Inside the Box (Part 2)

After Ke Ersha left, the two continued walking forward.

After encountering a variety of more Magical Creatures, the two finally arrived at the door of the Training Room.

As Hermione opened the door, the spacious Training Room came into view.

Contrary to her expectations, in Hermione's mind, Training Room should be like Muggle gym, filled with all sorts of training equipment. Why was Bell's Training Room completely empty?

Following Bell into the Training Room, Hermione looked around curiously, waiting for Bell to explain things to her.

"This Training Room is for basic training, which includes two types: Bludger Training and Golden Snitch Training."

As he spoke, Bell pointed with his Wand to several boxes in the corner.

The box was opened, and countless Bludger and Golden Snitch flew out.

After a year of rapid growth, Bell is now a completely different person. From 50 before entering school, her score has increased rapidly to 200 now.

Moreover, while Bludger Training, he was also simultaneously Golden Snitch Training.

Fifty Golden Snitch roamed the sky, and Bell would always manage to knock them down with Wandless Magic Obstruction Jinx during the gaps between parries and dodges.

Hermione was speechless with astonishment as she watched the Bludger and Golden Snitch filling the sky.

This was the first time she'd ever seen Quidditch played like this!

Hearing the continuous 'thump-thump' sounds coming from where Bell was standing, and watching the two types of balls leaving afterimages, Hermione felt a shiver run down her spine just by standing in the rest area.

She simply couldn't imagine the pressure Bell was under, standing at the eye of the storm. How was he able to withstand all of this?

After giving Hermione a brief demonstration, Bell put all the balls away. After all, he wasn't there for training; he just wanted Hermione to have a more intuitive understanding of the training content.

"Bell, you said you do this kind of training every morning!?"

Hermione stared at Bell in disbelief. Even with the facts right in front of her, she still found it hard to believe.

"This is only half; the other half is in the Training Room next door. Come with me."

The two arrived outside another Training Room.

As the door opened, Hermione discovered that this Training Room was completely different from the previous one.

The Training Room was enormous. Hermione almost thought she had stumbled upon a famous tourist attraction.

Not only does this place boast natural scenery such as lakes, mountains, forests, Gobi Desert, snowfields, and more, Hermione even spotted a huge city in the distance! She simply couldn't reconcile this place with the so-called Training Room.

"Bell, are you sure this place isn't for tourism?"

Hermione looked at Bell with suspicion.

"Of course. Also, don't go in."

Bell stopped Hermione, who was trying to walk forward.

"Once you cross the boundary of the lounge, you'll be randomly teleported to any location inside. In that case, I can't guarantee I'll be able to get you out safely."

"This place simulates all sorts of environments, allowing me to adapt to combat in various situations. It's also filled with Philosopher's Stone and traps. And these were all set up by House-elf; even I don't know exactly how many statues and traps there are."

Modern combat training is no longer the kind of ring battles of the past.

In order to make the so-called "real combat" a true success, Bell spent a lot of effort and Galleon to finally create this place.

The cleanup work after each training session alone takes half a day for the three House-elf, including Ke Ersha. Not to mention setting up traps and upgrading statues. The Bell Family even has a dedicated team of House-elf responsible for these tasks every day.

"It's too much trouble, so I won't show it to you today. Let's talk about it another time."

After leaving the Training Room, Hermione still felt a little dazed. But she quickly regained her composure.

Bell had told her many times that she was an excellent Little Witch. In fact, she was indeed the top student in her grade.

Therefore, Hermione believed that even if she couldn't become as powerful as Bell, she could at least narrow the gap between them.

Hermione has always longed to catch up with Bell. And now that their relationship has changed, that longing is growing stronger.

She doesn't want to be abandoned by Bell in the future because she's too weak.

"Bell, can I also do these training sessions?"

Hermione's fighting spirit burned fiercely.

"No."

"Oh..."

Hermione's fighting spirit quickly died out.

"Uh, no, that's not what I meant."

Seeing Hermione turn gray, Bell quickly offered an explanation.

"What I mean is, these training programs are not suitable for you right now. You need to do some basic training first."

"But didn't you say this was basic training?"

Hermione's fighting spirit seemed to be rekindling.

"These are the basics for me, not for you."

Just kidding. Even my own Shanna, who started training in magic control at the age of 3 and gradually began training at the age Shanna 6, is still undergoing the 1.0 version of basic training.

Hermione, who has no prior training, is actually planning to start with version 2.0 training right away?

Even though Hermione is older than Shanna, Bell is sure she wouldn't last 10 seconds.

"What do I need to do?"

Hermione asked eagerly.

"This."

"A rag doll?"

Hermione took the box Bell handed her, opened it, and found that it contained a rag doll. She had thought it would be some kind of powerful magical item.

Although the doll was incredibly delicate and adorable, Hermione was immediately captivated by it at first sight, what did that have to do with training?

"That's right, it's a rag doll. By the way, it really is just an ordinary rag doll, without any added mechanisms or magic."

Seeing Hermione fiddling with the doll, even taking off its clothes to examine it, Bell quickly dispelled Hermione's unfounded speculations to prevent his girlfriend from taking the doll apart at any moment.

As for why Bell carries a rag doll with him at all times?

Of course, it couldn't have been given to him by Shanna.

If it was a gift from Shanna, how could Bell possibly bear to give it away? Even if that person was his girlfriend, it wouldn't be a question.

So, this was actually a birthday gift that Bell had bought for Shanna. However, he later thought of a better gift, so he kept the doll.
