Chapter 38: The Lurks
"I’ve been meaning to ask," Leo mentioned, joining Raiden for their training session as they stretched and worked on conditioning their bodies.
"How is Ash? Did she grant you the invisibility power?"
Raiden barely looked his way, completely focused on strengthening his ribs and managing the pain. He’d gained some strength in the past two days and was determined to build on it.
"No, she’s still unconscious."
Leo paused. "Where did you get it from then?"
Raiden stopped and shot him a lazy look. It should have been obvious, given that Levi was his slave and could turn invisible, but Leo’s expression said it all. Somehow, it wasn’t obvious to him. He of all people.
"What do you mean?" Raiden asked, trying to read him.
Leo’s expression darkened. "I’ve been thinking about it, and I can’t wrap my head around it."
Raiden shifted his gaze away and went back to his strengthening routine.
"Did you somehow manipulate your mana to do that? It’s the only thing that makes sense—people in the 5th realm can naturally produce elemental magic once they have the right training and understanding."
He joined Raiden in training. "Even still, you’re in the 8th realm, and that’s practically impossible, even for you."
