Chapter 188 Vampire Vanquisher
While Leo waited for the teacher to return, he looked at his quest.
'I didn't get the reward even though I clearly defeated Helia. Does it only work once per individual?' He wondered when his quest didn't finish.
Sometime later, the female teacher returned and said to him, "Helia is fine. She's not in any danger, but her body received minor burns. Tell me, what happened?"
"I already told you. Helia requested to spar with me and I agreed. I guess things got a little heated and we used our most powerful spells." Leo explained.
The teacher looked around the room that had burned marks all over the place and said, "Didn't you know that only Tier 5 and below spells are allowed in the Training Center?"
"Really? I didn't know that…" Leo said.
Naturally, he knew about it, but he lied in order to escape punishment.
The teacher thought that it was due to his amnesia that he doesn't remember so she didn't pursue this matter any further.
"Now you know. If you do this again, we can ban you from coming back here." She warned him.
"Sorry, it won't happen again."
The teacher left shortly after.
"What are you going to do now?" Lilith asked him.
"I'm going to practice back at home, where I can use my magic spell without any limitations," he said as he made his way out of the Training Center.
About two hours later, Helia woke up in the infirmary inside the Training Center.
"Ugh…" She slowly sat up on the bed and looked around in confusion.
"How do you feel? Do you feel pain anywhere?" The nurse asked when she noticed Helia waking up.
"No… I don't feel any pain… What happened?" Helia asked.
"According to the teacher that brought you here, you were knocked unconscious during a spar with another student." The nurse explained.
Helia's head cleared up after hearing this, and she recalled Leo using Dragon's Breath.
"L-Leo! Where did Leo go?!" She asked for him.
"Leo? I'm sorry, but I don't know."
Hearing this, Helia jumped out of the bed and rushed for the exit, but she stopped when she noticed something off about her body.
She looked down to see that she was no longer wearing her school uniform.
"What happened to my clothes?" She turned to look at the nurse with a weird look on her face.
"They were burned during the spar."
"N-No way… So I was naked?" Helia asked for confirmation.
"That's right. When the teacher brought you here, you were already naked." The nurse nodded.
Helia's face immediately flushed with redness.
"Leo!!!" She shouted his name before storming out of the infirmary while still wearing her white patient clothes.
However, she didn't know where Leo was, nor did she know where to start.
Thus, she had no choice but to give up on looking for Leo for now.
After returning to her dorm, Helia changed her clothes and started investigating Leo's whereabouts.
Later that day, when Eve returned home, she went to look for Leo.
Upon finding him in the training room, she called for him, "Leo! Come over here for a bit!"
Leo stopped his training and approached her.
"Here you go." Eve handed him a spatial ring when he stopped.
"These are your mana cores. Is this enough?"
Leo, who had completely forgotten about the mana cores, immediately became excited when Eve handed him the spatial ring.
Once the ring was in his grasp, he took a look inside, and to his surprise, it was filled to the brim with mana cores.
"H-How many mana cores is this?!" He looked at Eve with wide eyes.
"There are 150 S-Rank mana cores and 3,000 A-Rank mana cores in total. This cost me about 2 billion dollars."
"T-Two billion dollars?!" Leo exclaimed.
"I would've gotten you more, but that is literally all the market had in stock, and I even purchased some in the black market."
"This is more than enough… Thank you!" Leo said. He was so excited that he couldn't even begin to count how many Magic Points he'll be able to acquire from these mana cores.
"No, I should be the one thanking you, Leo." Eve shook her head.
"Also, I have one more surprise for you."
She proceeded to retrieve a majestic sword with a red blade from her spatial ring and held it in front of her, offering it to him.
"Do you know what this is?" She asked him.
Leo used his passive skill to analyze the sword before him.
[Vampire Vanquisher]
[Grade: S]
[Description: Increases the power of your sword attacks by 300%. Increases damage to vampires by an additional 200%. Increase Sharpness by 500%. The more vampires you vanquish with this sword, the stronger it becomes. Inflicts 'Unhealable' on damage.]
[Unhealable: Restricts all healing effects]
"Uhh… I have never seen this sword before…" Leo swallowed nervously when he saw the stats of this magic artifact.
"I'm not surprised. This is an S-Rank magic artifact. Vampire Vanquisher— it was the old Leo's sword. We found it when we were looking for him. I wanted to give you this sword sooner, but there were some complications. Don't worry, it's all dealt with now."
"Are you sure you want to give this to me? I'm not the real owner of this sword, you know."
"It's okay. You may not be the same Leo, but you're still Leo." Eve smiled.
Leo grabbed the sword and took it off Eve's hand.
He began swinging it around the next moment.
"Wow, this sword is heavier than it looks. I won't be able to use this for now," he said after a few swings.
"You'll get there eventually. With your talents, I'm sure it won't take long either."
Leo decided to stop his training and return to his room shortly after so that he could convert his mana cores into Magic Points.
"With this many mana cores, I will definitely have enough Magic Points to go on another shopping spree!" He laughed out loud.
