It was no surprise. Billy already could destroy the floor of his house while carrying weights, so it was only natural that he couldn't train everywhere. Training in an open field to let others see him wasn't a good idea either. So, he decided to create a training area really below his house. Otherwise, he will cause tremors and damage it. After brainstorming for a while, Billy had a clear idea of what he was going to do. He needed more...
"I suppose this time I will have to add other things… like magic bubbles and a ventilation system, or things might get too hot down there," Billy thought.
While Billy could train with relative privacy in any dungeon, he couldn't practice anything new or big without risking an accident. The underground training area will be made to do exactly that. Without wasting any time, Billy began to work on that.
Billy hurried since he wanted to see his glaive full power, so it took him one week for him to do that. Although he was a bit tired when he finished, he immediately picked the glaive and then began to swing it around. Every time he did it, the blast of wind caused by the motions would damage the ground. If he wants to have some proper training, he will have to reinforce the walls, or he might risk a collapse by damaging them too much… Billy had to return to his dungeon the next day and recover his mana from transforming the walls into something more durable, and while he was planning to do that early in the morning, he found some visitors on his gate.
"I knew I had forgotten something… I had to give them some copies of that magic magnet," Billy said after a long.
"Sorry for bothering you, Billy," Icarus said.
"Skip the small talk. What did you come here for?" Billy asked. "I will give you guys something to prevent this kind of surprise. For numerous reasons, we can't let anyone see us together."
"I guess that is convenient, but there exist magic tools like that?" Icarus asked. "Anyway, we wanted to do some training in your dungeons. Is that fine with you?"
"I suppose… you will have to sell all the materials at the guild, though," Billy said. "Also, using your powers too often will become a problem to me."
"We are planning to train inside the dungeons to avoid that…" Lucyna said and then sighed.
"Anyway, I can arrange that, but aren't you going to return to your usual routine of traveling around and looking for others like us?" Billy asked.
"I am tired, so I will stop for a while," Icarus replied. "I feel like my strength has stagnated, so I will spend some time training myself."
Billy couldn't care less about his motives, but it seemed weird for Icarus to decide that at this point. Regardless, that would make Billy gain more money, and that was what was important. His spies could also do the same work that Icarus could do, so it was fine.
Billy led those two to the dungeon and introduced them to the important people of the place. Along the way, they asked him about the dungeon, and they got quite interested in the guardian. It wasn't easy to find a dragon, after all. Defeating one there seemed like good training. With their movement speed, they won't have to stay inside for weeks either.
In any case, Billy used that dungeon most of the time, but perhaps he should use the other in order not to bump into those two too often. As usual, Billy felt that he wasn't leveling up much, so he wanted to do some grinding on his own for levels.

"Yep, I didn't level up much, and my skills are progressing too slowly…" Billy thought after he checked his status. "I suppose it can't be helped considering their current level."
Billy rarely saw someone with his skills as high as his. When he usually found them, they were legendary monsters or individuals like Ollen. Nevertheless, only time would help him make his skills stronger since they needed as much mana as himself to level up, and he would rather choose some extra status points.
In any case, Billy headed to the other dungeon and then restored his mana. Instead of using all that for his new training, he just returned to his underground training arena and sat there before closing his eyes. Before testing his ideas, he should imagine them in action and see if they make any sense or could be applicable. While that wasn't something he was used to, Billy felt that he needed to have more mental training…
Thanks to the many hours he used to practice Meditation and to learn how to control his rage, he easily entered the mode where he could imagine himself training. However, that was the easy part. Imagining what he wanted to learn and seeing it in action was difficult. In any case, Billy began to think about how he could improve Fierce Aura…
