Chapter 182: Training in Twilight Forest part 1 (1/2)
In Leo's opinion, he really hates such people like Piero. If Piero was really strong, then he should prove it with a fight, not through a shameless method like attacking the weak and ganging them up.
”Leo, please help Ahmed, he is a great guy so we should help him...” Levi suddenly whispered to Leo.
”I know...” Leo whispered back before he started walking towards Ahmed. He pulled Ahmed's body back up as he helped him rest in a palm tree nearby. Resting in the sand is really uncomfortable, especially with his face first, and the same thing as what just happened a moment ago might happen again, specifically being stepped over by someone part of the coming of age competition.
Moreover, the younger generation competition was coming next week, so Ahmed should always take care of his body in case of causing any variables that will affect his fight.
”Thank you!” Ahmed murmured as he closes his eyes to take a rest. He had woken up really early in the morning, specifically, the sky was still dark implying the time to be around 3 to 4 in the morning, just to do an early morning finishing. When he began fishing when the sun was already out like yesterday, he had only caught a few fishes, so he thought of waking up earlier than usual in order to catch more fish. However, what he didn't expect was with the help of Levi, he would actually end up continuously pulling up the net because every time the net was thrown into the ocean, a group of fishes will actually voluntarily get themselves caught. Yes, voluntarily, seemingly like the fishes are high in drugs or something of the likes.
”This young man is really pitiful...” The Chief shook his head in pity.
”Why is that?” Leo curiously asked.
”He was actually the same as you, he washed ashore nearby our village 10 years ago. No one knows about any information related to him, why he has washed ashore, and he had even also lost all of his past memories, the most important thing that he needed the most. At first, we only tried to help feed him, but the second we know, he had already begun training with the kids older than him. Then as months go on, he started developing at a fast rate, becoming a peak No Star Mage in just a month. Unfortunately, one time in the past, when the kids were playing nearby the Twilight Forest, a Magical Beast unexpectedly appeared and attacked the kids. Ahmed quickly tried his best to save everyone, and in the end, he ends up almost losing his life. Ever since then, his cultivation never improved again.” The Chief explained sorrowfully.
Hearing the Chief's words, Leo's impression of Ahmed quickly improved for the better. He never expected that this young man in the same age as him also experience a past almost similar to him. Moreover, he also didn't give up, despite losing all of his memories, and instead, strive to become much more stronger.
Although he is not clear about Ahmed's goal of becoming strong, he for sure could come to the conclusion that it is definitely something related to finding his memories.
”Fortunately, Brad here...” The Chief pulled Brad towards him, ”Didn't abandon Ahmed and helped him throughout the years. Such a kind-hearted disciple I have here, right?” He started laughing proudly.
”Stop it, Master!” Brad immediately felt embarrassed.
”.....”
Leo just let out a smile as he turned around and looked in the West direction. If he wants to escape this place and return back to Silver Kingdom, then he needs people to help him.
Looking at Ahmed, Leo quickly thought, ”And I will begin with you!”
”How about let's return back to training Magic Integration?” The Chief suggested, quickly pulling Leo out of his thoughts.
”Sure!” Leo happily nodded his head.
Walking back to the training ground, the Chief dismissed all of the Hybrids to give enough space for him to explain and demonstrate. Anyways, those people have already learned what he wanted to show to Leo, so instead of wasting time here, they should do something much more productive.
When the training ground was finally empty, the Chief looked at Leo as he said, ”I almost forgot to introduce myself, hehehe... I'm Lago, the Chief of Eclipse village.”
”You can just call me Leo!” Leo introduced. There was no need to hide his name anymore since Levi basically called out to him very loudly just a moment ago.
”Okay, Leo!” Chief Lago said as he proceeded to continue with the training.
”Going back to our topic before, Magic Integration is when you and the Magic spell itself becomes one. You see, before we can cast powerful Magic spells, we actually needed to chant their incantation first, which is usually very long, hence needing us a lot of time to finished. Such as for example...” Chief Lago put his hand upfront, ”I call upon the Nature Element, hear my call, grant this land your greens, Green Terrain!”
