"We'll only have two days at most to prepare." I said, as I found myself in front of over three hundred armored men, the entire Knight Brigade and the Soldiers of the Duchy combined together.
Some were heavily wounded before we came, but thanks to Elizabeth healing magic and Hendrick's potions, they were all healed to top condition.
The apples of the lesser Yggdrasil are also delicious, and heal exhaustion and lack of stamina, muscle strain, and help stabilize a tired and wounded body really fast.
Eustace was in front of his army, while Monica was at my side. Before doing anything else, I wanted to make them as strong as possible in these two days we'll prepare.
"How can we get so strong in just two days though?" Wondered one of the soldiers.
"How?" I asked. "Well, through methods none of you have ever thought before. Things that you never learn anywhere, and through things only us have figured out. First of all, I'll help you awaken your true physical strength, once this is done, you'll find yourselves twice, thrice, or even sometimes four or five times as stronger than before. Now, make a long line, it'll be done quickly.
Woo, help me out as well."
"Fine, these lads aren't half bad, I'll awaken their Ki Points in a flash! Kehehhee!" The old goblin laughed.
"It hurts! My entire body hurts!"
The soldiers all started screaming one after another as we awakened their pressure points and their Ki Core in their chest, all of them, one after another, awakened their Ki and physiques.
Because most soldiers were rather strong already, their Physiques weren't half-bad, and they had plenty of Ki to go with it.
Monica and Eustace were worried and constantly asked me what in the world was I doing, but after seeing the soldiers get up normally after a few seconds and feeling even stronger than before, things changed.
Eventually, I awakened the Ki of everyone that wanted as well, the maidservants and manservants, the head butler and head maid, Eustace, and Monica's entire party as well.
Once everything was done, everyone was overflowing with their own Ki Auras, as I smiled rather confidently while nodding.
"This is Ki, everyone, see? It is quite amazing, right? This is an energy different than Mana, it is part of our body. Some call this Stamina, others Vitality, I call it Ki, the energy of our bodies. Use it, spend it, exercise, fight, the more you do this, the stronger your Ki and body will become. Now!
With the healers and potions we've prepared, all of you will constantly fight against one another, and also my Familiars." I said, as I summoned one hundred beasts.
"This energy is amazing but… isn't this a bit too tyrannical!?"
"Wait, there's no way we'll survive this…"
"I-In just two days, can we become strong enough to at least kill demons comparable to D Rank monsters ?"
"For sure!" I roared. "Now, Eustace, Monica, make sure they don't break their routine."
"Very well." Eustace nodded. "I'll make sure to train myself too!"
"I'll do what you taught me before when you trained me personally, Blake!" Monica agreed.
"Good, we don't have much time, start immediately! Every second is precious! Ah right, you're not sleeping either! Train, train, and train!" I roared tyrannically; the soldiers trembled before my voice.
"This kid's for real…"
"B-But he's the one that helped lady Monica become so strong."
"Yeah, didn't you see how she was able to win against as many of us just through her physical attacks?"
"We can't just let a young lady be stronger than us…"
"Also, he saved our duchy! T-The least we can do is trust him, r-right?"
Everyone glanced at me, as I didn't realized I was smirking rather maliciously.
"Yes, all of you… Heheheh… You will become so strong you won't even recognize yourselves, you bastards." I laughed evilly, my eyes glowed bright red without my intention.
"Just who is the real demon here? Is it him or the demons we've been fighting?"
"Agh… Let's try! I don't want to make eye contact with him!"
As they ran away, I quickly summoned my Grimoire and decided to Rank Up now.

"This time as well, there's a lot of new options… Some of them do look enticing, especially whatever Blood King is." I wondered. "But I should walk down the path most efficient."

"Excellent." I smiled. "And these new Skills…"
The one that interested me the most out of the two new Talent-tied Skills was, of course, the new Familiar-related Skill.
[Familiar Talent Bestowal: Lv1]
Skill Proficiency: 0/20000
As a Grandmaster Summoner, your power over your own Familiars has grown even higher than before. Through the usage of Mana, you can "bestow" a variety of Talents into your Summoned Familiars. Each Familiar type is limited to one Talent, and different copies of the same familiar cannot get different Talents.
Once a Talent is given, it cannot change, but it will evolve alongiside the Familiar's Stats and Ranks as they grow stronger themselves. Talents can give a Familiar new Skills, Stat Boosts, Elements, and even new Evolutions.
As the Skill Level Increases, the stronger the bonuses given by Talents become.
This… It pretty much means I can give Classes to my Familiars.
