Although Leon was still confused at Ilyana's behavior, he couldn't stop his training. Somehow, he really managed to learn the spell… that being said. Mastering a skill like that left him with a terrible headache. He just received ten thousand hours of training in a single instant, after all.
"I guess I should also make my replica erase some of the memories of the training," Leon concluded. "Now, I have to see how this skill will improve by leveling up… in any case, I wonder when she will return. I need to ask her a few more questions and… apologize? I guess most women would feel insulted if someone declares them as lustful."
"Well, well… looks like Leon didn't become a robot yet," Undine said. "You still have small portions of sensibility."
Leon could only nod at it. He was a pretty insensible fellow, he was fully aware of it, and it was because of that, that he needed to ask his spirits a few questions, even though he was pretty sure he would regret it.
"What do you guys think of Ilyana's behavior?" Leon asked. "I'm talking with you, Sekundez, Undine, and Celsius."
"Don't involve us with your personal problems," Celsius said.
"Although I'm quite old, I don't have much experience with the behavior of beings like you and Ilyana," Sekundez said.
"Well, even though Ilyana is doing some jobs here and there, she shouldn't talk with many people, even fewer males since they would cower at the presence of a powerful woman," Undine said. "Although you are boring like a tree, it wouldn't be weird if Ilyana develops some feelings for you, given that you are the only male presence in her daily life?"
"Feelings? For me?" Leon laughed. "Nah… as if! Don't put such thoughts inside my head, Undine. Begone, Mara, Amen."
As if someone would feel attracted to a man who was some sort of cosmic disease that prevents him from unsheathing the holy sword. Then again, perhaps Undine wasn't just joking around like usual. That being said, considering that made Leon feel a headache. He was probably reaching the end of his journey, and here was he wondering if someone loved him or not. He was literally too old for that.
"I guess I will erase those thoughts from my head," Leon shrugged.
"Even if you do it, I will keep raising that flag again and again since you can't delete our memories," Undine declared.
Leon sighed… it looked like he couldn't even erase such thoughts from his head anymore. Although he couldn't do choose the easy way out, Leon still could overload his head with memories of his training and then naturally forget about it.
"Don't you think that will be so easy…" Undine smirked.
Leon was massaging his eyebrows while he was thinking of a way to keep his thoughts in a space where his spirits couldn't listen to them. However, he had no idea how to do it. In the end, Leon just shrugged at it and resumed his training.

"Mmm? Now that I think about it… I can create more than one space inside my head?" Leon frowned once he realized that he had two replicas and two mindscapes inside his head. "Geez… I'm so slow."
It had been quite a while since Leon checked his other replica's progress, but as usual, he didn't learn anything particularly useful or any information about conceptual attacks. Leon shouldn't worry, but he knew that the earlier he learns, the more time he will have to customize his own conceptual attacks. Netro lacked creativity, and thanks to that, he didn't manage to kill Leon and even died due to its own attack. Leon had to learn from his mistakes.

"I can't understand why a dragon would have the skill: Wolf's Stance…" Leon muttered. "Well, perhaps, Netro tried to get strong following different paths."
Leon was beginning to regret accessing the memories of those two assholes in chronological order. It would be less efficient, but by searching for their most powerful skills, Leon would have saved a lot of time. It was too late to change his plans now since that would mess up with his training rhythm, but Leon learned his lesson. Next time, he would look for the strongest skills of his opponents before anything else.
Eventually, the mana from the soul eater had been completely used, but Leon couldn't sense any sign of Ilyana's presence. She didn't look that mad before. Leon felt as if she was more embarrassed than anything. Still, Leon couldn't take any chances. The curse that was put on the holy sword was only a small part of the problem, but even after living for hundreds of years, Leon couldn't understand women. So, he checked the situation with his friends and confirmed that Ilyana hadn't harmed them.
"Well… at least I confirmed that she isn't that crazy," Leon shrugged.
