Those who had finished speaking, immediately set out to head somewhere. They were then moved by the winged woman towards an empty and very spacious place.
"Heh, so nostalgic huh." said Kron.
"Haha!! I can't wait to compete with you again !" laughter from Hellian
Rias and the others were trembling from being too nervous.
"You don't get nervous! We can definitely get through this exercise !" said Raptor in a tone to convince his two friends
"But. You're shaking yourself, aren't you ?" yuno
"I-This is just a lack of drinking !" snapped Raptor
"(Wait.. ever since we arrived at this place.we have never eaten and drunk.?)" rias said in her heart
"Well, just base the bed and tell me when you're ready for the exercise ?" ask Hellian
"We're ready anytime !" the Raptor answered with confidence
"Huh..you really want to try this exercise ?" ask Kron
"of course! We'll prove that we're not people you can take for granted !" Raptor
"Oi Kron, don't you want to take part in this exercise ?" ask Hellian
"It will not be in vain with my body like this." replied Kron.
"Aahaha!! Is that so?! The training will start soon, so be prepared !" hellian
Kron and Hellian retreated a few steps away from the Raptor and the others. After a few steps, Hellian began to count down.
When the numbers reached one, Kron and Hellian instantly disappeared from the sight of the Raptor and the others. The Raptor and the others instantly faced the atmosphere of a place that was much different from before.
The place turned into an unusually hot until they did not realize their feet had burned melted a quarter.
"Damel! What's going on ?!" ask the panic raptor
"I don't know !" rias
"Agh!! My feet hurt a lot !!" said Yuno who was holding her leg by crying out in pain.
"Damn!! It hurts so much !!" raptor shouted
"Whoun. Please save us !" shouted the Raptor and the others in a compact manner
And arriving, where they stood immediately moved to a large white empty place, where they last saw Kron and Hellian.
"Bagaima-Oh oh. Iris!" hellian
Iris then came and took out her wand. Iris is a winged woman who picks up Kron and the others when they are stranded.
"White Spell: Heaven's Light !" said Iris
Suddenly a bright green light emerged from his staff. The light then penetrated into Rias' feet and the others were melted.
The legs of Rias and the others slowly started to return to how they were. Rias and the others who were initially screaming and crying in pain started not to scream and cry.
They realized that slowly their feet began to heal and return to how they were. And the pain they had experienced earlier instantly disappeared just like that.
"You're conscious ?" hellian
Rias and the others were immediately shocked, they only realized that they were in the last place they saw Kron and Hellian. They saw their feet that slowly the land began to return to its original state. Rias felt nauseous from seeing the process.
"So, how's the comment ?" ask Hellian
"Aah?" said Rias and the others like a confused person
"Well, let them rest Hellian first, let's go back first" said Kron, who walked straight to the exit.
"Oi'm Kron! Wait a minute !" call Hellian who's after Kron
Kron and Hellian then left the room leaving Rias, Raptor, and Yuno sitting listlessly unable to say what and Iris who was treating them.
"Are you.. Goddess Iris ?" ask Rias
"Yes, what's up ?" Iris replied in a very soft voice
"Goddess Iris, may I ask you something ?" ask the Raptor whose legs have healed completely
"Please." answered Iris
"Is... does that person experience the same thing as us ?" ask Raptor
"Yes, of course." replied Iris
"Then.How did that person survive in that place ?" ask Raptor
"Kron? He didn't survive." replied Iris
"Then, what's the difference with us ?!" ask Raptor
"He's dead and you're not." answered Iris
The words of Iris certainly made the Raptor and the others shocked. Those who have been used to being surprised by various things since knowing Kron never get tired of hearing the surprise.
"What..what do you mean he died ?" ask Yuno
"Kron died in that place, he melted completely" Rias replied
"No way! There was no way anyone could stand that much pain !" the Raptor did not believe
"However Kron can hold it" answered Iris
The Raptor fell silent and could not deny Iris' answer.
"Because he was revived." answered Iris
"Then..he went back to that place again..?" ask Rias
"Yes." answered Iris
"Ra-Hundreds of times..?" ask Yuno
"Yes." said Iris
Yuno and the others instantly thought of one similar thought. That is, it means Kron continues to repeat the death wheel until he can hold and stand in the place. Iris had not yet finished speaking, the Raptor immediately cut off Iris's speech.
"Why?! Why would he be willing to endure such pain even up to hundreds of times ?!" ask the surprised Raptor
"Because he wants to be strong" replied Iris
"Why, why does he want to be strong ?!" ask Raptor
"Because he doesn't want to lose the person he loves." replied Iris looking up at the Raptor
The Raptor sat still unable to say what. He realized that his big mouth was nothing compared to Kron.
Rias and Yuno also realized that what they had been doing was nothing compared to what Kron had been doing all along.
"Then..how long does he undergo this kind of training..?" ask Yuno
Iris did not answer.
"So it's really old huh." said Yuno.
"Alright, since the wound has healed, please return to your dugout" Iris said
Yuno and the others did not respond to anything. They only imagine how far apart they are from Kron, whether it is about his concern for the people, strength, or toughness.
Iris then sat down while waiting for them to get out of place and return to their break room. And after 1 hour, they only realized Iris was waiting for them to leave the place. They then thanked Iris and started walking and opened the exit.
"Ah, there's one thing I have to justify" Iris said
The Raptor and the others turned towards Iris with the door already open and footsteps that were already heading outside the room.
"Kron didn't die hundreds of times.he's already dead with numbers you never imagined." Iris said with a smile.
Iris' words instantly made Rias and the others fall silent once again outside the room. They fell silent after hearing Iris' words.
"What..what exactly has the King of Orion gone through..?" yuno
"I don't know, but for sure." said Rias.
"He suffered more than we thought" Raptor said
The three of them then walked with thoughts that went nowhere. They walked with empty eyes. The raptor is the one who feels the most guilt after the exercise. He kept thinking about what he had done to Kron the previous time.
They then lie in their dugout and unconsciously fall asleep. They then woke up in a place that melted them, they were screaming in pain but no one answered their screams. They were melted away by the crowd, including their former master, Syno.
They ask for help from anyone, but no one wants to help them. Until half their head and half their hand, someone grabbed their hand.
"A !" rias and the others said by opening their eyes like someone who had just been exposed to a nightmare
The three of them were drying very hard. And when their sight was clearer, they saw a figure extending his hand in their dream.
"Oi! You guys are okay?! What's going on ?!" asked Kron who was shaking the three of them
"Your Majesty !" said the three of them who immediately knelt down
Kron was surprised by the attitude of the three of them.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for being so disrespectful" said the Raptor.
"Here you go, sorry for letting you feel the exercise. Hellian, I've been talking about giving you those exercises" Kron said
"Your Majesty." said the Raptor and the others
"What..what shall I redeem to make amends, Your Majesty ?" ask Raptor
"... Be sincere with Orion. Prioritize the interests of the people and common interests above your own. And keep smiling despite being pelted with dirt" Kron said with a smile
"Good.. Your Majesty." replied the Raptor who shed his tears
Hellian then broke down the door with his mouth full of food.
"Oh, so they're up ?" hellian said that was carrying a certain amount of food
"You really ruined the moment." said Kron who stood facing Hellian.
Kron then walked towards Hellian and along with Hellian left the room with a conversation like two friends who asked play the other refused because he was busy.
"How stupid am I" said the Raptor
Rias and Yuno did not answer what other than a slight smile of relief.
