More than a month had passed since the Hero Faction's attack.
Throughout that month, Noah had been training the Gremory Peerage.
There was no particular reason for it. Rias had simply brought her entire peerage before Noah and solemnly asked him to train them.
Her reasons for doing so were equally simple.
When the Hero Faction attacked, the Gremory Peerage had not only been completely unable to help, but had also been captured immediately and used as hostages to threaten Noah, ultimately resulting in Ophis losing half of her power to Khaos Brigade.
After learning of this, Rias had been consumed by regret and deeply understood the importance of strength.
Thus, Rias personally brought her peerage to Noah and asked him to put them through special training.
To be honest, Noah could understand Rias's feelings.
He had experienced that kind of regret caused by insufficient strength before.
As it happened, Noah had a few powers he wanted to test out, so he agreed to Rias's request without hesitation.
As a result, Noah had spent the past month training the Gremory Peerage.
Sometimes, he acted as Rias and Akeno's opponent, engaging in practical combat with the two leading figures of the Gremory Peerage.
Sometimes, he served as an instructor, correcting the swordsmanship of Yuuto, Xenovia, and Irina, the three swordsmen.
Sometimes, he drew upon his extensive experience traveling Between Worlds to teach his knowledge to Koneko, who excelled in close combat, and Asia, who specialized in healing.
