"Well, everything will happen once I manage to scratch this damn rock," Leon said, annoyed.

Currently, Leon was facing the rock with his arms crossed. Make his mana destroyed the rock was easy. Make his mana destroy the rock without activating a single spell wasn't. In the end, Leon even tried his replica to learn the trick of that technique. However, even though his replica had five years' worth of time to do so, he failed. Leon began to wonder if his replica was dumb or something, but given that the replica always tried the most obvious things, just like Leon, the problem was himself.

"In the end, I have to try something unexpected, I guess," Leon muttered. "In any case, I should try with something basic and simple. The Water Bullet will do."

Although Netro was a dragon and used dark magic as an inspiration for that attack that split Leon in two many times, according to his memories, he imagined wind when he attacked. Why? Because that is one of the basic types of magic, he managed to master. Following that logic, Leon decided to start with the first spell he learned by himself.

Leon tried that, but… whenever he wished to create an invisible Water Bullet, even though he didn't want it, the Water Bullet would take physical form. Leon sat on the ground and began to think. By the look of things, he couldn't even use his magic knowledge. However, after a while, he had an idea. Considering that Netro could damage Leon no matter what or where he was, it wasn't the same thing, but Leon decided to use time magic because he didn't learn a single spell that had Sekundez's power and the power of other spirits. Speaking of which, considering that the other spirits always tried to teach him new things, Sekundez was certainly weird… but Leon didn't have time to think about that.

Leon couldn't just combine a random element and time because time doesn't have a physical form, and considering the nature of conceptual attacks, Leon would have to the power of time first and the other element later. At first, Leon had a tough time visualizing the attack, but eventually, he had another idea of how to do it. Instead of controlling time of anything, Leon decided to control the time of his own will.

Leon visualized the rock getting damaged by an invisibly Water Bullet many times, and when he somehow could clearly see that happening in the future, he activated his Time Manipulation. Suddenly and much to his surprise… a small part of the rock got cracked. Leon succeeded, but his attack didn't land in the place he had visualized.

Leon thought Netro used that kind of attack many times because he was a dragon and had a massive mana pool, but according to his analyzes, he only spent the mana that he used to control time.

"Can you explain this, Sekundez?" Leon asked.

"You succeeded in accelerating the time of your thought process, and thus you created a phenomenon that only happened in another planet of existence," Sekundez explained. "That is the true nature of conceptual attacks: the power to make something happen even though it wasn't supposed to happen because the process to make it happen didn't happen."

"Okay… so you knew about this beforehand, and you knew that I was troubled over it, but still decided not to give me a hand?" Leon asked.

"Ilyana also can do something like that, so why do you think she didn't teach you?" Sekundez asked.

"Don't answer a question with other questions…" Leon sighed. "I have no idea… maybe because she has a lot of secrets?"

"She has a lot of secrets… but she didn't teach you that because it is an ability that needed to be learned alone," Sekundez said. "Only those who find the answers about some things have the right to use it."

"Who decided that?" Leon frowned.

"The first person I met who could use conceptual attacks," Sekundez replied, much to Leon's surprise.

That was weird, Leon wasn't expecting an answer, but it looked like the person who discovered that ability also made up some rules. That being said, it also looked like those words belong to someone who didn't like to teach anything to others. Still, despite all that, Leon could understand the logic. After all, he was planning to use that knowledge to bend the universe's rules to some extent.

Regardless, instead of worrying about that, Leon needed to worry about why his attack didn't land on the place he wanted. That made him recall that Netro couldn't aim his attacks perfectly, so perhaps they had the same problems. Still, Leon didn't discover why his attack could only be used once every few seconds.

"Netro didn't have the power of Sekundez," Leon said. "So, perhaps he was using his own skills to create such phenomena, am I right, Sekundez?"

"You are right," Sekundez replied. "After much training, Netro managed to develop his own style of conceptual attack. He didn't need the power to control time. He just concentrated all the energy he could muster in a period of time and then let it explode in a single moment. Thanks to that, he couldn't control where the attack would land, but he found a way to counter that drawback with Absolute Accuracy to some extent."
