167 Chapter 166



Lennart would work as an internal agent, so Leon decided to register his number on his cellphone. He doubted that the kid would lie to his sister\'s benefactor, and he also seemed to be an honest kid.

"Come to think of it… what happened to that chopper Betty and I used before?" Leon asked.

"It\'s in the same place you left," Betty said. "Why do you ask?"

Leon looked behind and saw Betty approaching. Usually, she would work with Hector and Amanda to protect the city, but she came alone.

"You are early…" Leon said. "Gisela and the kid want to go to Germany, can you take them?"

"Please, use my name…" Lennart sighed.

"Sure, there\'s nothing to do around here, and since the soldiers can fight now using magic, I can\'t have a decent exercise." Betty nodded. "I guess I could use a break and travel the world a little."

Leon frowned when he heard that, it looked like Betty was being a little too carefree. But Leon noticed that a person couldn\'t be in combat mode day in and day out. A break and a change of scenery were necessary. Leon forgot about the meaning of those since there was no point in taking a break on the island, there was nothing to do there, after all. That being said, there were days that he didn\'t practice his magic there. Those were the days that he was too depressed to do anything… and those were also the days he regretted the most.

"Thank you, just make sure to give a call if something happens," Leon said.

"Yeah, yeah," Betty said.

"Anyway, how is your progress?" Leon asked. "Did you finally learn a spell?"

"Hehe, thanks for asking," Betty smirked. "I trained day in and day out, and I finally learned Fire Bullet! Wanna see?"

"…Rather than seeing, I want you to use on me." Leon said.

Betty trained hard, but it looked like she wasn\'t motivated enough. So, Leon decided to help her in that regard, and considering her past; he knew exactly what he had to do.

"Are you sure?" Betty frowned.

"Of course, I won\'t even try to dodge, so do your best," Leon answered.

"You and your cocky attitude…" Betty said, looking a bit offended. "Don\'t regret it later…"

Despite saying that, Betty hesitated in attacking a friend and much less an injured friend. After several seconds, she shot a Fire Bullet toward Leon\'s feet. It didn\'t cause any damage thanks to Mana Armor, and it barely hit the mark.

"… I guess you need to train your accuracy." Leon said.

"Why you…" Betty clenched her teeth.

This time Betty hesitated a little less. She noticed that her attack didn\'t damage Leon, even though it was supposed to damage even without directly hitting it. Her Fire Bullet hit Leon\'s chest, but it didn\'t even burn his clothes. She didn\'t know why since Leon kept as a secret the Mana Armor. Unless a person decides to increase their mana as much as possible, Leon decided that he wouldn\'t teach that.

Betty tried a few times, but her attacks didn\'t cause any damage. At some point, Betty stopped holding back when she saw Leon smirking. It was the same annoying smile that he showed when they played fighting games in the past, and he won.

"You need to level up that skill more," Leon said. "If, when you return, you manage to wound me even a little, I will teach you a new spell."

"Hmph! The next time I will kick your ass." Betty snorted and then left.

It looked like Leon wounded her pride a little, but he knew that Betty wasn\'t the type who hold grudges. Every time he did that in the past, Betty practiced those fighting games for a few days until she could defeat him in a flawless victory.

After Betty, Gisella and Lennart left to pack their things. Leon resumed his training. Truth be told, Leon wanted to Betty\'s magic get stronger because he wanted to practice his skill to cure burns. She was the only one who could do it anyway, Amanda wouldn\'t do that to her brother, and Hector wouldn\'t do that to his brother-in-law. Gisela and Lennart were in the same situation, so the only ones left were Betty and Sasha. As for Sasha, she barely speaks with Leon.

"Well, then…" Leon murmured.

Using wind magic, Leon caused some damage to his skin. People already knew that he had to wound himself to practice that skill, but he still didn\'t want to show that to anyone. Much less when Maya was nearby, so he caused the damage the way only someone very close would notice.

Leon tried to heal all the wounds at the same time, but once again, he failed. He recalled the days where he trained to learn how to control several objects at the same time on the island, and just like that time, he wouldn\'t learn it so easily. Unlike healing skills as fast as possible, he had to heal several of them slowly, but at the same pace. He could heal two wounds at the same time, but one was faster, and the other was always slower, Leon was pretty sure he wouldn\'t learn Regeneration like that.

"What a pain…"

Although it was annoying to fail so many times, Leon was sure that once he succeeds, all the failures will disappear from his memory, and then he would only have the feeling of accomplishment. Besides, it wasn\'t like he had any other choice. It was a bit too much to hope that he would learn a more powerful skill if he levels up Heal until level 100. Not only that, but it would also take a long while before he could make a skill reach that level. Even after more than four years, his earth manipulation that he used every day was still level sixty-two.
