Idk why people are unhappy philleo and varia are getting some chapters to have their moment to shine. I'm loving it!! Leo's focus will come back soon and then it'll be all on her. I'm sure they're doing this because they have to because the future parts of the story are dependent on the fact that philleo and varia are together and we need to flesh out their dynamic together as well as the dynamic between them and Leo.
Other than that, I'm glad that they're quickly clearing up the misunderstanding varia has about philleo and the rumor of him loving a commoner woman and "having" leo. I'm assuming next chap is when they'll spill the beans to her that leo is biologically philleo's niece but in every right: emotionally, mentally, and legally philleo's daughter
Okay... after reaching chapter 140 I now easily understand the reasoning behind making her do the tests.

Its because the magic swordsman, creator of the magic tower was the human lover of Leorga, and she is heartbroken that he is no longer alive with her. So her tests are her forcing the FL to learn through pain and sadness (literally she already fought a battle, aka pain) that the magic swordsman was Leorga's lover and that he died and yet Leorga is still living 1000 years later, or however many years later, and that the same exact thing will happen to the FL and her entire human family so....
