"Lord Leon..."

Bertha said in a soft voice: "Sir, you are not hurt, are you?

You've been working so hard out there, and I'm so useless. I can't help you, and I can't share your worries..."

As she spoke, Bertha blinked and seemed about to burst into tears.

"Master Leon, you won't dislike me, will you?"

Leon: ...

Looking at Bertha's deliberate gesture, Leon nodded, "A little bit..."

Bertha: ???

Leon is not a hungry ghost. He doesn't want to have too much contact with Bertha, who obviously approaches him with a purpose.

So Leon took two steps sideways to avoid Bertha sticking to him.

Seeing that Leon was deliberately distancing himself from her, Bertha suddenly became anxious.

She has already experienced the life she wants, for example... the professor has to be nice to her!

So Bertha really didn't want to give up, especially since she had previously boasted to Temodo that her relationship with Leon was more than just ordinary classmates...

On the other side, although Temodo was talking to Professor Solian, he was also paying attention to this place.

Seeing the performance of the two, Temodo couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, then he untied the soundproofing magic circle and waved to Leon.

"Leon, come here!"

Leon followed his instructions and returned to Professor Temodo. "Professor Thorian across the street is in Camp 3. The other members of your Potions Club are currently with him."

The "disappeared" Potions Club...finally reappeared.

Temodo smiled and said, "Your Potions Club is quite interesting... I've already told Professor Thorian about your arrival at Camp No. 2, and Professor Thorian has also informed the Potions Club waiting outside Camp No. 3..."

At this time, Professor Solen took over the conversation, "Leon, right? Your top 20 ranking has been confirmed.

The young wizards from my Potions Club have already herded the rest of the group in. Oh? They're coming in now too.

Oi! Kaiyan! Come here! "

The sound of footsteps rang out, followed by Professor Solian's voice, "Come and talk to Leon from your club."

The black box was silent for a few seconds before Kaiyan's voice was heard.

"Leon... Sir, we have entered Camp No. 3..."

Leon: ...

Leon didn't know what to say. Perhaps his memories as a worker had awakened, so he simply replied, "Got it."

Professor Solian chuckled, "So, Leon, follow Professor Temodo's instructions from now on."

On the other side, Solen put away the black box and wondered with some confusion: Is this Dora's student very special?

Otherwise, why would Temodo be so concerned and even ask me to "endorse" it...

……

"Leon, congratulations, you've made it into the top 20 of the second round. Although there's no strict ranking for the second round, if I were to rank you... you'd definitely be in the top three."

Leon replied somewhat uncomfortably, "Professor Temodo, there's also the Witchcraft Club... and the Dueling Club!"

Leon has always been cautious about compliments. It's okay with people he's familiar with, but for those he's not familiar with... Leon would wonder if he's flattering...

Temodo looked at Leon with a half-smile. "Camp One is responsible for taking over the Witchcraft Club, but... this time the Witchcraft Club should be the biggest winner. What do you think?"

Leon nodded, then looked at Temodo calmly, "The Witchcraft Club is one of the three major clubs after all, it's normal."

"Haha, okay, I don't mean anything else, come with me."

……

This was Leon's first time inside the camp. He had originally thought there would be some special buildings inside, but when he came in and took a look...

Ordinary residential houses and also tents.

Some families hang food out to dry at the door, while others hang it on the roof.

The reason why Leon felt that this was the territory of the barbarians was... their customs.

In front of a house, everyone was dancing happily.

Temodo told Leon that there was a happy event in this family, so the surrounding neighbors and relatives and friends celebrated for him together.

Leon didn't know what happy event they had, but the celebration ceremony really opened his eyes.

Around a burning bonfire, the barbarians were wrestling with their bare chests, and the winner...would get the right to interfere in public.

"Well, what do you think of that barbarian woman? She must be one of the most beautiful barbarian women in this camp."

Leon waved his hands repeatedly to refuse, but Temodo chuckled, "According to their customs, since you have passed by their door, you must join them. You don't have to give gifts, just a blessing will be fine!"

After saying that, Temodo walked to the door of the house and said something loudly.

But Leon didn't understand, and guessed it was the barbarians' own language.

The master was very happy, especially since they obviously knew Temodo's identity, so everyone gathered around, some speaking the "wizard language" which they were not yet proficient in, and some simply knelt on the ground to express their obedience and respect.

The most surprising thing is that the winner of the wrestling match just now gave his "companion" to Temodo...

Temodo laughed heartily and ran back to Leon.

"How about it?"

Leon: ...

“Very enthusiastic.”

Temodo smiled and patted his clothes. "It's very enthusiastic. Among the worlds and races we rule, the barbarians are the most useful."

"Because they can't be wizards?"

"Oh? You actually know this... Yes, this is indeed a very important reason why they have no ability to threaten us."

As they walked, Temodo continued to explain, “Besides this, the barbarians…are not very smart.

They also believe in the strong and have no concept of outsiders or invaders."

Leon looked back at the still bustling crowd and said, "But there will always be someone who becomes...smarter."

"Are you worried they'll rebel?

Yes, there are indeed barbarians who know how to learn and think, but such smart people are too conspicuous among a group of barbarian bears, so they can just be pulled out and killed.

Besides, even if we don’t do anything, they might do it themselves.”

Leon was a little surprised, "Why?"

“Because they like us and appreciate us.

So if someone tells them to kill us together...

What do you think will happen?

Temodo pointed to the food hanging on the doors or roofs of every household and said, "Look, we feed them and give them a place to live..."

Temodo pointed to the patrolling guards and continued, "We give them something to do, so they can demonstrate their worth. Shouldn't they like us and be grateful to us?"

Leon: ...

Temodo patted Leon’s shoulder and said, “That’s all I have to say. You are still young and you will understand it later.

By the way, do you know what will happen to that woman just now?"
