The time right now was around past midnight, maybe 2 to 3 in the morning.

At this moment, Leo is just sitting at a corner, feeling really sleepy.

He really underestimated the effects of tirelessly using his Magic power for over 100 times. It was entirely different from what he was used to doing in the past. Not only does it affect his energy but also his spirit and mind, hence causing him to easily get more tired every round he repeated his plan.

It's literally like the conversion of physical labor compared to doing Magic labor is 1 is to 5, at least for him.

Like for example, if he carries a heavy box using his strength alone, he will only use a small amount of energy. On the other hand, using a Magic spell to carry a heavy box would cost him to consume 5 times the amount of energy, plus a toll on his spirit and mind.

Although using Magic spell was convenient, really, but he just found out that it only applies to those who had trained themselves in using their Magic power for a long time already. As for Leo, he hasn't still trained that much time with his Magic power yet, causing him to easily get tired every time he uses anything related to Magic and Mana.

”Axel, take Leo with you!” Murgan said the moment he arrived on the top of the boat.

It was now Murgan's group turn to keep watch.

Murgan had heard from Axel the moment he arrived just how much Leo had done in order for the boat to arrived in less than 10 kilometers away to finally reach Blue Fin Kingdom, though not what Leo had exactly used to achieve such a thing. And, seeing Leo closing his eyes from time to time, it was really obvious to see that he is already feeling really tired and was just pushing himself due to the responsibility that teacher Homer had put on his shoulder.

”It's okay, I'll keep on watching!” Leo shook his head as he tried to stand up. But he quickly lost balance and nearly crash to the floor, luckily his reflexes were fast enough to hold to the side.

”Nah, it's time for you to sleep!” Axel arrived in front of Leo as he helped him walk downstairs towards an empty cabin.

Aiden also quickly lends his help.

Leo wasn't able to fight back anymore since he was already extremely tired. And his body was also telling him to take a rest.

The moment Leo laid in a wooden bed, he quickly fell asleep.

Anyway, Leo was also not that worried about the safety of the boat since a Water Elemental was currently keeping watch underneath the boat and an Earth Elemental in a form of a Golem is guarding the top of the boat to help Murgan's group guard for any danger.

.....

A light that went past from a small hole in the top of the ceiling of the cabin caused Leo to quickly wake up from his sleep.

”How long was I sleeping?” Leo stretched his body before he slowly walks back to the top of the boat.

”Oh, Leo, you're finally awake!” Axel quickly greeted the moment he saw Leo walking upstairs.

”Yeah. By the way, where are we now?” Leo can't help but ask while rubbing his still sleepy eyes.

”We have already arrived!” Murgan suddenly arrived at the side.

Hearing Murgan's words, Leo became fully awake as he quickly began looking around all over the place.

At this moment, the boat was now docked in a docking area, or at least something that has a similar function to that. To be honest, their boat right now was actually just floating a bit far away from the land, specifically a place where the water is deep enough for the boat to not hit the ocean floor.

The docking area really looks different from the Humans coastal city. He could still see some 'actual' boats, really different to their boat that looked similar to a tree, but there is no wall that acts as a barricade that separates the water from the land and there is also no wharf that leads to the deep part of the water where boats could perfectly dock in place. And instead, they only have stairs, just plain and simple stairs made out of stones.

Though, he quickly understood the reason for why the Mermaid race had made it into stairs.

Just from a bit of a distance from the boat, he immediately saw a female Mermaid that swam from the ocean before her tail quickly turned into a Human's feet the moment she arrived near the stairs as she then walked using the stairs to arrive in the land.

”Marvelous isn't it!” Ehtelyn arrived behind Leo.

”Yeah...” Leo nodded his head. It was indeed marvelous, but maybe it's only because this was his first time seeing an actual person of the Mermaid race.

”I was also shocked just like you the moment I first saw them!” Axel nodded his head in understanding of what Leo was feeling right now, ”I only read such a thing through books, but seeing such a scene myself is really different experience!”

”It's really shocking that the mermaid race looked almost identical to us, Humans...” Leo said. Aside from fins located in the side of their hands and feet, scales similar to those of fish in some parts of their body, and gills in both sides of their neck, the Mermaid race would almost look like Humans the moment they turned their tails into feet.

Moreover, just by looking at the city in front of them, he could immediately assume that the Mermaid race actually lives both in the land and water, something that wasn't mentioned in the books he had read before since all the books mentioned they lived underwater.
