"Oh, sure! The imperial knight's training ground is perfect for that, or maybe..." Hannah responded with glee. She wanted to have a spar with Ariel as a fellow knight later. But, it wasn't near from here. Because of that, she glanced at Harold with a big smile. "Junior Harold, can you lend us a large training ground?"

"Good, you can use training ground four." Harold didn't mind at all. He actually intended to watch the magic practice as well.

"Nice, it's big enough for a spar between two Saints, hehe..." Hannah rubbed her hands together and glanced back at Ariel, but the latter just ignored her nonetheless.

"Then, it's decided. Shall we go now?" Evelyn dropped her fist into her open palm, feeling a little impatient to get going.

"It's fine right now. The others can come too." Hannah stood up and invited the others with enthusiasm in her eyes.

Ariel just nodded slightly and stood up, followed by the three girls next to her and the old wizard.

"All right, this is quite a rarity to see. I'll also come over to watch. Rosie, Fran, if you want, come to train with them." Harold asked his grandchildren to go with him.

"Yes, grandfather." Rosie and Fran nodded and joined Elysi's group. They were obviously also going to come, even if they weren't told to.

After that, Rosie's parents and Fran's parents would also come to watch. The group, which became quite large in number, went by three carriages to the training ground a few blocks near the mansion.

Harold and Hannah conveyed a few things to the training ground management, then they were escorted to training ground four.

The Reinhard Family's training grounds were frequently used by the Knight Association. Training ground four was empty, as Harold said. However, one to three was full of knights and academy students.

"This is training ground four. Please enjoy your time with fortuitous exercises." The escort gave a slight bow and pointed with his palm at the gate he had just opened.

"Hum." Harold gave a subtle nod before turning to the six knights who had come with him. "All of you, please guard here. I don't want anyone to break in and disturb us."

"Yes, sir!" The knights replied with a knight salute.

Harold just nodded and went inside to catch up with the girls who had entered first. After all those concerned had entered, the knights closed the gate and stood guard there.

"Hum, this is like a giant courtyard. The field is open and surrounded by high walls. Is this training ground usually used as a place for sparring?" Evelyn took a quick glance at her surrounding. She became curious about some of the rectangular lines on the training ground.

"Yes, this place is often used for sparring between knights over level 60. The white border that you indicate is a special zone with unique rules installed within it. As you can see, the size of each zone is different, so are the rules." Hannah came beside Evelyn with her explanation.

Then, she clapped her hands and pointed at the equipment racks. She said that for Apprentices and Beginners who would train in a particular training ground later. "Well, now we have arrived. Please change your clothes to protective clothing. Normal clothes like that will not protect you. At least, use leather armor or light armor like those provided there."

Hearing that, Elysia looked at her friends and vice versa. Rosie and Fran also looked at their clothes subconsciously.

The clothes they wore were indeed not suitable for sparring, especially in the special training zone. Additional protective gear was necessary to avoid injuries and wounds for magic training at this level.

Elysia glanced at the three Saint-level experts. Two of the three trainers were wearing high-grade protective armor, and one was wearing a special magic robe. Yet, she was only wearing adventurous clothes... It was so unfair based on the level of defense. Even though she knew they would be merciful.

"Let's equip ourselves with protective light armor." Elysia led her and walked first to the equipment rack. The other four immediately followed her because safety was paramount.

'Ely, choose the one in the row over there. The highest level equipment was stationed there. Well, even though it's only around level 30.' Elena pointed at the protective light armor sets on the farthest shelf. She helped her sweet little sister to choose fast and well.

'En, alright.' Elysia glanced at the designated equipment rack and walked over to it. Ella and Evelyn just followed her, while Rosie and Fran went in different directions.

After arriving there, Elysia asked the cat in her arms while stroking the cat's soft fur. 'Vann, I'll train for one to three hours. What are you going to do in the meantime?'

Vanessa stared at her master's face for a moment and answered. 'I will just watch from the side. Good luck with your training, master.'

