186 Chapter 185 (1/2)
”Brother… you are too much of a spartan.” Amanda said. ”It won't be more efficient if we just try to dodge as much as possible instead of wasting time doing push-ups?”
”That would usually be the case, but since I will heal you guys if I cause even a small bit of damage, we have to find another way to motivate you,” Leon explained.
”You don't have to heal us; we already used to fight while injured.” Amanda frowned. ”If you attack and damage us, I think it will motivate us more than enough to dodge the attacks.”
”Well… I guess that's true.” Leon said.
Leon began to shot Water Bullets in fast succession without giving them room to breathe. Betty and Sasha were the types of soldiers who focused on quick attacks, so at the start of the session, they had an easy time following and dodging the Water Bullets. Amanda was also very skillful in that regard since she was an archer; she had a good eye and could somewhat easily dodge the Water Bullets with a bare minimum of movement. The only one who was getting hit almost continually getting hit by the Water Bullets was Hector; his movements were too rough. Maybe it was due to his personality or due to the fact that he always fought on the frontline protecting his friends, but he wasn't good at dodging projectiles.
”Ouch! It hurts like hell!” Hector said.
Maybe Leon was trying a little hard to hit Hector, but he wouldn't admit that even if someday hell freezes over. Regardless, even though they managed to dodge the projectiles for a while, it was hard to keep that level of caution for such a long time. Eventually, Amanda, Betty, and Sasha began to get hit and even bleed, so Leon had to stop. He wanted to make his sister even stronger, but there was no point in injuring her more than the necessary. Even he didn't grow all that much overnight. The important thing was to keep improving little by little.
”I guess it's my time to dodge,” Leon said. ”Who wants to attack first?”
”I will do it! With pleasure!” Hector said.
It looked like Hector noticed that Leon punished him a little for making a move on his sister while he was away. Regardless, even though Hector already could use the bullet spell of all elements, he started by using Water Bullet too. Still, Leon easily dodged his attacks because Hector's target was obvious.
”This guy… I guess he deserves a real beating.”
Leon recalled the time in high school when he was an idiot, not an intellectual idiot, but someone, who found fun doing stupid things. When they had nothing better to do, Leon and Hector played soccer, but not usual soccer. They played to kick the ball and hit each other's balls. It was truly stupid, and Hector was trying to do that again.
Anyway, since Hector was training the four elements equally, the speed and power of his attacks weren't that awesome yet. Even when he managed to hit Leon, it only cut a part of his clothes; it didn't even leave a scratch.
”Hector… why are you only aiming at brother's lower half?” Amanda looked at Hector with cold eyes.
”Haha, don't look at me like that…” Hector forced a smile. ”It is just a joke between men… anyway, I'm out of mana. Who will be next?”
