Chapter 116: Giants’ Valley(3)
“Look, it’s your girlfriend, Leo.” Lilith chuckled out loud in a teasing voice when they coincidentally crossed paths in the Giants’ Valley.
“Shut up. I never had a girlfriend in my life.” He rebuked.
“That in itself is quite embarrassing… If you want, I will be your girlfriend.” Lilith continued to tease him with a wide smile on her face.
“This isn’t the ti for jokes.” He sighed.
anwhile—
“Leo! What are you doing here? You know this place has A-Rank monsters, right? Did you already recover from your strength? Or did you wander here by accident?” The bulky young man from Valery’s team was the first to break the silence.
‘Kevin Stoner, he was the basketball team’s captain…’ Leo recognized this bulky student, as he was one of the most popular students in his old world.
“Never mind that! Are you going out with Nina now?! I cannot imagine any other reason why the two of you would partner up!” The other female student in the group beside Valery quickly interrupted.
‘Jennifer White… She was Valery’s best friend in my world and also the archery club’s ace… This group is filled with popular students.’ Leo sighed inwardly.?? ? ?? n ? ???
“What’s wrong with being here? And I am well aware of the A-Rank monsters here.” Leo said to Kevin before turning to look at Jennifer and continuing, “Why do we have to be going out to be partners? We’re just friends.”
“…”
Valery and her team stared at Leo with slightly wide eyes.
“Even if you have recovered your strength, isn’t it a little reckless to fight A-Rank monsters with just the two of you? You may be slightly stronger than us individually, but you won’t be able to defeat the six of us together, and we require a whole team to handle one A-Rank monster.” Kevin said a mont later.
“He’s right. If you don’t want to lose your mories for a second ti, you should get out of here— if you’re lucky to survive a second ti, that is.” The fifth mber of Valery’s team suddenly said with a look of disdain on his face.
Leo turned to look at the person who just spoke. He was a skinny young man with short red hair, and he was wearing a long hat with a pointy tip— what one would recognize as a wizard’s hat.
‘Who is this guy? I don’t recognize him.’ Leo thought to himself.

“Hmph. You seem to have gotten a bit cocky since your disappearance.” The red-haired student sneered.
“And you seem nicer than before— not that I rember anything.” Leo smiled at him.
“You bas—!”
“Erik!” Valery suddenly shouted when the red-haired student took a step forward.
“Che.” Erik sucked his teeth and proceeded to ignore Leo, pretending that nothing had happened just now.
“Leo…” Valery looked at him with an unfathomable gaze.
“I—”
Just as Valery opened her mouth, Nina suddenly shouted, “Leo! Monster!” ,c,om
BOOM!
The following mont, a Mountain Cyclops had suddenly fallen from the sky and landed right beside Leo and Valery’s group.
Leo proceeded to ignore Valery and her team and rushed at the Mountain Cyclops without any hesitation.
“What the hell is he doing?!” Kevin exclaid after seeing Leo’s actions.
“He’s charging at the Mountain Cyclops by himself?! Is he insane?!” Erik muttered in a dazed voice.
‘This guy…’ John stared at Leo with wide eyes.
When the Mountain Cyclops noticed Leo running at it, a mocking grin appeared on its face as it raised its large sword into the air.
However, right as it prepared to swing its sword, its body stiffened, and it felt itself becoming weaker and more vulnerable for so reason.
“W-What are those red chains?!” Jennifer pointed at the red chains that had suddenly materialized around the Mountain Cyclops and shouted.
Unbeknownst to them, Leo had secretly activated the Elder’s Orb of Restraints, sealing the cyclops’ movent for a brief mont until he arrived behind its feet.
Once Leo was behind the giant, he swung his sword at its Achilles tendon, cutting down its movent on one leg and forcing the cyclops to kneel on the ground.
Imdiately after, Leo rushed to its other leg and slashed that leg’s Achilles tendon as well.
“Arrrrgh!” The Mountain Cyclops released a deafening roar that stunned Valery and the others.
This normally wouldn’t happen, but they were too surprised by Leo’s actions to put up any defenses.
Once the Mountain Cyclops was on the ground, Leo jumped high into the air before plunging himself at the monster’s head.
Whoosh!
The tip of his sword penetrated the cyclops’ tough skin with ease before its blade dug deep into its head.
However, his sword was too short to reach the cyclops’ brain, so he infused his sword with mana before shooting it out like a magic bullet.
The mana bullet that was as sharp as the sword easily penetrated the cyclops’ thick skull and reached its brain.
But Leo wasn’t satisfied yet, so he continued to stab the cyclops’ head with his sword until the monster stopped moving completely.
Afterward, he carved a large hole in the cyclops head and dug out its mana core.
Once all of that was done, he casually returned to Nina’s side and said to her, “Thanks for the warning.”
“L-Leo… You…” The sixth mber of Valery’s team muttered in a dazed voice. He was a short kid that could be easily mistaken as a child with blonde hair just like John.
Of course, Leo didn’t recognize him either.
“Hm? You guys are still here? Sorry, but I’m busy. If you have anything to say, tell once we get back to the academy.” Leo said to them.
“Let’s go, Nina.” He said to her before turning around and walking away without looking back even once.
Nina quietly followed him, and as she passed Valery and her team, she turned to look at them with a mocking smile on her face.
