"Considering what you said, I can imagine that you don"t know any Area of Effects spells," Lennart said.

"That"s right… but how did you notice that?" Leon asked.

"Because you didn"t use such type of skill against my friends and me," Lennart explained. "Nor did you, when you invaded Moscow. To learn an Area of Effect spell without a tome, you have to have pretty good control over your mana."

"Is that so?" Leon asked.

"Yes, since most of those spells last for a while, to learn them, you have to keep sending your mana to the phenomena you created," Lennart explained. "To learn the spell Freezing Mist, I have to create the mist that could freeze most things and keep it activated for ten seconds."

That didn"t sound like something easy to do, but that gave Leon a hint. Regeneration was probably an area of effect spell, so, to learn the spell, he would have to keep healing several wounds at the same time for at least ten seconds. If he could obtain the stronger version of it, he would be able to regenerate his limbs and Gisela"s eyes.

"Thank you for the explanation; I will make sure to put that knowledge in good use," Leon said.

"It"s fine to train and all, but make sure to pay attention where you make this thing fly," Yuki said.

Now that Yuki said that, slowly but surely, Leon noticed that they were losing alt.i.tude. Dozen of monsters were chasing them behind, even flying monsters, so things could become dangerous if they approach the ground too much. Leon wasn"t good at multi-tasking, but he had to try anyway. Looking at Leon scratching himself and soon making the scratches disappear, Yuki frowned.

"It looks like you already discovered how to heal wounds... to some extent," Yuki said. "Do you plan to teach me, as you promised?"

" I didn"t master yet, but I guess it"s fine," Leon said. "Since you already used to this kind of meticulous work, you will probably learn faster than me."

"Do you want to let me hear that?" Lennart asked.

"It"s fine; you just gave me some good tips," Leon said. "Besides, the more people know how to heal wounds, the better. By the way… do you only know Area of Effect spells?"

"I have some difficulty learning spells that can only hit a single enemy," Lennart answered. "But I"m fine with that, instead of hitting one enemy at a time, I would rather kill or damage several of them before they approach my allies."

"I guess your logic is sound… it also looks like everyone has things they are good and things they are bad when it comes to magic…" Leon nodded.

"It looks like you are serious about regenerating your limbs…" Lennart said. "I know that magic can do pretty much anything, but I"m having a hard time that such a thing is possible."

"Yeah, I"m serious… because this isn"t just for me, this is also for your sister." Leon said.

"… What do you mean by that?" Lennart frowned.

"I decided to let you see for yourself… but now that I think about it, that isn"t a good idea." Leon said. "Your sister suffered a lot in the past four years, so your reunion should be a happy one. Make sure to feel anger and sadness as you want right now, for your sister"s sake…"

Lennart was just a kid, but he had the right to know what happened to his sister, so Leon told him everything. As expected, he got incredibly mad, but then when he discovered that those who caused his sister"s suffering already died, he didn"t know where to focus his anger. Leon reminded the moment when he saw Hector, and he told him everything. He acted in the same way, but Lennart didn"t blame Leon… or perhaps he was waiting to hear his sister"s story by her own mouth to reach his own conclusions.

"I originally planned to learn how to heal destroyed body parts fo her sake���" Leon said. "But, I guess I need such skill as much as her."

"I see… thank you for looking after my sister." Lennart said. "If you need help in some way to learn that skill, I will help you to the best of my ability. You need to learn that skill as fast as possible, not only for your or my sister"s sake."

"What do you mean by that?" Leon frowned.

"You are powerful, but if you want to make the Indians and Chineses allies, you will have to show such a skill to convince them without using brute force," Lennart explained. " Sorry, to say this, but… they won"t take seriously a man who"s missing an arm and a leg."

"I imagined that…" Leon rubbed his chin. "By the way, how do the Russians plan to defend their territory?"

"They won"t, they don"t have the manpower to protect all their dungeons," Lennart explained. "So they will leave those to India and China. They didn"t say that openly, but they are hoping that you help them to solve that situation by negotiating with them."

"I"m not an amba.s.sador of the Allied Forces of North-America…" Leon frowned. "But I guess I will do what I can. I won"t lose anything by trying to become their allies. It will be better if we use our time to strengthen our forces rather than fighting against ourselves for resources. That being said… sparring is also a good way to train…"

The number of things Leon had to do increased, but for some reason, he didn"t feel burdened; he only felt the sense of trust that many people had on him.
