It took Dio three days to renovate the entire manor from the inside out with a group of maids. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info And among them, the one who contributed the most was naturally Katie, who had repeatedly died, if it weren't for her "initiative" to carry the most arduous work, with Jessica and others, I'm afraid it would not be possible to complete these tasks in double the time.

Of course, Katie, who had worked hard for three days, finally couldn't bear it, and she had already lost a lot of weight, and now when she met Dio again, she finally didn't dare to blow up.

But judging by the way she would secretly stare at Dio from time to time, it was obvious that she hadn't completely given in.

And Dio didn't pay attention to her, as long as Katie didn't hit her hand directly, Dio didn't have time to deal with her.

After giving the maids a good rest, on the morning of Dio's fifth day as butler, he gathered all the maids again and began to train them.

But......

"Why do I have to train?"

Standing in front of the maids, Aisha yelled at Dio rather dissatisfied, "I'm not a maid!" ”

"Who told you I was training maids?" Dio glanced at Aisha and said calmly, "This is just the most basic training!" ”

"Then I don't need to participate, do I? For magicians, meditation and practicing magic are the most important things! Aisha was still with her hands on her hips, pouting angrily.

"I'll just ask you once, do you want to be stronger?" Dio's face was still calm, but this sentence came to Aisha's ears very clearly.

"Hmm......" Looking at Dio, who had always been serious, Aisha finally calmed down, and she asked with some hesitation, "Will this so-called basic training really be useful to me?" I'm a magician! ”

"Of course." The corners of Dio's mouth curled slightly, "Although it doesn't have a direct effect on the cultivation of magic, this kind of training can improve your physical fitness, make you cast spells faster and more accurately, and make you better at dodging enemy attacks." Well, you've probably tried the battle mage as well, right? This basic training is also very important for battle mages. ”

Although she successfully defeated Edward in the final assessment, Aisha has not found a suitable way to fight until now, so when she heard Dio say this, she suddenly hesitated.

After thinking about it for a while, Aisha nodded heavily: "Well, since that's the case, then I'll also participate in the training." ”

"Good." Dio nodded heavily, and then glanced at the maids coldly, "Even the eldest lady who is a magician is ready to participate in the training, and none of you should plan to quit, right?" ”

was swept away by Dio like this, and all the maids, including Jessica, subconsciously straightened their backs. was tossed by Dio for three days, not only Katie, but even these maids were quite afraid of Dio.

So, listening to Dio's question, all the maids stood honestly in place, ready for Dio's so-called "most basic" training.

"Alright, let's start training now. The first training is simple, you start jogging around the whole estate. Remember, I didn't say 'stop', you just have to keep running. Glancing at the maids, whose faces had turned a little pale, Dio smiled and said, "Did you hear them all?" ”

"Hmmm......"

"Yes."

"Hear me clearly......"

The maids gave a flurry response, and Dio didn't say anything, just waved his hand and told everyone to run.

Aisha glanced at Dio and began to run in small steps. Seeing that Aisha had started to run, Jessica and the others also followed.

Dio followed unhurriedly at the back of the jogging procession, and he took out a small notebook from the inside of his tuxedo, and began to write and draw on it while observing everyone's movements.

(Well, Katie is still the best in physical fitness.) Although Jessica's strength is much stronger than her, she doesn't have any advantage in terms of physical fitness. ）

Glancing at Katie, who had quickly run to the front, Dio shook his head, and then looked at the last man.

That's Aisha.

(Sure enough, the one with the worst physical fitness is Aisha, who is a magician.) Although the movement and dodge in a small area are quite agile, once she runs, Aisha's physical fitness without the blessing of magic is really poor. ）

In fact, Dio didn't want Aisha to choose a class like Battlemage, because compared to other advanced routes such as Elemental Mage, Battlemages who charge forward like warriors have the highest casualty rate among the mages in Central.

However, if Aisha is really suitable for this advanced route, Dio, who hopes that Aisha can gain stronger strength to protect herself, can only let her go down that path.

That's why Dio specifically asked Aisha to come to the training as well. After all, regardless of whether Aisha would become a battle mage in the future, it would certainly not be wrong to boost her physical strength now.

After roughly noting down everyone's physical fitness in the small notebook, Dio flipped the small notebook to the end, looked at the words on it and thought.

In order to keep it a secret, Dio's writing in the small notebook is actually Chinese characters, so except for Dio and Aisha, there is no third person in the entire Spera continent who can read the characters on it.

(Since there were no guns, shooting training had to be replaced by a bow and crossbow.) In addition, they should learn combat skills such as fighting and assassination, as well as tactical skills such as sign language, swimming, judgment, reconnaissance, and search, as well as special training in survival skills such as battlefield first aid and wilderness survival...... ）

Because of his former relationship as a soldier, Dio is well aware of the training method of the real elite of the army, which is the so-called special forces. Although he doesn't expect all of these maids to become strong people, Dio still hopes that a few of these maids will become talented. After all, there are too few people available to the Testrosa family right now.

Although there are still many constructed golems and golems in this manor, Dio is still a little skeptical about how much power these structures can exert in battle, so he plans to train some more guards for Aisha. And the selection of the guards comes from these maids.

Of course, as with Jessica and Lawrence, Dio also wondered if there would be any spies sent by the Kloster family among the maids. However, after Dior's observation these days, he can be sure that these maids are really just ordinary girls who are not deeply involved in the world.

And judging from the attitudes of Aisha, Lady Evie and others, they obviously didn't take these maids seriously, and only Jessica, who was actually Aisha's head of guard, was taken seriously by Evie.

The nobles' subconscious disregard for these common servants was a blind spot that Dio felt could still take advantage of. It is for this reason that Dio intends to train these maids.

Think about it, when the enemies who tried to attack the Testrosa family managed to break through the construct's defenses and enter the house. Dio's expression when he passed by the shivering maids and was attacked by the little maids who had pulled out all kinds of weapons from under their skirts, Dio wanted to laugh.

Well, it's that malicious smile.
