When Allan stepped into his room he thought that they must have put much thought into this. The rooms were by far not as luxurious as some hotel rooms in his old world, but he never expected that from the start. The rooms were just large enough that two people could live comfortably in them, while, as the leader, Cale's room was two times as large, enough for the seven of them to meet up.

The furniture was of high quality and even the mattress on their large beds were much better than Allan expected.

The only downside to their rooms would be the absence of windows, but even that wasn't a big problem, the air was fresh thanks to some kind of magic device, and much more important, the rooms were in extremely safe locations. As they were on the first floor they would have a long time to prepare before enemies would be able to reach them and because they were not located at the outside wall, even a bombardment from the outside couldn't reach them immediately.

When they woke up on the next day, they were greeted each by a servant , shocking some of them greatly. After the servants informed them that the day was set aside for them to rest since their training would start on the next, they were given clothes that fit them so perfectly that they wondered if they were measured in their sleep.

Only when they asked if they could take a walk were they given an identification card that would proof their ident.i.ties as important guests to the guards.

The day ended with them having a luxurious meal, and they all fell in their beds early, everyone with different feelings about their situation.

Only afterwards did they realize that they should have cherished that day a little more.

The next month could only be described as exhausting.

Every morning, shortly after sunrise, were they greeted by the servants that stood already in their rooms to beginn their new routines.

At first they would have a light breakfast. And directly after that they would absorb energy to increase their levels, and since they still weren't used to the process, they couldn't absorb much at one time.

Then the activity's of the day would start.

For the first four hours of the day they were taught different subjects. They were taught what everyone ought to have, but which is much harder to learn in a short time than one would think. Right, it was nothing else but this monster of human society called ‚common sense'. That difficulties one faced when trying to tame this monster were even for the teachers almost to much. This got very obvious as even their teacher caught himself answering some of the heroes questions just with:

„It's common sense."

Only to realize once again that it was this what he was supposed to teach.

After that thy were again given energy to absorb if they had properly ‚digested' the previous portion, and then continued with the next lessons.

Those were the basic lessons on magic. Here they were put in two different groups. One group with those who still needed to learn the [magic power] skill, focused on achieving that goal. The second group obviously those who had already reached that goal, and were now taught according to their [talent]'s and affinity with the different elements.

After around two weeks almost all of them were already part of the second group, and only Aya, at first the most excited and motivated one of them, needed almost two times as long. Clearly, her [talent] was that of an purely physical fighter. The only thing that saved her from a mental breakdown was that, compared to a normal person she was still very talented and abnormally fast, to learn the skill took even considered talented if one took three times as long as her. In fact, she was talented, just not for a hero.

When they got their lunch, and a new ‚meal' of energy, they finally got their first break for the day, which was basically just long enough for them to make their way to their last lessons of the day, and clearly the most important ones as well.

Their personal training. For most of them those were a mix if physical fighting and more specialized magic training. But in Allans case that part was clearly much different, as he got interchangeably trained by the best blacksmiths, alchemists and enchanters that the crown had available.

To make the training more effective, give Allan the best working environment possible as well as a certain level of secrecy, the King build a laboratory c.u.m workshop according to Allans specifications on a free s.p.a.ce between the Alchemy and Magic towers and the blacksmith. The location a little bit hidden, as it was on the right side behind the castle, almost opposite of the trainingsfield and barracks, a place were only few people would find themselves.

Actually, already after the first two weeks they should have been able to take that schedule without much problem, considering that they still got roughly eight hours of sleep daily. If one looked at the fact, that with increasing stats one would be able to keep going for a longer time without the need for sleep, at the end of the month they were only tired when night came because their brains thought that it was supposed to be like that.

Julia and Allan were the only ones that got used to the decreased need for sleep rather fast, as one was used to regular nights.h.i.+fts in a hospital and the other to long nights in the laboratory without even getting home oftentimes. So the both of them just continued like in their previous worlds, just being thankful that they didn't get tired while doing so.

When Allan looked at his stats at the end of the month he got very satisfied with himself.
