Leon, who was awake, got up from the bed and began to move towards the bathroom to freshen up. As he entered the bathroom, he noticed that someone had just finished bathing.
Ker, who had just finished her bath, stood up and said to her daughter Baillie, "Okay, Baillie, I'm going out. Make sure to finish quickly and come out of the bathroom fast."
Baillie, who was washing herself, responded, "Okay, Mom." Baillie was known to be a slow washer, thorough in her cleaning routine. It often took her hours to finish washing herself, even with the help of others. When left to do it herself, it would take her twice as long.
As Baillie washed herself, she sang a song in a soft voice that only she could hear. Suddenly, she noticed someone approaching the bathroom door. Assuming it was her mother coming to wash her back, she continued her routine. However, when she realized it wasn't her mother but someone else entering the bathroom, she turned to look in that direction. As she did, the shampoo in her hair dripped into her eyes, causing them to burn. Using her water magic, she rinsed the shampoo from her eyes. She wanted to stop the intruder but it was too late.
It wasn't that Baillie was uncomfortable bathing with a man. She had heard stories of her mother bathing with male soldiers on the battlefield, and as her daughter, she believed she could do the same. As Leon entered the bathroom, dressed in bathing clothes, Baillie was mesmerized by his well-built body. She found his physique incredibly attractive.
To avoid being seen, she used her mirror magic to create a barrier in the corner of the bathroom where she was bathing. She wanted to observe every part of his body and memorize it. Baillie was somewhat of a body admirer.
Leon, feeling as if someone was watching him, looked around but saw no one. He then proceeded to bathe himself. He went to the water tub, which was filled with water, and rested in it. He began to ponder about what he should tell Walter regarding his abilities. As he thought, he asked Ceil, his inner voice, "Hey Ceil, should I reveal all the abilities I possess to Walter?"
Responding to Leon's question, Ceil said, "No, you should not reveal more than two abilities you have received from the world. If you do, it could lead to great disaster for you."
Leon, confused, asked, "What do you mean by disaster? I don't cause disasters to anyone. You know I'm a peace-loving guy."
Ceil laughed and explained, "Anyone with two abilities is already considered abnormal or a disaster entity in the God community. You are more than that; you are a catastrophic entity. You don't realize how much power imbalance you can cause by announcing you have more than two abilities."
Leon understood Ceil's explanation and nodded to himself, deciding he would not tell anyone about his abilities except his loved ones. Curious, he asked Ceil, "Is there anyone else in the God community with more than two abilities?"
Ceil answered, "Yes, there were, but their abilities were not soul-embedded or world-given. Rather, they were created by specific races to match their skills. These abilities can only perform one activity, whereas soul-embedded abilities can perform multiple activities and can be learned by anyone with the knowledge."
Leon asked, "With the ability of a learner, can I learn soul-embedded abilities too?"
Ceil responded, "No, you cannot learn soul-embedded abilities as a learner, but you can learn other abilities of different races."
Leon said, "If I tell Walter about my barrier ability and blood control ability, there's no problem, right?"
Ceil confirmed, "Yes, there's no problem. You can tell him about your barrier and blood control abilities."
Leon nodded, "Okay, for now, let's go to Walter and discuss the sword he wanted to talk about. He said he would tell me about it, but I don't understand what's special about that sword. Ceil, do you know anything about it?"
Ceil replied, "No, I don't. I only know what the first generation of gods knew. After that, the second generation of gods came along with their innovations in abilities manipulation and properties of law manipulation. Before I could understand all of that, my creator died, so I don't know about the properties Walter wants to talk to you about."
Leon sighed, "Ahhh," feeling the complexity of the situation. He didn't understand the difference between the first and second generation gods but knew it would be troublesome to understand, so he wanted to avoid trouble at any cost. He got out of the bath and began to move towards his room.
Baillie, who had been watching Leon bathe the entire time, was drooling like crazy. Saliva dripped from her mouth non-stop. She thought to herself, "I want to touch those abs, his well-built shoulders. Ahhh, I want them. His body is like a cake, and I want all of it. I don't know who you are, but don't worry, my darling, I will come to you soon." She dispelled the mirror magic and headed towards her mother.
In another room, Walter was sitting on a chair in front of a European-style table. Two beautiful ladies, Ker and Baillie, were sitting on luxurious chairs specially arranged for them. Two maids stood beside them, but the room was in pin-drop silence. Ker broke the silence, asking, "What is it you wanted to talk about?"
Walter replied, "It's about someone, but please wait a minute. That person will be here soon. I told Arnold to bring him."
Ker, frustrated, said, "You wanted to talk about a person and called me here for that?"
At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
Walter asked, "Who is it?"
Arnold replied, "Sir, it's me. We've arrived."
Two people entered the room.
