The night had been long for everyone and they wishes for their break to come. As far as they are concerned about the mission or quest that Leon had been telling them, they can't seem to comprehend it while being tortured to so much pain inducing routines that had been in continuous pace that didn't give them a breather.  
It started when Leon explained to them the importance of this mision and how it would affect the future of the world. Before they knew it, they are already at the hellish training and slowly feeling the pain that had been going to their muscles and every tissues in their bodies.  
"Crow, why Leon is like this? He looks like hell is second to his name! Damn!" Audyll said through gritted teeth. They all are having shaky arms while lifting a stone cut masterfully in the same sizes and weight. It wouldn't be that startling if it is in an ordinary size but the problem is, it wasn't! 
The massive size that makes one shake their heads upon mentioning that one could bear and lift it is in their shoulders, breaking every fiber that is connecting their limbs. At first they are flabbergasted but as time went on they soon realize that such a reaction is not enough to their current predicament.  
Audyll felt like his already buff muscle is growing even more and getting doubled. Crow is nothing much burdened since his power and stamina is greater than the bony and wrinkled humans beside him. 
Most especially Aiko that had been falling down after rising up to her feet from carrying the same load as the guys. She is a woman and her muscle structure and strength she has in her body is lower than that of the other two, given that the other one of them is not human, she couldn't possibly... 
Even though normally Crow would be the first one to tell his discomfort but seeing that even Leon is doing the routine with them, how could he possible ask him to stop when he could lift double the weight they are lifting right now without even breaking a sweat or vocally saying that his body is hurt.  
How on Earthex Leon could do that?! 
The person in subject has too much things to handle so the opinion that had bloated out unlike the usual is currently not his priority to dwell in.
He found out that the analyzation of the barrier had already been done. They could infiltrate now but the additional quest below is what made it harder to do what he has to do.  
『Congratulations! >Find the Mastermind< quest unlocked a hidden quest, >Hell is second to your name!< 
There is a reason that the difficulty of the current quest is quite ridiculous to take. How come the host didn't take care of his subordinates? The pure and innocent system had thought about it and ended up with a quest befitting only to those that are chosen to follow you even through heaven and hell.  
Hidden Quest Unlocked: Hell is second to your name!
Objective: All your underlings are extremely weak! Break, crush or anything, do anything to make them taste what it's like to work till your bones melt! 
Make your underlings stronger! Only then you could move to fulfill your quest! 
Failure: Failure to complete the main quest. 
Duration: 3 days 
Additional rewards will be given if one of them call you Hell. 』
The ridiculousness is enough to make Leon wanted to fight the system again but seeing that they are below of the tenth Geoff has, Leon's lips twitches before he switches his eyes to the next window that is currently open. 
Remembering that he is given with a map as a reward in the previous quest and now he have seen the red mark that the marks on the map was placed. It said to be a place near to where they are right now that's why he decided to go to this place when they are finish here, with or without his set of idiots.
"Sigh" The faces of the exhausted and idiots lighten up when they heard Leon sighed. 
Maybe he is tired now! We could have a break... 
Everyone are having the same thoughts and wishing for it to come true but then when Leon continued from raising the stone once again, all of their hopes are crushed and the stone went to the ground in sync.  
BLAAAAAAG. 
That is when Leon look to their direction and could see the stressed faces and the sunken eyes they have. Although surprised, Leon didn't think much and put the stone lifts down in confusion. 
Is this another bluff? They thought but then Leon started to pull equipment after equipments on the ground. 
But the three are still stuck to where they are, don't know what to do. Leon lifted his eyes after noticing that they haven't move an inch from where they are.  
"Are you planning to waste your little time to rest by just standing there? Should I continue the training then?" After hearing what Leon said all of them went fallen to the ground and collapsed.  
Leon shook his head and continue on arranging the mini table with a portable heating stove. What more is better if it's not eating when you are tired? He is going to fill his stomach than go lying down. This is what he had learned from experience when he have to fight for his life for weeks.  
The only one that still have energy in him went to his owner and curiously watch what he is doing. Seeing this Leon just let him be with nothing much to say. 
First before he could leave this continent, he has to check whether what the system saw is the truth or not. After that, he will look for that continent that had been marked as forbidden. There is something that had been pulling him to do so and this feeling will not make him rest if set aside for too long. 
He hate to admit but he is missing Geoff more than anyone. He had been his friend for so many years and even swore that would be by his side forever but look at him now? Not even a shadow is with him... 
