I am the descendant of a dark wizard, and I will inherit the family fortune.

When Temodo saw that Leon did not take offense at his well-intentioned reminder, Temodo's loyalty to Leon increased a little.

If Leon's cheat code was data-related, then a bubble of "Loyalty +1" might have popped up above Temodo's head...

"Anyway... even our dean wouldn't want to provoke that family, so if we suffer a loss at their hands, the academy won't do anything..."

When Leon heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Our dean is at the fourth level, so they are also at the fourth level? Or...higher?"

Temodo shook his head. "I don't know the specific situation, but one thing is certain: that family still has the means to contact the SHIELD Kingdom."

"The Kingdom of S.H.I.E.L.D.? Didn't they already perish?" Leon frowned. At this moment, he began to question the records in the history books.

"The SHIELD Kingdom was indeed destroyed, but... as long as the royal family survives, the new empire is nothing more than old water in a new bottle..."

Temodo seemed a little resistant to this topic, so he took the initiative to change the subject.

"Although Professor Udoka didn't tell us what happened back then, according to rumors..."

When Temodo talked about this gossip, he leaned closer to Leon and said in a low voice: "That family intends to absorb him as a new member of the family."

"Ok?"

Leon was a little confused for a moment. Wouldn't it be good to enter a family that no one dared to offend? Isn't this a good thing?

Seeing Leon's reaction, Temodo quickly explained: "Your Excellency, you don't know. They are called members, but in fact they are star slaves..."

Leon: ...

"I thought they were attracted by Uduka's talent or bloodline, and wanted to take him in as their son-in-law, but if he's just going to be... a star slave, isn't that a bit of a waste?"

"Haha..." Temodo shook his head, his words full of sarcasm.

"What does it matter how good one's talent is? Can it compare to the so-called divine bloodline?

In order to preserve the purity of their divine bloodline, they strictly forbid intermarriage with outsiders. Of course, there's no need to forbid it, as they themselves despise outsiders...

Therefore, in their eyes, these geniuses from outside are merely qualified to become star slaves."

Temodo paused and lowered his voice again, "Also, I heard... the one who has taken a fancy to Professor Udoka is an old man who has lived for hundreds of years!"

Leon: ...

Hearing the news about the White Hair Family again, and unexpectedly in this way, Leon suddenly felt that... Professor Udoka's temper... wasn't that bad after all...

If it were someone else, they might be so angry that they would die.

Seeing Leon's shocked expression, Temodo's desire to share was satisfied.

He stood up straight and continued with a tone of deep regret, "If Professor Udoka hadn't gotten into trouble back then, he might still be your uncle, hmm... or even higher..."

"Huh? What does this mean?"

Leon didn't expect that he would have some connection with this person.

"Sir, Professor Udoka received a certain inheritance, and that inheritance has a lot to do with your teacher... or more precisely, your teacher's teacher."

"Renovation?"

Temodo nodded, "This should be it..."

As he was speaking, the black box on Temodo's body rang again.

Temodo looked at Leon, and when he saw Leon nodded, he connected the black box.

"Temodo, is everything okay on your end? The space gate is ready to open."

"no problem."

"it is good!"

Professor Udoka quickly agreed and immediately cut off the communication.

Temodo extended his hand toward Leon, "Sir, please follow me."

Leon was a little confused, but he still followed Temodo to the window, where he saw dozens of people standing scattered on the open space below.

There were barbarians and wizards, and Leon also saw Bertha looking over here.

This scared Leon, so he quickly dodged to the side.

At the same time, Leon couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Temodo.

Brother! What the hell! Can our relationship be made public?

"Professor Temodo, what are you doing?"

Temodo was also startled by Leon's big move, but when he saw Leon's reaction, Temodo realized that Leon had misunderstood what he meant.

So Temodo hurriedly explained to Leon: "Master Leon! Misunderstanding! You misunderstood!"

As Temodo spoke, he tapped lightly on the transparent glass at the window with his fingers.

"Please look, sir. This is the anti-reconnaissance glass specially developed by our academy. Only we can see from the inside. Others from the outside cannot see us."

"Anti-reconnaissance glass?" Leon walked to the window tentatively. Sure enough, Bertha just looked back and forth and didn't see him.

"The Burbanks have exceptional eyesight. Some can see us from a thousand or even several thousand meters away, so they developed this anti-reconnaissance glass."

"The detection of mental power..."

Temodo replied with praise, "Your Excellency is truly amazing! Indeed, this kind of glass can also block spiritual detection.

Sir, look here..."

Leon looked in the direction Temodo's finger was pointing, and saw a circle half the size of a palm at the corner of the glass.

And it's not just this corner, there is a circle on the top, bottom, left, right, and middle.

"It's precisely because of these magic arrays that it can be called anti-reconnaissance glass. Speaking of which, this is nothing. I know Miss Beatrice of the Sig family..."

Temodo paused, then continued:

"Miss Beatrice has an alchemy hut. It's said that every spot on that hut is engraved with at least one magic circle."

Leon nodded slightly, “I really want to see it.”

“Oh, it’s difficult, even I have only seen it once.

Because of its practicality and high value, Miss Beatrice values ​​it very much...

By the way, I heard that there is a special mark on the alchemy hut, which can ensure that it will not be lost..."

Leon knew that Temodo was intentionally reminding him of the value and hidden dangers of the hut, so he replied calmly:

"Before I joined the Potions Club, the Dueling Club had invited me. If I had known there was such a good thing in the Dueling Club, I would have thought about it again."

Temodo laughed. "This isn't the Dueling Club's property. It's Miss Beatrice's private property. But if you choose to join the Sig Chamber of Commerce, maybe you can go there and take a look."

"Alas... I missed it."

