Illusory World

[Trespasser, what a surprise. You made it this far. The third trial will soon start]

'A surprise indeed.' Ren thought with a smile.

The world changed. The black flames that dominated that entirety of it, disappeared.

Ren and Freya was located at a forest.

[A test for the mind. Live for two years without affecting your state of mind]

--1 year, 359 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes.

"That's all?" Freya was surprised. It was easier that she thought, especially after the first and second trial.

'Even Ren could complete this trial by himself... surely, this is not all there is to it, right?' Freya didn't dare to underestimate the trial, although she is immortal, but that was not the case for Ren.

"Yeah." Ren nodded. He expected this.

Ren and Freya was recognized as one person accepting the trial because of their connection. This trial is a test meant for only one person, of course there are a lot of obstacles that will appear. However, if you have two people, the obstacles won't matter at all.

'Still, 2 years, huh? I could practice as much as I want here.' Ren knew that there was a time dilation between this event' space, and Elysium.

Two years is equivalent to two weeks outside.

"I thought it was only one year, but since the trial is different with this sun. It's just more advantage for me." Ren mumbled.

"Hm? What are we gonna do?" Freya gave him a look.

'As expected, this kid knew something. But it seems it's not completely correct. Still, I wonder how he got this information? Hmm, should I ask? Let's hold it for now.' Freya shook her head. She still wanted to give time for them to develop a more closer relationship, not wanting him to deny her, she chose to avoid.

The act of him denying her, thinking about it, she felt inexplicable.

"Nothing. We can do whatever we want. Treat this two years as a vacation. I'll be practicing my magic." Ren spoke as a matter of fact.

"...Okay." Freya knew he was not the type to underestimate things, for him to be this confident. It means that there is no danger.

Freya relaxed, but still kept an eye on the surrounding. So that she would be aware if something unexpected happen.

Two days later.

"The magic power here is at a standstill, it's not good for circulating magic at all." Ren commented after trying to practice.

"Do you want to rest? How about food?" Freya who sat down under the tree as she kept on observing him, spoke.

There are a lot of animals in the forest, getting food is easy.

"...Do you want to have fun?" Ren asked. He noticed that there was nothing that she could do here, except observe him. He had to say that it is pretty boring.

"Hm?... No, I'm fine." Freya was a bit reserved. She thought that her master' strength should be the priority, and not her own enjoyment.

"Indeed, there are no civilizations here but there is still the ocean. Wanna go?" Ren walked toward her.

"You don't need to mind me. You should prioritize your practice." Freya smiled.

"Sigh. This is so not like you, come on. I promised to take you to the ocean, remember? I know that you already prepared our bathing suit." Ren held her hand, helped her stood up.

Freya's smile grew wider, "But... shouldn't you practice?"

Ren smiled wryly, "Practice is not as important as you, okay?"

"Fufu..." Freya chuckled.

"What happened, anyway?" Ren couldn't help but asked.

"Humph, you ignored me for two days. I want some attention."

"...sigh, yeah-yeah. I'll shower you with one."

"Fufu. My master is the best."

...

A year later.

"Ahh~~! Ren! Don't~~! Ahh~~! So rough...!"

"Hm? You like it, right? How about this?"

"Kyahh~~! No! More...~ Ahh~~! More! Ren~~! So good!

"More, or no more? Be clear. Try this technique."

"Nghhh~~~!!! Wha, wha! Ahh~~! Stop! I'm tingling all over~~!"

"Damn, the sound you're making..."

"Ren, what is this?!! It feels as if electricity is travelling-- Ahhh... all over my body... Ahh~~!"

"This is my new technique. Like it?"

"Mhnnn!!! l love it~! It's so good that it's making me wet!"

"Hey, what are you even saying? Wet from sweat, you mean? Although this is just a massage, your voice is still too lewd."

"But... Ahh~~! I can't stop it!"

Ren stood up, shaking the evil thoughts on his mind.

"Uhn? Why did you stop?" Freya was surprised and was a bit vexed that the wonderful sensation that she was feeling suddenly disappeared.

"That's all for today." Ren said while inwardly thinking that if his body does not grow up soon, this woman will be the death of him.

"...Fine." Freya gave up.

All this while Ren and Freya spent the year having fun together.

Like: Swimming in the ocean, camping in the mountains, exploring the underground world, and etc...

And since Ren found no improvement on his magic except being used to it. He started learning other things, because he didn't want to waste all the time with fun alone.

Learning the art of a masseur was one of the things he practiced. Freya was his partner.

Of course, the main thing that he was learning is swordsmanship with Freya as his instructor. Ren asked Freya on what weapon she is skilled in using, he didn't have any idea. Freya never used any weapon when fighting.

Freya summoned a golden transparent sword for him to see, saying that the sword was her weapon and she was quite good with it.

Hence, he asked for her to teach him the way of the sword.

...

Two years went by.

Both did encounter some obstacles, but it was mainly a test for one person. It didn't do anything.

The test were things that could make lonely people became depressed and lose their mind.

Like some instances where you will say that "If only there was someone with me." those are the obstacles that Ren and Freya faced.

But since there were two of them. It ended without any problems.

[Trespasser. The trial is over]
