There was also a young man there, talking with Akeno. The young man had short, black hair, and pale grey eyes. He was rather handsome, and around the same height as Isane. He wore casual attire.

Palutena stopped waving to her staff, and walked over to Rex.

"It's done." She stated. "I'm gonna go rest now."

"You do that." Rex replied. As Palutena walked past him, Rex gave her ass a swat, making her yelp in surprise as she walked away. Once she was gone, the Boosted Gear activated on Isane's arm, and the Divine Dividing wings activated on Valian's back.

["Well, well. It's been a while, Albion."] Ddraig growled. ["Decided to conspire with the murderer of my two strongest hosts?"]

["My host has feelings for the son of the current Lucifer, Ddraig."] Albion replied. ["Conspiring against you or your host has nothing to do with it, and it won't get in the way of our inevitable fight."]

["I doubt that very much."] Ddraig replied. ["Since he decided to kill both Belzard and-"] Ddraig stopped when Rex shot the gauntlet a warning look, and created a light-spear in his hand, pointing it squarely at the gauntlet, just like he had done the day before. 

The Welsh Dragon gave a ["Hmph."] and disappeared.

"Alright, everyone, listen up." Rex took a breath, and spoke, getting the attention of everyone in the room, while the Divine Dividing wings deactivated. "This door" he pointed to the door that Palutena had been waving at her staff at. 

"Leads to a dimension in which time flows 30.4375 times that of the outside world, a.k.a here, this house, the rest of the human world, you get my point."

"Uh..." Isane blinked. "That's a bit specific. 30.4375 times that of the outside world?"

"I should be training your brains instead of your bodies." Rex muttered. "But in layman's terms: one day out here, one month in there. Got it?"

"Oh, okay." Isane replied. The rest of Rias' peerage nodded.

"So, we'll actually be spending six months training instead of a week?" Rias asked. "Since the first day of my week of training was yesterday."

"Yup." Rex replied. "Any other questions?"

"Yes." Mirajane replied. "What about food? And other functions?"

Rex blinked.

"We'll have to eat, and go to the toilet insanely often, won't we?" Mira explained. "And since time flows a lot slower in that dimension than out here, won't we need food-"

"Every ten minutes or so, in out-here terms?" Rex finished for him. "No, you won't. But that was a smart question. You're smart. I like you."

Mira smiled.

"Palutena assured me" Rex continued. "That all your bodily functions will slow down in sync with the time chamber. So, basically, you'll still only need to go to the toilet every six-or-so out-here hours, which would be a week, give or take several hours."

"Ahh." Mira nodded.

"Any other questions?" Rex asked. "Because as a wise man once said, if you don't shake a leg, I'll fucking break it for you."

"…Did anyone actually say that?" Koneko asked.

"Yeah. Me." Rex replied. "Anything else?"

No-one else had any questions.

"Good." Rex opened the door, which opened into a beautiful, huge open field. "Now. Everyone in." He shepherded everyone inside, and shut the door behind them. "And one more thing before you start."

With a snap of Rex' fingers, weighted braces appeared on each of the wrists and ankles of Rias, Mira, Koneko, Kiba and Isane.

"These braces will subtly get heavier and heavier as time goes by." He explaind. "Right now, they're only slightly heavier than what you're used to carrying, aka your own body weight. If you wear them constantly while training, you won't even notice them, since you'll be getting physically stronger all the time, which eliminates the need for normal physical training, which'd take up at least ¾ of your training, otherwise."

The silver-haired Nephalem snapped his fingers again, and the weighted braces disappeared. When Rias and her peerage all exclaimed in surprise, and grabbed at their wrists or ankles, Rex sniggered.

"Oh, don't worry yourselves." He said. "You're still wearing those braces. They just won't interfere with everyday life. You won't need to think about putting them back on until the end of your training, and after that, I'll consider putting them on you again so you can keep training. And before you ask, they still work."

After a yawn, Rex spoke again.

"Okay, Rias." Rex pointed at Rias. "You'll be training with Akeno." Akeno smiled at Rias, who walked over to her. "Mirajane. You're off with Valian." He pointed to the silver-haired girl, who Mirajane bowed to, and walked over to.

"Not-relative-to-Sae-Toujou, aka Koneko." He pointed at Koneko. "You'll be off with Akasha." Koneko mutely walked over to the pink-haired Vampiress. "Isane, you'll be with your fellow Longinus-wielder, Tobio Ikuse. A friend of mine."

Isane walked over to Tobio.

"And Kiba." Rex turned his red eyes on Kiba. "You're with me. See you in about two weeks!" He called to everyone, and activated four magic-circles underneath them at the same time, sending everyone but Kiba and himself away.

Koneko jumped in the air, avoiding an attempted sweep-kick from Akasha, and threw a punch in return. Her fist impacted Akasha's face, but the Vampiress didn't even flinch. Instead, she swung her other leg up, catching Koneko by surprise and hitting her in the face.

Rias' Rook flew sideways, and landed on the soft ground. Jumping back to her feet, she redoubled her efforts to get her trainer to feel some sort of pain, and rushed at her.

Once she reached her, Koneko began swinging hard at Akasha, who, without even moving from her spot, managed to stop every attack she made. She leaned from side to side, making sure that Koneko's fists came agonizingly close to her, just to aggravate the white-haired midget even more, diverted her punches with her arms or hands, and even, in one case, blocked Koneko's punch with the centre of her forehead.
