After forcing Nan Tian to sleep for a while, the three of them made their way to the training hall since it was time to train Glen and Celeste.

However, looking down on her chair Shiro thought for a moment before wanting to change the colour using her nanobots.

"What? Are you going to stop me from changing the colour in front of my students?" Shiro pouted since her image would go down the drain if they saw their teacher in a pink wheelchair!

"Haha you misunderstand. I was going to offer you this wheelchair instead since it's better than using your nanobots." Nan Tian laughed, pulling out a perfectly normal wheelchair.

". . . ."

Standing up, Shiro held her dagger as Nan Tian quickly jogged towards the training hall.

Massaging her eyes, Shiro sat down in the normal wheelchair and made her way towards the training hall.

From what Niimue had told her, the two already knew about her injuries since she spilled the beans.

Upon arriving at the training hall, she could see Nan Tian waiting by the side and couldn't help but shake her head.

"Next time just use the normal wheelchair first. Also why do you have so many wheelchairs in your inventory? Do you have a thing for crippled people?" Shiro asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well considering the fact that you seem to cripple yourself often, I would say I do indeed have a thing for a certain crippled person." Nan Tian smirked.

"Still doesn't explain why you have so many wheelchairs. Isn't one enough?" Shiro asked as Nan Tian shook his head.

"I wasn't sure if you were going to break that pink one immediately so I had spares made." He smiled.

Snapping his fingers, four more identical pink wheelchairs appeared as Shiro was speechless.

Staying silent, it took her a moment before shaking her head.

"Let's just go train the two." She sighed as Nan Tian nodded.

Wheeling her into the training hall, they saw that Glen and Celeste were already here and doing some light sparring with one another.

Hearing the doors open, the two of them looked over and saw Shiro sitting in a wheelchair with Attie in her laps. Nan Tian was behind the two and was currently wheeling her in.

Blinking their eyes in surprise, they didn't expect to see Shiro in a wheelchair.

"Ignore the wheelchair. Today Nan Tian will be training you since as you know, I'm injured and he doesn't want me to move around." Shiro sighed, wanting to keep the explanation short.

"Nan Tian, this is the file on their performance. You might want to quickly go through it before starting the lesson."

Passing over a set of doc.u.ments that she had complied over the past few days, Shiro wheeled her chair to one side and watched silently with Attie on her lap.

"Let's see… Hmm… Alright. Well aren't you two talented." Nan Tian chuckled as he looked up at the two standing in front of him.

"Alright, reading is one thing and experiencing is another. I want you two to attack me with the intent to kill ok?" Nan Tian smiled as the two furrowed their brows.

"Don't worry, you two won't be able to kill me but I want to see what you can do." Nan Tian laughed seeing their confusion and worry.

"Just do it. If he dies I'll revive him." Shiro called out as the two looked at each other before shrugging.

Before he could even say start, Celeste immediately entered berserk form and lashed out towards him.

While this happened, Glen compressed his power and appeared behind Nan Tian with his sword, ready to swing at his neck.

"So eager. I didn't even say start yet haha." Nan Tian laughed.

Taking out a single dagger, he parried Glen's blade and redirected it towards Celeste while ducking under the two of them.

Seeing that his sword was about to cut her, Glen quickly twisted his body to move the sword away.

Looking at the two that crashed into one another, Shiro face palmed since this was going to be a long day.

It was good that they were trying out new options in battle but they have only figured out step one. They didn't think about how to follow up.

'I suppose they're still pretty new to fighting. It's normal to be eager.' Shiro thought to herself as she sent a message to Silvia, asking her to come to the training hall. Since Nan Tian wanted her to rest, it was better that Silvia heals them.

Nan Tian's training was a little different. He hardly attacked back and only used their attacks against each other. Allowing them to experiment with new techniques safely without being too worried of injuries. However, they still didn't attack him with the intent to kill which was a little disappointing for him but it wasn't too bad.

After training for a while, the two were left panting on the ground while Nan Tian was as calm as usual.

"I like your training. Can we have your training more often?" Celeste asked as Nan Tian laughed.

"Unfortunately no. I have an important mission you see." He replied while Silvia healed their fatigue.

"Ehh… Disappointing." Celeste frowned.

Glancing over at Glen, Nan Tian could tell that he was spacing out a little.

"What are you thinking about?" Nan Tian asked.

"It's just that I think I liked Nimue's training a little more. I don't like pain but I think that sense of danger helped my reaction." Glen replied while looking at his hands.

"Ahh I understand. With that sense of danger, your body is sent into a state of fighting for survival. The adrenaline that pulses through your body makes combat a little easier. But you see, you have to learn how to enter this state even without that sense of danger since there are times in the future where you'll see enemies that can hide their killing intent and before you know it, you're already dead." Nan Tian explained with a smile.

"For example, Shiro is hiding a lot of killing intent right now. If she was to release all of it, I believe her passive skill would freeze the entire city." Nan Tian smiled, glancing over at Shiro to make sure that his information is correct.

"You're not wrong. If I release some now, I can freeze everyone in the room." Shiro nodded her head as Celeste sat up.

"Is it like Shiina's ice thing?" She asked as Shiro nodded but stronger.

"Do you want to experience it?" Shiro asked with a small chuckle.

Thinking about it for a moment, Celeste has a bad feeling so she shook her head.

"Can you do it to the room and not to me?" She asked as Shiro nodded.

Narrowing her eyes, a tiny portion of her killing intent leaked out as ice immediately started to form around the room.

Despite not being targeted by this, Celeste could already feel a creeping sense of death as her face paled and sweat dripped down her face.

"There, how was it?" Shiro smiled, hiding her intent once more.

Seeing the ice around him, Attie's aura flared softly and the ice on the wheelchair started to melt away before drying up almost instantly.

"Thank you." Shiro smiled, patting Attie's head as he smiled up at her.

"Can I do it too?" Celeste asked after taking a moment to calm herself.

"You can. But it takes a bit of training. Though I'm sure you'll be fine." Shiro reassured since using killing intent wasn't that difficult.

With the two rested up, Nan Tian did a bit more training with them before stopping the session for now.

"Do we know how many hours until the relic appears?" Shiro asked as she was now sitting in the command room with everyone else in the party including Nan Tian since having an extra pair of hands would be helpful.

"The system hasn't said anything yet so we're not sure. But with how much the mana's increased, I think it'll appear in less than 12 hours. The surroundings have already started to change. The temperature has started to drop and some of the monsters roaming around were killed by the environment. The trees have been completely turned to ice and those that survive this environment are empowered with powerful ice abilities." Isilia replied as she had been looking at the reports. With the environment being so cold, it'll be difficult to fight without proper ice resistance.

"Hm I can make accessories that give everyone ice resistance so I'm not too worried about that. What about the corrosive aura, is it still there?" Shiro asked with a frown since that's her main worry.

"Yes it is. In fact, it's more powerful now. Previously, the drones could enter for roughly a minute or so but now they can't even stay in there for more than 30 seconds. Around the 10 second mark, the parts keeping it afloat starts breaking so it's more accurate to say that the drones can only fly for 10 seconds in the aura." Isilia sighed.

"Mn… For now, I want Helion to gear everyone up with a decent set of armour. We'll be heading out tomorrow morning to find a good spot to watch everything that happens. If the corrosive aura doesn't disappear, we'll have no choice but to destroy everything in that area." Shiro narrowed her eyes as Estrella knew what Shiro was thinking about.
