Chapter 107: Evangelions evaluation about Leo (2/2)
”So... There is no pattern and reason at all?” Evangelion asked dubiously.
”Maybe there is one!” Leo said as he thought of something.
”What?!” Evangelion excitedly asked.
”I'm just lucky!” Leo said before letting out a laugh.
Hearing Leo's reason, Evangelion could only let out a laugh, too.
Leo had actually just repeated what he had said at first. No reason at all, it's just purely because of luck!
Well, Leo was indeed a lucky person. He even has 3... Oh, 4 beautiful girls actually, living in the same villa as him, without any fights or problems at all. Maybe that also applies to why he could find 3 bountiful rewarding missions, right? He might even stumble upon a fourth time the next time.
At this moment, Evangelion finally changed his bad impression about Leo. At first, he was also thinking the same as Angel. Thinking that Leo doesn't have any special capability to receive such high evaluation and admiration from Madam Silva.
However, now Evangelion could also see what Madam Silva sees in Leo; Leo, despite being young, has some kind of unexplainable or could also be called as an unreasonable capability that allows him to get something unexpected or undeserved for himself, or maybe he's just hiding a big secret that they still haven't discovered yet. And, despite getting all of those, he remains humble and continues to strive to become a much better person compared to who he was before.
It was really something that couldn't just be found that easily to young people nowadays, especially to young Nobles. The majority of the young Nobles these days were, after all, just youngsters that's acts all so proudly and arrogantly to the reputation and power that they didn't even earn for themselves. (Author's note: The specific reference about this was how the Class 1S+ students act like spoiled brats.)
On the other hand, Leo was standing on a mountain that he himself had to work hard to build. A young Noble that had actually put his hand on the ground, full of dirt, and would need blood, sweat, and tears, as he slowly but surely raises a mountain to stand on for himself.
Luck? Evangelion wasn't stupid to really believe such a reason. The only explanation to how Leo had earned such an encounter to himself was simply because he was hiding his real capability.
The capability that Madam Silva speaks so highly of!
The capability that Leo had earned himself through different experiences!
The capability that he, Evangelion, couldn't help but also admire!
Maybe that was also the reason why Madam Silva had thrown Angel, her very own student, in the hands of Leo. Maybe she had felt that her student would be able to improve more on his hand compared to staying as only her assistant.
Evangelion finally understood at this moment too, the difference between him and Madam Silva. Why he, a 5 Star Mage, was assigned as an assistant by the President and has instead assigned Madam Silva, a normal Human, as the Head of all the branches of Sword and Magic in Silver Kingdom.
Madam Silva could see something that even he, Evangelion, a 5 Star Mage, was incapable of seeing. That alone could already speak volumes of why the President had made her the Head of all the branches of Sword and Magic in Silver Kingdom when he agreed on the proposal of the King of Silver Kingdom.
”The President was indeed right! Madam Silva is one of the people that would be able to give our organization a new goal!” Evangelion suddenly said as he turned to look at Leo and thought in his mind, ”And that brand new goal is definitely something related to this young man, Leo!”
”Huh?” Leo suddenly felt weird out as he looked at Evangelion's seemingly shining eyes, ”What kind of thought is Evangelion currently thinking at this moment for his eyes to shine like that. Is he perhaps interested in me?”
”Dude, I'm straight!” Leo quickly said.
”Oh, and so do I, hahaha!” Evangelion said with a laugh.
After a few minutes of walking, Leo and Evangelion finally arrived at the door of Madam Silva's office. A door with a symbol of sword and book cross into each other. A symbol that the President of Sword and Magic had explained was the sole purpose of the Sword and Magic' existence, ”Through Sword and Magic, the Humans will rise to its former glory once again! Members of the Sword and Magic organization, always remember this; one day, yes, one day, all of our countless battles using swords and Magic, we Humans will rise from these ashes on the ground once again, like how a phoenix rises back from its very own ashes!”
