Chapter 216: Chapter 216 - Training Completion

---Two weeks later---
Central Human World,
Upon finishing all the preparations, Lev's Nox Tourism finally opened its doors to the public. Unlike in the past, the people this time were very excited by the sudden announcement of Lev's official group of enterprises, 'Hendrix Enterprises'. Ranging from the otherworldly Infinity Castle Restaurant, world-breaking Storage World, and now the revolutionary Nox Tourism, the people felt like they were dreaming.
It all started a week before when Lev announced that he and his group were planning on creating a Tourism Company for which their target place was Gourmet World. At first, people didn't believe such an absurd announcement, but it was all answered when Lev held a public conference for which he presented how the Gourmet World, specifically in Area 7 looked like.
With Lev's beautiful presentation and conduct, the people watching him felt very curious and interested which immediately fired up everyone as they started throwing out questions like, 'How in the world did Lev head to the Gourmet World?', 'How come he was very familiar with the place? 'If it was the truth, then what kind of transportation they are planning to use?', 'Is the place safe there or not? And if it's not, then does the company take responsibility for the safety of the people?', etc.
All kinds of questions were thrown, and Lev answered them with confidence and assurance which left the reporters and critiques dumbfounded thinking that if Lev really was telling the truth, then it would be a revolutionary company especially since every human being was always seeking new ingredients and yet Lev presented such idea to them.
After all the answer and question portion, Lev then started presenting the rules and restrictions of the company and to the people who would like to render their service. Of course, since it was in the name of the company, the formal exchange for rendering their service is money and the price depends on how much time a person wanted to stay in the place. Living quarters and most especially Infinity Castle Restaurant were already available on the island, so the people wouldn't have a problem with where to live and get their food.
Also, after careful deliberation and discussion, Lev allowed anyone to build any kind of business for as long as they paid the taxes imposed on them. In addition, tourists who would like to stay on the island even after their contracted time was over was also allowed but their protection and safety would no longer be in the jurisdiction of the company. Lev wasn't worried about the other business taking over from him since the environment and Capture Level of the beasts and ingredients residing in the area exceeded the capability of a normal human being.
Many people especially those inclined with different kinds of business who wanted to take advantage of this immediately protested why Lev had the right to impose their taxes thinking that the place was a free world but they immediately shut up after Lev announced to the world that he was the King of the island and telling them that if he willed, he could order all the monkeys inhabiting in the island to crush them into pieces.
Lastly, the mode of transportation that they would use was through the Infinity Castle which could only be found in Nox Kingdom, making everyone that wanted to go to the Gourmet World head to Nox Kingdom first. It was a marketing strategy of Lev trying to entice the people to stay in his Kingdom first before leaving for the Gourmet World, specifically in Area 7.
Following that, the success of this operation then relies on Lucius' hands who is now getting started doing his work together with Nakime, the core of this plan, while Lev returns to the Heavy Drinker Archipelago since he still has some matters to deal with and to discuss their future plans to everyone.
______________________
Heavy Drinker Archipelago,
Inside one of the islands located in the place, Lev could be found sitting on the ground together with not just Minamoto, Mamako, Yasaka, Erza, Mirajane, and Melk the Second but also the individuals who just arrived, Sia and Megatron. They were having a serious discussion, especially about the current situation of Sia and Megatron, who until now, roam the entire world seeking ingredients.
"This is a lot of ingredients, Sia. Megatron." Lev complemented while looking at the thousands of Storage Rings in front of him coming from their journey as the two of them only communicated through telepathy and they did it only once every month. He didn't expect that in such times, both of them could amass such a large amount of Ingredients specifically fruits and plant ingredients with some beasts' meats and stuff.
"But before that. How were the two of you? Especially you, Megatron." Lev asked wanting to know how they were doing after all these years since just like Yuujirou, they also have a lonely journey and adventure. And unlike them, only Sia could eat leaving Megatron to just focus on seeking delicious ingredients.
"We have been doing fine, Master. However, there is a time for which the two of us have a little trouble dealing with." Sia took the chance to reply while looking at Lev with a smile as she thought about their adventure throughout the years. After getting the order, they roamed the whole world trying to draw its geography, and all those years, they were quite surprised and amazed by how big the planet was added by the beasts inhabiting within.
"Oohh. What is it?" Lev asked with curiosity again since it really was something to talk about knowing that Megatron, God himself, was with her and hearing that they somehow suffered a little problem in this world.
"When we're around in Area 3. We encountered the King of the area, the Crow King. During that time, we were having a little trouble on how to leave the place without harming it, but it was all for naught as it kept on following and attacking us which left Megatron no choice but to take action for self-defense." Sia replied while remembering it before she suddenly picked one of the Storage Rings among the thousands and took out the ingredients and material inside it.
"Hahahahaha. So, that's what you are talking about. Hahahaha." Seeing what just came out from the Storage Ring, Lev couldn't stop himself but laughed out loud while looking at the large several black steel-like feathers among the material and ingredients piled up beside them which he already knew where they came from.
"Well. There's nothing we can do about it." Lev said as he calmed down before shifting his attention toward the two individuals coming closer to them. As it was a formal meeting, it was only natural for them to come here but he gave them some time to finish what they were doing and follow them later.
"Master, what is the King of Area 7 doing here?" Megatron suddenly and curiously asked while looking at Bambina who arrived together with Yuujirou. He was so left behind from the happening around Lev and so he was wondering why was Bambina, the beast he once observed back then, doing here in this place.
"Hmmm. Just a perfect time. Bambina, you might already be familiar with him, right? How about playing with him?" Lev suddenly thought of a beautiful idea. Knowing how long they spent living in Area 7, Bambina and Megatron might already be familiar with each other and so he wanted to see how their battle would end.
Following that, Lev then moved back to Area 7 where Minamoto, Mamako, Yasaka, Erza, Mirajane, Melk the Second, and Yuujirou served as an audience as they all followed wanting to observe Megatron and Bambina's fight leaving Sunny on some island in the area still continuing his training under Lev's clone.

