章節 7: 5 Years later

5 Years went by as leo was focused on training and getting stronger.

One day Mira told leo to explore the outer world and see how the world really is

"You will join the 'Astralis Academy' as it's one of the best place for you to gather information about your parents and make network. Physical strength is just a form of power. you need to gain influence and build network once you go out there are gonna be people who are gonna come after without any reason do know why?" Mira looked at

Leo who became much taller around 5'4 despite being 11 years of age he had muscular build and his black obsidian hair flowed down to his shoulder length his facial features somewhat mature but still had some softness.

Leo responded " One because they see me as a commoner and look down on me and try to bully me. Second because am stronger than those so called spoiled brats and since I threaten their position they will try to remove me either through hook or crook"

Mira smiled and said " Good i guess taking you out to the crimsonspire city and getting you interact with those nobels made you understand theirs politics and thoughts but one thing not all nobles are like that."The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either—but right through every human heart."

During the past 5 years leo learned many things from Mira not fighting and getting stronger but about politics about how to talk and behave for these she made him attend a few banquets he understood everything clearly how the world works.

One have ENORMOUS amount of wealth and INFLUENCE then can keep control of a lot of things

Second GOOD LOOKS it can give you a lot of chance to interact with nobels or even royalties thus being safe from external influence

Third is STRENGTH pure unfiltered strength and power to create violence it can give birth to fear in the hearts of many

He also learned about the world and its empires . We live in continent called Lunarhaven continent in this continent there are many empires two there are empires that stand at the very top Zephyrblade and Eldergrove empire .

Zephyrblade empire is ruled by King Arlfed zephyrblade he is the man who reached Sage level in the empire there are also 5 Nobel families who have a Sage with them

The families are :

Vermillion

Duskbane

Ravenwood

Ashthorne

Stormwind

And the Eldergrove empire is a place ruled by an organisation called Crimson Syndicate. They try are mysterious organisation that not only specialize in hiring assassins but also do human experiment do create mutant of monsters and humans but one thing is for sure they are upto something

Leo was remembering everything mira told him .Leo was snapped out of thoughts by Mira " you have to start your journey to go the zephyrblade empire and reach the city of pheonix i will give you a letter go and give it the principal of academy he will let you join the academy " as she said she handed over the letter to leo and said with some concern"Go and found out about your parents and be saf-" leo cut her out and said with confidence"I know am not weak anymore i can fight the small monsters off"

Mira got angry for being abruptly cut she held his head and started squeezing it hard

"Ahhhhhhhhhh" leo screamed in pain

"Listen here kid when I talk you don't cut me in middle do you understand that?"

Yes yes ahhhh why are you squeezing my head harder ?"

"Because you need to learn your lesson "

She let go of his head

Leo turned towards her and embraced Mira in a tight hug and said " thanks for everything I will be back once i find out about my parents whereabouts" he immediately let go of her and turned to pack his things Mira was stunned for a minute but had a beautiful smile on her face and said " you really know how to melt a girls heart don't you"

Leo hearing this had a smug face and said " huh! look who is calling herself a girl despite being past 30 years of age

Mira immediatly kicked leo on the butt and made him fly a few meters off the ground

Leo fell down but had no scratch on his body

Leo responded " ok ok am sorry am sorry I won't say it again "

Mira sighed and gave a helpless smile 'this kid will definitely get in trouble with ladies'

Leo stood on the ground cleaned the dust on his clothes and went to pack again this time Mira came gave him a ring " keep this ring with you it will help you when you need it"

Leo took the ring and wore it the ring had ruby stone on it inside it contained something powerfull he didn't what it was but he sensed te sheer amount of mana in it

"Thank you master"

Mira turned around and went inside the hut and said " if you wanna thankfull just come back safe "

" I will " leo responded and took hopped on the horse and went off with a map in his hand and a normal sword on his waist

as he looked at the route map in his hand

" It will take around 5 days of journey form here to zephyrblade empire and another 3 days to reach the pheonix city " he closed the map and rode his horse to reach his destination

What he didn't know was that this journey will bring a lot changes in his life
