Ahmed and Brad were staring with wide eyes at the scene behind Leo. All the 15 Magical Beasts were all killed seemingly very easy and without any problem.
While looking at the approaching Leo, they really can't help but to take a step back out of fear. This guy was simply a monster to the point that he is even more dangerous than a Magical Beast.
"Do you believe me now?" Leo repeated his words once again since he noticed Ahmed and Brad seems to not have heard him. They were just staring with wide eyes straight at him.
"They are scared to the bones, Leo!" Levi said with a loud laughter.
Hearing Levi's laughter, Ahmed and Brad were immediately pulled out of their thoughts as they both fixed themselves and faced Leo.
"Are both of you okay?" Leo asked with a chuckle. Obviously, he was well aware that he had just scared the both of them. Well, anyone who sees a person who can kill 15 Magical Beast seemingly looking so easy would also feel scared.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine!" Ahmed quickly replied.
"Same!" Brad replied while heaving a sigh of relief. It was really fortunate that Leo was on their side.
"Do you believe me now?" Leo repeated his words for the third time.
"Yes!" Brad said, obviously feeling excited. Who wouldn't even want to become someone with Leo's capability? He didn't even use a single Magic spell, and yet he was able to kill 15 Magical Beast.
"He really feels like a member at the bottom rank of those 5 Divisions!" Ahmed compared.
"5 Divisions?" Leo really can't help but ask after hearing such unfamiliar words.
"You definitely don't know this yet, since you just arrived here. Actually, the Eclipse village has 5 different Divisions. Simply put, they are a group of people who are in charge of protecting the safety of the Eclipse village. Respectively, Eagle Division for scouting, Tiger Division for fighting, Tortoise Division for defense, Elephant Division for logistic, and Dragon Division for leadership." Ahmed explained.
"Oh..." Leo simply nodded his head in understanding. He didn't really expect that Eclipse village would actually adapt the Division system in their management. He could already expect that the Eclipse village somewhat worked like his Heart city after hearing Ahmed's explanation. In his Heart city's case though, instead of Division, he has Departments. Also, contrary to Heart city, the Eclipse village focuses more on military management rather than territory management, which is more suited for them considering they lived in a Danger zone.
What made him more interested though is that his capability is actually only considered as the bottom of those 5 Divisions. Just how powerful were those 5 Divisions that his capability is only considered below? Or is it perhaps they underestimated him?
Although he could already expect that there would definitely be powerful people here, considering they lived in a Danger zone, he just didn't expect to have such a big disparity, just maybe though...
Anyways, he is more like the leader type of person, so those people should be like Carlos, a bunch of muscle heads, at least except for the so-called Eagle and Dragon Division since it's obvious that their job really requires them to use their brain.
Moreover, his skills are more suited in assassination too, so he's not really suited for a head-on fight.
"Can you tour me to the location of those 5 Divisions?" Leo requested. He really wants to see the difference between Eclipse village, a village located in the outskirts of a Danger zone, and the Mischievous Lion organization. Also, he wants to see whether they're really as great as what Ahmed and Brad had mentioned it to be.
Ahmed shook his head as he said, "They are always away from the village."
"Oh..." Leo replied in understanding. Since the Eclipse village was more in military management, hence it's indeed expected already that those 5 Divisions would always be out fighting with the Magical Beast, improving their strength and cultivation.
*Whooosh!
"Ah!" Levi quickly dodges to the side as a sudden arrow nearly hit him. He then quickly flies down and hid behind Leo.
"Boy, get away- "An adult man with a bald head suddenly yelled out as he runs out from some thick plants but then suddenly cut his words when he soon noticed that the Magical Beast he had nearly hit with an arrow just now was actually shivering behind the young man seems like it's looking for protection.
Leo, Ahmed, and Brad then quickly turned to look at the bald man.
"Uncle Jeffrey!" Brad suddenly runs towards the bald man and hug him.
Leo was quick to notice that the bald man with the name Jeffrey was a Hybrid with a mix between four races, specifically tiger, lion, panther, and cheetah, an obvious combination of different Beastman race.
Beastman race was a race that has really huge similarities with Magical Beast. The only difference they have that can separate them from Magical Beast is that they looked more like a person rather than a beast.
Also, Beastman's race is used in the same way as Merlfolks race, they are words used to generalize all of their respective kinds, or tribes.
