Welcome to the training, which aims to train Daevas who will be stationed in Balaurea.

As mentioned, we wish to raise a small elite unit of Daevas that combines physical strength, intellect and skill.

The training will be tough, but can you learn it and persevere?

• ‘Yes!’

Then let’s begin the training right away!

The first training is to learn how to obtain the materials necessary for battle.

Meet the Warehouse Manager Lukania.

She will explain the details to you.

• You end the conversation.

Objective: Collect the Rookie’s Combat Chest in Sanctum.

Welcome. Would you like to use the warehouse?

You can use both your personal storage and the account warehouse.

• You say you have come for training.

Oh, you’re a rookie from Sanctum!

Hmm, but what are we supposed to do about that now...

Recruits were supposed to be issued basic supplies, but it seems the recruit who just returned took the last batch or something.

I’d like to give you something, but the warehouse has been completely emptied.

I can quickly show you how it works. Would you like to buy the supplies yourself?

• You keep listening.

In Sanctum there are merchants who sell consumables, armour, accessories and other goods.

Meet the merchant Himusus there and buy Rookie’s First-Aid Chest, Rookie’s Picnic Basket, Rookie’s Equipment Chest and bring them to me.

Oh! If you’ve already completed such training, you can move on to the next training.

Skipping has no drawbacks, but if you complete the training conscientiously you’ll receive a small compensation. Think it over carefully and then decide.

• I will take the training.
• I want to skip the training.

Have you brought the items mentioned earlier?

The items I mentioned are at least the minimum equipment for combat.

Before you go into battle, it’s advisable to buy such items.

• I have checked the combat equipment.

You bought the equipment much faster than I expected.

Whatever problem may arise in the future, Daeva, you will surely handle it well.

• You keep listening.

Thank you for not tackling the task half-heartedly, but for carrying it out conscientiously from start to finish.

Diligence is precisely the greatest driving force that enables growth.

Your conscientiousness will soon be rewarded in some form.

• You keep listening.

Now, do you want to proceed with the next training?

Next... hmm, combat training!

Ah, but it seems Lavirintos is calling you?

Before you begin combat training, first go to the Protectors Hall and meet Lavirintos!

• You end the conversation.

Phew, Daeva, I’ve been waiting for you.

Is your training going well?

I’ve heard you’ll receive quite intensive combat training. Before it starts, I wanted to tell you something.

• You keep listening.

Combat is about more than just health and mana. As a Daeva you also need to learn to deal with divine power.

You look like you’ve never heard that term before.

Divine power is also referred to as DP. Did you know that only Daevas can use divine power?

But it cannot be restored naturally, in contrast to your health and mana. It is only refilled through combat or eating jelly.

You can store a maximum of 4,000 DP.

• You keep listening.

Once you’ve stored up some divine power, you can use your Divine Power Skill.

Each class has its own DP skill, so you should make sure you learn about yours.

It isn’t easy to use DP skills, but they are very powerful. If you’re good at using your divine power, you can gain a decisive advantage in combat.

Any questions, noble Daeva?

• You say no.

Whether that’s mere arrogance or complete ignorance, one cannot say.

Well, you’ll find out soon.

The next training is combat training.

The combat training takes place in the underground arena of Sanctum beneath the Coliseum.

If you want to train, meet Epeios. He will guide you.

• You end the conversation.

The Coliseum is an arena where you can fight against other Daevas.

If you want to know how strong you’ve become, try the arena.

• You say you have come for training.

Ah, so you are here for combat training.

As a Daeva, combat training is essential.

To complete missions, combat skills are fundamental; you’ll also need endurance, courage, diligence and other attributes.

Therefore, Sanctum imparts exactly these skills through training.

• You keep listening.

Combat training takes place directly in the Sanctum’s underground arena.

Recruits enter the arena and must face vicious beasts, sometimes a dozen of them.

This is how they learn the proper feel and build their combat abilities.

There are gates at the front and at the sides of the arena; when these open, the beasts stream in.

The aim is to defeat as many foes as possible within the allotted time. At least around ten...?

• You keep listening.

Ah, even though it may seem dangerous, you needn’t be overly afraid just yet.

You might be injured, but Daevas heal wounds quickly. That shouldn’t be a major problem.

The combat test is meant to assess your skills and promote your growth. However, you may skip it if you’re too timid or have already completed it.

Skipping has no drawbacks, but if you complete the training conscientiously you’ll receive a small compensation. Think it over carefully and then decide.

So, how would you like to proceed?

• You accept the combat training.
• You skip the combat training.

So you failed to defeat ten Elyos spirits. That’s rather unfortunate, isn’t it?

So, will you now fold your wings and lick your wounds, or plunge back into battle at once?

Let me know when you’re ready to try again.

• You ask to be sent to the Sanctum’s underground training grounds.

You’re back.

Were the beasts kind to you? They were surely delighted at the sight of such a fresh meal.

Tell me, how many did you slay?

• You give your report.

Congratulations! You have successfully passed the combat test.

Hm, is it just your imagination, or do you feel a little different/relieved now?

Perhaps you were uncertain or hesitant at first and could have aborted the training, yet you carried it out conscientiously. For that I am very pleased.

• You keep listening.

With this skill you could travel to Balaurea and face the Balaur or other foes without difficulty.

But recklessness is dangerous. Aside from your combat skills you should also develop your other skills and status attributes.

You can train that part at the next rank.

Now, try to make contact with the stigma master Mirya.

She will tell you about stigmas.

• You end the conversation.

Are you training to go to Balaurea?

In Balaurea, Daevas will undertake many missions and tasks, but above all strategic skill is required.

Then you must make use of stigmas.

Have you ever heard of stigmas?

• You say that you don’t know.

Stigma Stones aren't just pretty to look at.

Within them are anchored the sacrifice and the spirit of the great Daevas who fell in battle for the Sanctum.

It is a great honour to bear Stigmas because through them we make direct contact with those who have died.

In this way I help to ensure that we remember the will of our ancestors.

• You keep listening.

Do you know the proverb ‘seeing is better than believing’?

Sometimes seeing once is worth more than hearing it a hundred times.

Here, I’ll give you this stigma and a stigma shard. Try equipping them.

• You end the conversation.

You have equipped a stigma.

How is it? Do you feel that something has changed?

• You say that you don’t know.

That may be the case for now.

But if, despite training, you can no longer become stronger, stigmas and the souls of your ancestors bound within them will make you even more powerful.

If you want to equip a stigma, come by anytime.

So, the combat training is now over. Please meet Lavirintos. He will be waiting for you.

• You end the conversation.

It looks like you haven’t equipped a stigma yet.

Being cautious is good, but sometimes you must act before fear sets in.

Equip a stigma and then come back to me.

• You end the conversation.

Greetings, Daeva.

As a recruit you’ve surely been on many missions. What’s your assessment?

• You give your report.

Does that mean it’s nothing special?

Confidence is good, but don’t lose your caution. It can cause you to lose sight of your objective on the battlefield.

That was exhausting. Rest a little until the next rank.

Lavirintos acquires materials in Balaurea that are needed for reinforcements; to do so he trains Daevas in the Crucible. You should go to him.

You have learned a method to secure the items needed for war, and through class preceptors you have deepened your knowledge of divine power.

Afterwards you trained and learned how to attune stigmas. You reported all of this to Lavirintos.
