Although his objectives were different, Leon felt like he was walking on the same path as the other harvesters. According to Ilyana, they wanted to reach the seventh stage of assimilation, where they imagined they would become gods. That was very tempting, but Leon only wanted to leave in peace with his friends even after such a long time. Truth to be told, he was tired of fighting. Although the training was interesting sometimes and here and there he would find something interesting like the profession system, he was tired of it. Leon wanted to live a normal life, even for a few years again. Because he knew that he wouldn't live for more than two decades, that was the price he had to pay for using Mana Magnetism beyond the limits of his own body and for using Temporal Alteration non-stop.
Still, despite all that, Leon was fine with it. Just ten years… he just wanted ten years of normal life, and he would be satisfied with it. Even after such a long time, Leon was still wishing to settle down, form a family, and have a kid or two… those were his goals, even though they seemed impossible, and Leon felt as if he was approaching more and more the bad ending of his life.
"I'm really pathetic," Leon sighed. "I only have a few hundreds of years' worth of memories, and I'm already tired of it. In comparison to Ilyana, I lack determination and willpower."
"You are not pathetic," Sekundez said. "You definitely are not…"
That surprised Leon. Sekundez wasn't the type of spirit who would talk when Leon doesn't start the conversations. Much less try to raise his spirits. That was strange, but Leon decided not to think too much about it.
"Thanks, since it is rare to hear nice words coming from you, this really helped me a lot," Leon smiled.
Although he had been sincere, Leon didn't hear a reply coming from Sekundez. As expected, he really lacked in his social skills. It couldn't be helped, but Leon was also already tired of thinking so often: it couldn't be helped.

To change the gears, Leon decided to check one of his replicas' progress, but then again, there wasn't much. Considering that he defeated Netro and the shadowy figure, it was only obvious that he shouldn't have expected much more, but that was really disappointing.
As for the replica that was creating items for his shop, at the very least, Leon confirmed that with the mana that he was receiving, he could keep the spells active and even obtain a bonus of fifteen hundred thousand points of mana per hour. By the look of things, maybe the humans from Earth were using the shop a bit too much, or perhaps his friends were forcing them to use. Or maybe the variety of things they could buy was just too good. In any case, things were progressing well, and that was what mattered.
