"Can we spar?"
It was a simple question, but it was that simple question that brought a storm with it.
"…!" Sitting behind him, Talia and the others stared at him with stunned looks on their faces but Leon didn't even react.
He kept his gaze coolly on the Colonel's face.
Leon called it a spar, but truly it was a duel.
Colonel Alphonse stared at his mentor's benefactor with a complicated look in his sky blue eyes. On one hand, Leon recognized respect and reluctance to fight in the Colonel's eyes, and on the other hand he recognized the pride and confidence of a D Rank Ascended.
Every Ascended who built the guts to challenge the D Rank Ascended Trial and succeeded was either a genius, a psychopath who was unafraid of death, or a head-strong personality with unwavering willpower.
Whichever category Colonel Alphonse fell into, Leon was convinced that there was a 70% chance of the Colonel agreeing to his request.
Besides, it was not like he was just going to keep quiet.
