Leo avoided answering the Testing Wizard's questions about research.
He had no interest in becoming someone else's experiment.
"I don't know. Mental traits don't necessarily bring only beneficial effects; they can also bring harmful ones. But before they are activated, they are no different from not having them."
The Testing Wizard spoke ambiguously. "Many Wizards also possess similar unknown talents, but even until their deaths, those talents still failed to awaken."
