”Can you repeat it again? It seems like I didn't hear it right. Did you just said you're inviting me to join the Mischievous Lion Guild as one of its Executives?” Elmont was having trouble believing what he had just heard from Leo.
”That's exactly what I have just said,” Leo said in confirmation.
”Hmmm...” Elmont pretended to be calm. Deep inside of him, he really doesn't know how to react. It wasn't really something impossible to do for him, but at the same time, it was also not something that he could just decide to accept right off the bat. This kind of decision should be considered thoroughly lest he would regret accepting it. In spite of that, he can't hide the fact that this was really interesting, so he continued, ”I'm not rejecting your offer, but I will be considering it. What I'm really curious though is why do you want to invite me to join the Mischievous Lion Guild?”
”Is it because I'm one of the princes of the Evergreen royal family, thus you could easily establish a business relationship with us? But that shouldn't be the case, right? Especially considering the fact that you can even call my father as uncle, and not to mention you have also chosen one of the exchanges after exchanging a Galaxy-level Magical Beast to the Evergreen royal family for a chance to establish a business relationship with us. Just with those two things alone, it completely negates the possibility that you are inviting me to join the Mischievous Lion Guild for benefits from the Evergreen royal family,”
”So, there should be another reason for this. And I'm guessing it is not as simple as because I'm a capable person or something minuscule as that,” Elmont finished speaking as his expression showed his obvious deep curiosity for Leo's reason for inviting him.
”Just like what I expected from you, Brother Elmont. You are not only smart but also a wise person,” Leo can't help but form a smile on his face. If it was someone else, then they would definitely think the same as what Elmont had said first. After all, inviting a prince to join a Guild indeed offers a lot of benefits to the Guild. However, that was obviously not his reason. He continued, ”In consideration of our relationship, I will not be hiding the exact reason for you. This also concerns your safety, so the more reason why I should be telling you this,”
Hearing Leo mentioning that this also concerns his safety, Elmont immediately became serious. He was still curious, but the thought of preventing danger from happening to him was what he really focused on at this point.
”I'm guessing that you already know the meaning of Special Mage, right?” Leo wanted to know something first before proceeding with his main point.
”Yes,” Elmont nodded his head, he then explained, ”Special Mages are the type of Mages who possessed unique capabilities that the majority of the Mages don't possess, thus the reason for the word 'Special',”
In the next second, Elmont suddenly thought of something, ”Are you saying that I'm actually a Special Mage?! But how? And what is my unique capability? No! This is impossible! I know myself better than anyone else, especially since knowing my capability is one of the requirements of being a battle fanatic-”
Elmont wanted to keep on talking, but Leo quickly interrupted his sentence. He said, ”Yes, you are a Special Mage. And the reason why you are unable to notice it might be related to you being a battle fanatic,”
”What does it got to do with me being a battle fanatic?” Elmont doubtfully asked.
”I'm not exactly sure if I'm indeed correct or not, but has there ever been a time where you feel like your body is going to explode with Mana all of a sudden? Like you have a high risk of experiencing overconsumption of Mana, which I'm guessing, is one of the reasons why you will find someone to battle against,” Leo knew for sure that Elmont was the holder of the unique capability of Gluttony. After all, the God of Fate will not suddenly activate his unique capability to communicate with him if Elmont wasn't really exactly what he thought him to be. So, last night, he thought of using a much more convincing and simple method to persuade Elmont, and this was what he had come up with.
”How did you know?” Elmont asked in surprise. He clearly remembered that aside from his father and Selina, he hasn't told anyone else about the strange thing that would suddenly happen to his body. But he quickly changed the topic, ”No.. that is not important. So you mean to say that this sudden spike of my Mana inside my body is what makes me a Special Mage?”
