"This is the training room where we train our future soldiers. We will test how far you can make it and what we must teach you next. Don't worry if the test is too much for you. We can stop at any ti you want us to."
Kristia explained with a patient voice. Amane could tell that Kristia needed more confidence in Amane and her powers. He was underestimating Amane's powers and her body's condition.
'Well, it makes sense for Kristia to be cautious of my powers. I was inside the rift for a long ti. Most people would not have survived or been healthy after that.'
But Amane was not a 'normal' person, and it was ti for her to prove it. She walked into the chamber and looked around.
The training chamber looked like an ordinary room with white walls dominating the landscape. White was everywhere when you looked, and no other colour dominated the scene.
Amane blinked her eyes a few tis to get rid of the white when Kristia's voice washed over her.
"Are you ready? We will be starting this trail now."
Kristia inford before the building began to shake and deform. The white finally faded, and Amane felt waves of transformation magic change the scene around her. She closed her eyes so the white around her did not blind her.
When she opened her eyes, she was surprised that a lot had changed.
The room no longer looked white but had tints of green and blue. It looked like a forest, and Amane could feel a lot of presence around her.
"We will start slow and increase the difficulty as ti passes. All you must do is to survive until the end. You can give up anyti; tell if it becos too much for you. This atmosphere is not for everyone."
Kristia inford before Amane felt the first wave of monsters hit her. These were the basic formless monsters who could not be categorised. They were stray energies that had taken a form and wanted energy from a living person.
Amane grabbed a sword from her inventory. One slice of the blade was enough to kill a monster. There were only a few monsters, so this round was easy.
'This was a little too easy. Anyone who has a problem with such an easy monster does not deserve to be a fighter.'
This was Amane's opinion. But these people were desperate since they did not have many people on their side. Humanity was falling behind day by day. So, they took what they could and trained their soldiers.
"You did well for your first fight. Then, we shall up the difficulty of this challenge."
Kristia promised before the second wave of monsters attacked Amane. But these were also quickly dealt with.
At this point, it was sufficient to say that Amane needed a challenge. These small fries would not do. She was highly skilled in combat, and Kristia was beginning to realise it.
'This is amazing and terrifying at the sa ti. Amane would be a great ally but a great foe if she ever switched sides or decided to go to the enemy side.'
And this was what Kristia was worried about - Amane getting controlled by a god. He did not want to put dangerous beasts against Amane, but now it did not feel like he had a choice.
"Alright, we will be upping the difficulty a little more. Please, do tell if it becos too much. I do not want you to get hurt."
Kristia begged one last ti before he pressed the button. The next opponent in front of Amane was not a monster but a low-level beast. It was small, barely the size of a puppy, but it had vicious teeth and a fierce temper.
It was a little thing, but Amane could see its sharp teeth and poisonous claws. At this point, most people would be too terrified to move.
This tiny beast might look normal, but Amane could feel waves of ferociousness rolling off it. It wanted to attack and bite her. And if this beast succeeded, there would be a world of pain waiting for those bitten.
"Tsk, you are a ferocious little thing, huh? Are you going to attack now?"'
Amane asked, and the puppy growled before it ran toward her. The puppy was unafraid of Amane and tried to nick her leg. But Amane picked that daring little thing by the back of its neck.
The puppy struggled to get down and shook its body. An average human would have lost their grip by now. But Amane was even more determined to hold tight on this puppy.
"Tsk, sit still, you naughty thing. You are making annoyed by constantly moving around. Do you want to get into trouble?"
Amane asked, and the puppy pretended not to understand her at first. But then it whimpered and bowed its head in submission.
"Good boy. I knew that you would understand what I was talking about. Why don't you be a good boy and stop struggling too."
Amane's voice was soft but full of command. The beast instantly understood that it had no chance of winning. So, it stopped struggling and looked at Amane to ask what it needed to do next.
This display shocked Kristia beyond words. This was the first ti he had seen anyone handle a beast like this.
'T-This is just like the folktales that Mom told about. This is the special ability that the head of the Tsurugi family possessed and why the Archlord captured them in the first place.'
Kristia knew this was a precious ability, so he hid it from the world. Amane was a precious asset to him and an investnt as well.
'I tested her in the basic skills. But I should up the difficulty one last ti. If this power is what I believe it to be, then the tides of this war are about to change.'
Kristia believed that Amane was the one he had been waiting for…. they all had been waiting for.
"Amane, good work. We shall try one last thing before we call it a day."
Kristia inford her before he looked down at the last setting. No one had faced the drake before and ca out without feeling scared. A lot of people had been traumatised by the illusion as well.
There was a good chance that Amane would not be able to handle it either. But Kristia still had hope in Amane and her abilities. He felt as if he could trust Amane not to break.
'I know she can do it. I have faith in her, and her aura feels unafraid.'
These feelings of his made Kristia take a deep breath before pressing the final button.
The puppy in Amane's arms disappeared, and the room flashed yellow before Amane stood in the middle of a desert.
A loud cry rang over Amane's head, and she looked up to see a drake. It looked huge and intimidating. But it had nothing over a dragon and its powers.
'Speaking of dragons, I never t Moony, I an, Kagura inside the rift, right? Where did she go? No one talked about her either.'
Amane had only thought about Kagura a long ti ago. The rift kept her thoughts busy and on survival. But this was the first ti Amane felt free and mindless enough to think about trivial things.
Her expression looked lost, and Kristia felt worried for her. He wanted to stop this experint and return everything to normal.
'There is no need for to be this worried. Should I stop now?'
Kristia thought, and his hand hovered above the 'give-up' button. But the drake was faster than Kristia, and it attacked Amane.
"Shit, I am so sorry. I will stop this stimulation and-"
Amane did not even flinch as the drake headed toward her. It was a dangerous action, and Kristia should be stopping it. But Kristia's instincts told him to sit back and watch for so ti.
'I don't think I should interfere in this. I have a feeling that Amane will be able to survive just fine.'
Kristia closed his eyes and braced himself for the sound of an impact. But no such sound ca. Instead, flapping wings becoming softer reached his ears, and he opened his eyes.
The drake had landed in front of Amane and looked at her. It sniffed at her before liking what it slled of her and leaning more into her.
It was testing Amane like another drake, a playmate even. And this was sothing Kristia had never seen before.
Amane was also milking this mont, petting the drake and letting it sniff her hand. She seed to know what she was doing.
"What are you doing? Don't you know how dangerous engaging with a drake like this is? You can lose your life if you are not careful."
Kristia warned Amane, but he was jealous of her. He wanted to try petting a drake as well. But he knew he would be torn to pieces if he tried to do such a thing.
'I cannot believe I am jealous of soone petting a drake. This is fine, and I do not need to pet a drake either.'
"Krista, have you ever taken a ride on drake's back? If not, then would you like to take one now? I am sure this kid would not mind indulging you a little, right?"
Amane asked the drake, and it purred in agreent. It seed dolce and harmless now.
