Roy woke early, as was his habit, with the sun just rising over the Valvas estate. Grayfia Lucifuge was already awake, stretching gracefully beside him. He gently kissed her forehead, whispering, "Good morning, Grayfia. Ready to train?" She smiled, blushing slightly at the intimate gesture, and nodded.
Roy gathered his first and second peerage in the main training courtyard. Everyone was ready: Kuroka and Lavinia, Ravel and Yebullana, Katerea Leviathan, Koneko, and Grayfia from the first peerage; Scáthach, Medusa Rider, Irene Belserion, Astoria Saber, Astoria Lancer, Mordred, and Kaguya from the second.
Roy's morning focus: enhancing elemental magic synchronization and combat coordination among the peerages.
First peerage drills: Roy paired Ravel with Yebullana to combine fire and water dragon slayer magic, teaching them how to create steam walls or explosive water-fire combos. He guided their stances personally, and when Ravel misstepped, he lightly tapped her shoulder, "Close, but let me help you adjust." She blushed at the closeness, and Yebullana gave a playful glare.
Koneko's swordsmanship refinement: Roy guided her through dual-wielding drills, correcting her grip and stance. Occasionally, he ruffled her hair or rested his hand on her head to steady her, causing her to giggle and lean into him.
Second peerage drills:Roy trained Scáthach and Medusa Rider in synchronized spear and whip attacks, emphasizing agility and range control. Irene Belserion sparred lightly with Kaguya under Roy's supervision, learning advanced magic absorption techniques. He praised them individually, offering small touches like a hand on the shoulder, causing subtle blushes among the girls.
Midday – Lunch and Bonding
After an intense session, Roy led everyone to the mansion's dining hall, where Grayfia, Shuri, and Elena Phenex had prepared a hearty lunch.
Roy teased Ravel, "Careful, don't burn yourself with that soup."
Koneko sat beside him, resting her head on his shoulder as she ate, earning playful glares from Lavinia.
Grayfia caught Roy's hand under the table to thank him for a subtle encouragement during morning drills, and he gently squeezed it in return.
The lunch session was filled with laughter, teasing, and subtle romantic undertones among the girls, all under Roy's calm, teasing supervision.
Afternoon – Individualized Training
Roy divided the peerages into personalized training sessions:
Grayfia Lucifuge – Enhancing ice dragon slayer magic and strategic battle coordination. Roy held her hands as they channeled their magic together, syncing elemental flows. Grayfia blushed at their close proximity, and Roy teased, "You're improving, but don't make me carry you too far."
Kuroka & Koneko – Focused on chakra techniques and sword-magic fusion drills. Kuroka leaned into Roy when he adjusted her stance, causing a small blush.
Ravel & Yebullana – Advanced destructive magic combinations and team synergy. Roy guided their hands into casting simultaneous spells. Ravel's cheek pressed against his arm briefly when he corrected her hand position, making Roy grin.
Katerea Leviathan – Elemental enhancement and absolute control over water and ice dragon slayer magic. Roy's hand occasionally brushed hers while showing precise gestures, and Katerea flushed deeply.
Second Peerage:
Roy led Scáthach, Irene, Astoria Saber, and Astoria Lancer through high-speed weapon-magic fusion drills.
Modred and Kaguya worked on independent attacks while Roy observed, giving precise feedback.
Medusa Rider's tactical vision and magical perception were honed using subtle touch corrections by Roy, eliciting smiles from her.
Evening – Playful & Relaxation Time
After training, Roy encouraged bonding time:
Chess matches with Sona and Tsubaki, where he teased them with playful bets, making them wear magical girl costumes if they lost.
Cooking session with Grayfia and Shuri, preparing light snacks for the peerages. Roy leaned close to Grayfia to taste the soup, causing her to blush.
Short stroll around the estate with Ravel and Yebullana, showing them gardens and magical training grounds.
Romantic moments naturally arose:
Koneko and Roy shared soft moments in the courtyard, practicing swordsmanship with laughter and teasing touches.
Grayfia rested her head against Roy's chest while watching the sunset, holding hands.
Ravel and Yebullana playfully competed for Roy's attention, causing subtle blushing and gentle laughter.
Katerea thanked Roy for believing in her and for her newfound powers, bowing before him and then blushing at his reassuring smile.
Night – Reflection & Planning
Before bed, Roy gathered all peerages briefly:
Reviewed progress of individual abilities.
Set goals for magical synergy between first and second peerage.
Assigned light training or study for the next day to maintain a balance between combat growth and social bonds.
Roy then walked Grayfia to her room, hugging her tightly and whispering, "You've grown so strong today. I'm proud of all of you," before settling in for the night. The mansion quieted, the soft rhythm of sleeping peerages echoing the harmony Roy had built.
