Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path
185 Chapter 184

After that crazy idea, Leon decided to put how to control time on the list of crazy things he wanted to learn using mana. It was one hell of a big goal, but it was better to have big goals to keep himself motivated. Although Leon wanted to rest, he moved to the place where he would train the survivors after having breakfast with his friends. Gisela was yet to wake up, but by her semblance, it looked like she would wake up very soon.

Just as Leon had expected, Gisela woke up in the early afternoon, and everyone looked pretty happy for her. The use of the skill was a success because Gisela could even cry again, and that was the first thing she did when Leon returned.

"Master! Thank you very much!" Gisela smiled while she let her tears flow.

"I presume there is nothing wrong with your eyesight, Am I right?" Leon asked.

"Yes!" Gisela said.

"Good; for the time being, you should rest and pick a weapon to use," Leon said. "Our training sessions start today after dinner."

Just as Leon said, after dinner, they reunited themselves at the training ground. However, since someone would have to look after Maya while she sleeps and in case something happens to the city, that day, Gisela and Lennart stayed behind.

"Ugh, I feel sick." Betty moaned while she made an expression of discomfort.

"The meat was good… but only eating meat is a bit…" Hector looked as if he was about to throw up.

Congratulations! Your Endurance increased by 1 point.

Congratulations! Your Mana increased by 1 point.

Congratulations! Your Mana increased by 1 point.

While everyone had a hard time eating a single dragon heart, Leon ate three of them. However, he was also feeling sick, but a few minutes of exercising should help with that.

"So, Leon… how are you going to do this?" Sasha asked.

"I don't have anything special in mind, let's just focus on the basics and spar now and then," Leon explained. "Moving around with the stomach full won't be easy. So, let's start doing some strength training."

Even Amanda had more strength than Leon, so he lacked a bit in that aspect. In any case, just pulling weight wouldn't help them, Leon and the others needed to gain strength while also training with their weapons. So, Leon created a copy of everyone's weapons made of steel but a lot heavier.

"This is… heavy…" Amanda's face was red while carrying a big steel bow on her hands and a quiver filled with steel arrows on her back.

"Try to move a little while trying to emulate your usual patterns of attacks," Leon said.

Leon postponed until now, but it was time to regenerate his right leg. Although he used steel spears to attack most of the time, he would train to use swords and other weapons since he had them, and to do that; he would need his other leg. While everyone was busy trying to adjust themselves with the weight of their training weapons, Leon regenerated his leg. He regretted doing that while his stomach was still full, but once he confirmed that his leg was back and totally fine, Leon felt like the suffering had been worth it.

Although Leon had two swords, he wasn't skillful in any way to use both of them at the same time. So, Leon just created a copy of his katana and made it heavier. Still, swinging around a weapon like that wouldn't let him learn anything, it was better to learn how to use it by learning from someone or by fighting properly.

"Well, there isn't anyone here who uses a katana, and right now, everyone is practicing by themselves to increase their strength and endurance… So, I guess I should just practice a few simple swings."

Leon's weapons helped his friends more than he thought, it was part of their routine to do some strength training, but now that they had superhuman strength, it was hard to replace new ways to push their muscles to the limit. But with those weapons, reaching their limits wasn't difficult. In just one hour, even Hector and Betty, who had a lot of stamina, couldn't move their arms anymore.

"This is kind of refreshing," Hector said, covered in sweat, but smiling. "Can you make an even heavier lance?"

"I can… but we are not going to do strength training for hours." Leon answered. "It is not good to be a jack of all trades, but I don't think you can solve everything with physical strength or magic powers alone. We will train both here, while also training to dodge attacks and projectiles as much as possible. Speaking of which, we will train now our reaction time and evasive maneuvers."

"I'm more like a blocking type so that I will pass on that training," Hector said.

"Can you block a meteor?" Leon asked.

"… Do you think we will face enemies who can summon meteors to attack us?" Hector frowned.

"I don't know, just like any of us didn't know that someday our civilization would be destroyed by dragons," Leon said.

"Geez… you are really pessimistic, aren't you?" Hector asked.

"Perhaps, but it's better to be safe than sorry," Leon answered. "We will eventually train our skills to block attacks and projectiles. So, just focus on covering all your bases."

Leon decided to start things safely. First, he put his friends in front of him and kept them at a safe distance from each other. He would use Water Bullet to attack; by doing so, Leon would also level up his skills while training his friends, but then he had an idea.

"To make things interesting, let's add some punishment for those who get hit," Leon smirked. "If you get hit, you will have to do fifty push-ups with your steel weapon on your back."
