Dimensional Descent

Leonel smiled, feeling that Joel's question wasn't as simple as it seemed. It was almost like the latter was testing something.

"Well, that would depend on you, now wouldn't it?"

"How would your opinion depend on me?"

"I think you know."

"Still the same Leonel," Joel said, shaking his head.

Indeed, the changes to Leonel were a bit subtle. He seemed more expressive than usual. No, he seemed more expressive than he had been originally. The Leonel of Royal Blue Academy was a lot more like this.

It was enough that Joel was a bit skeptical of what was going on. The fact that Leonel was giving him a choice and not just telling him what to do was the most baffling. Since when did Leonel do that?

The last time they had a session like this wasn't long after Aina left for Planet Viola. Back then, Leonel had just told them all directly what to do. This time, though... it was very different.

"Just checking to make sure you didn't have a brain worm."

Leonel grinned.

"I assume that this choice is pretty straightforward. Absorbing it now will give me a more immediate strength increase, but waiting and comprehending it on my own will give me more potential in the future. I choose the first."

Leonel smiled, he didn't question Joel's decision. Of his brothers, Joel was without a doubt the most insightful. Although Allan was the smartest and the closest in intelligence to himself, that was more so toward the physical sciences and mathematics. When it came to people or reading social situations, he was very much lacking.
