They continued walking along the path.
Soon they arrived at a large open area surrounded by tal walls but filled with soil beds, growing plants, and small trees.
Garion stopped and gestured toward it. "This place is the garden."
Rachel stepped forward and looked around carefully. Rows of herbs, vegetables, and small plants were already growing.
"This is for Aveline?" she asked.
Garion nodded. "Yes. Aveline and anyone with nature elent."
He pointed toward the soil beds. "They can grow herbs, plants, and food here. Anything useful for dicine or supplents."
Rachel knelt slightly and touched one of the small leaves.
"The soil feels different," she said.
Garion nodded again. "I reinforced it with mana so plants can grow even under the gravity."
Rachel stood up again and smiled slightly. "Aveline will definitely like this."
Garion shrugged. "She complained enough earlier."
Rachel laughed softly.
They continued walking again.
Soon they reached a long building with several entrances along the side.
Garion pointed at it. "This is the dormitory."
Rachel looked at the structure. "So everyone stays here?"
Garion nodded. "Yes. All of us."
He gestured toward the different sections. "You, , the disciples, and anyone living on the main island."
Rachel tilted her head slightly. "Simple design."
Garion shrugged. "It’s a training base, not a palace."
Rachel nodded. "That makes sense."
They kept walking until they reached the largest building on the island.
The massive tal doors were already open.
Garion stepped inside and gestured toward the huge interior. "And this..."
He smiled slightly. "...is the main thing."
Rachel stepped inside and imdiately stopped.
The entire area was filled with training equipnt.
Rows of machines, weights, platforms, and training areas filled the massive hall.
Garion walked forward. "Upper body training area."
He pointed toward a section filled with heavy tal equipnt.
Then he pointed to another area. "Lower body training."
Rachel looked toward a different section where large running tracks and strange machines were placed. "And that’s cardio?"
Garion nodded. "Cardio, endurance, stamina."
Rachel slowly walked through the hall, looking around carefully. "This place is enormous."
Garion shrugged. "We’re God Gym."
Rachel laughed quietly. "That’s true."
Garion leaned against one of the machines. "That’s basically all the main rooms."
He gestured around casually. "If you want to understand the effects of the new facility... just try them."
Rachel raised an eyebrow. "Try them?"
Garion smirked. "You’ll see."
Rachel crossed her arms and looked around the tal island again.
Then she asked the question that had been bothering her. "Garion."
Garion looked at her.
Rachel gestured toward the outside. "Why did you build the entire island out of tal?"
Garion smirked again. "For training."
Rachel frowned slightly. "That doesn’t answer the question."
Garion continued calmly. "A tal island is easier to maintain."
He folded his arms. "And more importantly..."
His voice beca slightly more serious. "We don’t have to worry about being attacked."
Rachel raised an eyebrow. "You’re that confident?"
Garion looked toward the horizon outside the open doors. "No one can sneak into this place."
Rachel frowned slightly. "What do you an?"
Garion pointed toward the ground. "This entire island is covered in tal, so it’s not easy to break."
He tapped the floor lightly with his foot. "And not only that."
Garion looked back at Rachel. "The whole island is also part of my gravity domain."
Rachel’s eyes widened slightly.
Garion smirked. "If soone tries to infiltrate God Gym...they’ll be crushed before they even reach the base."
Rachel looked down at the tal floor for a mont, thinking about what he had just said. Then she slowly nodded. "I see."
She glanced around the massive training hall again. "No wonder you built it like this."
Garion nodded once.
For a mont the two of them stood quietly in the large training hall.
Then suddenly...
BUZZ!
A small device in Garion’s pocket vibrated.
Garion frowned slightly and pulled out the phone that was specially given for Grand Faction leaders.
He looked at the ssage for a mont. "The Solmira clan is calling ."
Rachel stepped closer. "What happened?"
Garion read the ssage quickly. "The Grand Council is about to begin a eting."
Rachel imdiately understood. "It should be about the Draconia Clan."
Garion nodded. "Yes."
He turned the screen slightly so Rachel could see. "They want to be present."
Rachel looked at the coordinates displayed on the screen. "That was quite far."
Garion shrugged. "It’s not that far, and also this matter is a bit because of us too, so I need to be there."
He put the phone back into his pocket. Then he looked at Rachel. "Rachel."
She looked at him. "Yes?"
Garion gestured toward the island outside. "Please take care of the others."
Rachel smiled slightly.
"You an the group currently struggling under one hundred tis gravity?"
Garion smirked. "Yes."
Rachel nodded. "Don’t worry."
She walked past him toward the entrance of the hall. "I’ll make sure they train properly."
Garion chuckled quietly. "I expected nothing less."
Rachel glanced back at him. "Just focus on the eting."
Garion nodded. "I will."
Rachel smiled again. "And Garion..."
He looked at her. "Don’t start a fight with the entire Grand Council."
Garion smirked. "No promises."
Rachel shook her head with a small laugh. "Just go already."
Garion stepped outside the training hall. The heavy gravity didn’t affect him at all.
He looked toward the distant horizon where the eting coordinates were located.
Then he took a step forward.
Mana gathered around his body.
The ground beneath him cracked slightly as his power pushed against the gravity.
Rachel watched from the doorway.
Garion bent his knees slightly. Then...
BOOM!
He launched himself into the sky. His body shot upward like a bullet before turning toward the direction of the eting.
Within seconds, he disappeared into the distance.
Rachel watched the empty sky for a mont.
Then she sighed and turned back toward the island. "Alright..."
She walked toward the harbor where the others were still struggling under the crushing gravity. "...ti to start training."
