Chapter 208 Flattery, Banville's Embers
"They will only think that we are deceiving them, that we are not willing to teach them the real skills, and that we are not willing to let them become proper wizards."
"However, they did not know that the growth of wizarding apprentices is closely related to our research as formal wizards."
"The further they go on the path of wizardry, the more successful our research on formal wizardry becomes."
Shafi said, "Although I do have some interest in Leo, there's a prophecy about him from the Tower Master. So what I truly value about him isn't his status as a Pros or a genius, but rather his future value to the Tower Master."
Upon hearing this, Plessy added, "That's what initially drew my attention to him. He's outstanding; for now, besides Fura, he's the person in the Tower of Dawn who best fits the prophecy."
Sophie said, "If he continues to grow stronger, there's a high probability he'll become a victim of the Tower Master's prophetic spell. Wizard Plessy, do you understand what I mean?"
Upon hearing this, Plessy's expression turned serious, and he said, "Of course, Wizard Sophie, I won't make the same mistake as Wizard Esmond. I won't invest my emotions in these wizarding apprentices."
"I will use Leo, but I will never invest any emotions in him or train him like a student."
"It would be best if you understood that."
Plessy began, "Witch Sophie, I'm personally not satisfied with the results of this grand gathering. I think Leo himself is more deserving of the honors compared to Banville's group."
Shafi nodded and said, "This matter was arranged poorly by Jin Deli and his group. Just do as you said, and award the reward to Leo."
"Then I will gather the others."
"Hmm, you handle this. I'm not interested."
Plessy quickly sent a wizard to inform the other wizards in the cabin.
Leo and Iris walked out side by side.
Elise looked Leo up and down and said, "Leo, you're acting strange. Were you injured before?"
Leo asked with a smile, "What's strange about it?"
"It's just that I feel like your mind isn't very focused, but at the same time, I feel like you're not distracted."
After Elise finished speaking, she scratched her face and said, "I feel like I'm talking incoherently too. Are you really okay?"
""
"It's nothing. I guess my ideas for some spells have been expanded, and I'm in good shape now," Leo said with a smile.
Leo is currently in a very special state, which is multitasking.
He is currently studying the illustrations while simultaneously thinking about or doing something else in his mind.
This ability to multitask stems from studying the spell pyramid encyclopedia.
This was an unexpected surprise for Leo.
This means that in the future, Leo won't have to wait to go back to learn the Pokédex; instead, he can learn it while working or doing research.
Even after mastering this skill, Leo could use it to learn while making potions.
This greatly improved Leo's learning efficiency.
Elise said, "How come you've gained something again? Compared to you, I feel like I'm not a genius at all, just an idiot."
"Iris sighed."
Compared to Leo, Elise felt a difference in their speed; when she ran quickly, Leo seemed to fly.
No matter how hard he tries, he can't catch up with Leo as he grows.
Leo said, "I'm just a little more flexible in my thinking. Elise, believe in yourself, you will become an excellent wizard."
"I don't feel any sincerity in your praise, only a strong sense of perfunctoriness."
Elise made a comment.
As the two were talking, several figures walked out from the side.
One of them was Banville, and the others were friends Banville had made during this big gathering. Although they weren't in the same team, they got along quite well.
They surrounded Banville and said, "Banville, although I know this grand gathering has hurt you a lot, you still have to pull yourself together as soon as possible."
"Brock Wizard certainly doesn't want you to be so dejected."
Banville may have been arrogant in the past, but he was actually quite nice to people he knew well.
Even though he has lost Brock as his backer, there are still many wizarding apprentices who are willing to maintain their friendship with him.
Banville said, "I need some time to calm down, but thank you anyway."
"Banville," a wizard patted Banville on the shoulder and said, "In any case, you have earned the title of genius wizard in the Grand Gathering, which means you were the most outstanding one in this Grand Gathering."
Banville nodded, a glimmer of light flashing in his otherwise lifeless eyes.
It's like going back to the past, becoming the most outstanding one among everyone, and being flattered by others.
Banville said, "The most outstanding wizard in this grand gathering was actually the wizard Leo. Moreover, Leo even killed King Socrates."
"That's not how it works. No matter how outstanding Leo's performance is, you are still the winner this time."
"Yes, Banville, you are the victor. Leo, in the end, is just a loser."
Leo's performance at the Grand Assembly was outstanding.
As a result, some wizards began to envy Leo.
Those like Banville, who have a formal wizard father as a backer, and geniuses like Sephiroth, with level 6 mental strength, can accept losing to Banville or Sephiroth.
But what gives Leo the right?
A wizard who has only been an apprentice for three months has already attracted so much attention, which naturally aroused their jealousy.
However, these wizards' jealousy of Leo was not without other factors.
Leo is outstanding, so it's natural that he would arouse jealousy.
But the most important thing is that Leo is disliked and targeted by the official wizards, which is the main reason why these people show their dislike for Leo without any restraint.
Perhaps a formal wizard wouldn't care about their gesture of goodwill, but they still felt in their hearts that such a gesture would be noticed by a formal wizard.
Upon hearing their words, Elise immediately hissed at the wizards and said, "Hey, what do you guys mean? In terms of the outcome, it was Leo who killed King Socrates, and this Banville was also defeated by Leo. Why do you say that Leo is inferior to this Banville?"
"Ignore her, she's with Leo."
"Just ignore her. The winner has already been decided, Banville. There's no need to argue with her."
Seeing that they were ignoring her, Elise was about to continue breathing on them.
Leo pulled her back and said, "Forget it, Elise, there's no need to argue with them about this."
Leo knew what Plessy's purpose was in summoning them, so he only found the wizards' words amusing and felt no anger whatsoever.
However, that wasn't the main reason why Leo didn't bother with them.
Having gone through this grand gathering, Leo has gained a certain understanding of formal wizards.
He also learned that the relationships between the wizard apprentices of the Tower of Dawn were not as simple as he had imagined.
It's quite possible that the wizard apprentice that Leo is arguing about today is actually involved in the research of a formal wizard.
It's always best to be cautious when doing things.
