Back to Elf School 1

All right, it's obvious what I have to do. I need to get out into Maple World and make sure the Black Mage is still sealed away. But...I'm still too weak to make it past the slimes...

Do I have to start my training from all over again? I can't even remember what I used to do to train! Hm... I was still a kid, so I couldn't leave town... I think I had to fight Puppetree in Elf School.

Back to Elf School with me, then? A fine picture this makes, the sovereign of the Elves, master of the Dual Bowguns, struggling to take down training dummies... Hm. Wait, didn't I also used to train by fighting Yetis and Wyverns...? I guess they'd eat me in one bite if they saw me now...

Okay, Elf School is my only option. Otherwise, I won't stand a chance against the powerful slimes outside...

Come on, Mercedes. Nobody is watching. I can do this!

No, there's got to be another way! Another option... No... There are no other options!

That's 10 Puppetree down. It's not much, but I feel a little stronger now. That's a start, at least.

Okay, time to swallow my pride and just go back to Elf School. It's fine. There's nobody watching me.
