Two hours later, Leo and Cassandra finally arrived at Sword and Magic.

Madam Silva was busy when they came, so she just told them that Alicia, the receptionist they had met two days ago, would guide them to complete their enrollment.

Alicia at this moment wasn't wearing her usual receptionist outfit that somewhat looked like that of a maid. She was wearing a cute yellow dress with a sunflower as her hairpin.

Leo can't help nodding his head.

Cassandra quickly pinches Leo's side after hearing his rating as she thought, "What an annoying guy!"

After exiting Sword and Magic, they took a carriage prepared for them to get to the Silver Mage Academy.

It only took them a short while to arrive at one of the gates of the Silver Mage Academy, since the Academy was somewhat near to the business district.

Getting out of the carriage, Leo instantly became amused by the marvelous scenery of the Silver Mage Academy as his eyes laid eyes over the place.

It was more like a garden than a school. Though there were still buildings around, nature still occupied the majority of the entire Silver Mage Academy. It wouldn't be an underestimate if this place makes people feel calm while walking inside.

As if to confirm such a description, Cassandra had almost forgotten her worries inside.

Alicia guided Leo and Cassandra toward the Admission Office to sign some papers to finally complete their enrollment.

The Admission Office was located at the very east part of the entire Silver Mage Academy. Arriving at the Admission Office, Leo didn't know whether he should laugh or not.

"It makes people feel poor," Leo said in a remark.

The place they called the office at Silver Mage Academy was an entire building.

That's right! The Admission Office was not a room with an open window to receive people, a huge office, or just a hall like what he had expected. It was instead an entire huge building.

"The Second Prince truly knows how to make people feel the prestige of his Academy through its buildings alone!" Leo said as he almost felt dubious of his title as a Noble. He realized after looking at the so-called Admission Office that the Heart Manor actually can't even compare to its size alone.

Leo shook his head as he went inside. He thought in his mind, "One day, I would also create something this size for my horse! Let's see whether the Second Prince could still act proudly of his Admission Office in front of me."

Many people were actually like Leo when they first came here. Swearing that they will make a house, a building, a tower, or similar infrastructure for their pets. What they didn't know though that even if they could indeed achieve something more than the Second Prince's Admission Office, those would still be nothing compared to what he made for his Dog.

After signing a few papers to complete his enrollment, Leo then bid farewell to Alicia before walking in a random direction with Cassandra.

Both of them wanted to explore the entirety of the Silver Mage Academy.

"What other amusing things would this Second Prince have in his Silver Mage Academy!"

Leo and Cassandra started walking towards the west of the Silver Mage Academy since the Admission Office was located in the very east.

.....

When the surroundings finally became dark, Leo was feeling dumbfounded inwardly as he realized that he was actually only able to explore half of the entire Silver Mage Academy.

Leo and Cassandra had been walking for an entire morning and afternoon, yet they were still only able to explore half of the entire Academy!

Just how huge was this plot of land for them to only be able to travel half and not its entirety?!

What really shocked Leo though was a Palace in the middle of a man-made lake. Based on what he had heard from one of the people around, that Palace was actually for the Second Prince's Dog.

What sort of bullshit was that? Even a Dog has a palace! In that case, can they still be called a Noble Household if they can't even compare to a mere Dog?

Leo could only shake his head. He finally realized that comparing himself to the Second Prince would just make him feel poorer and poorer.

A Palace for a Dog? Leo was planning to make a building for his Horse one day. But, look at the Second Prince, he has a Palace for his freaking Dog!

Since it was already getting dark, Leo and Cassandra walked out of the Silver Mage Academy to return to Sword and Magic to bid farewell and to say their gratefulness to Madam Silva.

After exploring the Silver Mage Academy, Leo became extremely grateful to Madam Silva. Her investment wasn't only enrolling him at Silver Mage Academy, but also giving him bigger opportunities in the future. He promised himself that he wouldn't be wasting the chance that she had given to him.

'Since you see potential in me, then I promise you that it will not be wasted!' Leo swore in his heart.

Leo and Madam Silva talked for a minute after they arrived at Sword and Magic. But, due to Leo's stomach sounding because of hunger, he could only bid farewell to her unwillingly as he and Cassandra went to a nearby restaurant to eat their dinner.

They weren't able to take their lunch a while ago because they were busy and fully focused on exploring half of the entire Silver Mage Academy.

Now that they were already planning to go back to Heart City and the evening was fast approaching, they might as well just take their lunch slash dinner in one of the nearby restaurants before finally going back home.

Leo was already familiar with the restaurants around Silver City. After all, he had always visited the Silver City to sell the Magical Beast he had hunted before.

Soon, they arrived in front of a medium-sized restaurant.

The restaurant's name was Crescent Moon Dining.

Crescent Moon Dining was just an average restaurant. Its service wasn't something you can call the best, but it also wasn't poor. The most important thing that Leo remembered about this restaurant was its food. It was definitely top-notch, at least for him.

When they arrived, Leo picked the most unnoticed place possible. He doesn't want to sit in the middle, or the center when he's eating in a restaurant. To be exact, he doesn't want to sit in any place that easily attracts attention. He always preferred the corner spot since it was silent and no one would bother with him. Also, the view from the restaurant's corner was good since it allowed him to observe the entire restaurant and the street outside.

The moment Leo sat in his chair, a waiter immediately came to their table to take their order.

"Good evening, sir Leo, may I take your order?" The waiter greeted with familiarity. Leo was a frequent visitor of Crescent Moon Dining, hence the staff working in the restaurant was already familiar with him.

Leo nodded his head as he quickly ordered a few dishes and a soup for himself before he turned around towards Cassandra to inquire about her order.

"What do you want to eat?" Leo asked Cassandra, who was currently sitting opposite him.

"The same as yours," Cassandra answered nonchalantly before turning her attention towards the window.

Looking at Cassandra's reaction, the waiter can't help but think inside his mind, "Young Master Leo would definitely not succeed in his courting just based on how she is currently treating him."

Of course, Leo didn't know his thoughts. Even if he does, he would just be laughing loudly. Cassandra was his slave, not someone he was courting. If he wants something from her, then he could just order her and she would give it to him no matter how unwilling she would feel. Of course, he wasn't that type of person.

After hearing Cassandra's cold reply, Leo didn't pay any further attention to her anymore as he turned around and told the waiter to bring two of each dish he had ordered.

After the waiter left their table, a group of five men suddenly went inside the restaurant.

Leo wasn't planning on paying any attention to the five men, but he soon noticed that the moment the five men came in, they then started walking in his direction.

Naturally, Leo became curious about such actions, hence his attention immediately focused on them.

As soon as the five men arrived in front of Leo, a man in his thirties suddenly spoke up arrogantly, "Piss off kid and you won't get into trouble!"
