Chapter 18
In the early morning, Leila slowly opened his eyes from the quilt, turned his head to look at the alarm clock at the bedside, and there were still a few minutes before the alarm went off, so he turned his head and closed his eyes with peace of mind to continue sleeping.
Feeling the warmth in the quilt, he gradually fell asleep again. When he opened his eyes again and looked at the alarm clock, there was still one minute left. Leila closed his eyes slowly, quietly waiting for the alarm to go off, and then turned off the alarm to prove that he had woken up. Then, with a hazy sleepiness, he wrapped the quilt more tightly.
After a long period of mental struggle between sleeping and getting up, Leila still sat up with difficulty, squinting his eyes to put on clothes. He walked to the window and opened the window. A gust of cold wind blew in. He shrank his neck, shivered, and took a deep breath of fresh air.
Walking into the bathroom, Leila turned on the faucet and felt the warm hot water. The heating facilities in this house are very complete, and there is also a fireplace. After washing up, Leila and August simply said hello and stepped out of the house.
After going out, on the road, she met a rowing uncle who got up early in the morning to work. After exchanging a few words, Leila went straight to the East Forest.
When Leila came to the place where she practiced daily and opened the barrier, the surrounding environment became illusory, as if Leila had never set foot in this place. Outside the barrier, if others came here, they would not be able to see Leila.
After a while, the barrier gradually dissipated, and Leila sat on the grass and began to study. A faint sound was heard. It was Leila reciting the text of the ritual. While memorizing, he wrote the ritual on the ground with a branch he picked up.
Finally, Leila finished writing the ritual, and the text disappeared, hidden in the space. An invisible barrier was quietly generated, like a transparent shield, covering Leila.
"Finally, the effect this time is better than ever before!" Leila showed a satisfied smile on his face. He couldn't wait to materialize the magic sword, and then began to accumulate power. He saw a huge slash like lightning, raising a puff of smoke. The smoke dissipated, but the barrier was intact.
Leila walked out of the barrier and stood outside. Everything in the barrier was natural. He nodded with satisfaction, feeling a little complacent. Then, he walked in again. In this small world that belonged to him, he could practice freely, and more importantly, materialize those imaginary things.
The morning passed by like a white horse passing by. Leila came to the stream, took out the fishing rod, and sat there leisurely fishing. These days, he often comes here to enjoy the fun of fishing and have a feast. After a while, Leila swung the fishing rod in his hand, and a big fish broke out of the water. The big fish was still struggling and tumbling. Leila swung his arm and gave it a loud big slap, and the big fish suddenly calmed down.
"Think about it, for the fish in question, how much psychological damage this one caused, woo woo woo."
Lila snapped her fingers crisply, and the super-fast chef appeared, and manifested a salamander, found some branches, and used the fire of the salamander to make a fire. After that, it was a long wait. When the delicious food was served, Leila ruthlessly dispersed the tool man.
After eating and drinking, leaning against a big tree, occasionally throwing a handful of firewood, watching the fire slowly burn, the temperature of the flame was transmitted to Leila's face, this warm and comfortable feeling made Leila want to sleep.
Leila was closing his eyes and preparing to take a nap, when a figure broke into his field of vision and blocked the fire.
Because of the previous training, Leila physically drove away the surrounding animals, so that no one dared to come to his territory. During normal rest time, Leila's barrier would not be opened. Moreover, Laxus knew he was here, and Leila did not dare to let Laxus stand outside the barrier, which would be more troublesome, and Laxus would definitely threaten Leila to open it. In general, Leila is too lazy.
"It blocked my fire, and it's not warm at all."Lila closed her eyes tightly, without any reaction, thinking to herself, I don't need to guess who it is, and I can't help but sigh silently, what bad luck, is he here to fight me again?
After hearing this, Laxus moved aside, then sat down, facing Leila.
"Huh?" Leila felt the warmth of the fire on her face again, and she felt that something was wrong with Laxus. Why was he so···He then opened his eyes and saw Laxus sitting opposite him, looking shy.
"What's wrong with you? Just say it if you have something to say." Leila stared at Laxus's shy look, feeling very uncomfortable.
"I heard from my grandfather that your Arc of Manifestation can manifest people, so I would like to ask for your help.……"
"Huh? Brother, you want me to be your sparring partner? That's impossible. Besides, manifestation consumes a lot of magic power and is very time-consuming. However……"
"But what?"
"You promise me one condition"
"OK"
"That's great, but I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you later."When Laxus agreed so readily, Leila immediately materialized and closed her eyes. Laxus was about to speak, but hesitant, not knowing what to say. At this time, Leila quickly opened her eyes again and looked at Laxus.
"Wait, who do you want to manifest?"Laila suddenly remembered that Laxus didn't seem to say who he wanted to manifest.
"Well, I can just manifest myself. I want to see my usual fighting habits."Laxus thought for a moment and answered Leila
""Okay, wait a minute." After hearing this, Leila closed her eyes and began to imagine Laxus in the battle yesterday. From time to time, she could see Laxus using his skills as an adult. He quickly shook his head to dispel these thoughts and continued to imagine the present Laxus.
After hearing what Leila said, Laxus also sat quietly by the side and waited. During this time, he saw Leila shaking her head and thought that she could not materialize. However, seeing that Leila had not opened her eyes yet, she did not speak to disturb him.
""Okay, take a look." Laxus didn't have to wait for long. Leila materialized him and then said to Laxus, looking up and motioning him to look behind him.
Laxus turned his head and looked back, and found another Laxus standing behind him. He stood up and stared at the materialized person. A strange feeling surged in his heart, as if he was looking into a mirror.
"Do you want to fight?"
"Um"
"Then come"
"Wow, you are a ruthless person who doesn't talk much. You are the worst of the world." Leila looked at the two people who had only said a few words, each of which had no more than five words, and then they started fighting.
Leila had been sparring with Laxus for the whole afternoon. Because they had the ability of dragon slayer wizards, they could both replenish their physical strength by eating thunder. Therefore, the fight between the two was basically close combat. Moreover, during the fight, they punched the lightning directly into each other's body, which was difficult to eat, so it was extremely consuming of magic power. Leila materialized four times intermittently in the middle.
Leila leisurely took out her sunglasses and put them on, then began to watch the fight. It was pure melee, and Leila wanted to materialize a ring.
However, as time passed, Leila's interest gradually waned, and she turned around and began to study her own techniques.
When the last clone dissipated, Leila looked up at the sky and found that it was a little dark, so she and Laxus suggested that they stop here today, sit down and rest for a while before going back.
"How do you feel? What have you gained?"
"Well, it's OK."
Lila snorted inwardly, why pretend to be so cool, you still fell into my hands.
After a short rest, Laxus was afraid that Makarov would come to find him. Although he told Makarov not to call him before he came out to practice, he was still cautious in order to keep Leila's secret. He waved goodbye to Leila and left.
Leila also packed up her things and went back. Before leaving, she thought that she would practice here often in the future, and the barrier would also be set up here. Should she build a house here? Well, it is necessary.
