Chapter 230 Team
Leo walked back to his room and got onto his bed. It had been a very long ti since he had used it, so it was a little bit dusty. After blowing it away, he lay on it for a while. He thought about what he was supposed to be doing for the next month when he was in the capital.
His number one priority was going to be getting stronger. While that might an putting back his eting with Daphne, it was better that way. It would only be safe to et her if he was strong enough. Otherwise, he might get into trouble with her family and he had no idea how they would treat him.
That ant he needed to get better at using his Aura Techniques. It would be his priority until the Phoenix Trials were over. As he was thinking that, a knock on the door brought him back to reality.
He got up from his bed and looked outside his window. It was still dark which ant it could only be one person. He walked to the door, sensing the aura of the people outside. It was more than one person and their energies gave away who they were. He took a deep breath and opened the door.
As the door creaked open, it revealed Leo to Marcus, Lyra, and Madison. They saw the person who had been missing for a long ti and didn't know what to feel.
"Hello. It's been a while, right?" Leo broke the short silence.
Marcus walked forward and draped him in a bear hug.
"Yes, it has been." He let go and said enthusiastically. "Thank god you are alive! We thought you died to so Magical Beast out there."
"That isn't so joking matter. What were doing?" Madison asked.
"I had so work that needed to be done," Leo replied. "Co in, please. I am guessing you ca for Roland's potions?"
"Yes. Wait, did you talk to Professor Maria?" Lyra asked him.
He nodded. "Yes, right before coming here. She said I was still allowed to be on the team, but Asher said that I need to be on my best behavior while I am there."
"Well, you do. If you run off and don't co back, they will be very pissed at you," Marcus said.
Roland seed to hear the loud noise they were all making and ca out. He had a box full of potions that were for Marcus.
"Here you go, Marcus. Are you sure you don't want to borrow my dinsional ring?" He asked.
Marcus shook his head. "I am saving up for mine. Maybe in a year, I can get one," he said.
"Actually, you can just take one of mine. I have a bunch," Leo said and took out a dinsional ring. He handed it to Marcus who looked at him with an expression of doubt.
"Trust , I have a lot. I don't need this one, but you can give it back after we are done. Since we will be there together, you won't feel like you are taking it away from ," he said to Marcus.
Marcus grudgingly took the ring as Leo turned to Lyra.
"Do you know when we have to leave?"
"We were planning on leaving imdiately," she said.
"That's good then. Asher said I cannot be late in any way."
"Good Luck to all of you then," Madison said softly. Roland repeated her words.
"Thanks," Lyra and Marcus said. Leo just smiled and nodded with acknowledgnt.
The group of three walked out of the room and toward the front gate. As they were walking, Marcus asked him about his aura.
"So, Leo. Why can't I see your aura level? It looks like you barely have any aura," he asked.
Lyra answered the question for him. "It's called hiding your aura. It's a fairly simple thing to do, but generally, people don't because it is hiding your strength. People with power like showing off their power. In a competition like this, however, it can co in very handy."
"So how strong are you, then?" Marcus asked.
Leo just smiled. "What makes you think I grew stronger in just two months?"
"It feels like you did," he replied.
"You will see if I did, eventually."
They got to the front gate, being the first ones there. It was around 6 AM, which made them extrely early. They sat down and waited for others to co.
After thirty minutes, the first set of students started to co. It was three upperclassn - a group of two boys and a girl. They were hiding their aura level, but Leo's perception seed to have pierced through it. It seed that it wasn't as effective against mages.
The three were 3rd Circle Aura Knights, with one of the boys being in the Middle Stage. He guessed they were the strongest people who would show up.
Fifteen minutes later, everyone else showed up. First, it was two boys that he didn't recognize. They looked around Marcus' age and were both Middle-Stage 2nd Circle Aura Knights so they had to be freshn.
And finally, along with the professors, two girls in the 3rd Circle ca. These were the sa two girls that he had encountered while he was in his disguise. As he was thinking that, the professors rounded up the students.
There were three professors there - Asher, Maria, and Selena. Asher stepped forward and started talking to them when he saw that all of them were there.
"Let explain how this works again so everyone here won't be clueless when we get there," Asher said, his eyes focused on Leo.
He looked around and saw everyone's disinterested faces and imdiately realized that everyone there already knew how it worked. Asher was repeating it for him since he had been gone for two months and wasn't updated with all the information he should have known.
"We have 10 mbers here. 5 more will join us at the Capital. Out of the 10 here, 5 are reserve team mbers. These are the freshn. You will need to participate in a tournant that has over 1000 people. If you are among the top 100 of them, then you will move forward to the actual Phoenix Trials.
Apart from that, you must keep in mind that everyone there will be incredibly powerful and important people. Do not pick fights with anyone.
We will start imdiately to the Capital and arrive in five days. Then we will prepare you to fight against each other so that you have practice. We will also train you how to hide your aura so that you will not be read like a book by your opponents. Is that clear?" He asked everyone.
After a few nods, he turned back, allowing the students to discuss among themselves.
"Why are we even letting freshn take those spots? We know that they will never be able to get past the first round of the reserve tournant," one of the 3rd Circle Aura Knights there said. He was looking at the five freshn with disappointnt.
Leo t his stare and chuckled. He then looked away, ignoring his comnt completely.
