Leon was starting to wonder how come the pain he always felt wasn't decreasing even though his resistance skills were leveling up like crazy. But the answer was obvious; it was because Ilyana was adjusting her power. Not only that, little by little those training sessions were increasing.

"About the next spell..." Leon said after using Full-Recover again like usual to decrease the feelings of weakness.

"To learn Power Zone, you have to emit your mana like you do when you use Mana Shield," Ilyana explained. "But you need to make your mana stick on the skin of your allies. Don't let it be absorbed."

"... I was thinking about learning Summon Golem next," Leon said. "It will be more useful to make them create the mana liquid in my place."

"You should give up on that," Ilyana shook her head. "Even if the golems will be made using your mana, you won't level up Farming or Alchemy. I don't mind teaching you how to do that after you learn the emanation series spells, but you should make both skills reach level max before you do that. "

Leon sighed, as expected, he wouldn't be able to level up Alchemy unless he does the difficult work himself. Alchemy increased the effects of the mana liquids he makes, after all. So, such a skill needed to be leveled up.

Since it was a waste of time trying to negotiate with Ilyana, Leon decided to leave her castle and resume his training... in the end, he had to train for three months to learn all the spells that increase his allies' status. Leon didn't obtain many status points himself, so he felt quite discouraged, and he wasn't alone.

"Hey, Leon. Let's play..." Sylph said, looking bored out of his mind. "You can't just use all your awaken time training."

"I wish that something could happen... anything because these days are looking even more boring than my time in that temple," Celsius said while she was lying on the ground and looking at the sky.

"Let's fight, Leon!" Efreet said. "After sweating a little bit, everyone can feel much better!"

"I wasn't to increase the size of my labyrinth," Gnome said.

"So noisy..." Undine sighed.

Leon summoned all his spirits for a change of pace since the last three months had been filled with intense training. However, soon he started to regret that. Volt was the only one who wasn't causing a ruckus... Although Leon didn't use many thunder spells, he became his favorite spirit since he wasn't noisy, and when he had free time, he just meditated, and he was doing exactly that... even though meditation wouldn't increase his powers all that much.

Regardless, since it has been a while, Leon decided to take it easy for a change of pace. He still had some mana liquid nearby so his spirits could stay on their physical forms for one hour or two. So, instead of worrying about that, Leon started to wonder about several things. One year had passed since he met Ilyana and he was already thirty-five... Even though he had a wild imagination, never in his wildest dreams, he imagined that he would live such a life. Everything seemed insane... using magic every day, not for the fun of it but to get stronger and prepare for a battle that it will take place in hundreds of years, traveling between planets, talking with spirits... becoming the student of a five thousand years old witch. Leon's life didn't make any sense.

"I never wished for a boring life, but I never asked for a crazy one either..."

Although Leon became someone who could influence other people and change a little bit the whole destiny of Earth, he didn't feel satisfied with it. He lost his parents, his home, he wasn't there when his sister needed him, and now he had been forgotten for every single person he cared about.

Leon paid a high price for the power he obtained, but if he had the chance, he would trade everything for his old-life. His ultimate goal was revenge, and that wasn't something that the old Leon or even the current Leon could consider as a good goal. Because after having his revenge, Leon would have nothing left.
