When Leon returned, he was received by Ilyana's piercing gaze. He frowned because she clearly was in a bad mood, and that was a first. Usually, he wanted to joke about such a thing, but he decided not to do it.
"You seem to be in a bad mood," Leon said.
"Yes, I told you that you shouldn't spoil your friends too much," Ilyana said. "Giving them power just because they act the way you want won't help you or any of them."
"In my position, would have done something differently?" Leon asked.
"No," Ilyana answered.
"So... why do you look so upset?" Leon frowned.
"Because I did the same thing you did, and that didn't help the people of my world," Ilyana explained.
Now Leon finally understood why Ilyana was upset... He did the same thing that Ilyana did in the past, and it looked like that didn't help the people of her planet. There was even a chance that she considered that such action caused the downfall of her race... considering that hypothesis, it wasn't that surprising that she was irritated.
"I won't tell you how you should act or what you should do," Ilyana said. "I'm just trying to prevent that you suffer and see the same things that I saw."
"Thank you for your concern," Leon said. "I will be more careful frown now on... Putting that aside, I would like to learn how to create a slime since my control is already high enough."
"All right, I will give you the tome after leveling up your resistance a bit," Ilyana said.
"Instead of that, I would like just to hear the theory, and then I will replicate the process myself," Leon said.
Ilyana looked away and sighed, it looked like Leon's lack of trust, and his behavior was already starting to annoy her. The future of their partnership looked quite uncertain since they only see each other once every week, and things were already getting complicated.

"I feel like crap more than usual... it looks like this time Ilyana let her annoyance control her a little bit, and she decided to punish me... even though she said that she wouldn't tell me how to act. What is the point of saying that if she decides to punish me on my resistance training?"
"You should be thankful for her. If it weren't for her, you would be making a mistake after mistake," Celsius said, and Leon imagined her making an angry expression like usual. " It is really disgraceful to give powers to your friends just like that."
"I agree, Leon," Volt said. "Those who don't venture in other worlds and search for power don't deserve our blessings."
"... I will keep that in mind,��� Leon sighed. "Once they accomplish something, I won't ask any of you to give your powers again."
Leon felt like he was back in high school, where he heard complaints from his father every day about his behavior and choices. Although it was a bit annoying, he missed them since it was clear that Leon wasn't good at making decisions. He was too naive, and most of the time, he would choose the most obvious option, and then he would wait for the best outcome.
Regardless, at least one thing Leon was sure that he would never regret doing, and that was training. Although Ilyana looked pretty irritated, she explained to him how he should create a slime using mana.
"Let's see... create a mass of water in a random shape and then create the core of the monster by concentrating exactly nine hundred mana points in its center. How did she discover such an exact number? Anyway... I also have to add instincts to the creature... How do I do that again? Just by emulating hunger? I'm already hungry, so it should be easy."
"It impresses me that you managed to become the best mage of your planet," Celsius said.
Leon was also impressed, but he would never reveal that. Regardless, it took him three days to do everything correctly and fast enough, but Leon eventually learned the skill and created the first slime.
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Summon Slime.

"Wow... so weak, and the cost of mana is insane!" Leon said, shocked.
"I'm honestly surprised at your reaction, Leon," Undine said without her usual mocking tone. "What did you expect? It is a level one slime. "
"Yeah... I guess you are right," Leon nodded. "The cost is high because the creature can level up and become much stronger... Anyway, can I use their attacks to strengthen you guys?"
"Unfortunately, that is not possible," Volt said. "We can materialize using your mana, and since the slimes are made of your mana, such effects aren't possible."
Leon nodded since it made a lot of sense. Still, it was surprising that the name of the skill was Summon Slime instead of something like Slime Creation. The active spells were also different from Leon recalled, but it was based on his own spells, so it was only obvious. Perhaps he actually copied a random slime of his memories and then just summoned it using his mana. That would be a more plausible explanation.