---One month later---
Drinking Frenzy Island,
After another month, Sunny's training finally came to an end, and was now having his last fight against Lev's clone on the island. Looking closely, Sunny's hair changed its appearance from how colorful it was before to a dull black color. It was all due to using Armament Haki on his hair which didn't just improve his hair but also his feelers.
"Sunny, I once thought Toriko had the highest compatibility of this technique, but I changed my mind. If you utilized the technique well, I think you're suitable to use it the most among them." Lev said while looking at Sunny fighting against his clones. Though it was the truth, he could also tell how strenuous it was seeing him already exhausted from just that, and if it was not because of the complimenting Total Concentration Breathing that he also taught him, he might have already been down by now.
"T-This i-is not beautiful at all! Hufff…Huff…" Sunny shouted before falling down on the ground. He knew how powerful the technique was and he was very thankful upon learning it but despite that, he felt like it not using it since it was making his hair turn black which was not beautiful at all.
"Hahahaha. Your training ends now, Sunny. Rest well and feel free to come later tonight. I will be having a celebration for your training completion." Lev said as he laughed before he stood up from where he was sitting and headed back to the place they had already stayed for three months. Together with this, their vacation time would also probably end soon since it's more or less three months before the whole Central Human World Arc would end and start its final phase of the story.
"Finally. Huff…Huff. I could now escape this hell and that ugly monkey. Huff… Huff." Sunny muttered while looking at the clear weather above him with a smile. Despite having all his preparation, he felt like it didn't help him that much thinking that he must have suffered more than the others.
Following that, Sunny then just stayed and rested in the place he was lying while waiting for the night which Lev promised that he would create a celebration party. Though he felt extremely exhausted for the past three months, the thing that kept him standing and getting up was due to Lev's cooking every now and then. So, he wanted to enjoy the incoming night as much as possible.

---Night---
Just like Lev's promise, a small party was held to celebrate the completion of Sunny's training. Each and every one of them could be found eating with smiles and laughing on their faces around the table outside the rest house that Lev created for them to stay on the island.
"By the way, Sunny. I have heard that you have your beast partner. Why didn't you let her come with you this time?" Lev suddenly asked upon only remembering such a thing. Thinking about it, he also felt kind of curious as to what one of the descendants of one of the Kings looked like in person.
"Bambina, that monkey beside you is one of the genuine members of the Eight Kings, Monkey King, Bambina, of Area 7. It's a shame that you didn't come with your companion, he might have been a good teacher to your partner during this time." Lev followed while munching down the whole fried leg of a large beast. Bambina's following was a great decision he made all his summons trained under him for three months and due to that, all of them were already used to fighting against his power level.
Hearing Lev, Sunny dropped the wine glass that he was drinking as he couldn't believe what he had just heard. He looked at Lev wanting to see if he was joking but seeing how serious he was, he immediately felt like all his hair standing up while he slowly turned his head towards Bambina who was sitting beside him while smiling at him. He shouted, "Eeeeeeehhhhhhhh!!!"
