Nylon entered the portal in Logran after defending the beastmen village with his parents.
As repairs were needed, it took some time for him to finish and get in touch with the rest of the group.
The moment he entered Horizon, he met with the group of Remnants and Titania, who explained what had happened.
Orion's disappearance, the corrupt invasion, and the incoming training of the Agathion members.
Without wasting his breath, he asked to join the training. Titania, who had nothing against it, accepted.
After relaying the information to Henrietta, Nylon officially joined the others.
The Remnants stood in front of them as Henrietta explained how this whole process would be carried out.
"I'm now going to dispatch each one of you with a teacher. They will observe you and advise you as time passes, making you a fighter closer to the realm of what a Valkyrie could do."
She crossed her arms and looked at the starry sky.
"..."
"Henrietta?"
Titania noticed her gaze drifting off and caught her attention by calling her name.
"It's nothing."
She shook her head before looking at the people in front of her once again.
"I won't participate. The only one I can efficiently train is Amelia. But don't worry, no one will be left out."
"Chelsea, Kelsea, step forward, please."
The twins did as they were asked and walked in front of the other Remnants.
"Aren't you...?"
Karteira suddenly recognized them.
"Hello./Hello."
They bent forward similarly to her memories, which confirmed it for her.
"The receptionists in Hocride... You were Remnants?"
"Indeed./Indeed."
Giving her a professional smile, they looked at Karteira.
"Forgive us for not speaking of our identity before."
"We had no idea Orion was the Hero at that time."
But Karteira shook her head after recovering her composure.
"No, it's fine. Even if you had known, keeping a low profile isn't something I can criticize. The service was great, and that's all that matters."
Both sisters bent even lower.
"Thank you for your kind words."
"We are pleased to know the service we offered pleased you."
While straightening, a genuine expression of happiness was on their faces.
Henrietta took this chance to continue.
"Dramia and Drania. I want you two to go with them."
"I understand."
With a nod, Dramia, who had returned in line with her sister previously, agreed to follow Henrietta's instructions.
"We're training with another set of twins!"
Drania smiled while approaching the two sisters.
"It is a pleasure to work with you."
"We are not fighters; please understand."
With that said, the four walked away inside the building, disappearing from Horizon after entering one of the portals.
"Are we not training here?"
Olivia asked with a confused face. The others also looked perplexed at the idea of leaving Horizon.
"You might be used to seeing... explosive... training from Orion, but that's normally not what happens."
"Pertaining knowledge to others isn't supposed to destroy half of the continent."
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
That sarcastic remark made them smile, as they were reminded of Orion's absurd training sessions.
"Olivia and Florian, you will join Keleanos."
Right after, she brought another group together.
"That would be me."
Keleanos walked to the right of Henrietta, a faint smile on his face and a thick book in his hands.
"It is my pleasure to work with you."
Florian walked in front of Keleanos before extending his hand.
"Lord of Albriar. You have my gratitude for creating a peaceful environment. Thanks to you, I was able to work around the corruption and provide relief to those in need."
"There is no reason for you to thank me. I was doing what everyone should have done long ago."
Nodding, Keleanos grabbed his hand and shook it.
"Please, if you need something from me in the future, don't hesitate to discuss it. There is so much more to do to alleviate the hardships our past generations forced on others."
"I will keep that in mind."
They let go of the other's hand as Olivia approached them. She leaned forward and graciously introduced herself.
"My name is Olivia, Lord of Noctelagia. It is a pleasure to meet you."
"The pleasure is all mine. I am Keleanos."
Keleanos wanted to ask for more details about the situation in her city, but now wasn't the time.
Cutting it short, he pointed at the building behind them.
"There are many things I would love to discuss with you, but we are currently bothering the others. Please, follow me."
The two trainees nodded.
"Where are we going?"
"Well-"
While Olivia and Florian followed him and asked questions, they entered the portal hub building and vanished somewhere on Triazils.
Henrietta smiled faintly at this sight. She was rather relieved that they easily accepted the people she had brought, even if they were strangers.
"I... have a question."
Layla stepped forward with a worried expression.
"Yes?"
"Is it really fine for me to teach someone? I know that this looks like I'm getting cold feet, but when I think about it, I was recently fighting these people."
She looked toward the ones in front of her, who stared with a neutral expression.
"..."
Henrietta looked at one of them before asking a question.
"Senia."
"Yes!"
