Ryouji : I think i may know how to break through the last 6% i need...
Erza : How???
Ryouji : With the same way i helped you guys to train back in the old days...
Ryouji : If i were to actually implement the same way perhaps i will make it in time...
Erza : Wait, you were using us back then as training for you??
Ryouji : I would prefer if you say training for both of us...
Ryouji : After all, all of us became stronger back then...
Joe : Is it about a training mom Violetta talked about revolving with your pressure??
Ryouji : Yes, however in order to completely spread my aura and gain a few benefits i have no idea how many people will be needed for this...
Ryouji : Of course the faster way would have been to see if we found more people having partial Dragon traits...
Joe : I can have the others look at other settlements but the one closest here is 100km away...
Erza : Going there and back while avoiding any possible Dragons will take max 15 days...
Ryouji : Good... Do that and at the same time, i'll train all the others here...
Ryouji : This will also let me see how many people i will need...
Joe and Erza nodded as they went to gather the people necessary for the job when the people heard that Ryouji needs more power from people that have become Dragons Slayers having witness his powers earlier many agreed to go in this dangerous trip...
A few hours later 20 peoples were standing at the front of their tent getting ready to depart...
For safety measures, 5 of them were knowns to the other settlements as Dragon Slayers so their story will be more truthful in their eyes...
After watching them leave Ryouji turned around and saw the rest 300 people waiting for their training as they were the only ones who could fight...
Ryouji talked with Joe and Erza and decided to also go along with this training to maximize their chances of victory...
Ryouji released his aura and with the exception of 10 people, all others almost kneeled with one leg on the ground as they struggled to stand up...
He kept going and going and noticed that his exp being stuck at 46.600/69.400 started moving up slowly by 1 exp every 20 seconds...
He stopped his aura and started calculating how much he would need... in order to reach 700 he need 440,400 Exp, and with 1 per 20 seconds, he needs 8808000 seconds... meaning 146800 minutes and in hours 2447... 102 days...
Erza and Joe saw him frowning and thought that their luck isn't that good...
Ryouji at that moment decided to do something bolder and raised his pressure even higher than before although it was risky as Dragons may come to his door... He went through with it and all of them sunk both knees on the ground as it was more than double the pressure...
Now only Erza and Joe were standing like it was nothing... 8 people were having almost one knee on the ground while all others both...
Ryouji then saw that his Exp was raised faster at 1 per 6 seconds and stopped yet again to leave the take a breather...
2642400 seconds, 44040 minutes, 734 hours and finally 30 days... He had cut down the time to one third but will these guys be able to take is for that long???
Ryouji then looked at Erza and Joe as he proceeds telling about the minuscule power up he had and how long it will take him...
It didn't take long for them to decide to train with the same intensity for two days and then a day off...
Doing this it would take them 45 days and still have 15 for anything unexpected...
