“So have you come back to relax for a while?”

“No, actually…”

Mr. Hiya asked about the nature of our visit, so I explained the situation.

“Hmm. Retraining, eh?”

“Would that be all right?”

“Of course.”

The elf teachers agreed to my request right away.

“First, could you show us the results of your training in the labyrinth?”

Lined up in front of Mr. Hiya and the other elf teachers, my group nodded.

We were in a wide-open wasteland outside Bolenan Forest thanks to the forest fairy Dryad’s fairy ring teleportation. Miss Aaze and Lua had come along, too.

Once the girls gave their affirmation, Mr. Hiya turned to Aaze.

“Lady Aaze, produce a spirit for training, please.”

“Is a behemoth all right?”

“No.”

One of the taciturn elf teachers rejected Aaze’s choice.

A behemoth was a pseudo-spirit that looked like a cross between an elephant and a hippopotamus, but it was level 50 and the size of a destroyer ship. It was probably a bit too strong for a practice battle for my party.

“If you’d prefer one with a physical body, perhaps a spirit of the wasteland or the sand?” Lua suggested.

“That sounds more like it.” Hiya nodded. “Could you, Lady Aaze?”

“Of course! …”

Miss Aaze began the long Spirit Magic chant. When it was finished, rocks and dirt from the wasteland gathered together to form a giant golem-like monster.

It certainly looked more like a living creature than the golems I’d made with Create Earth Servant.

This spirit was level 40, so it should be about the same degree of strength as the areamaster.

“I’ve transferred command to you.”

“Thank you.”

Taking over the wasteland spirit from Aaze, Hiya tested out his control for a moment before having the spirit face my group.

“Are you ready?”

“But of course!”

Arisa responded on the others’ behalf.

I stepped back with Aaze, Rei, and the other spectators to watch the fight with the elf teachers.

“A-amazing…”

“Were they always this strong?”

Rei and Yuuneia were surprised.

“They’ve been training hard in the labyrinth.”

As I responded to the sisters, I peered over at the elf teachers.

Hmm?

For some reason, their expressions were a little strange.

At first, they looked as impressed as Aaze, Rei, and Yuuneia, but as the battle approached its final stages, they were beginning to frown a little.

Just as I was about to ask about it, my party’s fight ended.

The wasteland spirit turned back into clumps of earth.

“Victoryyy?”

“Sir!”

The girls lined up in front of the teachers again, looking eager for praise.

“You’ve gotten a lot stronger…”

Pochi’s teacher, Miss Poa, stepped out from among the teachers.

The girls began to smile at her complimentary words.

“…but it’s a dangerous kind of strength.”

At her strongly negative tone, my kids’ faces froze.

“Do you understand why?”

“Because we’re too focused on offense, perhaps?”

Liza ventured to answer the question from Mr. Shiya, Tama’s teacher.

“No. Because you’re depending too much on Satou.”

“B-but we…”

Arisa started to protest but trailed off.

“If worse comes to worst, Satou will step in. You don’t have to be too careful, because you know he’ll protect you. That’s what you’re thinking, isn’t it?”

The girls hung their heads at Shiya’s accusation.

“Don’t look away.”

Poa started to scold them further, but Hiya stopped her and continued.
