Go back? There's no going back.

"No, no need, Miss Elsie... Miss Elsie is usually so busy, there is no need to trouble her."

Hearing this, Su Wei shook his head again to express his refusal.

At this point, the entire entrance hall fell into a strange silence.

"Well, I'm going out... No, I'm going back. I'll wash the blanket and send it over."

After waiting for a while and making sure that the princess in front of him had nothing else to tell him, Su Wei took a deep breath, wrapped the blanket tightly around him again, and opened the door: "Good night, and have a good dream."

"..."

The entrance door in front of her slowly closed again. Celsia's expression froze slightly as she stared at Su Wei, who had walked out of the palace and returned to the evening breeze.

Her lips moved and she subconsciously raised her hand and reached towards the back of a little kid.

But in the end... she seemed to remember something, fell silent for a moment, and the expression between her brows gradually became gloomy.

Her left hand silently wrapped around her right hand, and she looked down at the ring in her hand that was faintly reflecting silver light.

After a long silence, she took a deep breath, raised her hands and patted her cheeks gently.

"……It doesn't matter."

"Next time, next time I will definitely be able to ask."

***

"Oh, the heat preservation effect of this thing... seems to be better than I thought?"

Leaving the First Palace and walking on the deserted street outside the courtyard, Su Wei looked down in surprise at the blanket wrapped around him.

Although his entire face was chilled by the evening breeze within seconds after he came out, his upper body, which was only wearing an inner lining under the blanket, was surprisingly warm.

...Or, during this period of time, I might as well just wrap myself in a blanket and go out?

As such a somewhat strange thought came to his mind, Su Wei shook his head and laughed.

A few minutes later, he slightly quickened his pace and crossed the street outside the First Palace, leaving the area that was off-limits to ordinary people.

It was almost nine o'clock in the evening. Perhaps it was because the weather was too cold or a shower had just passed, Su Wei came to a crossroads and looked around, but he could not see any animal carts soliciting passengers.

After a long silence, as if he suddenly remembered something, Su Wei took out the magic communication device in his arms, pressed a few numbers and dialed.

Beep--

"Hello? This is the contact hotline for the Forward-Looking-Forward Training Camp. How can I help you? Please speak quickly. It will be time to get off work in a few minutes."

After a short wait, the call was connected, and the real-time communication screen of the other end popped up on the magic device in Su Wei's hand.

At the same time, a lazy and impatient male voice came to Su Wei's ears.

"…My name is Su Wei. You should know me. I'm the magic department special recruit who joined the training camp a few days ago."

Looking at the yawning receptionist on the screen, Su Wei was quiet for a moment, and gradually a hint of arrogance appeared on his face: "I just went out of the training camp to do something. It's a bit cold outside now, and I can't get a taxi on the way back... Before my mood gets worse, I suggest you send someone to pick me up as soon as possible."

Although he could ask for support in a more friendly and gentle tone, considering the internal atmosphere of the training camp mentioned by the bodyguard before, Su Wei simply put on a different face.

Many times, the more friendly you speak, the lower the efficiency of communication will be.

"Are you the student Su Wei from that day?!"

As expected, after hearing Su Wei's name, the originally carefree liaison officer suddenly shuddered all over, and even his sitting posture became serious.

"Hello, where are you now? We will arrange a car to pick you up right away."

Especially after noticing the undisguised impatience on Su Wei's face, the liaison officer's tone instantly became even more respectful.

"I'm the one wearing a blanket at the intersection near the First Palace. You should be able to see me when you get there. Hurry up."

Su Wei raised his chin and looked at people with a look of impatience on his face.

"Right away, right away!"

After saying this, the liaison officer in the picture ran out of the studio in a hurry.

"..."

Seeing this, Su Wei also let out a long sigh and hung up the phone directly. The expression on his face, as if he was about to pick a fight with someone in the next second, also disappeared.

