514 Chapter 512 (2/2)
”All right, I will return in three days,” Leon said and then turned around to leave, but then stopped. ”Do you guys need help with anything? I can lend a hand if you want.”
”We don't have anything troubling us...” Yuki said. ”But, you can help train our troops if you want.”
”How?” Leon asked.
”Yes, Your Majesty,” Ren bowed, and then Yuki left.
Although it was a bit weird for her soldiers to be trained around that time, Leon knew that Yuki herself had become a battle maniac. So, it wouldn't be weird that she demands from her soldier rigorous training day in and day out. Although it wouldn't be that efficient since Earth was on the fourth stage of assimilation, it wasn't so bad... Leon had to interact with other people now and then, after all.
The training grounds in question was located where a long time ago existed a soccer stadium. It looked like the building withstand the end of the world, and Yuki decided to reform the whole place and create a place for her soldiers to train to some extent. Most people on Earth became super-humans, so they couldn't go all out in such a place.
Even from afar, Leon could feel some vibrations on the floor coming from the center of the stadium. A few minutes later, Leon and Ren found the origin of the impacts. Some soldiers were punching each other or trading blows using their weapons without moving the spot they were in.
”All right, guys,” Ren clapped his hands to get the soldiers' attention. ”Change of plans, today we will practice our parrying skills and our resistances against a mage. This is Leon. He is going to help us with that.”
Some soldiers recognized Leon while others looked at him as if he was a nuisance. Training against mages wasn't that fun for melee fighters. They couldn't attack, after all. And many felt like punching bags. Still, the number of soldiers was relatively high. It would be difficult to hit them fast enough without risking exploding their heads. Although Leon wasn't skilled enough to shoot with precision so many targets, he could easily solve that problem using his mithril helmet.
”... What is that?” Ren asked while he was observing Leon equipping the mithril helmet.
”A special helmet that will increase my accuracy,” Leon answered. ”Will you join them?”
”I will wait for Her Majesty,” Ren said.
The soldiers readied their weapons, and Leon selected the targets and also the place where he was going to hit. It was weird how such equipment could improve his skills to that extent, but he wouldn't waste time questioning about it.
Without wasting time, Leon cast Ice Punch and multiplied their numbers using Multi-Conjuration. In the blink of an eye later, the magic projectiles hit the soldiers' weapons. Some of them endured the impact while others fell back after lacking the strength to endure the attack.
