Chapter 149 A New Teacher(2)
"Anyways, go ahead and take a break until your new teacher arrives. You'll need all the energy you can get." Eve said to him, who almost cried upon hearing the word 'break', even if it was just for a little while.
Leo didn't hesitate and immediately went to his room to rest.
"I wonder who this new teacher will be." Leo mumbled out loud as he laid on the bed.
"Knowing the Headmistress, this new teacher can't be a simple person. They will most likely be an S-Rank Adventurer, especially if you consider her standard. Giving you a incompetent teacher will only hinder your growth." Lilith said.
"I only hope that they won't be too strict."
Later that day, Eve called Leo back to the training room.
However, when he arrived, he couldn't see his new teacher.
"Where's the new teacher?" He asked.
"She should arrive soon—"
Before Eve could even finish her sentence, the door opened, and a tall figure with long silky golden hair walked into the building.
Leo's eyes widened when he saw this elegant-looking beauty approaching them. She had clear azure-colored eyes and naturally cold facial features, and her imposing aura screamed royalty.
This cold beauty glanced at Leo for a moment before looking at Eve, who had a slight smile on her face.
"Looks like everything will turn out just fine." Eve suddenly mumbled in a low voice.
"Huh?" Leo looked at her with raised eyebrows, but she pretended to not notice him.
"It's been a while, Alice." Eve said a moment later.
"Why did you call me all the way out here, Eve? You know I'm a busy person."
"Why? Because you owe me a favor. Or did you forget already?"
"If I didn't owe you a favor, I wouldn't be here. Anyways, what do you need help with? I will quickly get it over with and return home."
"Let's not be so hasty. Allow me to introduce you to my new student, Leo Magnus. I'm sure you've heard of him. He's the idiot who ate the Fruit of Magic Awakening." Eve said while nudging Leo with her elbow.
'Idiot…? You were the one who came up with this idea!' He cried inwardly.
"And Leo, this is Alice. She's an S-Rank Adventurer and also an instructor for the royal family in the Golden City, specializing in swordsmanship. She's going to be your new teacher for this week."
"What?" Alice suddenly frowned.
Eve turned to look at her with an innocent smile, "I want you to teach my student for a week."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Alice spoke in a cold but low voice, "I traveled two weeks to get here because you said you needed help with something and that it was something you could only tell me in person…"
"Yup! If you knew why, you wouldn't have come here, so I had no choice but to keep this from you."
"I refuse." Alice suddenly said, her voice without any hesitation.
"First of all, I am only allowed to accept students appointed by the royal family. Secondly, training a stranger who isn't even from the same city is scandalous. I'm not going to do it."
"Don't be like that! You owe me a favor, remember? If I recall correctly, it's a pretty big favor, too. This is a very good deal for you if you ask me since I am only asking for some of your time and effort. And I am not asking you to accept him as your student. You can even consider this as giving advice. Nobody will even know what happened here, so you don't need to worry about your public image."
Alice didn't respond and turned to look at Leo with a contemplating gaze.
Eve suddenly approached Alice and whispered in her ears, "I'm sure you already notice this, but this guy is a monster. He only recently started learning magic because of the Fruit of Magic Awakening but he can already use Tier 7 magic spell. If you help him, there's a good chance that he will assist the royal family in the future, which will benefit you and the royal family greatly."
Alice's eyes widened with shock after hearing this information.
'He can use Tier 7 magic already?! It's only been a month since then! Even the most talented within the royal magicians can't compare to him if that's true!'
"That's absurd! He only consumed the Fruit of Magic Awakening a month ago, right? There's no way he can use Tier 7 magic already!" Alice doubted this and believed that Eve was trying to trick her into teaching him.
"You don't have to believe my words. You can experience it for yourself whether it's true or not." Eve said to her before turning to look at Leo, "Let her see it. Your 'dragon'."
Leo raised an eyebrow, "Why did you have to word it like that?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Forget it." Leo shook his head.
He turned away from them and proceeded to cast Dragon's Breath.
Since he only needed to prove that he could use Tier 7 magic, he didn't bother overcharging it and released it as soon as possible.
Alice's eyes widened when she saw the dragon head behind Leo.
'It's really a Tier 7 magic spell… And he's even silently casting it…' Alice was utterly astonished by Leo's talent.
"Are you a believer now?" Eve asked her as a sea of flames engulfed the other half of the room.
Alice swallowed nervously. 'If I can get someone like him to be on our side… The Golden City's standing will soar! And the royal family will…'
When she realized just how valuable Leo was and how he could potentially become a strong ally for her city, she decided to do whatever she could to get on his good side.
"Ahem!" Alice cleared her throat and spoke to Eve in a stiff voice, "Okay, I will teach him for a week. I do owe you a favor, after all."
