"WHAT !? Leon you started kidnapping women ?" Elaine asked with a shocked expression.
"No... I haven’t kidnapped her. She is here on her own will. Tell them." Leon replied with a serious expression as he looked at Emilia.
"Yeah... I am here because I want to be here. He didn’t kidnapped me. Wait... Did he kidnapped you ?" Emilia asked with a confused expression.
"Okay... I will leave you guys to your talk for now, Emilia will explain everything. Elis, take us to the fifteenth floor." Leon spoke as he immediately walked away.
"Yes, Master." Elis spoke as she raised her hand and both of them disappeared immediately.
"Hey, sorry about squeezing your boobs. I just did it to see your reaction and your reaction was really... Noble like." Selene spoke as she looked at Selene.
"You could’ve asked me that." Emilia replied with a neutral expression.
"I am sorry for my daughter’s behaviour. Please take a seat." Elaine spoke as she guided Emilia to the beds.
Leon and Elis appeared on the floor and almost immediately all the torches mounted on the walls came to life as soon as they appeared inside the room.
"So, Elis... What else you have that you need to show me ?" Leon asked with a smile.
"Master... Try to attack me, physically." Elis spoke with a smile as she looked at Leon.
"I can’t touch you. Won’t my attacks just go through your body ?" Leon asked with a confused expression.
"No master... After the last evolution, I can now materialize my mana and touch physical things." Elis replied with a smile.
’Hmm... If she can do so many things only at rank-d, I wonder what she will be capable of doing once she reaches A or S-rank.’ Leon thought as he slowly walked upto her and made his fist into a punch.
Leon loosely threw the punch in her direction but before the punch could’ve touched her... Elis grabbed Leon’s hand and tapped on his wrist in a weird pattern.
"What the fuck !?" Leon spoke with a confused expression as his hand relaxed all of a sudden and he couldn’t feel it anymore.
"What did you do to my hand, Elis ?" Leon asked with a confused but calm expression as he looked at her.
"I-I am sorry, Master. M-My body just did that on it’s own... I-I will immediately fix it." Elis spoke with a worried expression as she immediately touched Leon’s wrist and it started moving once again.
"Was that acupuncture ?" Leon asked with a confused expression as he started swinging his hand to test if it’s moving fine or not.
"I-I just saw so many mana lines inside your body master and as soon as I touched your wrist... I blocked the mana flow in your hand.
But, I really don’t know why your hand stopped moving, Master. I-I am very very sorry master. Please forgive me." Elis apologized with a worried expression as she immediately went down on both of her knees and did a very respectful bow.
"Because mana flows in everyone’s blood... If you blocked my mana that means you blocked my nerves as well and if blood doesn’t get to my fingers... I won’t be able to use them." Leon replied with a smile as an idea came to his mind.
’That’s a very useful skill... I can use it in hand-to-hand combat against living beings. If I activate it with glitch point... I will be able to locate the acupuncture points of my enemy easily.’ Leon thought as he looked at his hand.
"Stand up Elis... Tell me, what else can you do in combat ?" Leon asked with a smile.
"In combat ? I also have a very sharp memory now, Master. I can remember your fighting style and counter it while fighting you." Elis replied as she looked at Leon.
"Really ? Show me." Leon spoke as he took a step back.
Elis also took a step back and opened both of her arms, attaining a weird stance.
"Are you ready ?" Leon asked with a confused expression.
"Yes, Master. You can start attacking me anytime you want." Elis spoke as she looked at Leon.
"Okay. Just remember... I won’t be coming slow like before." Leon replied as he immediately walked forward and threw a sharp punch into Elis’ stomach.
The punch hitted her and she immediately fell down to the ground.
"Shit... are you alright, Elis ? Does it hurts ?" Leon asked as he immediately walked upto her.
"Oh... No master, I can’t feel anything. I can touch things around me with the thick layer of mana around my body, but I can’t feel anything." Elis replied with a neutral expression.
’Ah... Right, I forgot that her body is just made out of mana.’ Leon thought with a neutral expression.
"Again master. Hit me again." Elis spoke as she looked at Leon.
"Okay... But, why you aren’t dodging my attacks ?" Leon replied with a neutral expression as he looked at Elis.
"I don’t have to master... I have to see your attacking pattern then I will learn to dodge them and counter-attack." Elis explained with a neutral expression.
’Ah... That’s a nice skill. I will make that as well, it will help me figure out the fighting patterns of an enemy in hand-to-hand combat.’ Leon thought with a neutral expression.
He then walked upto Elis once again, made his fist into a punch and aimed for her stomach, but this time before he could’ve touched her... Elis turned exactly ninety degrees to the left side and dodged the move.
Not only did she dodged the punch, but raised her hand, made it into a fist and tried to land a punch in Leon’s back.
But before the punch could’ve landed, Leon felt it coming because of the passive skill that got activated automatically.
Leon immediately rolled down to the other side and dodged the attack.
’Okay... She learned, dodged and countered. It’s like I am training a robot to fight and the more she learns... The more it will help me get better in combat.’ Leon thought as he removed his coat and dropped it down on the floor.
He then folded his sleeves and removed his boots.
"Well... Let’s get serious, Elis." Leon spoke with a smile as he rolled his sleeves.
"As you command, Master." Elis spoke as she changed her stance this time.
*Step-step-step-step-step*
Leon ran towards her with full speed and threw a punch into her stomach again.
Elis turned to the left side once again dodging the attack once again, but Leon immediately opened his hand and grabbed her leg.
He turned around and made her fall onto the ground.
Elis immediately stood up once again and took a different stance this time.
Leon ran towards her threw the punch once again, Elis turned to the side but this time as soon as he grabbed her leg... Elis grabbed Leon’s hand and pressed it down with full force, breaking the grip at once.

Leon immediately jumped back and looked at Elis with a smile.
’That was an impressive way to break my grip over her leg.’ Leon thought as he started running towards her once again, but this time instead of punching... He raised his leg in order to land a kick on her left shoulder.
But, Elis immediately raised her hand in a ’V’ shape and soaked most of his kick’s force with her wrist.
But she didn’t stop there... using her right hand, she immediately grabbed Leon’s leg and spinned his whole body mid-air.
Leon immediately fell down on the floor, but he didn’t waste another second in standing up and turning towards Elis with a serious expression this time.
’She is a fast learner. I haven’t even performed that much attacks and she already knows how to block them and counter.’ Leon thought in his mind but before he could’ve thought of something else, his eyes widened in shock as he looked at Elis.
Elis turned to the right and raised her left hand towards Leon. Her stance was very similar to a kung-fu fighter.
’She is changing her stance everytime after observing my stance. It’s like she can see all the openings I have and what attack I am going to perform.’ Leon thought as he immediately started running towards Elis.
"Dodge this..." Leon spoke as he threw a punch at her face.
Elis immediately turned her face to the side in order to dodge it but Leon immediately kicked her in the right leg and she went off-balance.
He didn’t stop there... As soon as she lost her balance, Leon raised both of his hands up in the air brought it down upon her.
Elis hitted the ground with a loud thud, but without wasting another second... She immediately grabbed Leon’s leg and tried to imbalance him.
But Leon grabbed her hand and pushed it down with full force breaking her grip immediately.
He jumped back and looked at her with a smile.
"I can also learn from you, Darling."
