  We moved towards a building at the back of Gaziel-san's manor..

It was an inconspicuous building, except for the fact, that I can feel a barrier around the site..

A very strong one, at that..

When we reached the door, I could sense a faint trace of magic power from Gaziel-san's hands..

What was strange, was the fact that he didn't do any chant at all..

The strange feeling came back again, telling me something, what is it..

"Alright, let's enter the training arena, Orion-dono?"

Gaziel-san's voice snapped me out of my daydreaming..

"Is something wrong?"

He asks worriedly..

"Ah, no, it's fine, it's nothing, let's go then.."

I say to tell them it's fine not to worry..

But, what was I thinking about again?

Well, it must have been nothing of importance, since I forgot it that easily..

We enter through the doorway, and find another door, with a lock on it..

"Now, to get to the training area, we need to go underground, so that you guys can go all out without a problem, is that okay with you?"

"It's no problem, please, by all means.."

Talking politely is somewhat tiring..

"Excellent, then, watch your step, the stairs might be slippery if you're not careful.."

I take his precaution with a grain of salt, because I thought about how an underground stairway could become slippery, which yielded no results, so I thought it was just a gesture..

How wrong was I to think that..

In my eagerness, I walked faster down the stairwell..

But then..

*Slip*

"Huh? What? Ehhhhhhhhhh...."

*Crash*

*Roll*

*Boom*

*Sound of bones breaking*

*Crack*

*Crash*

I suddenly found myself tumbling around, going faster and faster, till I was this close to vomiting..

The world went up-side down and right-side up, over and over again..

I swear I heard my muscles tearing, and my bones breaking..

But it hurt even more, since my [Regenerative Aura] activated midway, causing it to repair, then break, then repair again..

It was hell, I automatically regretted my decision..

What I meant was, how long were the stairs here!

It lasted for about a few minutes before I reached the ground..

Fortunately, I made it here faster than everyone else, so I got that going for me..

Who am I kidding, I should have listened to Gaziel-san..

I slowly stand up and stretch, dusting myself off..

When I find, something stuck on my clothes, a jelly-like substance..

It was then, that I heard footsteps from the stairs..
