E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 86 - Aselica Magic Academy
"Are you leaving?" Leo asked Lucas, who began to fix his luggage. This includes books borrowed by Leo.
"That's how. I still need to stop by the Guild for some business, then go to the next town to pick up my materials." Reply Lucas.
Leo who heard that could only sigh. Seeing how busy the life of an alchemist truly dedicated himself to medicine was.
"Well.... Bother too, huh? What about the holy water?" Ask Leo curiously.
"Said they were finished 4 days ago and left the goods in the Guild. This time I intend to test the truth of the material." Reply Lucas.
The chance that the adventurer cheated did exist. But Lucas didn't think that far. And even if it did, Lucas could demand that the Guild remove their permission and rank for good.
After that brief farewell, Leo and Claire left the inn.
And Leo himself?
He returned to his job as usual.
......***......
Morning is too early. Even the sun has not illuminated the world.
But nevertheless....
‘Srruugg!!’
Something seemed to be writhing around his body. Something warm and also quite soft. That's what made Leo open his eyes a little earlier this morning.
In front of him, there was a beautiful girl. Even her still-asleep face was cute to Leo, making her unable to resist looking at him for a while before fully waking up.
“Uuhh.... Dim's? Already awake?” Reina asked with that consciousness that had not yet fully accumulated.
“Ya, there you go.” Reply Leo.
Nearly 2 months have passed since Lucas' visit that day. Where he said that the Aselica magic academy was the one that made him able to make many of the great potions.
Of course, Leo didn't mean to go there just to learn about it. But to learn many other kinds of magic.
His original magic [Flemia] was just a stroke of luck on the edge. Leo was unable to repeat it a second time with the same power.
The best thing he could do was to spit out a hot fire. Without any pressure and power destroyed as strong as his attack against Igor.
For this reason Leo wants to learn more and more detailed magic.
It's just....
“You really don't want to come?” Ask Leo.
Reina who was still sleeping with that thin blanket only gave the same answer as before.
“I told you, I don't really understand magic and stuff. The best thing I can do is slash it hard until my enemy dies.”
“Once?”
Leo immediately prepared himself to take a bath this morning. Taking clothes and other necessities. But before that, he was seen paying attention to the report that Ferry had written one day ago.
During these 2 months, his trading group gained quite significant development.
For starters, Moon Shops have become very popular. To that end, Leo allocated most of his money and profits to the Moon Shop.
He bought the land and the building next to the store, then expanded and improved the existing decorations. Making the sale value and also its capacity is increasing.
Not only that, Leo had also stopped renting a small kiosk to sell potions. Instead, now Leo bought a store with a building measuring 9 x 12 meters and has 2 floors.
The first floor focuses on making sales. While the second floor focuses on production facilities and housing for 4 employees who work there.
Leo also widened the inn he was staying at by buying and renovating the building next to him. Making the capacity of the inn reaches 80 people.
As a result, Leo managed to make a troupe to carry out a trading mission in the city of Daeta. Although, it was still on a small scale with 3 horse carriages as well as 24 warriors.
The benefits are not so much.
If calculated mathematically including operational costs and so on, then the profit that Leo gets every month can be written as follows.
Leo's own main job – Enchanter: 720 platinum coins per month.
Moon Store: 460 platinum coins per month.
Potion Store: 140 platinum coins per month.
Trade Venice – Daeta :90 platinum coins per month.
A fairly remarkable income is a total profit of 1,410 platinum coins per month.
With this development, Leo began to be optimistic about the direction ahead of this group. He closed the report and prepared to take a shower.
But nevertheless....
Just as Leo was about to open the door of his room....
Something soft seemed to hold Leo's left hand. It also feels a little warm in this cold morning.
“Hmm? What's up, Reina?” Leo asked briefly while turning his body.
But Reina just lowered her head. Staring at the ground with a red face. It seems like he wants to say something. But it also seems like I don't want to say it.
Even so, Leo remained patiently waiting for what Reina would say.
“One time...” Said Reina in such a soft voice.
“Hah? What the hell are you saying? Sorry I didn't hear.” Reply Leo to confusion.
“I said, one time...” Reina replied as she continued to stare at the wooden floor.
After a while of thinking about it, Leo finally realized what Reina meant.
“Tu-wait a minute?! Now?!”
Reina did not answer. Just nod his head lightly. His face also looked more red.
“But I haven't had a shower and..”.
“Tak apa.” Reply Reina who now immediately raised her face and looked at the figure of the man before her.
“Hah.... Alright.” Said Leo while sighing. A moment after, Leo looked slightly bent and raised Reina's body with both hands as if she was holding the princess of the kingdom.
After that....
......***...
...
“Mr Leo, why do you look so exhausted this morning?” Selene asked who was sitting in front of Leo in this horse carriage.
“You may not understand, Selene.” Reply Leo with a face that looks quite lethargic.
Right now, the two of them were on their way to Aselica Magic Academy. Both of them had decided to enroll as lower-level disciples in the Applicative Magic major.
A man who looked quite old was seen riding the horse carriage. Sitting beside him was a young man wearing a thin iron armor and a sword.
The two, unlike Leo's subordinates at the beginning of his journey, were not ex-slaves. But Freeman or ordinary citizens who did apply for a job in the Leo trading group.
Compared to former slaves, Freeman had an education level that was usually slightly higher. But the main point of hiring Freeman is their guaranteed loyalty during the contract and employment.
After all, they were law-abiding people. Although.... Leos need to pay them about 1.5 times higher than ex-slaves.
Leo had also warned his subordinates who were slaves to keep their identity well. The identity in question was none other than the slave emblem on their bodies.
If Freeman knew that they were slaves, but their Master was still very clear that was Leo. Even so, Leo did not want more trouble with the incident. He therefore asked the slaves to keep their identity.
A few moments have passed.
Eventually, the train stops while Leo and Selene are still chatting.
“Mr Leo. We have arrived.” Said the horseman whose hair and mustache had begun to whiten it.
“Thanks. Pick us up back after sun sinking.” Reply to Leo briefly while getting out of the horse carriage with Selene.
“Ready, Mr. Leo.” Reply to the horseman.
After the two of them came out, what appeared in their view was a complex of buildings that were so magnificent and beautiful.A spacious garden seemed to decorate the front page of this ‘campus’.
Upon their arrival at the gate, Leo and Selene were immediately greeted by the guards.
“Welcome to Aselica magic academy. You two come on time, registration will start to open in about 10 minutes.”
“Once?” Reply Leo with a thin smile.
Both began to step foot. Passed through the white iron gate slowly.
A step....
Which will start the story of the two of them in studying magic in this academy.