'Thank you, Vann.' Elysia put Vanessa to the ground, but the cat took just a little distance and sat down to wait.

"Ely, which light armor will you use?" Ella caught a glimpse of the array of equipment glistening silver, but she became confused afterward.

"This one. You should also choose this silver light armor. Although the level looks pretty good, this equipment is only for protection. So, don't worry." Elysia pointed to a set of light armor of her choice.

Then, she took the breastplate armor and put it on. Yet, she had a hard time wearing it by herself. "Ella, please help me put on this light armor. I'll help you afterward."

"Sure." Ella nodded and immediately helped her friend without hesitation.

"Uhh, let me help you too." Evelyn joined in the fray and helped her best friend from the back.

For a few minutes, Elysia and her friends helped each other wear their light armor snugly and comfortably. Meanwhile, Rosie and Fran were already skilled at wearing such light armor, so there was no trouble for them.

After that, they returned closer to Ariel, Hannah, and Maximilian, who was waiting for them. The directions, guides, and a few other lessons were taught as preliminary before their magic exercises.

As soon as Elysia and the others finished warming up, they headed for one of the special sparring zones along with Ariel and two other Saint-level experts. That was the zone with an area of one to two times the soccer field.

"This is a normal open field without any rules installed in it. Go ahead and do as you like with any magic you want to try." Hannah invited with a hand gesture.

"Please try the magic techniques you learned yesterday and the one just now. If you are going to use non-elemental magic, make sure to stop when you feel something strange or different in your body. Don't lie or force yourself, understandable?" Ariel gave a reminder like a mother who worried about her children. The stern voice she used was inversely proportional to the expression on her face.

"Yes, ma'am!" Elysia and the others answered in unison. Back then, three Saint-level experts served as instructors for them.

After receiving nods from the three instructors, Elysia and the others took their positions within a certain distance. Then, small explosions and other magic techniques were unleashed through their elemental adjustments, based on the knowledge they had just learned. Evelyn and Ella tried their best to try new magic techniques, even though they still relied on Hypmond to cast magic.

'Hmm, magic that can deal physical damage. On a note, the magic should not be within a certain distance from the target. The shock wave or blast wave sounds pretty decent based on the science I was studying yesterday. Then, gravitational force can also be manipulated for magnetic energy. Or maybe, radiation can work too, hehe...' Elysia chuckled in her mind. She got lots of hints to enrich her imagination magic just from studying together all night.

'Ely, try to practice that. Everyone here knows that you are the Goddess's disciple. So you don't need to hide your abilities too much.' Elena rubbed her hands together as if she couldn't wait to see the result.

She knew very well that they were only good at magic, so they just had to focus on that. Well, Elysia's STR was too low and unreliable in many circumstances.

'En, alright.' Once convinced of herself, Elysia immediately played with her imaginative work to create something like a long-range shock wave as a starting test.

[| - 9,000 EP |]

*Blast*

The spherical blast from a mixture of wind and fire elements emerged in the air. The shockwave caused a mini crater in the ground and a gust of strong winds.

'Wow, it's quite a neat crater. The destructive power is the physical and magic you use is long distance, pretty. But, you've been extra careful to make one small, minimal destruction. However, it was still pretty awesome. About 2 nano percent of your total EP, Ely, hehe...' Elena came with her analysis, and Elysia nodded because it was indeed pretty good.

"Ely, what magic did you just use?" Evelyn looked at the crater in the distance with a little surprise. She didn't know much, but it was just incredible.

"I'm trying out physical attack magic, Eve. The one just now was a shockwave." Elysia kindly told her friend. When she turned her head, but the others stopped for a moment to look at her. "Umm, is there something wrong?"

"Hum, that's cool, Ely! Can I use magic like that too?" Evelyn jumped a little, wondering what she needed to do to make an explosion.

"Sure, let's dig deeper into your elemental wind magic first. Hmm, you also have a fire element affinity, Eve. So, it will be easy to create a small shock wave with wind and fire elements. You just need--" Elysia shared her insights a little even though the concept of magic she used was different.
