots of Slimes coming out
"Listen everyone! Your missions are to dodge this weak low level creatures attacks. But, if you can destroy it, you'll get a plus points."
The soldiers confused. They thought, this are too easy for them. Then Verduny cast a magic spells again and the magician warriors are glowing.
*murmur murmur murmur*
"QUIET! I just sealed your defensive magic. The magicians are too dependent on your defensive spells. Don't you know that's only slowing down your move? The knights are no different, you lots only depends on high quality armors and shields to defend yourself!" *menacing*
The soldiers became quiet. Verduny take out something from his storage rings
*clang clang clang*
A lot of low quality shields coming out.
"For the knights, you're only allowed to use this garbage stuff. Try to dodge if you can't withstand the slime's attack and use your fist to attack the slimes."
"Yes!" *the knights said it loud and firm together*
"For the magicians, you're only allowed to cast an offensive spells. Try to dodge and cast the spells at the same time. If you can't dodge them, try to run and cast the spells at the same time"
"Yes!" *the magicians said it loud and form together*
"Don't worry everyone, you won't die. The healers are here to keep you stay alive. I'll give you one warning. Don't underestimate the slimes, I was the one who summons them. But it's the weakest creatures that I've ever summons in my life. So it won't be too dangerous. Anyway, their attribute are fire."
The soldiers are quiets and get cold sweats.
"Don't waste more time, gather your positions!"
"Yes!"
The soldiers spread outs and the training started shortly.
"The four of you, you'll oversee this training. And help to evacuated the injuries then bring them to the healers."
"Yes, my Lord" *they said it together*
"If they're already healed, tell them to continue their training. If anyone dare to refuses, bring them to me." *smile creepily* *turn around* "Number 4, you'll record anyone who can beat the slimes and how much they beat it. But once they're evacuated, they'll start all over again. And stop the training at dusk. I'll be in my tent" *leaving*
*bows* "Yes, your Excellency"
