At the Training Grounds.

Vivian swept her gaze around the area.

Based on her estimate, it was at the very least as large as 1 and a half football courts.

There was an outdoor training area that wasn't currently being used. There were also buildings and some of them looked like were being used as indoor training areas.

Criselle was leading her to one of the buildings used as an indoor training area.

When they entered the building, Vivian was surprised.

It was as big as 2 and a half basketball courts and there were several people, both men and women, inside training. Some were training hand-to-hand combats, while others were using weapons. And as for their attire, all genders were wearing shirts and pants, but there were a few men who wore a sleeveless shirt or went topless.

Vivian knitted her brows.

"Using real weapons is allowed here? Well, I guess it makes sense given that Priests have [Heal]."

Although there were some using wooden weapons, others were using actual weapons.

"Real weapons aren't allowed here. Those have been dulled. After all, a stick can only be so heavy and durable, especially as you grow stronger," Criselle said and then pointed. "Look over there."

Vivian turned to where she was pointing and saw a row of weapons -- swords, daggers, axes, spears, maces and etc. Some were made of wood, while others were made of steel.

Seeing the steel weapons, she gulped.

"Are we allowed to use them outside of the compound...?"

"No, it's prohibited. Those are used for training only."

Despite that, Vivian's eyes still burned as she stared at the weapons, especially the ones whose Physical Art she hadn't unlocked yet.

Can I unlock their Level 1 if I just swing or hit people without killing them...?

She glanced at Criselle.

I've never hit a woman before...

But given that she has volunteered to be my sparring partner, I guess it's fine that I'll use her as my guinea pig, right...?

She's also been part of this Temple for years and is also White Cloak...

So she's strong and definitely has [Heal] or [Greater Heal]...

So it's DEFINITELY fine to use her as a guinea pig, RIGHT...?

Vivian's lips slowly curled up into a smile.

Criselle stopped and turned to Vivian.

"Sister Vivian?"

Vivian immediately wiped off the smile on her face and put on an innocent expression.

"Yes, Sister Criselle?"

"You're here to open your [Fire Mastery], right?"

"Yes."

"It seems like the person in charge of checking the Affinities isn't here yet. I'm going to ask the others. Please wait here."

"Okay."

Criselle jogged over to one of the people standing at the side observing people training.

A moment later, Criselle was heading back to Vivian and she was accompanied by a dark-skinned man in his mid-30s wearing a sleeveless white shirt and brown pants. When the two reached Vivian, it was the man who spoke first.
