Heading through the door, and then scanning the area, Flynn and Issachar were then told by Burroughs, "Be careful, Master. I'm detecting a demon nearby. Master Hope mentioned an important detail of this training exercise. I'll register this as a quest to 'Defeat a Demon.' In any case, good luck."

The two immediately entered two separate battles, both of which had a Lham Dearg and a Slime.

"A human. . . A human is here! You never learn. You were a fool to venture into our nest of evil. I hope you are prepared to die at the hands of a demon!" the Lham Deargs yelled at their opponents before hitting Flynn and Issachar with a normal attack and then the Slimes did the same. The prentices first hit the Slimes and killed them with a single sword blow and then used their guns to kill the Lham Deargs. Flynn and Issachar immediately leveled up and Burroughs said, "Sorry to butt in, but I have some good news for you, Masters Flynn and Issachar." The two prentices decided to go through the tutorial on leveling and while Flynn allocated his five new stat points into Magic, Issachar pumped his Agility.

"That was so impressive that I would swear it wasn't your first battle. You're hot stuff, Masters Flynn and Issachar. I also have good news for you. You've earned some App Points." Burroughs continued.

Hope came back and said, "This is Hope speaking. Flynn, Issachar, you finished your tasks, I see. Well done, surviving that."

Burroughs congratulated the two prentices on completing 'Defeat a Demon' and both got 150 Macca for doing so. Hope continued, "But it's too early to celebrate now. I have the details of your next quest. You must learn the basics of communing with demons. A Samurai must know more than combat. At times, he must treaty with demons to recruit them to his side and strengthen his forces. You must acquire demon allies. The types of demons don't matter. That's all for now. Get back to your training." before cutting the transmission.

"I'll register that as a new quest on the list." Burroughs said before registering the second training exercise as a quest.

"I guess this is where we part ways for now, Flynn. I think we're competing against each other in the next exercise." Issachar said before he left Flynn alone in Naraku.

Continuing on his own, Flynn got lucky when he recruited a Napaea and ended up with a Lham Dearg as well. He recruited a Centaur beforehand, which meant that the final training exercise was coming up.

Hope came back again and said, "This is Hope speaking. So, you've completed the next quest. A decent effort so far. But it's too early to celebrate now. I have the details of your next quest. This will be your final training exercise. You must learn the basics of exploring labyrinths. A solid grasp of your surroundings is necessary for a Samurai. I have hidden a certain item of value somewhere in Naraku. Your task is to find and retrieve it. Moreover, for this exercise, you will all be competing against each other. As soon as one of you acquires the item of value, the exercise will end. That is all." before the transmission cut again.

Flynn made his way down to the Second Stratum of Naraku and after facing down a Disaster Horde obtained the item of value. "Look, master. You've found something interesting."

"All prentices, this is Hope speaking. Your training session has come to an end." Hope said as he made a live transmission.

Jonathan commented that someone beat him to the finish line and then Walter mentioned that he had gotten close as well. "Return to Aquila Plaza at once." Hope said before cutting the transmission.
