YM778.TV 131 Chapter 130
That was a problem, so Leon started to think of what he could do to help. Leon was still in the early stages of how to make a golem. Besides, his golems had to be controlled manually, so he had to find another solution. In the end, he couldn\'t just create the workforce they needed.
"… Those are the numbers of Sarah and Tom, the people who are in charge of New York." Leon said. "Tell them how to learn Earth Manipulation and also tell them that they can share that information with anyone. However, they also must tell that I can teach anyone how to use mana more effectively."
"I see… you want to attract more survivors to our city and make them protect and rebuild this place while they learn." Hector rubbed his chin. "Magic isn\'t something that can be learned so fast, so they will stay for quite a while, and some people are bound to decide to live here thanks to you."
"It\'s just the best way to solve that problem. Besides, the more people know how to use magic, the easier we will be able to protect the city." Leon explained.
"Hey, you will teach strangers before you will teach me?" Betty asked.
"You already know the basics… but I guess I can teach you if you want." Leon answered. "Anyway, did you guys learned any spell?"
"Amanda did, she has a lot of mana, so she progressed far more than any of us," Hector said. "Since things got hectic in the last months, we didn\'t progress all that much, but it shouldn\'t take long before we learn Earth Bullet."
Leon nodded, even though Hector and Sasha showed ashamed expressions, Leon didn\'t think they should feel like that. He had a lot of time on the island to practice, and he only learned his first spell after almost a year on that island. Speaking of spells, Leon\'s arsenal was lacking in the number of options. However, it would stay like that for a while, since he had to learn many things… many complicated things.
After lunch, Leon created the weapons Gisela would use to train, that should keep her mind busy. He didn\'t intend to stay in Japan for long, but you never know when a problem will arise. Leon wondered how much time would he lose if he couldn\'t fly using earth platforms. Until now, he used that like there was no tomorrow to solve problems here and there. However, he was starting to regret a little, because he didn\'t have to wait for vehicles if Leon had to go somewhere, he could go by himself.
Six hours after leaving Las Vegas, Leon and Betty reached San Diego. Betty almost attacked the transporter\'s megalodon when it appeared, and as expected, she hesitated in entering the monster\'s mouth.
"The trip will be long, right?" Betty asked after she got used to the humid place, which was a monster\'s mouth. " Teach me how to learn a spell."
"… You sound like you think that you can learn one in just a few hours." Leon frowned. "To make things more efficient, you should meditate for a few days to raise your mana and intelligence."
"All right then," Betty said, and then she started to meditate.
While she was doing that, Leon resumed his own training. He was still learning the basics of healing magic, but Leon thought that he could learn something if he talks with Makoto\'s daughter. Ren said that she could heal sickness, poisons, and curses, so he was pretty sure that was somewhat similar to what he was trying to learn. Regardless, it didn\'t take long for Betty to smell blood and frown while looking at Leon.
"What the hell are you doing?" Betty asked.
"I can\'t heal something that isn\'t wounded," Leon said. "I don\'t like this either, but there is no other way. No pain, no gain."
"… Just don\'t get used to it." Betty said.
Leon could only shrug, he knew where Betty was coming from, but in the end, that was the only way. Besides, he could only do that while Gisela was away. Knowing that someone was getting hurt to find a way to heal her would make her depressed, anyway, after trying and failing for a few hours. Leon decided to stop; he didn��t sleep in the last three days. So, he decided to make good use of that free time.
Leon and Betty arrived at Tokyo the next morning, a few months have passed since Leon had been there, but nothing seemed different. Betty, who was already nervous about seeing the most important man of that country, jumped and screamed when two of Makoto\'s ninjas appeared.
"… Sorry for startling you." The ninja said. "We\'re here to bring you two to the palace."
As expected, those guys didn\'t have enough mana to move three people from a place to another. Leon nodded, and then those two touched their shoulders and moved them to the imperial palace/fortress. They appeared in the meeting room, and even though it was very early in the morning, Makoto was already working with his most prestigious advisors. Surprisingly, Ren was among them, and he smiled when he saw Leon. He also saw the slight angry expression on the baldie\'s face.
"Leon, you have returned," Makoto said and showed a small smile. "You really fulfilled the promise you made. I must thank you for giving me the chance to punish accordingly those who killed my son."
"It was nothing. Although I had a hard time controlling myself not to kill them." Leon said. "I hope you are satisfied with the outcome."
"Indeed, I\'m mostly satisfied with the outcome…" Makoto looked at Betty, who slightly trembled. "However, I want to hear from your mouth why the leader of the spies who killed my son doesn\'t deserve the same fate of the others."