The siren jumped slightly at her sudden call.
"Is it something you mind?"
"..."
Senia looked at Henrietta while lifting an eyebrow. Then, she looked at Layla.
"Orion saved you, right?"
"He did, but-"
"Then it's fine."
Layla felt some guilt as her gaze drifted downward. But, she rapidly made up her mind.
"If you are fine with it, then I will train you. I was told that your water magic is in its infancy, but you are capable of moving a tremendous amount of water."
With a nod, Senia approached the former Lord of Paraviel.
"Elliott... I'll be going."
Before parting ways with him, she wanted to speak with him, even briefly.
"Work hard. I'm sure you will learn alongside her."
His genuine smile helped Layla to focus.
"..."
The frown on her face turned into a smile.
"Senia, right? Do you mind following me?"
"Of course not."
As Senia was the weakest member of the Agathion faction, she was ready to work incredibly hard to catch up to the others.
With a determined face, she floated next to Layla as they, too, went somewhere on the continent.
The ones left were Karteira, May, Eric, Kamala, Nylon, and Deveralna.
"Then-"
Henrietta was about to continue, but someone else was faster and walked forward.
"I said I only wanted to train Orion, but my curiosity became stronger than those words."
He pulled Vanitas from its scabbard and pointed at someone.
"The lamia..."
And at another person.
"And Nylon. You're coming with me. You two are very fascinating."
"I really want to see you at your peak."
He walked past Deveralna, who had her mouth wide open.
"Since you two possess a tremendous amount of magic energy, we will stay in Horizon. This place can withstand your power to some extent."
Turning his body slightly, he placed Vanitas back in its scabbard.
"Sure, if that's what you want."
Nylon shrugged and joined Elliott. On the other hand, Deveralna looked at Karteira with a frustrated frown.
"..."
Karteira slowly nodded, which Deveralna pondered on for a second.
"Fine. I'll follow you."
She wasn't particularly fond of Elliott, but if it meant getting stronger, she would swallow her pride and train under his guidance.
"There's no time to lose."
The three walked toward the training field of the realm without saying another word.
"That honestly helps. Those two are completely out of anyone's expertise, as they have special powers."
Henrietta sighed in relief while turning her gaze toward Heto.
"Heto, I will let you choose who you want to train."
"I can?"
"Because I have a feeling I know who you're going to pick."
Scratching the back of his bald head, Heto smiled dryly.
"Well then."
Pointing his finger at two people, he continued.
"I would love to help these two. With just one glance, they certainly look like hardworking people."
The two people he pointed at were May and Eric.
"Us..."
May and Eric shared a faint smile before joining the giant.
"We are in your care."
Picking up his giant hammer, Heto turned around.
"If you have a place to train, please tell me. I was out of the continent for quite some time, so I'm not very knowledgeable about places to train."
Eric nodded.
"In that case, let us return to Turric. There is a large plain a bit to the north, perfect for sparring."
"Perfect. Please, lead the way."
Heto followed Eric and May, who led him to Turric.
"..."
Henrietta watched them walk away before her gaze fell on Titania, who had stood next to her all this time.
"I do not know if that is impressive how well you understand us or if you used your 'Book of Fate' to affect us, but those two are the ones I wanted to help."
Shaking her head, Henrietta rejected her suggestion.
"I have done no such things."
"Mother..."
Karteira smiled warmly.
She and Kamala were the two left, which meant Titania would take them under her wing.
"I will teach everything I know to Karteira, while I will push Kamala, the woman who protected my children with her life, to new heights."
"How does that sound?"
Kamala felt warm inside. She had no idea Titania thought of her so positively.
"I haven't done much... Still, I can't say everyone would have done the same, seeing as our world is a mess."
A sarcastic smile appeared on Kamala's face.
"At first, I did question your motive for breaking the barrier of distrust between humans and fairies, but after that display during the realm's collapse, I can positively say that you obtained my trust."
Titania walked in front of Kamala and looked inside her eyes.
"That's why I will give you the strength to protect everything you wish to."
Turning her gaze to Karteira, she nodded.
"I will turn the both of you into warrior maidens."
Henrietta silently walked away, leaving them to their matter. Someone had to stay in the house to look after the unconscious Amelia and feed Sirius.
The fate of Triazils, now in the hands of the Agathion faction, changed as time passed.
With each member under a Remnant's teaching, a new age was about to begin.
