—In the south wing of the demon king's castle.
Albert held his Miao Dao with both hands as he adopted a fighting stance in one of the massive training halls in this wing. He was the only one currently in this hall as everyone else would train in a different hall.
As an Advanced Level Tier 5 Magic swordsman, the only people in this castle that could challenge him besides his master were the girls. Even Z would not be able to push him too far and he wouldn't get anything out of a sparring section with him.
Since the girls weren't interested in training with him he had no choice but to go at it alone. Z had advised him to just spend his time learning new control spells that could complement his fighting style but he could not learn many spells and he did not feel like just learning low-level spells would help him to the extent he was aiming for.
