31 Arriving To The City (2/2)

Beep Beep Beep!

-Your Bronze Skin just leveled up by 1-

Seeing this message from the screen, gave even more hope to Leo as he withdrew the red potion Jack gave back to him, Leo took a single sip and completely recovered. Now facing his opponent, he felt revitalized and even stronger now that his body had been tampered.

”According to the test rules, you are only allowed to use a sip of that potion one time. We used to not allow this, but for commoners to invest so much money into a potion shows the alliance how much their personal wealth would be. Now come again and hope that you do not sustain any permanent injuries!” the Crimson expert shouted out towards Leo in provocation.

With his body now in its peak state once again, Leo dashed towards his opponent with only his sword. This surprised the group who were spectating this test.

”Why would he not use both of his weapons at a time like this?” the witch said in a shocking expression.

”You might not have seen it, but there was poison on that dagger. Although that would give him an edge if he landed even a tiny scratch, he must be thinking about how we would react. It is a very smart move on his part, and for him to have two potions and a valuable weapon such as that coupled with his decent level of strength for his age. I absolutely support him in joining the alliance, if he is given a failing grade, I will simply poach him and recruit him into our household!” the Mist household executive proclaimed in excitement!

Usually the alliance would recruit any commoner who held enough strength or who held enough personal wealth. If a commoner had enough strength, they would one day be able to accumulate wealth not just for themselves, but also for the alliance.

Plus, if a commoner had enough personal wealth, they would be able to afford new and hard to find training methods and equipment. Either way, the alliance would benefit over time having any expert who fit either of these categories. Leo showed that he had both, but he still appeared as only ten years old. This meant that any household in the city would welcome him into their ranks with open arms!

”He passed.” The Moon executive said in a calm manner. This was not something that any of the others within the group argued with because what was now happening shocked them all!

Back on the test grounds, Leo pushed the Crimson executive hard enough to where he withdrew his weapon to defend himself. What scared the Crimson executive the most, was that he used a similar kick to try to send Leo flying back again. Once he released that kick and landed the blow, Leo's body shook, but was not sent away!

Of course, this opponent of his was not using nearly close to his full power, but for a younger kid to show this much potential and to even show some unusual and visible growth, gave this expert the chills.

”Enough!” retreating backwards, the Crimson expert called out to Leo as he placed himself in a strange defensive stance. ”You pass the test so stay your hand before I am forced to hurt you!”

Now being approached by the rest of the group, Leo and the Crimson household expert did not show any signs that they could not continue onwards to the city, so without wasting anymore time, the group set off once again.

”Whoa! Is that what I think it is?” seeing a massive wall in front of him that spanned further than his eyes could even see, the group finally managed to make it back to the city several hours later!

”Hehe, yep! That is our city, I hope it does not scare you too much!” chuckling, Jack patted Leo on the shoulder in a playful manner. Natalia landed close to them and put her arm around Leo as well to bring him back down.

”It is magnificent!” praised Leo as the group headed towards the entrance to the city.

Note from the author:

Volume 1 will be ending within 6 chapters from now. Once Volume 1 ends, I will be taking a two day break. However, before Volume 2 begins, I will be leaving a short teaser as well as the official title of Volume 2.

I do not want to give any details away for Volume 2 yet, but do note that Volume 1 was just a warm introduction to this story, and Volume 2 will be when the ”real” adventure begins. So if you have enjoyed Volume 1, you had better strap yourselves in!

As always, thank you so much for all of the support and making this novel as popular as it has become. Could not have done it without each and everyone one of you! -dff123
