久久一本通凹凸一道久视

As if he was a diplomat or something, many new leaders approached Leon in order to create amicable relationships with him. Even though Alexei spread the magic knowledge in Europe, those guys still wanted Leon to pay them a visit and give them some lessons. That was fine and all, but his hands were already full, just having two thousand students in Las Vegas. He didn\'t need millions of them all over the world.

That being said, Leon made a mental note to help them. He was a soldier of the Allied Forces of North-America, and he was their allies, helping allies was a given. Besides, even though he failed in saving Makoto and rescuing Yuki on time. He succeeded in obtaining allies, and he also received a lot of coins, and more importantly, he received Makoto\'s Katana and even the railgun.

"... Are you sure about that?" Leon asked.

"Yes," Lennart said. "The new leader of Russia said that they wouldn\'t need it anymore. Since you don\'t plan world domination and this thing requires a lot of mana, it will be better if it stays on your hands."

Speaking of which, the new leader of Russia was one of the few people who saw Leon got hit by the railgun. The projectile destroyed two thousand skeletons in an instant opened a massive hole in the middle of Moscow… the Russian leader didn\'t want to get too close to the person who survived that.

"Well… I will accept it." Leon said. "Even though it is a bit weird, carry the weapon that almost killed me."

Alexei had many magic items, but none of them were as good as Leon\'s current gear. Only the railgun was leagues above anything he had.

Railgun

It causes damage equal to the mana used.

Cost: 3000 mana

Cooldown time: 600 seconds.

It didn\'t grant Leon any skills or stats, but it was a stupidly powerful weapon nonetheless. The problem was the size and weight. It was bigger and heavier than Leon… One week had passed since the day Leon killed Alexei and Seiji, and it was time to go back home. Makoto won\'t return, and Leon couldn\'t even bring back his body. However, Yuki was with him, and Lennart would accompany him as well to see Gisela. Their mother also wanted to come, but imagining one more passenger would make it difficult for Leon. Lennart decided to leave her behind.

Everything was ready… but still, Leon stopped on the east entrance of Moscow and looked at the building Alexei built to show his power and influence. He was a greedy fool, but Leon could have become him if he hadn\'t found Amanda and Maya. Even though he didn\'t want to, he ended up hearing Alexei and Seiji\'s backstory. Both of them lost their wives and kids when the monsters appeared. In fact, Alexei\'s first wife was a Japanese woman... in his own distorted way, he wanted to feel closer to his dead wife... After that, when they discovered they could become stupidly powerful, their damaged psych made them change… it made them seek power in order to fill the void inside themselves. Alexei wanted to create a Russia that could protect its citizens, and Seiji wanted the same for Japan. However, they took a wrong turn along the way… and lost sight of things. They wanted to sacrifice a few in order to save the majority; they wanted to conquer everything in order to make a country powerful enough.

"I wonder what I would if I had discovered that even Amanda died that day… what would be my goal? What would I be doing now?"

That was a question hard to answer, close to impossible. So, Leon decided to forget about it. It would take a couple of days to reach Japan, and the trip was rather uncomfortable since Yuki wasn\'t comfortable traveling with someone who worked for the man who caused her so much pain. That being said, Leon was sure that she would get used to it. She still didn\'t like Americans since one of them killed her brother, but she finally treated Leon as an ally. Anyway, the mood was heavy, and the trip would be long. So, Leon decided to strike a conversation.

"Do you know how exactly your skill heal burns?" Leon asked.

"It\'s a bit complicated…" Yuki said. "With poison, sickness, and curses, I just have to use a little mana to gather all the impurities in one place to destroy it or make the patient get rid of it naturally. However, to heal burns, I end up using more mana to revitalize the dead cells… I guess it\'s like using mana to use CPR all dead cells."

"So, it\'s like forcing the cells to revive," Leon said.

"More or less… using my and the patient\'s mana," Yuki answered. "I make both energies pass through the wound and put them inside the dead cells; after that, I just force the mana to move inside the cells intensely until it revives them."

Leon nodded; it was like the advanced version of his current healing ability. Still, he wasn\'t good at the weak version of that skill, so it would take a while before he could learn how to heal burns, but Leon tried anyway. However, much to his surprise, he tried to do that in a burned area of what was left of his shoulder, and he succeeded.

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Cure Burns.

You obtained 01 status points.

"What?!" Yuki shouted in surprise. "How did you learn that so fast?"

"I\'m bad at controlling mana meticulously…" Leon said. " That is why I\'m learning slowly how to heal ordinary wounds, but I guess I\'m quite good at making my mana work violently."

"… As I imagined, you are a brute who tends to solve things with brute strength." Yuki frowned.

"I won\'t deny it, I trained to solve things with brute force," Leon said.