Temodo patted Leon's shoulder and said, "It's okay. Professor Dora is one of the professors I admire. If you follow Professor Dora, you will be able to see other good things in the future."

Leon nodded and was about to say something when he suddenly saw a commotion among the crowd below.

I saw a fist-sized blue halo appear in the open space.

Then the blue aperture continued to expand, and ripples continued to appear inside the aperture...

"The space gate is open."

Temodo pointed at the expanding space gate and said, "Master Leon, let's go over there too."

Hearing that Temodo was still calling him "Lord Leon", Leon couldn't help but frown.

"Professor Temodo, please go first."

Temodo was stunned for a moment, then nodded and took the first step.

Bertha waited and waited, but there was no sign of Leon, which made her a little anxious. She wanted to express her feelings again, but what was there to talk about with that old man!

It was not until she touched her slightly bloated belly that Bertha felt a little relieved.

She had already sent away two wizards who wanted to chat her up. While they made Bertha feel disgusted, they also gave her a strong sense of accomplishment.

At the same time, Bertha couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

If only Leon was there just now, he could see her charm...

Just as he was thinking about it, Professor Temodo walked out from inside, and Leon naturally followed closely behind him.

Bertha's eyes lit up, and then she didn't care about the looks of the people around her, and walked straight towards Leon!

"Leon!"

Perhaps because of her deeper understanding, Bertha was no longer as shy and unnatural as before when facing Leon, and no longer called Leon "Sir".

Of course, Bertha also knew that Leon was a real adult, but that was all said in private...

Ahem… Bertha quickly suppressed the distracting thoughts in her mind, then moved closer to Leon and said with a smile, “Leon, we’re back alive!”

See, for most wizards, just getting back alive is considered a success.

After all, the top twenty... are only twenty.

Leon looked at Bertha who was coming over and couldn't help frowning.

This woman...

Bertha didn't know whether it was because she was happy to be alive or because she was simply happy to see Leon, so she didn't notice Leon's mood change, but the sharp-eyed Professor Temodo...

As Leon's number one subordinate (that's what Temodo thought he was), how could he watch Bertha make his "lord" unhappy!

then……

Temodo suddenly intervened, came to Bertha's side and shouted: "Bertha! What are you doing? Hurry and get back to the team!"

Bertha was stunned. "Huh? What team? There's no team!"

Without even turning around, Temodo shouted, "Everyone! Stand in the same order as when you came here!"

Bertha: ...

She wanted to say something else, but under Temodo's stern gaze, Bertha felt extremely aggrieved. She looked at Leon, only to find that Leon was looking straight ahead and ignored her at all.

So, Bertha understood Leon's attitude and could only retreat in disappointment.

But even so, she kept looking back...

Perhaps she was still hoping that Leon would change his attitude and wave to her...

Unfortunately, that was just Bertha's expectation.

When Temodo saw Bertha leave, he smiled at Leon and then turned away.

Seeing the disorganized team, he angrily said, "What are you doing? There are only a few of us, and you can't even line up properly?"

The scolded little wizards looked at each other, and finally all turned their gazes to Temodo... and Leon behind him.

Leon was stared at by them all, and he was stunned. He thought there was something behind him, but when he turned around, there was nothing...

Temodo was also stunned for a moment, but when he took a look at the position in front of the space gate, he immediately understood.

He had seen a lot of these things, because in the academy, and not just in the academy, there was a clear class among wizards.

Some are based on status and class, some are based on strength...

Although he didn't know what class they assigned Leon, Temodo was happy about it. So he turned around and said to Leon:

"Leon...they are waiting for you."

Leon was very satisfied with Temodo's words. As long as their relationship was not exposed in public, it would be fine even if Temodo called him Little Leon.

But...are they waiting for me?

What are you waiting for me to do?

Leon passed Temodo, then one step, two steps, three steps...

He saw the beautiful space gate, and then saw a large open space in front of the space gate.

The remaining little wizards were looking at him, and Leon suddenly understood something.

Then he continued to move forward, and when he walked to the front of the space gate, the little wizards seemed to have found their home and returned to the team in an instant.

Leon stood at the head. He didn't look back, but his mental power had already allowed him to see the scene behind him clearly.

Even when he released his mental power to investigate, everyone (except Bertha)...all lowered their heads.

Even though Leon was in the queue, it was still Leon who inspected them.

Bertha's face was very red, and she looked at Leon's back with some excitement. This was her man!

She must have him! She must!

Temodo, who was standing aside and saw the whole process, suddenly realized that although he was old, his life... might have just begun?

This is a very absurd idea, but it just keeps lingering in my mind and won't go away.

Temodo looked at Leon's calm face and suddenly became a little dazed.

But he was different from Bertha. Temodo saw the second level and saw power...

Look at Bertha's worthless appearance, Temo is ashamed to be associated with her!

Thinking of this, Temodo coughed lightly and then quickly came to his senses.

"Ahem! Quiet!"

The already very quiet team became even quieter.

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing out of habit, Temodo spoke loudly: "You are all survivors of the second round of this Academy Cup.

I believe that everyone standing here has gained something different.

But I hope you all know that this is a new lesson you have learned, which is... Living is a victory!"

Temodo suddenly clapped his hands, "Pa~" x3

"So, victors, applaud yourselves!"

silence.

The huge venue was filled with an awkward atmosphere.

Just when Temodo was feeling a little embarrassed, crisp applause rang out.

"Pa!" X3

Temodo looked over when he heard the voice, and it was Leon!

And as Leon applauded, it was as if a switch was touched, and violent and enthusiastic applause suddenly broke out.

"Snap!"

This time, Temodo did not feel embarrassed, but was inexplicably excited.

Because... he saw it!

He saw the rise of a hegemon!