Next, just as he expected, not long after, a beast cart with its wheels almost scraping sparks on the ground approached at high speed from a distance and finally stopped in front of Su Wei.

"Are you student Su Wei? Please get in the car."

"Ah."

After exchanging a glance with the eager-looking academy driver, Su Wei put his hands behind his back and stepped into the carriage.

Different from the common animal carriages outside, the carriages in this training camp, like the royal animal carriages, are equipped with heating function.

Moreover, when he came to pick me up, the heating seemed to have been turned on in advance.

Sitting down on the soft seat, feeling the warmth all around him, Su Wei leaned his upper body back on the chair and sighed with contentment.

Well, you know what, this method... is really useful.

"Excuse me...are you going back to the dormitory directly now?"

After a while, the animal cart passed through the main gate and Su Wei returned to the training camp comfortably.

"No, take me to the training ground."

Hearing the driver's question, Su Wei shook his head.

Although he had left in a hurry and encountered some twists and turns along the way, Su Wei did not forget why he left the hotel and rushed to the First Palace in the first place.

Apart from the fact that he was so angry at a certain fox fairy at home that he had a subtle resonance with the princess and realized that he had to apologize to the princess immediately... the rest was to come out and deal with the things that he would need during the hibernation period after the fox fairy.

Although the fox fairy looks soft and easy to bully, and in fact he is easy to bully, but... he is already an adult after all.

During the time when she took the Holy Spirit Medicine and was recuperating, it was impossible for Su Wei to just book a room and leave her there.

He planned to go directly to Tianbao Pavilion and buy a "space hut" that would be able to completely solve this problem.

However, since the pavilion's business hours are from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., it is closed at this moment, so there is no point for Su Wei to go there now.

Besides, he didn't want to go back and continue to be irritated by some stubborn guy who didn't know how to love himself before buying the house.

After comprehensive consideration, he simply returned to the training camp and prepared to practice all night on the training ground.

He will wait until the treasure pavilion opens tomorrow morning, buy the space cabin there, and then go back.

Moreover, if you calculate carefully, the effect of the magic-enhancing capsule that Su Wei took during the day has almost spread throughout his body.

It’s almost time to fully absorb the effects of the medicine through training.

Not long after, the animal cart Su Wei was riding in slowly slowed down and stopped in front of the main entrance of a large spherical building in the training camp.

"Thank you for your hard work."

After stepping out of the carriage, Su Wei took out his wallet and stuffed the remaining dozen silver coins into the driver's hand.

After doing this, without caring about the other party's reaction of whether to refuse or not, he turned and walked towards the large training ground behind him.

"...Oh, there are still so many people here at this late hour."

As soon as he pushed open the main door, Su Wei was slightly startled by the heat wave that rushed towards him.

Looking at the huge crowds of people in the square inside, and the roars and shouts that came one after another and sounded particularly energetic, Su Wei was stunned for a moment, but after he came to his senses, he walked in without hesitation.

"Hmm... Let me see, magic department, magic department..."

Although the entire training ground covers a large area, the guidance is quite good.

Even though Su Wei had just arrived, he easily found the magic department's training ground by following the signboards along the way.

"Let me see, the purity of magic power... magic skills... actual combat drills..."

Looking at the introduction table of several magic training areas in front of him, Su Wei was silent for a moment, turned around, and walked straight to the training room that focused on improving the purity of magic power.

If the latter two are to train students' practical abilities, then the purity of magic power is the basis for improving students.

Hunter... Demon Hunter to be more precise.

Except for a few special cases, there are strict requirements on the purity of a demon hunter's magic power at every promotion threshold, from apprentice to elite demon hunter.

"Welcome, student number ****1201."

"The training room you are assigned this time has been confirmed. It is Room 2-179 in the Magic Purity Area. Please go there on time."

After taking out his hunter ID card from the self-queuing machine in front of him, Su Wei continued to follow the prompts and soon found his next training room.

It was on the second floor of the training ground, in a room near the corner of the corridor.

