Chapter 90: Fruit of Magic Awakening(2)

“The Fruit of Magic Awakening is a legendary artifact that can grant someone a new magic affinity, whether they already have one or not. In other words, if someone who cannot use magic consumes this artifact, they will be able to use magic, and if someone who can already use magic consumes it, they will have a new magic affinity.” Eve explained to Leo with a smile on her face.

“I see… If I consume something like that, I will be able to explain why I can suddenly use magic…” Leo mumbled.

“Wait a minute!” Camille suddenly said. “The Fruit of Magic Awakening is just a legend. It doesn’t actually exist— at least nobody has been able to prove its existence before.”

“Really?” Leo looked at Eve with raised eyebrows.

Eve nodded, “Yes, she’s right. The Fruit of Magic Awakening is just a legend. However, while nobody can prove it exists, nobody can prove that it doesn’t exist either, and there are many people out there who believe in its existence. In order to ‘prove’ that you’ve consumed the Fruit of Magic Awakening, you’re going to do it in front of the students!”

Leo’s jaw dropped to the ground after hearing her last sentence.

“You want me to eat something that is supposed to be a legend in front of the students?”

“Indeed. Of course, it’s not going to be a real Fruit of Magic Awakening. It’s just a fake meant to fool everyone.”

“And where am I going to acquire something like that? Or are you going to tell me to eat an apple in front of everyone and claim it’s the Fruit of Magic Awakening?”

Eve chuckled, “That would work as well, but in order to convince the students, you’ll have to consume something that nobody will recognize. Don’t worry, I will handle the fake Fruit of Magic Awakening. I’ll let you know when it’s ready, and until then, continue to keep your magic a secret.”

“Okay…” Leo nodded.

“Are you sure this is a good idea? I should’ve told you this earlier, but there are people out there who are hunting him…” Camille suddenly said.

p??d? “Huh? What are you talking about?” Eve asked with a questioning expression on her face.

Camille proceeded to tell Eve about Leo’s fake identity ‘Leon’ and how he is being hunted by an unknown party.

Eve stared at Camille with a dumbfounded gaze as she listened.

“I see… It would definitely raise some eyebrows if two people with S-Rank dark magic affinity show up in the same city in such a short timeframe. However, I wouldn’t be too worried. The chances may be low, but it’s not impossible. Also, Leo already has a reputation in the city. Those people after Leon won’t suspect Leo.”

“Why don’t we let the person himself decide? What do you think, Leo? Do you want to use magic openly, or do you wish to continue using magic in secrecy?” Eve turned to look at him.

“I…”

Leo pondered for a moment before speaking, “I want to be able to use magic without needing to sneak around like I am some kind of criminal. It’s not good for my heart, and I’m sure that the truth will be revealed in the future, so I might as well do it now to get it out of the way.”

Eve nodded and turned to look at Camille, “You heard him, Camille. What do you have to say?”

Camille sighed, “What is there to say? He’s already made up his mind. Not to mention you’re here to help as well.”

“Then it’s decided.” Eve said with a smile.

“Anyways, now that all of this is out of the way, tell me more about your world, Leo! What is it like?”

“Well…”

Leo proceeded to tell Eve about his original world, how it was basically the same as this world but without magic and monsters.

“Wait… So you never used magic or fought monsters before coming to this world? It hasn’t been that long since you came to this world, yet you’re already this powerful? Your potential is even higher than the old Leo…” Eve swallowed nervously after realizing just how ridiculously talented Leo was.

After pondering for a moment, she continued, “Leo, want to continue training with me?”

“Huh?”

“You saw how much you’ve improved after training with me for a week, right? If you continue training with me, I can guarantee you that you’ll become an A-Rank Adventurer within three months.”

“But Miss Camille is training me…” He looked at Camille, who was calmly sitting beside him.

“Leo, I have nothing more to teach you. Besides giving you some advice, I really don’t know what else to teach you. You’re my first student, so I don’t really know how to teach people. However, Headmistress Eve is a different story. She’s trained multiple S-Rank Adventurers before, and she’s even the Headmistress of the Four Witches Academy, one of the most prestigious academies in the city. You’ll definitely acquire more experience if you train with her.” Camille said to him.

However, Leo still remained hesitant for some reason.

Seeing this, Eve smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Camille will still be in charge of taking care of you even if you train with me. That’s what you’re worried about, right? That she might leave you.”

Leo immediately blushed after hearing her words.

“W-What are you talking about!? Of course that’s not it!”

“Then you’ll accept my training?”

He nodded with a red face, “Yes.”

“We will begin your training after the Wilderness Training Course, got it?” Eve said.

“I understand.”

After talking for a little longer, Leo and Camille left the Headmistress’ office.

“Are you prepared for the Wilderness Training Course?” Camille asked him.

“I’m not sure. What do you recommend I bring with me?” he asked.

Camille stopped walking and looked at him with a puzzled face.

“You know that you’ll be staying out there for the whole duration of the training course, right? This means you’ll camp out in the Wilderness. You’ll need to prepare your own tent and other stuff.”

“Now that you mention it…” Leo began sweating when he realized just how unprepared he was for the training course.

Camille rubbed her eyes and sighed, “Alright, let’s go shopping.”

Thus, they left the academy to go shopping at the Stellar Terminal.
