After blocking Amanda, Betty, and Sasha's attacks with Mana Armor for a few minutes, it was finally ti Leon to let them practice their dodge skills again.
"… I know that I said that I didn't want to hurt you." Amanda said. "But attacking and not causing even a scratch is very frustrating."
"You are never satisfied with anything, dear little sister." Leon shrugged. "You can't have everything, you know."
In any case, they practiced dodging projectiles for another hour. After that, they started training to block attacks. It wasn't a good idea to block too much since that kind of thing could damage their weapons and those were their lifelines in fights against monsters, but sotis sothings can't be helped. Anyway, they would try to block magic projectiles with Leon's steel weapons, so for the ti being, that much was fine.
"Be careful; if you make a wrong move, my spells will hit you guys," Leon warned them. "It won't cause critical damage, but it will hurt like hell. Well, since today is the first day, let's start the blocking training slowly too."
Leon shot Water Bullets, and since the weapons were quite heavy and thick, everyone had an easy ti not suffering damage. This ti, Hector had a very easy ti since he also had a steel shield that was similar in size to the shield of dawn.
"Heh, now we are talking," Hector smirked.
"Good, I guess you can endure the impact of sothing heavier," Leon said.
Leon shot several Earth Bullets toward Hector, once again, he didn't have any difficult blocking the projectiles, but he felt his bones trembling every ti the shield got hit. Leon's Earth Bullets could leave dent marks on a steel shield after all.
"When I said blocking, I didn't say block attacks directly," Leon said. "You can parry too, you know. Although that is not sothing you should do if you have allies nearby, you can't always count that you will have several people watching your back."
That was an unpleasant idea, but Leon was right. No one could tell the future; for the ti being, humanity was rebuildings its society, but for how long the dragons would stay quiet? No one could tell if they are planning to wipe out humanity once and for all, they definitely had the numbers to do so.
Hector heard Leon's advice and tried to parry the projectiles, it wasn't easy, but little by little he was getting the hang of it. The others also tried the sa, but it was much easier for them to parry Water Bullets, and Leon wasn't sure if they could endure even half of the impact of an Earth Bullet. Even though Leon didn't level up that spell, his other earth-related magic strengthened all earth-related attacks. So, the damage caused wasn't sothing to laugh at.
Much to Leon's surprise, it looked they weren't blocking and parrying the attacks that easily. After hours of practice, Leon saw that the skin of their hands was peeling off. Despite that, they didn't complain about it, since sothing like that happened many tis in the past.
"It is getting late, so let's resu our training today after ditating for one hour," Leon said.
"What? Already?" Hector frowned. "The training wasn't even that intense…"
"We are just getting started… if you want to, we can jump to the last stage." Leon sighed.
"What is the last stage?" Hector asked.
"Make you fight against my six steel spears," Leon answered. "I practiced with Sasha a few weeks ago, but even though I went easy and only used one spear, the impact and the weight of my weapon made her break several bones of her hand. Are you prepared for that?"
"I guess it can't be helped…" Hector showed a dispirited expression.
"Hey, Leon." Betty approached. "Can you make a copy of the Dr*g*n Sl*y*r for ?"
"… Why?" Leon frowned.
"Because I think it would be very cool to have one," Betty said. "After that, you just have to make the B*rs*rk *rm*r. Wouldn't that be aweso?"
"I don't know how to make magic items yet…" Leon sighed. "Besides, the original weapon would be too big for you. Even if you weren't so small, it wouldn't fit your fighting style."
"I'm not small!" Betty stomped on the floor.
"Yes, yes. You are not small, and I'm Leonardo DiCaprio." Leon smirked. "Now, stop complaining and begin to ditate."
Betty wanted to protest, but noticing that wouldn't lead her to anywhere, she decided to calm down and ditate. Leon had a point; it wouldn't fit her fighting style. However, she wanted sothing so cool even if she wouldn't use it in a fight. Betty made a ntal note to practice her earth magic as much as possible and then make that weapon herself.
Leon also started to ditate, but he had a hard ti doing so since Betty gave him a very good idea. Now that he healed himself and Gisela, perhaps it was ti to learn how to create magic items. So items could help them in their training and if he could replicate magic items from fantasy stories.
"This will be hard since I spent eight hours per day teaching magic to the people of this city, and I want to train with my friends at least six hours per day… No, so survivors are already progressing a lot, if I give so specific teams to so talented individuals, they can teach magic in my place. But, first. I have to select at least ten mages of each elent to do that, in order to make their job easier."
Only a couple of months have passed since he started giving those lessons, but with the exception of teaching Heal, the survivors more or less already knew what to do. They only needed so supervision… in any case, it was ti for Leon to delegate part of his job.
