169: Chapter 98 “Magic Power Training”_2 169: Chapter 98 “Magic Power Training”_2 Olivia felt some regret in her heart, now deeply feeling that the training method Miss Mage employed for Leon was too dangerous.
In the afternoon, she had already sensed something was off with Leon, but she couldn’t win against his insistence, and since he remained silent behind his visor, she thought that mysterious “card magic” could ensure her friend’s safety.
Now it seemed, Leon’s crazy exertion of pushing his body to continuously overdraw on physical strength would have killed anyone who lacked Kovis’s healing, even if they had several lives to spare.
the first time, I wanted to see what my…
Leon spoke in fits and starts as if uttering these few words took all his strength.
“Alright, alright, don’t talk, just rest.
Being this tired, I bet you won’t be able to get out of bed for the next few days,” Olivia said helplessly.
Leon had no choice but to obediently close his mouth.
“And another thing, you can’t train to this extent again.
If you do this next time, I won’t help you,” the girl reminded, still worried.
Faced with his companion’s concern, Leon felt a deep warmth in his heart and obediently nodded.
Where else would he find such a caring Sword Saint to spar with him every day and put up with his antics?
Although after activating the “Boiling Heart,” he could rely on running, lifting weights, and other muscle exercises to expend energy.
But ordinary people rarely had the chance to experience this sensation of martial arts several times above their regular level—the abundant extra strength and agility should not go to waste if not used for comprehensive combat and martial arts improvement, to enhance his personal understanding and recognition of martial arts…
Turning his head, he looked over at Kovis who was carefully and gently helping him remove the armor.
The blond youth hadn’t directly participated in the sparring, but after three consecutive cycles of magic power circulation, Kovis’s complexion was pale, showing he too was thoroughly exhausted.
Seeing Leon’s apologetic gaze, Kovis smiled wryly at his Lord, “Miss Olivia is right, my Lord.
Training in such a life-depleting manner, I suggest you only do one or two cycles each time and measure your strength accordingly.
Besides, it’s not just about your body’s capacity; my magic power will need several days to recover after depletion.
We also need to preserve enough energy for the Griffin Egg…”
Leon nodded again, his body and mind still in too much pain to speak.
He definitely wouldn’t dare to torment himself like that again.
Lying on the ground, allowing his two companions to help him take off the layers of extra weighting armor, Leon felt his body and mind lighten slightly.
Seeing Kovis and Olivia wanting to carry him back to his room to rest, Leon painfully raised his hand to wave them off, “It’s fine…I’m not immobile…just help me up.”
He knew his body was not seriously harmed, with Kovis’s healing spells, the small physical issues from the training had already been healed.
His current weakness was more a psychological impact than a physical one.
Assisted by the support of the two, Leon bore the mental pain and was helped back to his room.
But just when he rested for a short while, he felt an unbearable hunger in his stomach.
Luckily, it was mealtime, and Aunt Milia and Miss Elena in the kitchen had prepared dinner for everyone.
That night, Leon found that his stomach seemed to have a Taotie living inside it.
As he ate, he found it harder and harder to stop.
The usual amount of food that would satisfy him didn’t come close to filling his stomach.
The two cooks from the kitchen had to busily prepare extra food for the Lord.
Thus, under the astonished eyes of everyone at home, Leon ate more than ten times his usual amount of food before he reluctantly put down the cleanly gnawed lamb bone, looking down at his flat belly.
He felt he could still eat.
But he didn’t know where all the food he had swallowed had gone.
When he asked Kovis, even the knowledgeable young man didn’t understand what was happening.
Fortunately, being able to eat and sleep wasn’t a problem; Leon simply took it as a side effect of the day’s “Magic Perception” training.
Leon, who had recovered from the exhaustion of his first intensive training the previous day, opened his eyes to the knocking on his bedroom door.
This was the time he had requested Lena and the others to wake him up every day.
Sitting up and yawning, he was surprised to find that he couldn’t feel any pain or fatigue in his body.
The injuries he had suffered didn’t seem as severe as Olivia had worried about.
Rolling out of bed, he instinctively scratched his head…feeling something was off about his body.
“Leon brother~ The hot water is ready, may I come in?” Little Lina asked from outside.
“Oh, come in, I’m up,” Leon replied, turning his head.
The little maid immediately pushed the door open.
Before she could set down the wooden basin she was carrying, she saw Leon in his pajamas and almost dropped the hot water in shock.
“Ah—!!!” Lina stared at the person in the room, exclaiming, “You you you!…
Leon looked at his little maid, puzzled, “What’s wrong?
What do you mean ‘who am I’?”
Hearing the still familiar voice, Lina slowly calmed her shock.
Blinking, the girl tilted her head left and right to examine her master, who seemed both familiar and strange, and asked, “Are you…
Leon was puzzled by her behavior, unsure if the little one hadn’t woken up properly, or he hadn’t.
“Brother Leon, what’s with…” Lina, recognizing the familiar features of his face, swallowed and continued, “Your hair!
And what happened to your eyes?”
