Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path
135 Chapter 134

Teaching two thousand people would be a pain. Although Leon could ask for a payment, he decided to make them work to protect and rebuild the city. Before anything, he decided to divide those two thousand into four groups. Each group would work for six hours protecting the boundaries of the city or working inside to make things more convenient. After that, Leon would teach them for two hours.

Leon had a hard time organizing those people, but since they would help the city, he didn't have to do it alone. Everyone helped him, at least everyone who was living in Amanda's house. Amanda, Hector, Betty, Sasha, and even Gisela helped.

Some individuals complained when they learned that they had to work in order to live in Las Vegas and to learn magic, and so they left. But the majority decided to help; they became even eager to help after the first day of lessons. Leon managed to make every single of those two thousand survivors use Earth Manipulation.

"I'm beat..." Leon said and then sat down on Amanda's garden after the fourth lesson.

"Thanks for your hard work, master," Gisela said while she was swinging a great sword.

It was 08:00 AM; the only ones at home were Gisela, who was training, Maya, who was playing with water ball that was floating around, and Leon, who just finished the first day of the new survivors training. Checking the progress of so many survivors was tiresome, but at least it was worth the hassle. Besides, it wasn't like Leon wasn't training himself. He was making several spears flying around to increase the level of his skills and to make the survivors work hard by showing them something they could do if they try hard.

"Master, can you please create a heavier sword?" Gisela asked.

"Sure... It looks like you enjoy training with heavy weapons." Leon frowned and then started to create a heavier greatsword.

"Yes, I feel alive like never before after training until I barely can move my arms," Gisela said.

Leon could understand that feeling; it was the feeling of accomplishment after surpassing one's limits. However, only physical training wasn't enough. Gisela also needed combat experience. Leon had planned to train her in that regard, fighting against someone more powerful would make her skills level up faster. But now that she couldn't see, that was impossible. It was also dangerous for her to train magic alone, so she would only do it when Leon was around.

When Leon finished the greatsword, he frowned at the weight, he barely could swing it, but Gisela could. She had already surpassed him in terms of raw strength, but that was only obvious since Gisela was increasing only her health, strength, speed, and endurance.

"I guess she more or less has the strength of a rank B soldier... she just needs combat experience."

Leon wondered if Gisela would accept his help if he offers it, she wanted the power to return home by herself. But obtaining the strength to cross the oceans while defeating megalodons was even harder than learning magic to defeat them. Regardless, that topic was out of the question since Gisela couldn't return home even if she wanted. Without her sight, she wouldn't be able to give directions. So, instead of worrying about that, Leon returned to his practice.

Despite the fact that a few demons appeared here and there, things were going well in Las Vegas. Thanks to the Angelic Bow in Amanda's hands, Leon didn't even have to fight. Unfortunately, he would have to return the bow. However, he was wondering if it would be fine to give one of the rings to the Russians. They were far more useful than the bow, but Leon would only do that after he learns telekinesis and gravity himself.

"Maybe I should pay them instead of giving items..."

It would be great if they accept it, but since the bow was kept in a holy place, the chances of that happening were relatively small. Maybe instead of that, Leon could create some weapons for them steel arrows and bows were quite powerful, after all. However, that could only be decided once he talks with them.

Now that Hector, Amanda, and Sasha had a lot of subordinates, they saw themselves with a lot of free time. Since they weren't the type to waste good chances, they decided to learn magic from Leon during the afternoons. Betty wasn't on the same level, but she also joined them. Thanks to that, Hector and Sasha, who were struggling with the process of learning the first spells, progressed a lot and finally learned Earth Bullet.

"Hehe, this is so cool," Hector smirked. "I never thought that being able to attack from far away without using my spear could be so cool."

"Earth Bullets belongs to the weakest class of attack," Leon explained. " It doesn't have enough piercing power, but I guess it can be useful to knock down human opponents. However, with your current level of intelligence, you won't even be able to annoy a Desert Wolf. You have to meditate more."

"But that is so boring..." Hector looked away.

"Working out isn't fun either, but the results are important and motivating," Leon said. "You will grow stronger if you train and fight; the same applies to magic."

Aside from Hector, no one complained, so Leon never got tired of helping his friends. Although Gisela couldn't practice new spells, she used the afternoons to meditate since she couldn't swing the whole day a sword which was heavier than herself. The greatsword weighed eighty kilograms and had the size of a male adult. It was so impressive that with each swing, Gisela made anyone nearby feel a powerful wave of wind.
