Chapter 61: Astellia (1)
Arpina's soft smile quickly froze.
"You..."
Her voice carried disbelief.
"You're at mid-level Mysticism?"
Arpina's eyes were filled with undeniable doubt. She knew Leon's exact age and his original magical attribute. His growth to mid-level Mysticism within a year was nothing short of astonishing to her.
There was a clear reason why Leon didn’t bother hiding his power. When he had first shown his abilities as a low-level Mystic while being pursued by Teneiron, it was Arpina who had gifted him her unique magic.
She was one of the few people Leon trusted, so revealing his rank to her didn’t feel burdensome.
The real issue lay with Leicia, who was listening in from the side.
‘I have to trust Arpina,’ Leon thought as he sighed lightly and composed himself. His decision to head toward the Astellia School was based on the fact that Arpina could provide him with the support he needed in difficult situations.
As expected, Leicia’s eyes widened in shock. She, too, was a gifted magician who had reached apprentice level 5 at the age of 18.
‘He must be younger than me...’
Leon still had a youthful face, making it difficult to even call him a young adult. Leicia knew that Leon was childhood friends with Ria, and she had heard from Arpina that Leon was incredibly talented, but reaching mid-level Mysticism exceeded her imagination.
