Monsters from anime, movies, and stories from my world, I even add human enemies. Since my kids are all beasts, it only makes sense for them to know how to fight humans. However, the programming for human enemies is a lot more complicated.
In order for there to be higher difficulties, the enemies need to be able to use advanced tactics. Then again, I need the same kind of programming for other enemies as well. Things like orcs are intelligent enough to use basic tactics and there are other enemies like that too.
I want to make sure that the kids don't get into the habit of thinking that all their enemies will be stupid. In fact, if I can I want to make sure that the kids never make the mistake of underestimating an enemy. I would love it if I can keep them from making the same mistakes that I have made.
Well, rather than preventing them from making mistakes, I want them to make them in a safe environment. That way they can learn from the mistakes without any serious consequences. If this room can keep them from making even one mistake outside, it will be worth the effort.
Then again, I also plan to let the golems use the room when the kids aren't. That way the combat golems can get more combat experience without the castle being attacked. Once we get back, I will also let Myria and the others who want to, use it.
Considering it will probably get a lot of use, I don't mind taking the time to add tons of options. I even add scenarios with objectives and ways to have mixed enemies to fight. Eventually, Lin comes to tell me that she is going to bed, so I take a break to accompany her.
Of course, she makes a comment about not wanting to distract me, but I was expecting it. It doesn't stop me from following her to the bedroom for some fun. As expected, she totally makes me pay for my comment, but I don't mind.
After she falls asleep, I return to the training room and continue working on the illusions. As I am working, I keep having random memories of monsters pop into my head. Every time this happens, I add them to the list, I plan to keep going until I run out of space.
Since I have already figured out the programming, adding more monsters is much easier. Most of the time I can just copy the programming from illusions I have already completed. Thanks to that, by morning I have already added over a thousand different enemies.
At this point, the training room is already able to be used, even though I haven't run out of room. The problem is I have run out of monsters to add, I can't think of any more. On the other hand, I can always come back and add more later if I think of new ones.
Since the kids aren't awake yet, I summon Jarvis over and have him control the room. With him controlling the illusions, I test out the training room and let him get some experience. This way, he can help train the kids later after they wake up and have breakfast.

Knowing the kids, they will want to spend the rest of the day using the room. Jarvis lets me know when the kids wake up, so I go and join them for breakfast. After breakfast, as expected, they want to start training right away.
First, I have them go find Chloell and invite her to join them for training. Since she is part of their group, it will help for her to train with them. They might not need healing while in the training room, but they still need to work on teamwork.
When the kids return Chloell is with them and they have already told her the plan. They head into the training room and with Jarvis controlling it, they begin training. I observe and make some small changes when I notice things that could work better.
After a while, Lin comes down for breakfast and I talk with her while she eats. We talk about the training room and then get into a discussion of illusion magic. While she hasn't used it much, she does have quite a bit of knowledge about illusion magic.
Just from talking with her for a while I find a number of improvements I can make. So, when she heads to the library, I kick the kids out of the training room and make them take a break. While they are resting, I make the improvements to the illusion enchantments.
When I am done, I go and have lunch with the kids then let them return to training. While they are at it, I teach Jarvis how everything works so he can make more improvements. With his programming, I have no doubt that he will eventually be able to find more things to improve.
I will still come back and add more monsters if I think of any, but other than that Jarvis can handle it. He needs more things to do around the castle anyway, I don't want him getting bored. With that settled, I go back to the main room and work on my core until dinner.

Dinner ends up being later than usual because the kids spend so much time training. When they finally come out, they are pretty haggard looking and they are exhausted. Lin doesn't come down until Jarvis informs her that we are having dinner.
During dinner, the kids can't stop talking about the fights they had in the training room. They have obviously had a lot of fun, but they also learned quite a bit. Although, they do complain that they can't beat a swarm even on the easiest setting.
They still lack area of effect attacks that would allow them to deal with a swarm. After listening to them complain, Lin volunteers to work with them and teach them magic. The kids instantly agree, even though it means something similar to school work.
Lin is a really good teacher and she will absolutely make them work hard. However, I keep my mouth shut, it will do the kids good to learn magic from Lin. However, considering how tired the kids are right now, Lin decides to start in the morning.
The kids don't argue and after eating they go to watch cartoons for a little bit. Not even five minutes later, the kids are all sound asleep and I carefully put them to bed. Lin isn't tired yet, so she heads back to the library to read for a while.
I follow her and curl up with her in her big comfy chair to read some manga. We read until Lin is ready for bed, then we head into the bedroom for some fun. Once Lin is exhausted, we go to sleep, but I only sleep for a few hours, then work on my core.
