Within the month that passed Zeke made sure that the elites were properly trained. Day in and day out, Morpheus fought against them, heightening the child's instinctive battle senses even more while also giving the elites a clue on what they needed to do in order to get stronger. Since Morpheus could turn into almost any creature, he was the perfect fit to train against the elites and expose all their weaknesses.
Of course this training went as Heron did with them before. With Morpheus being cloned to the number of elites as they fought within the realm created through [Cloud of Dreams]. Adding to this were the crystals specifically made to prolong the effects of the realm. Allowing the elites to maximize their time of training.
Indeed, even though it was only a month in the real world, the elites have already trained for one whole year. Fighting day in and day out and being motivated by no other goal than to get strong enough to not be a bother to Zeke.
