With the agreement now made, Elise's attention turned to her lack of information.
"Hey Leon, is it alright if I ask you some questions?"
"Sure" he had some questions of his own and now was the time to ask them, seeing as Elise was rather knowledgeable.
"Firstly, was this woman as strong as what she was before… you know" she points towards Shirley with her face slightly red.
Shirley ignores her until Leon calls out.
"No, I'm probably 20% stronger after I fucked him."
The fact that her strength had changed since last night was, news to Leon.
'Wait, she grew that much stronger. Isn't that kind of change in strength equivalent to decades of work?' As he wrangles with the consequences of such growth, he sees that Elise is also deep in thought.
'That isn't a small increase, she must have drained a significant portion of his vitality. Yet…" Looking over at Leon who seemed rather normal, she became even more curious.
"Leon, can you activate your ability?" she asks, feeling it may aid her investigation.
"Which ability, you mean the flame?" Leon answers with a little confusion. He himself not being sure what his ability is.
"Yes, the flame."
Sending magic particles to the tips of his fingers, a bright flame bursts from each hand. Seeing it, Elise gives a nod, and he releases them.
"My man can make flames, so cool" Shirley inputs resulting in a quick glare from Elise. Her features soften as she talks to Leon once more, "what was it about your ability?"
"Well, I am not sure about whether it is flame. I feel like there is more to it and I never thought a clear crystal would be fire attribute." Leon states keeping to himself that he is almost sure about it being something else. It was the only way to explain the sudden change in his strength and the fact that he had started getting into fights without his knowledge.
"You asked earlier about Shirley's strength increase. How did it happen and are there any drawbacks to it?"
'If there weren't any, wouldn't there be much stronger women everywhere?' Leon could imagine how useful it would be if only he got stronger at each rate from such an activity.
"Um, when a man and woman like each other…" Elise face had started flushing with colour. She hadn't been expected to answer such a question.
"If a man blows his load in a woman, part of his magic is left with her" Shirley answers for the struggling girl.
"Ahem. Thank you. Now specifically, the portion of power transferred relates to the capacity of the woman and man. You can roughly say the amount being drawn increase with the woman's strength and amount available by the mans. As for drawbacks, normally if a woman is stronger than Soldier class, the average man would die from a dozen transfer in a year. Someone of her strength would probably halve the strength of a knight class."
"Wait, really? Neither time did I feel that big of a change. Only a bit drained for the next day." Leon shocked by the statement professes.
'Neither, that would mean more than one. Also it is unnatural, does he have a massive pool' unable to get a clear answer she comments "perhaps I need to study your body more to know for sure."
"That just sounds like you want to do pervy things" Shirley teases.
"Why you?" embarrassed she complains causing Leon to laugh at their interaction. "Haha, thank you Elise for helping out. I don't know what would have happened if you didn't." Elise having no words for his sincerity could only go silent.
With Leon leaving Shirley in Elise his care, with a decision made that she would remain in her room until members of the Serpent family arrive to help, he leaves towards the dorm. The sun starting to peak over the horizon.
Leon gets back to his room and sits down on his bed. Albert, fast asleep, snores loudly. With not enough time to get to sleep, Leon sighs. Deciding he would lay down and relook at Victors gift.
Around two hours later, Albert wakes. Mumble about how much his head hurts, his usual structured morning self is nowhere to be seen. Leon sympathises with him, feeling terrible himself. When the two finally finish getting ready, they meet up with Victor.
"Wow, do you two look like shit" he cheerily mentions.
"Don't talk so loud, my head is pounding" rubbing his temples with his hands.
"Remind me not to drink next time."
The three slowly make their way to class, somewhat worn.
