Chapter 97 - Gift from Earth dungeon part 2 (2/2)
”So pretty. Brother Ash, can we have it?” [Elise]
”Nope!” [Ash]
”Come on!” [Elise]
”Ash, don't do that to them...” [Diana]
”Yeah, that's mean” [Haliza]
”They're still children if you ask me, so no. I mean, I might consider giving it to Seo Ah, or maybe Elise if she really, really wanted to, but no. If I gave it to them, the other will become jealous” [Ash]
”Regrettable but I do agree” [Mira]
”Same here” [Qis]
”Then how about giving us the metal? We can use it to make some super strong armor!” [Savel]
”I can imagine it now! My large sword cleaving the enemy!” [Singa]
”That will be cool!” [Little boy]
”Nope” [Ash]
”EEEHHH!!!” [Boys]
”And why is that?” [Kanji]
”I will sell them and use it as an emergency fund for the Orphanage” [Ash]
”I see” [Kana]
”Well, enough chatting for now. Let us start some training” [Ash]
”Yes!” [Kids]
”They sound disappointed” [Thug D]
”Can you blame them” [Thug F]
Well, for the first practice, I'll have all of them to be divided into several groups, with each group having kids from Estel and Malsia orphanage. Those back at Estel are better at chantless magic as compared to those at Malsia, plus, they are also being trained by me longer as compared to those in Malsia (in which, this is their first training session inside the dungeon with me).
Their training is simple, just do what I do at their own luxury pace. They can be fast, slow or have boulders come at them for all they want, but what important is that they must know not only their limits, but also others as well. This will also serve as communication training for them as they have to relay information from time to time so that they can avoid getting hurt by those monsters.
(Well, I did cover them with my mana, so they will only get some scratch) [Ash]
Well, I can cover them completely and had no scratch should they get hit, but sometimes, you have to make the choice that you dislike for the benefit of others. In this case, I have to make them getting hurt just a little bit as to make them take their training seriously. Sorry in advance but yeah, it's for your own good.
And they started. All of them started slowly, well almost all of them. Zerolith, Singa, Savel and few boys in this group started hastily and get overwhelmed by the number of rock monsters attacking them. Yup, they quickly learn an important lesson. Still, I'm glad they're fine. It can't be helped that they feel some pain, but otherwise, it only leave a scratch mark here and there. That's all
Still...
(I can't find the crystal that Diana's mentioned. Should I consider searching it in other places?) [Ash]
