Chapter 176: Defeating the Scarlet Academy

"I defiled Lia? Are you blind or what? Clearly she was the one who defiled me!" Leo refuted this student's outrageous claims.

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! I don't want to hear it!" The student shouted.

Leo sighed, "Forget it. I'm too tired to deal with your bullshit. Let's just get this over with."

The buzzer resounded a moment later, and before his opponent could even finish casting his spell, Leo blew him off the stage with his Flame Wall and Fire Blast strategy, defeating his opponent in less than 10 seconds.

He would repeat this three more times with the next three fighters until there were no more opponents and the Four Witches Academy gained their 12th point.

"Good job, Leo. Now that we have defeated the Scarlet Academy, our spot in the first place is pretty much guaranteed." Eve said to him when he returned.

"How many more matches do we have to fight until this whole tournament ends?" He asked her.

"Just two more."

"So two more days at most, huh?"

"Yes."

The Four Witches Academy returned to their waiting room shortly after.

But before they left, Leo felt a glare filled with killing intent directed at him from somewhere, causing him to shudder.

Unbeknownst to him, this stare came from Edwin, Lia's butler, who had witnessed the whole situation from the shadows.

'How dare that commoner defile the Young Lady… How dare that commoner defile the Young Lady... How dare that commoner defile the Young Lady… How dare that commoner defile the Young Lady…'

'I am going to kill that bastard... I am going to kill that bastard… I am going to kill that bastard... I am going to kill that bastard…'

'Leo Magnus, you fucking bastard… Leo Magnus, you fucking bastard… Leo Magnus, you fucking bastard…'

Almost as though his mind had malfunctioned, Edwin could only repeat these few sentences inside his head.

In his entire life, he has never felt such hatred towards someone before— not even when he was pissed off by Leon.

Fortunately for Leo, Edwin didn't know he was also Leon. If he did, heaven knows how he'll react.

Once they returned to the waiting room, Eve said to Leo, "We're going to relocate your place so you won't need to go back to that hotel today."

"Is this because I showed off a little too much?" He asked.

"Yes, but it is also because of what happened between you and Lia. Once the Scarlet Family learns about what has happened, they will undoubtedly try to contact you, and things might get out of hand."

"Damn it… I knew it… That Lia— she's nothing but trouble…" Leo sighed out loud.

He glanced at Lilith and said to her, "I knew I shouldn't have listened to your nonsense! Look at what you have done! If you didn't make me feel guilty about making her cry, none of this would've happened!"

Lilith shrugged, "How was I supposed to know that she was going to kiss you? I'm a spirit, not a fortune teller. And letting her cry is just as bad as kissing her, not to mention that you had also defeated her. Either way, you were going to have to deal with the Scarlet Family, so you might as well get a kiss out of it."

Sometime later, Kevin approached him and asked, "Since when did you share a thing with Lia Scarlet?"

"I don't want to talk about this anymore. Leave me alone." Leo said before closing his eyes on the couch, pretending to go to sleep.

In the end, the Four Witches Academy did not have to fight for a second time that day and returned to their hotel at the end of the day.

However, Leo did not return to his hotel and followed Eve to her hotel, which was countless times nicer than the hotels the students were staying at.

"You'll be staying with me until we return to the academy," she said to him.

"I'm going to live with you?" Leo asked for confirmation.

"That's right. Since this is a suite, we have plenty of room."

"I understand."

Later that night, Leo and Eve shared the dining table in their hotel room.

"Leo, I have been wanting to ask you this, but how did you remain essentially unscathed from that falling attack? Besides Fire Barrier, you don't have any defensive spells, and I think I saw some golden flame on your body the moment before you smashed into the stage."

"Ummm… Actually…"

Leo proceeded to give her an excuse, something he had plenty of time to think about just in case she asked him.

"When I explored that cave with Nina and discovered the Elder's Legacy, we actually found something else— a Tier 7 magic circle for the magic spell Divine Flame Fortification, and that is what I used to protect myself from that attack."

"D-Divine Flame Fortification?!" Eve exclaimed after hearing this magic spell.

"That is an ancient magic spell that has been lost for hundreds of years now! Is it really Divine Flame Fortification?! Can I see it?!" She asked him in an excited voice, almost like a child at the amusement park for the first time.

"Sure…" Leo showed off the spell to her.

"Amazing… What beautiful flames…" Eve stared at his fiery body with an enchanted look on her face, seemingly mesmerized by his golden flames.

"This spell boosts my defenses tremendously, but it only lasts for 30 seconds." Leo explained.

"Thirty seconds is a long time. Do you know how many times a person can die in that amount of time? A lot." Eve said.

Sometime later, she asked him, "Leo, do you think you can sell me the magic circle for Divine Flame Fortification? I will pay you generously for it. Of course, you can refuse."

"Eh?" Leo looked at her with a perplexed expression on his face.

"Umm… Can you give me some time to think about it?" He then asked.

"Of course. Take as long as you need." She nodded. "And don't think that I will treat you any differently if you refuse. I am not that unreasonable and petty."

"I understand."