"Sir, is there anything I could help with?" Crow asked after noticing that his owner will not say a word or reprimand him which is rare from his usual self. He had an inkling of why his owner is doing this training. He is after all connected to the system thus he has no objection to his master's will since this is for the better as well. Crow was once a human that's why his conscience and thoughts are still intact in him even though he doesn't have any body now. With this knowledge he still doesn't understand what is the logic behind his Master's thinking. It's knowledgeable and full of wisdom one second and the other it's dumb and idiotic. There are times that he has a set plan while there are others that he act out of impulse. But even so, the end result isn't that bad... albeit it's even better than what he could expect.  
That's when he started to look up at him as someone to admire and look forward to. A master. Just like how a disciple look to their lords. 
"What are you thinking?" Leon commented when he saw that troubling expression over his face. How could he describe it? Full of colors? With fluff and all that heart that he doesn't even need from a man. 
Hearing that he is being questioned, his invisible ears and tails were visibly showing towards his eyes and Leon doesn't like it.  
"Well I just couldn't help but think how awesome you are sir... " 
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! HE IS LIKE SATAN!" Audyll butted in which had made Leon smirk and of course had sent shivers to the hearts of Aiko and Crow. They wanted to stop Audyll's stupid mouth but it was too late when they saw the smile in Leon's face which had greatly annoy Audyll more. Leon let go of the knife and pierce it to the cutting board. Crow wanted to stop him but once again Audyll shouted. 
"YES! COULDN'T ACCEPT THE REALITY BRO? HELL IS YOUR SECOND NAME! YOU ARE THE VERY DEFINITION OF THAT HELLISH HELL PLACE! YES YOU ARE YOU BULLY---" 
BAM! 
Leon said sorry to the air before he had hit Audyll in the pit of his stomach, where it would hurt the most. He dusted his hands while watching Audyll crumpling in the ground with a face that even uglier than his normal... Leon's eyes are screaming contempt and judging which had greatly hurt Audyll's ego but he realized, he couldn't do anything and this behavior is actually fitting for him. He is weak. He just can't accept that fact. 
"Me? A bully? Sure if you see those training as me bullying then you shouldn't had pry to what business I am having and just stay your asses inside your own room and pretend ignorant! I am giving you two the responsibility and outcome of your choices and now what? I am being a bully? HOW LIGHT BEING A BULLY TO YOU THAT FROM JUST THAT MINIMAL TRAINING YOU WILL LABEL ME AS SUCH?!" His eyes are full of displeasure and belittling but they doesn't have anything in return to prove him wrong because they know, he is right. 
Saliva is seeping out of his mouth but his eyes are getting redder and redder from the suppressed feelings that he couldn't pour out.  
Seeing that they couldn't retort back to what he said, he put away all that he had been doing since earlier and instead he pulled out sets of weapons out from his ring.  
When he went to buy supplies, he happened to see a blacksmith... a chuunibyou that wanted to fulfill his dream of being an npc that sells weapon. He is even in full gear of sack clothes with that little ribbon scarf on his neck with mustache that had grown into a full beard. Leon was seen as an adventure by the man and even gave him discount from his purchase.  
From knife to swords, lance and spear, bow to cross bows... even staff that he doesn't know if he really needed. There are warhammers and axes, all kind of weapons are laid on a table that he pulled out too, from his spacial storage since it can accommodate bigger items. 
On the other table, he put the modern weapons like guns, grenades, flash bangs, googles and etc which makes it look like they are going for war. All of these had given the three the time to recover while Aiko helping Audyll to get back up to his feet. 
After making sure that he prepared everything already is only when he turned his back with a meanigful smile that had made the three shivers... the two from fear and the other from excitement. Before he could explain, he pulled out a potion that had been offered to him by the elves which asked for treaty in exchange of herbs and medicinal help that he would be needing thus had been giving him steady stock of healing potion such as what he is holding right now.  
He uncork the potion and immediately the strong smell of nature had made them crease his brows. WIthout thinking much, Leon splash all the content towards Audyll. His face turned red and almost all his nerves popped but as soon as the healing took effect, he stopped and waited until he is completely healed. 
"What the effin f*ck is that..." He muttered but enough to make Leon smirk once again. 
"I guess I had been lenient to training all of you that's why right now I will seriously shape you as someone befitting to follow me outside. Let's all duel to death. Don't worry I have a potion ready for everyone so the death in your head can go. I will make sure that Hell will be the last image you will see whenever you are talking about me."  
They can't forget the smile that is plastered in his face and yet true to his words, they swore not to enrage Leon once again.
