Chapter 262: Age Detection (2/2)

”This…”

The Earth Magus turned a helpless eye toward the stands. Obviously, he didn't have the ability to cast [Age Detection].

At that moment, several cold gazes flashed within the 21-30 group. It was nearly imperceptible, but Leonel caught onto a few, causing him to sneer within his heart.

The longer he spent in this new world order, the more he learned about how useless ideas of law and justice were.

”Leonel, right? How about this. You're so powerful to begin with. Whether you participate in the lower or middle age bracket, the result will be the same. Why not just allow things to proceed as is?”

Leonel almost laughed in response.

”If that's the case and the result is the same regardless, why not just let me participate in the lower age bracket?”

The Earth Magus was helpless. He was really hoping that Leonel would just take a step back. But, who knew where this child gained enough guts to be so contentious before the eyes of so many elites?

In the end, he could only look toward the stands for guidance.

Pope Margrave watched on with an amused light in his eyes. He found Leonel to be quite interesting. From what he knew, this child was quite clever. If he was doing this, it meant he realized he was likely being targeted and simply didn't care to continue being respectful.

Finally, someone from above stepped forward. When Leonel saw who it was, his internal sneer only deepened.

”Three Star Official Magus Leonel is an orphan. His age is unknown. Judging by his level of strength and his accomplishments, it was decided that he would be allocated to the middle age bracket. This will mitigate the risk to other youths. In addition, it's believed that he has the strength necessary to protect himself.”

Leonel didn't have much of a reaction to these words.

”I would like to ask for my age to be confirmed, please.”

Lamorak, who had obviously been the one to stand out, narrowed his gaze.

”The decision has been made.”

”Is that so?” Leonel asked. ”Are you certain?”

Lamorak's aura suddenly became sharp.

”I can just cast it myself if it's really so troublesome.” Leonel said as though not noticing Lamorak's expression.

Before anyone could react, a strong wind surged around Leonel.

One second… two… three..

SHUUU!

A light formed around Leonel's body as motes of light began to form from his body.

The lights grew in number and gathered. Soon, the spell dimmed, leaving the truth apparent for all to see.

18 motes of light. The 19th barely formed before collapsing.

Not only was it clear that Leonel was only 18 years old, it was obvious that he was only about half way to 19.

Lamorak's brow twitched.
