It took a long while for Hector to understand that Leon wouldn't attack him with magic no matter what. Even though using feints wasn't a bad thing per se, Leon wanted to learn how to fight using a weapon and not mess with the opponent's mind. So, he stopped doing that, not because the audience was looking at him reproachfully.
Despite the obvious differences in strength, Leon still could block Hector's attacks… at least when he used his lance. When he used his shield, the only thing Leon could do was to rely on his Mana Armor to deny the damage, but his skill didn't stop Hector from pushing him back. In the end, Leon didn't have the chance to land a single clean hit.
"That was refreshing." Hector smiled.
