Requests

Orison walked out of the room carrying Melanie and spoke to Leus

"Do you want to stay here for the night? It's about to be dark"

Leus shrugged it off

"Nah, It's not an issue for me"

Orison was slightly worried as he knew that Leus was more likely to bump into troublesome guys in the night, but he reassured himself

'Melisandre said he's some big magician, and he easily cured me.

He must be sure that he won't face problems'

So he didn't ask again and just nodded

"Our house is open for you anytime you like to come"

Leus smiled

"I appreciate that"

Then he turned around and was about to leave, but Melisandre stopped him.

Leus asked her

"Is there something you want?"

She was reluctant, but she mustered her courage and spoke

"Can you teach me? I want to become like you"

Orison quickly stopped her

"Melisandre, you can't put him in an uncomfortable situation like that.

He already helped us enough, and everyone knows that spells are expensive."

Leus could clearly see the disappointment on her face, But she spoke in a normal tone

"Is that so? Then I'm sorry for asking, Please never mind me.

Thank you so much again"

Leus pondered about her question

'Hmm ...'

'Arno didn't tell me anything about giving my spells to outsiders, but common sense says that I shouldn't.'

'I know that the Water spell is common ... But would she even be able to use it?'

Leus activated Advanced Mana Vision, His eyes glowed and he inspected Melisandre's body

'She's pretty weak, Hardly a Soldier.

Her mana quality is miserably low and her Mana is probably barely enough for a single spell'

Then Leus got an idea

'She just gotta start exactly how I started.'

"Do you have a pen and a piece of paper?"

"Yes- Yes just a sec"

Melisandre dashed inside the house and came back with a pen and some papers in an instant

Leus took the pen and started writing the incantation of three spells, Earth Magic Speck, Water Magic Drop, and Light Magic Flicker

'These aren't Arno's spells, they're basically mine since I got them by making a deal with Sal.

And Sal said nothing about sharing them, I can do whatever I want.

Also, all of them are extremely weak'

"These are Earth, Water, and Light spells, The spells are really weak but they'll help you train.

I can't give you strong spells for now, Not until I ask my mentor at least."

Her eyes gleamed

"Really? Thank you! Thank you so much"

'Her hair is brown, so she has an affinity for Earth, I'm not sure if she can use the other spells, but there's no harm in trying'

Leus continued

"Your goal is to be able to use the first spell, Speck, Twenty-Five times without fainting"

"What about the other two spells?"

"Try them, If you can cast them then good, If you can't then it doesn't matter"

Melisandre nodded with excitement

"After you're done, come to the Library and ask the guards about me.

If you don't know where the library is then just ask people around about the Crimson Library, you can't miss it."

Melisandre hugged Leus and said

"Thank you so much for everything! You're the best"

After a couple of seconds, Leus was able to get out of her embrace

'Whew ...'

"No problem, But no one else must get these spells, or it'd be really bad"

Leus said that with a smile, And Melisandre frantically nodded

"Oh and don't let Melanie try the spells, Magic is harmful to children"

"Of course, We know, Don't worry"

Leus looked at the cheerful girl feeling satisfied about what he did

'Yeah, Fuck the Kingdom's laws, nobody asked me about my opinion regarding creating slums and harsh environments.

I'll do as I please.'

After conversing for a couple of minutes, Leus said his goodbyes and finally left the house.

'That was a nice experience'

He left the house in a good mood

After walking for about two minutes, Leus realized two things

'First, I don't know the way back, Second, I'm not alone'

Leus turned around and activated Advanced Mana Vision

'Got you'

Leus' glowing eyes and the other person's eyes met

"Why are you hiding there, Scar?"

Scar stepped forward

"Oh well, I'm caught huh? I was just worried about the girl, you know, you're a stranger after all"

Leus crossed his hands and asked

"What do you want?"

"To make a deal"

"Not interested"

Leus turned his back and walked away

"Why not?"

"Hmm? That's not the question.

The question is, Why should I be interested?"

"I have control over the area, I can do anything here, Even if you need living targets for your training, I'm ready to provide them"

Leus froze

' ... Did he just say living targets?'

'That's far beyond the worst I thought of'

"Are you okay?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean what the hell are you offering?"

Scar was taken aback

"I didn't expect that you'd be against it, I have seen it in your eyes"

"Seen what?"

"Seen your resolve, I know a killer when I see one."

Leus looked at him with narrowed eyes but didn't say anything

"You've killed before, What's so wrong about it now?"

Leus wasn't impressed, At this point he was actually annoyed, He replied in an irritated tone

"I won't kill people unless they deserve it"

"Fine, Put some conditions and I'll bring you only those who fit"

Leus was at loss for words

It took him a couple of seconds to think of something to say

"Dude, what's wrong with you? Do you think I'm a deranged madman looking for people to execute or something? NOT INTERESTED"

Leus turned his back and walked away

Scar quickly came and stood in front of Leus

"What do you want then? Girls? Spies? A hitman? I'm ready for anything"

'Why is this idiot so persistent?'

"Scar, What is it that you want?"

"Power, What else?"
