"Oh... I'm actually not that impressive."
The slightly dim right eye blinked lightly and used some method to examine Leon, discovering that he genuinely meant what he said. The lazy young man's mouth curled up in a smile more difficult to suppress than an AK, as he basked in the praise and cheerfully suggested,
"Well, I actually see quite a bit of potential in you. How about... I teach you sometime when you're free?
Although lacking the support of the corresponding anomalous object might mean the effects aren't as strong, it's still a life-saving skill... Hmm... Hang on a bit; I need to grab that snake before the chicken pecks it to death."

After finishing a pleasant conversation with his considerate junior, the lazy young man scraped his shoe against the ground, destroying the ritual site he had just set up, and rescued the dying snake spirit from the beak of a chicken.
"Dear Snake Spirit, we meet again."
