Chapter 89: Fruit of Magic Awakening
“Why don’t you accept her help? I don’t think you’re ready to wander the Wilderness for a whole month by yourself. She’s a witch and can use dark magic as well. I think she’ll be a good addition.” Lilith said to Leo as he pondered Nina’s offer.
After pondering for a few moments, Leo nodded, “Alright, fine, I’ll make you my teammate.”
“Okay. Let’s go tell a teacher to form our team.”
p??d? Leo nodded, “Let’s speak with my teacher since it’s on the way to the Headmistress’ office.”
The two of them entered the school building. A few minutes later, they arrived at Leo’s classroom.
Inside, a few students could be seen talking to Jasmine.
When Leo entered the classroom with Nina, the students there stopped talking to stare at them with wide eyes.
“Do you need something, Leo?” Jasmine asked him.
“Yes, I’d like to form a team with Nina here for the Wilderness Training Course.”
“A team with Nina Wraith?” Jasmine’s eyes also widened after hearing such words, as they were a pair that nobody could’ve expected.
Nina Wraith was known for being antisocial and weird, not to mention the unpleasant rumors surrounding her. She was someone who would never team up with another student, so it was shocking that she would agree to partner up with Leo, who was the opposite of her.
After snapping out of her daze, Jasmine handed them a piece of paper and said, “Just put your names on here and sign beside it.”
After signing their names, Leo handed the paper back to Jasmine.
“I will submit this at the end of the day. If you decide to change your mind, you have another three hours.” Jasmine said to them.
“I understand.”
Leo and Nina left the room shortly after.
“Thank you. I will do my best to assist you.” Nina said to him afterward. “Here is my phone number. Call me if you need anything. I will see you tomorrow then.”
After giving her phone number to Leo, Nina disappeared from the school building.
As for Leo, he made his way to the Headmistress’ office.
“What’s up with Leo and Nina? Since when were they friends?” The students in the classroom mumbled to each other about the bizarre scene they’d just witnessed.
“Do you think he’ll let us into his group now?”
“I don’t think I can be with Nina for too long. She gives me the shivers…”
“Right? She’s a cursed child with a dark magic affinity, after all.”
Meanwhile, Leo knocked on the door to the Headmistress’ office.
However, nobody answered.
‘It’ll probably be a while before she returns since she was also at the auditorium…’ Leo sighed inwardly.
However, to his surprise, the Headmistress showed up only five minutes later, and walking beside her was Camille.
“Miss Camille? You’re here too? What is this about?” Leo asked with a raised eyebrow.
But she didn’t respond to him and entered the office with Eve.
Once they were inside the office, Headmistress Eve retrieved a weird device and placed it on the table before them.
She then activated it using her mana, creating a barrier around the room.
“This room is now soundproof.” Eve said to them.
And she turned to look at Leo before continuing to speak, “Leo, you’re from another world, aren’t you?”
“Huh?” Leo’s eyes widened with shock after hearing such words, and he turned to look at Camille, who had a bittersweet smile on her face.
“I had suspected that you were not the Leo I knew even before she told me the truth, and my suspicions were confirmed recently after training with you.” Eve suddenly said.
“How…?” Leo mumbled in a dazed voice.
“You’re a hundred years too young to try to fool me, Leo. Anyways, tell me, Leo from another world, how did you end up in this world?”
“I don’t know. I went to sleep one night and then woke up already in this world.”
Eve narrowed her eyes, “Do you have any idea what your existence means for our world?”
“Every time someone comes to our world from the outside, the world is tossed into mayhem, mostly due to these individuals that have tried to dominate the entire world. In other words, you guys have a really bad reputation, and if people learn that you are from another world, they will most likely try to kill you before you can become strong enough to threaten the world.”
Leo was left speechless by her words.
“There have been other people besides me who came from another world?” Leo asked after snapping out of his daze.
“Yes, six people— at least six that we know of.” Camille said.
“And all of them attempted world domination…?” Leo raised his eyebrows.
“That’s right.”
“Unbelievable…” Leo was once again speechless.
“This is another reason why you should never reveal the fact that you came from another world. The entire world would come together to kill you if it’s revealed.” Camille said to him.
“As long as we cover for him, his secret will remain safe.” Eve said.
And she continued, “Let’s continue onto another topic. Leo, I heard that you’re quite talented in magic. Not only do you have S-Rank dark magic affinity, but you also have a magic affinity for wind magic as well.”
“Yes, what about it?”
“I know that you’re hiding your magic talents on purpose and your reason for doing so, but I want you to use magic openly.” Eve suddenly said.
“What?!” Both Leo and Camille exclaimed.
“You know it would raise suspicions if Leo can suddenly use magic! Why do you even want him to use magic?” Camille said with a frown.
“Why not? If he has the talents for it, he should utilize it properly. Although the old Leo cannot use magic, we have a way around that.” Eve said.
“What way?” Leo asked with great curiosity.
“Have you ever heard of the Fruit of Magic Awakening?” A profound smile appeared on Eve’s face.
“Y-You don’t mean…” Camille’s eyes widened with realization.
“That’s right. Leo’s going to eat one. This way, nobody will suspect him even if he uses magic.” Eve nodded.
“Fruit of Magic Awakening?” Leo mumbled in a low voice.