Although the entire corridor, including the floor and ceiling, was swept extremely clean and tidy, Su Wei felt inexplicably depressed just by walking inside.

"Brother!? Brother! What's wrong with you! Brother, don't scare me, brother!"

Half a minute later, just as Su Wei arrived at his assigned training room and pushed open the door to go in, he suddenly heard a man's anxious shouting coming from outside another training room not far away.

He subconsciously turned his head to look.

At the door of a training room with the number 2-153 on the doorplate, there was a young man kneeling on the ground, wailing to the sky.

Next to the young man, several staff members dressed as nurses were using a stretcher to carry out a man from the room. The man had a pale face, white smoke was coming out of his body, he was constantly twitching and shivering, and it seemed that he had completely lost his consciousness.

But, other than that, the people passing by...seemed a little strange.

They seemed to be accustomed to it. They just glanced at the man on the stretcher expressionlessly, then looked away and walked towards their training room without stopping.

"...Brother, this is my first time here. What's the situation of the person on the stretcher? Can you tell me?"

Seeing this, Su Wei felt a chill on his spine. He stopped a student passing by and asked him about it.

"Well, what else could it be? I worked too hard. The effects of the drugs in my body were all absorbed but I still kept exercising intensively. I had no self-awareness and ended up going insane."

At first, the bearded man who was stopped by Su Wei was not very happy, but when he saw the gold coins Su Wei handed to him, his face suddenly changed and his attitude became much friendlier.

"...I see. Is this a common situation here?"

Hearing this, Su Wei blinked and asked subconsciously.

"It's OK. Sometimes they don't show up for a month or two, and sometimes four or five of them show up in a few days."

As he spoke, the bearded man shook his head, his face full of indifference, and even his tone was mixed with a bit of gloating: "It's these people, they roll all day long, and raise the hunter assessment standards a lot. It would be nice to draw a few more."

Su Wei: “…”

A few minutes later, after adding another gold coin and asking the smiling bearded man some matters and details that need to be paid attention to during practice, Su Wei said goodbye to him and turned into his own training room.

"It seems that cultivation really needs to be done according to one's ability."

Recalling the bearded man's description in his mind, Su Wei took a deep breath, took the remote control of the training device on the counter next to him, selected a medium-intensity training, and pressed the start button.

"Please note that the pressurized training is about to begin."

"Please walk to the center of the room, close your eyes, and receive your training."

"If you experience symptoms such as dizziness, tinnitus, or confusion during training, please stop training immediately and seek medical attention."

Hearing a prompt sound beside his ears, Su Wei walked to the center of the room as instructed and slowly closed his eyes.

For a newcomer like him who is starting to practice for the first time, the training method in the training camp is very simple.

Just need to pressurize.

Magic power is driven by mental power. Apart from the innate qualifications, the higher the strength of a person's mental power, the higher the purity of the magic power he can ultimately drive.

As a radical school with a different teaching policy from most academies, the Hunter Training Camp often adopts a simpler and more brutal method to further increase the pressure on the trainees in order to temper their mental strength.

Although this method is accompanied by many risks, it is much more efficient than academic meditation.

After understanding the most basic training principles, Su Wei pondered for a moment and closed his eyes silently.

"Please note that the training has officially begun."

The next second, as the last prompt sounded in his ears, Su Wei's whole body stiffened. He felt an invisible pressure suddenly enveloped his whole body, constantly scraping and tearing, baring its fangs and claws, trying to drill into his brain.

In response, Su Wei said nothing, but quickly tensed up and began to deal with the pressure.

After just a few seconds, a wisp of light white smoke rose from his head, and his body began to heat up little by little.

"…Is this really just the first level of difficulty?"

Closing his eyes tightly, feeling the changes in his body, Su Wei silently clenched his teeth.

Although I had heard from the bearded man before that the magic essence training process here was the most painful, that was just false.

Now, after experiencing it personally, Su Wei finally had a rough idea of ​​what it meant.
