Novel Bin 243 Chapter 242
Although Leon didn\'t want to waste time visiting another village, he had no choice. Five people couldn\'t transport the number weapons he had to give, so he ended up heading to the village. That being said, he didn\'t enter because Darya wouldn\'t be welcomed. It was a bit dangerous to give weapons to people who he didn\'t know, the possibility of them attacking him to obtain his weapons was big, but Leon some countermeasures in case that happens. Still, Leon was quite sure that the people living down there wouldn\'t do that. Besides, it was a better idea to stay on the good side of someone who could create them weapons whenever he wants.
Anyway, even though Leon didn\'t have much stamina to use specific skills like the people below the city had, it was a good idea to have a few extra tricks in case something happens or if he runs out of mana. So, Leon started training to learn some physical skills.
Leon never did something like that. He didn\'t even hear about it. But it looked like stamina could be used and manipulated like mana. The black-haired man frowned when he heard that, Leon a little more stamina than people living in the city above, so he had imagined that he could use skills like that at will. Still, like everything in Leon\'s life, to learn, he had to start with the basics. Although mana could be infused in weapons, trees, and even living beings, stamina couldn\'t. So, Leon had to practice for a few days how to manipulate his stamina. By practicing, he had to keep running non-stop for several hours while carrying a few hundred kilograms of metal. His goal was to control his stamina at certain moments to make his movements less tiresome, instead of moving and letting the stamina being consumed, and the best way to learn that was to exhaust himself. It took a while, but Leon\'s hard work paid off.
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Stamina Manipulation.

"I can\'t understand how you can move your body like that and still keep yourself conscious while breathing this damp and smelly air," Darya said while she was practicing Magma Bullet.
It looked like Darya had a hard time reading the mood, and she wasn\'t good at holding back her thoughts. She came from the place where the people created that environment, but Darya had no problems in saying that kind of thing without thinking of what the warriors nearby would think. Fortunately, Anton, the black-haired warrior, was the only one nearby. His subordinates, who worked with him, were patrolling the surroundings. Although he was quite a nice guy, he let out a long sigh after hearing that to calm his nerves.
"… Since you are a mage, I would recommend you to learn a few skills to strengthen your legs." Anton said. "Those will help in case you run out of mana and has to run away for an enemy."
It looked like Anton was looking down on all mages, but Leon ignored that and just focused on the logic behind his words. He truly only wanted to learn new ways of attacking to surprise his enemies, but since he was just learning the basics, Leon decided just to listen. It would be great and cool if he someday learns something like the OMNISLASH, but he was aware that fighting up close didn\'t suit him. A man who ignored his health and stamina for so long would only die a dog\'s death trying to fight like that.

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Steel Knee.
You obtained 01 status points.
Leon finally learned why he didn\'t learn Strong Legs until now. Unlike Strong Arms, one of the requirements to learn that skill was Stamina Manipulation. Leon also didn\'t try to do any Backflips, but he now he could. However, by using extra stamina, he could move several meters backward and dodge attacks of an enemy to some extent. As for Steel Knee, it was like the defensive stance of Muay Thai. However, Leon raised his right or left knee a little higher to protect the organs of his stomach. Using his stamina, he increased the sturdiness of his legs.
"Are you fine with only this much?" Anton asked.
"Yes, I already spent too much time learning this," Leon answered.
Anton felt like he didn\'t pay for Leon\'s weapon with just that much. Still, he couldn\'t stop Leon if he wanted to leave. Leon spent ten days to learn those, but it was enough for the time being... in fact, he was tired of not practicing his magic. He thought that learning techniques like that would be a piece of cake... he couldn\'t have been more wrong.
"If I feel like it, I will return to learn some real means of attacking," Leon said.
It looked like it would take a while before could learn Braver or Cross-Slash, a few years maybe. As for Omnislash... it would take a few decades. Although Haste increasing his training speed somewhat, it wasn\'t enough. It would take a long while before he has enough recovery or mana to keep the spell active at all times. Then he had and idea...
"I have to test if time passes at different speeds in other worlds and this world… most likely, all worlds that are part of the system are spread all across the universe… but wait a minute, if that is the case, then, there is also a chance that time passes faster in this world in comparison to Earth."
If such a thing was possible, Leon could solve the problem of time. However, there was no way to know if the time passes faster or slower in those words in comparison to Earth... in the end, it was too risky to go other worlds hoping that time would pass slowly there.
