Whilst time flew by relatively quickly in Asai's opinion. For the trainees, it felt like months. Months of having to endure training throughout the day, and actual combat during the night. Power napping in-between the two, forcefully growing their bodies. If it wasn't for the fact that they actually felt stronger, as their blows felt more impactful, as well as their increasing stamina and endurance.

In addition to the occasional acquisition of new skills, supposedly given to them under the goddess' gaze as they continued to battle her minions and progress through her trial. The three may have already gone insane, losing themselves in this hell hole of a world.

Void of any other person but just the four of them. Surrounding by clones, and Asai's undead skeletons that never spoke, nor showed any emotion. A world that was missing even the simplest of joys, such as the chirpings of a bird, or the crowing of a rooster at dawn.

And just like any other day, only Duke Trichia appeared to be enjoying himself. Glad to be stuck in this world until day 40. Truly, the rumours they had heard of the man. That detailed him to be a warmonger, a battle-junkie. A man who lived and hoped to die by the sword. A newfound sense of respect grew within them, as they wondered as to how strong, Robin, Chloe and Violet's mental-strength were, to be able to follow this man through all variations of hell.

"Amazing, simply amazing. These guys don't know how good they have it. They're literally being boosted by me, whilst their food and nutrients is being shoved into their mouths via whatever Goddess is governing this dimension.

I personally had to scour the lands, in search of my own prey and nutrients. 

Really, I need to thank Her Majesty, Victoria, when I get back to the real world."

For the 75th time, within 25 days of arriving here. For breakfast, lunch and dinner. The young duke who only cared about carbohydrates, vitamins and proteins. Cooked up another portion of their military rations.

Miku, Oliver and Olivia, although wanting to voice their complaints about eating the same exact dish over and over again. Kept their thoughts to themselves, believing this to be one of Asai's many trials or tests. Testing them, seeing how perfect of a soldier they could be in times of stress, both in physical capacity and mental.

As such, they spooned more of the food into their mouths before swallowing.

..

After their meal, Asai began to mentor them. Whilst Oliver duelled against multiple clones, since his level was now higher than the phantom clones. Olivia found herself filled with joy and excitement. Like the heroes within her childhood stories, she was firing overhead, astral projections of a staff brimming with divinity that slammed into the target ground. Stunning all 10 of the undead skeletons that Asai summoned.

Although having dealt no damage, inflicting a group wide status infliction was extremely useful. Complimented the duke.

Miku, who now truly considered herself to be Asai's personal protégé, as she found herself growing within his shadow. Unlocking skills that were greatly similar to his. Now had a shadow clone of her own, appearing very lifelike. She began upkeeping the skill to her utmost, thus providing the duke with two bodyguards. And hopefully, back in the manor, would become two cute maids who appeared as twins.

Which, she imagined would become amazing bodyguards. Whilst her real self would serve the duke as a petite maid. Her clone could easily sacrifice itself, as a human shield in the events of an attack.

...

Within Asai Trichia's POV. He almost felt like a father figure to the three. Although not being that much older, seeing them grow, levelling so fast bought a tear to his eyes. Both in joy of them progressing, and also in unfairness that he had to work so hard to reach his current position. Yet, they were being fed with golden spoons, both from a duke and a heavenly being.

"Where was my golden spoon when I needed it most!?"

The young duke could only reminisce, of all the deadly battles in which he nearly died. Especially the time when a giant ugly scorpion was pummelling his face like a punching bag. In addition to when Clam, Gary, Chloe and Robin had perished within the very same Scorpion's realm. Something in which he now believed to be a test from the heavens. 

A similar test, to the one he was currently going through with his little trainees.

Hopefully, this time, they won't die.
