Before Leon could notice, his life had become that… a life filled with light blue screens. Since his replica was doing a good job assimilating the memories of the shadowy bastard, every time he received his memories, blue screens would pop out endlessly. To make matters worse, those screens would only disappear once Leon learns the entire content. After Leon reads all the blue screens, it was time to reaccess his replica memories… and the whole process would repeat itself.

"Now I understand why Ilyana is silent most of the time," Leon nodded to himself. "In the end, status points are more than welcome, but unfortunately, this isn't a job that I can outsource."

Although it was troublesome, it was something that Leon could solve quite easily… he just had to delete the memories of him receiving those notifications. That solved the problem of his mental tiredness, but now Leon felt like his days only had one or two hours.

"Well, whatever," Leon shrugged. "This is something I have to endure until I deal with the bastards that are watching Earth. Besides, it is much better getting stronger at this speed than worrying about of increasing the efficiency of my training."

That being said, Leon eventually had to stop his training because it was time to receive the word from his friends. It was time to see those who deserved the power of the spirits, and the better moment to do that was when the candidates were sleeping.

After using Telepathy and talking with his friends, Leon received a list of one hundred fifty-five people who Hector, Lennart, and Ren believe that they were trustworthy, and that was just the first list… In the end, to save time, Leon summoned three replicas and made them head to Earth. He had to postpone his training in order to have enough mana to maintain three replicas, but it couldn't be helped.

Considering that his replicas also had to use mana to access the candidates' memories, things didn't get easier for Leon. Fortunately, his replicas finished the job in a single morning. They didn't find any weird or suspicious memory among that group. They also didn't find signs that their memories had been altered.

"I guess after fighting for so long, the chances of them having spies near them is quite low…" Leon rubbed his chin. "Still, I can't lower my guard."

Time was of the essence, so after his replicas returned, Leon himself went to Earth and gave a part of the spirit's power to those 155 people. Using so much mana without leveling up a single skill was kind of annoying, but it was all for the future of the human race. It certainly wasn't a waste of time.

"You sure like to waste time with useless actions," Ilyana said as soon as Leon returned.

"My actions are useless… are you speaking by experience?" Leon asked.

"Yes," Ilyana nodded.

Receiving such an honest answer was quite troubling, but in the end, giving the power of the spirits to some humans was the only thing he could do without risking exposing himself and Ilyana. According to her, just focusing on himself would make things easier, and Leon was more or less aware that was the case. If he just focuses on himself and obtains absolute power to protect Earth, then it was fine. However, if Leon fails and everyone dies? That kind of worry didn't leave Leon's head. So, in case that happens, the best thing he could do was to give them the power to try to protect themselves. At the very least, if he fails and they die, Leon would be able to think that he did his very best.

Regardless, Leon sighed in relief because that kind of way of thinking showed that he was still a human and didn't become a power-hungry monster. For the good or for the worst, he was still a human full of flaws…

Before Leon could feel proud of that, he resumed his training. For the time being, he had no choice but to rely on Mana Magnetism while increasing its range, but little by little Temporal Variation was becoming more powerful. At the max level, Leon would be able to make use of recovery every six seconds… he also would get old one hundred times faster, but it couldn't be helped. Suddenly, Leon's stomach growled, and he found another flaw of that spell.

"I suppose it can't be helped," Leon shrugged.

It wasn't much of a balanced meal, but Leon could always eat blue angel leaves. Then he had an idea, hunt dragons just to eat their meat. Considering their sizes, just one should be enough to fill Leon's belly for a year, but now considering the effects of Temporal Variation, Leon doubted that those would last even a month.
