While being embraced by Leo, Evangelion can't help but feel proud of himself. He suddenly remembered that time back when he was still a 4th-year student of Red Dragon Mage Academy at Dragon Horn Empire. A bunch of 1st-year students or even some 2nd and 3rd-year students would come to look for him for help with a few things related to Magic.
In Evangelion's opinion, Leo was really like those juniors he had met from before.
"No problem, helping you is the same as helping Madam Silva anyway..." Evangelion made an excuse as he pulled himself out from the hug.
Leo immediately fixed himself after hugging Evangelion as he then turned his attention towards his Earth Elemental. It was also staring back at him with its hollow eyes at this moment. But this time, he can't help but to somewhat feel that the Earth Elemental was actually also feeling excited, like it's telling him that it could finally turn into something powerful and strong looking instead of always staying in a weak toy soldier form.
"Turn yourself into this!" Leo ordered as he pointed towards the Golem in the book.
Hearing Leo's order, the Earth Elemental went to look at the book. It seemingly began observing the image of the Golem, as it then slowly transformed itself into a Golem soon after.
"It works!" Leo exclaimed in excitement.
"Indeed! There seems to be no difference at all, too!" Evangelion rated the Golem too, "Except for the height though..."
"What's wrong with its height?" Leo quickly asked.
"How about let's take your Golem... I mean Earth Elemental, outside of Silver city to fully examine and adjust its final form!" Evangelion said while massaging his chin, seemingly thinking in deep thought.
"Are you sure about that...?" Leo can't help but ask. The Sword and Magic study room were indeed too small. The Earth Elemental in the Golem form right now has already reached the height of the ceiling of the study room. So, further testing in such a small place would sooner or later destroy the shelves.
However, with an Earth Elemental this big with them, they cannot travel in secret. Not only that, but getting outside of this study room was also impossible due to its size at this moment.
Although, Leo could actually just simply order the Earth Elemental to turn into a toy soldier form once again, and just walk towards a forest nearby Silver city. There wasn't any problem about that, aside from it might become a hassle and also something really troublesome for Evangelion. He was asking Evangelion a favor, so he naturally can't make the latter feel any inconvenience. at all.
By doing something really inconvenient like that, it might make him hesitate to ask for any help in the near future. Moreover, they weren't that close yet, too. So, in his opinion, he can't do anything that will cross the line of their current relationship.
"Simple..." Evangelion said as he suddenly put his hand on Leo's shoulder and put his other hand on the Earth Elemental. A Magic circle that fully enveloped the ground around them suddenly appeared, "Teleportation!"
With a *Whoosh! sound, Leo, Evangelion, and the Earth Elemental, immediately vanished out from the Sword and Magic study room.
.....
The moment they appeared again, it was now outside of Silver City, specifically nearby forest around the city wall.
Leo finally realized something today. He should avoid asking a question like how to reach a far place to a 5 Star Mage, since that is really so stupid. It was like asking a fish how to swim in the ocean. It was simple and too easy for them to do it.
Well, he was still a beginner in being a Mage anyways, so it was reasonable for him to not know a lot of things about Mages. This was also his first time interacting with a 5 Star Mage up close too, so he doesn't know what they can and can't do.
"Change your Golem's height into 3 meters tall, also adjust its body to correspond to its huge build." Evangelion immediately suggested as soon as they landed.
Leo quickly nodded his head in reply as he then followed what Evangelion had suggested. Turning around, he faced his Earth Elemental as he said, "Adjust your height to 3 meters tall, your body build should also fit your big size!"
After hearing Leo's order, the Earth Elemental seemingly nodded its head as it quickly began adjusting its form.
Slowly, the Earth's Elemental height began to rise up until it reached 3 meters tall. At the same time, Leo also felt that any higher than 3 meters was impossible for him. It was highly likely that it's due to his Magic power at this moment.
"Now, adjust its lower half to turn a bit smaller, compare to its upper half." Evangelion quickly followed up.
Leo just nodded his head again as he sent out another order to the Earth Elemental, "Go and decrease the size of your lower half a bit less compared to your upper half!"
"Okay, good! Then now, its two arms make it a little bit bigger."
"..."
"Its head should be small."
"..."
"Oh, okay! Then lastly, its body should complement the size of its 2 arms!"
"..."
Finally, after a lot of adjustments, the Earth Elemental final form was finally completed.
Looking at the Earth Elemental closely, Leo could describe quickly that the reference for this Golem was more likely to be a Gorilla. He turned to look at Evangelion as he can't help but asked, "This form was from?"
"Magical Beast Bedrock Kong!" Evangelion introduced proudly, "By having this form, your Earth Elemental defense would be the same as the Bedrock Kong. Although the attack style wouldn't necessarily be the same, dodging the Earth Elemental's attack would still be a lot harder compared to ordinary Golems, since it has a very big attack range. Moreover, killing it would also be difficult. The same as Bedrock Kong, its obvious weakness, the head, is being blocked by its both enormous arms. Going to its back is also proven difficult. With a small lower half body, turning around or changing position would be really easy for it as it only needed to use its upper half to carry the weight of its lower half in order for it to change its current position. Hence, every time your opponent tries to go to the rear of the Golem, they would only find themselves facing the Golem's front once again. Unfortunately, the cost of this is your Earth Elemental is now almost fully focus on defense."
After hearing Evangelion's description, Leo could only say that it was a really genius idea. With all these new aspects of his Earth Elemental, it could now easily adapt to different kinds of situations that it would encounter in the future.
In his opinion, even though the Earth Elemental's offensive power was greatly reduced with this form, that wasn't still a problem for the likes of him. After all, from the very beginning, one of the main reasons that he had specifically chosen the Earth Elemental was because of its defensive capability. Although its attack was still important, he could easily cover that up. As a professional assassin himself, he naturally has many ways of attacking.
The only thing lacking for him before was his defensive capability.
As a Mage himself, he wasn't exempted from the weakness of vulnerability when he's casting a Magic spell. So, with an Earth Elemental like this, he could now fully make use of his capability as a Mage.
"Great, this is great!" Leo can't help but exclaim out loudly due to excitement.
"By the way, you seem to be really different today..." Evangelion suddenly asked while he was observing the joyous Leo.
From Sword and Magic to here, Leo was strangely acting really happy. It was unusual since he wasn't like that. He doesn't hug anyone, and he also doesn't just overexpress his emotions. It was like something had changed within, hence causing him to act this way.
"Oh, I think it was because some people had helped me realized something yesterday!" Leo immediately replied, "Maybe, that had caused me to still feel something inside, which makes me act this way for the meantime."
"Oh..." Evangelion already understood what it was, "I actually prefer the you today than the you of before, keep it up!" He added as he then suddenly vanished, leaving Leo alone in the forest.
Leo could only scratch his head helplessly. Just this morning, he was indeed feeling a bit different from what he had usually always felt all this time. Obviously, it was because one of his shackles from the past being destroyed by the joyous occasion that was celebrated yesterday. Though, he was also sure that this would only be for the meantime.
Anyways, it was indeed a bit better for him to act like this. He can express his emotions easily, understand people easily, and also more mature compared to people of his age due to his past experiences.. Simply put, he had gained new insights about life, so his ways of doing things starting today would also see a lot of improvements.
