Chapter 122: Leo’s one very dangerous flaw (2/2)

The moment Leo turned to look behind him, he found out that it wasn't actually only Alfred watching him, but also Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, and Veronica who were all seemingly lost.

To be honest, they really do not know what sort of emotion they should feel while watching this scene. It was their first time seeing such another side of Leo, after all. Such a side was something that they don't even know Leo actually had since he was almost composed ever since they had got to know him.

Moreover, Leo was actually hugging a woman like a child crying to his mother. It was cute and funny. But, at the same time, it was also unusual and doubtful. If other people had told them that Leo was actually showing such a side and crying, then they would surely not believe that person since it was such an unbelievable thing to happen.

”What the f*ck are you all doing here?!!” Leo yelled out as he quickly reverted back to what he had always been before.

”Hehehe, Leo...” Cassandra could only act cutely to defend herself.

”A crybaby side of Leo, hahaha!” Elizabeth didn't even bother to defend as she showed a cunning smile on her face. She was always on the losing end every time they argue about something, so with this, she could finally have something to 'blackmail' him every time she gets offended.

”...” Angel didn't care about Leo though as she focused all her attention on the unknown woman. All the information about Leo hadn't mentioned about any unknown woman acting as his own stepmother. So, 'I need to report this to Madam Silva!', was the first thought that came into her mind.

”Sir Leo, I never thought you have such a side of you... I'm really sorry for treating you like a cold machine before. Starting now, I will be treating you as a child dress like a teenager!” Veronica didn't care about Leo's annoyance too, as she just teased him like Elizabeth.

”Oh, what a nice room you have here, brother! Why are staring at me like that, did you just do something right now...?” Alfred on the other hand didn't have the choice like those 4 girls. He was a man, after all, so he can't just act cutely like Cassandra. He was also just from a branch of a Noble Household, specifically Blue Noble Household of Blue Coral city, so he doesn't have the guts to act like Elizabeth or Veronica. And neither was he cold-like Angel, so he can't act like he doesn't care.

The only way for Alfred to defend himself was to act ignorant.

Moreover, Alfred already had a pending 'Big Reward' from Leo, so he can't afford to add another stack over it. He really regret feeling worried about Leo just awhile ago.

”Master, didn't you told me before that the moment I cried the other people who believed me would also suffer along with me...?” Leo asked as he turned to look at his Master.

”There are always unknown variables, silly child...” Olivia could only reply this way in defense. What she had told Leo before was indeed correct, but that only applies when the situation was in grave. Like for example, when a father loses all his hope as he cries in front of his family. Naturally, his family would also suffer along with him. On the other hand, the current situation right now was still unclear to even her. So, such a saying can't be applied.

”Perhaps I should silence them, right?” Olivia suddenly changed the topic.

”Eh? No, no, no! Absolutely a no! Master, would you want your discipline to fall into darkness again?” Now it was Leo's turn to defend himself. If his Master really acts, then even the Snow and Honoris Noble Household combined together wouldn't be able to stop her that easily.

”Indeed, right? So, why don't you drag your friends outside for a bit...” Olivia said with an obvious hint to Leo.

Leo immediately turned really serious after hearing such words from his Master. He then turned his head around to looked at Cassandra and the others standing at the door. This time, there would be no fooling around anymore. It was time to be serious. With them already knowing about his Master's existence, then troublesome thing would surely happen afterward if he can't find any reasonable excuses.

”Let's get out for a bit!” Leo said with a solemn face.

Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Veronica, and Alfred immediately understood the situation as they nodded their heads in reply before fearfully walking downstairs.

They weren't deaf, hence they had obviously heard what the unknown woman had just said to Leo. Also, they were Mages. So, they had long felt an enormous Magic power coming from the unknown woman from the moment they step inside Leo's room. They were really shocked deep inside about it, and to be honest, they had only been using Leo as an excuse to try to change the topic.

Unfortunately, though, Olivia wasn't stupid.

Naturally, Leo's Master who had taught him to become smart, wise, and witty wouldn't just be someone that a bunch of teens could trick about nor was she someone forgetful.

Olivia had indeed noticed that. The eyes are the window to a person's soul. Unless they become as powerful as her or have power above her, then they wouldn't be able to hide anything from her that easily.

This was also the reason why Olivia was present in the Royal Court for Leo's case. It wasn't actually to support him, but to cast a Magic spell that will cover his one unnoticed and very dangerous flaw. Just like what she said before, no matter how confident Leo was, an unknown variable could take place anytime.

Leo might have been able to make his way out from Madam Silva and Evangelion before, but that was actually only possible because he was only facing face to face with Madam Silva, an ordinary Human, back at that time, not the 5 Star Mage Evangelion.

Moreover, Madam Silva almost has an unconditional belief in Leo. So, she obviously didn't bother putting any countermeasures around when she was asking him a question at that time. If she indeed had done such a thing, then Evangelion would have immediately found out that Leo was actually just lying.

This only happens though because Leo had really underestimated everything about the Mages. It was simply because he was able to easily kill dozens of them already. Although they were all at the same level as him, a No Star Mage, he was still really disappointed about the prowess of Mages.

This had then turned into one deadly and dangerous weakness to Leo.

Fortunately, Olivia had quickly received a report the moment Leo had awaken his affinity to become a Mage, so she was quick to respond to it. To be honest, she had always been observing Leo from the very beginning, hence the reason why the Silver Mage Academy on the first day of school suddenly called out an emergency meeting and Magical Knight Karl being called out to withdraw from protecting Leo.

Olivia had finally noticed this unnoticed flaw of Leo, hence she finally appeared in front of him today. It was now time to teach him some brand new things. Although he is talented in being an assassin, Mages were still something much more powerful than mere assassins. Hence, if this flaw can't be fixed by her as Leo's Master, then a day would surely come where Leo would be faced with a really dangerous situation due to underestimating the Mages.

Moreover, a very powerful person was coming to the Silver Kingdom at this moment. Olivia wanted to also prepare a surprise for that person.

”I will use my very precious discipline to kill you one day!” Olivia thought in her mind. Naturally, she wouldn't just allow anything bad to happen to Leo. If he indeed can't do such a mission, then she will not hesitate to pull him out of there as quickly as possible. After all, Leo, aside from being her precious discipline, was also her very precious stepson.