"Is that Magical Beast your Beast Companion, young man?" Jeffrey asked Leo.
Leo nodded his head as he observed Jeffrey from head to toe as he thought, "This person is strong."
Just by basing on Jeffrey's aura, he could already see that he is on the same level as 3 Star Magical Knight.
He finally understands why Ahmed said that his strength is only comparable to the bottom of the 5 Divisions. If their members are like this, then it's indeed understandable.
However, he now knows that the strength of the 5 Divisions is definitely far below the Mischievous Lion organization.
If it is in terms of a head-on clash, then the 5 Divisions would at the least have the advantage. Unfortunately, the members of Mischievous Lion organization only attack in the dark, and almost all of them are smart people since their profession requires their usage of their brain more than their physical strength. So, considering all of those factors, the 5 Divisions stand no chance against the Mischievous Lion organization. Moreover, if the fight takes place in the forest, then the Mischievous Lion organization would definitely have the advantage since that's the same as releasing a lion in their natural habitat.
"Oh, I almost forgot... I'm Jeffrey, a member of the Tiger Division!" Jeffrey proudly replied, "Also, I haven't seen you here before, are you perhaps a traveler?"
"He has actually washed ashore yesterday afternoon, uncle Jeffrey," Brad explained.
"Oh, then I guess Ahmed would no longer feel alone this time!" Jeffrey looked at Ahmed with a kind smile on his face. The reason for that kind smile is actually because it's due to Ahmed why his nephew Brad was safe during the unexpected incident when they were still young. If that Magical Beast targeted Brad, since he was located only a few steps away from Jasmine, then the one who would be suffering in their cultivation right now would also include Brad. His family is really grateful for Ahmed's heroism.
Seeing such a kind smile from Jeffrey, Leo just felt even more interested in recruiting Ahmed. This kind of person was definitely a perfect candidate to become a General in his planned army for the Heart city. Not only was he brave and has heroism in his heart, but his past growth also speaks volumes of his potential. The only problem he would be facing if he can indeed recruit Ahmed, though. is how to fix his problem in cultivation. His Master Olivia should have a solution for that, maybe...
"What are you guys doing in this place?" Jeffrey curiously asked.
"Training!" Brad replied.
"Oh..." Jeffrey then looked around as he noticed the 15 Magical Beast laying dead on the ground, "You're definitely doing great!"
"That's actually all of his kills!" Ahmed pointed at Leo.
Jeffrey was immediately astonished the moment he heard Ahmed's reply. He quickly began observing the dead Magical Beast closely as he finally found out something, "Oh, so that explains why those wounds looked so similar to the other, it's indeed the doing of only one person."
"Young man, you're so good! How about you join our Tiger Division? Looking at your cultivation, you're still in the middle phase of a No Star Mage. We can definitely help you improve!" Jeffrey quickly tried inviting Leo. In his opinion, if he doesn't invite Leo right now, then those other Divisions would definitely try to invite him.
"No thanks, I will be returning to the Silver Kingdom soon, so it's much better to not join any Divisions. Also, I'll be training Ahmed and Brad, if it's okay with you, then we will take our leave?" Leo shook his head to refuse Jeffrey's offer. Although the 5 Divisions sounds great, no, it's definitely great, he just doesn't feel like being a part of it, especially since he's now trying to focus on his path as a Mage. If he doesn't start developing his capability as a Mage soon, then his peers would definitely overtake him.
Moreover, being an assassin might be good, really, but after seeing the fight between Commander Ava and Lu Ming, he finally saw for himself that having assassination skill alone is not a good path if he wants to take over the Mischievous Lion organization. That should be the exact reason why his two senior brothers went to the Southern Fortress so that they can train and become powerful.
Although assassination skill is not really great compared to being a Mage, it still doesn't mean he can just abandon it. To be honest, what he's trying to do right now was simply to train his Magic power in order to further improve his path to being an assassin. After watching all of those teachers combined weapons and Magic, he could say for sure that what he's doing right now is absolutely the best path to become strong.
"That's really great! Then I'll leave you kids be, I still need to report something to Chief Lago." Jeffrey said as he left. But he suddenly turned around and continued, "Also, Brad and Ahmed, good luck in the coming of age competition!"
"I will definitely show you that I can become as strong as you!" Brad said.
It was very obvious that Jeffrey is Brad's role model.
"Thank you, I'll do my best!" Ahmed bows his head to show his gratitude.
"Bye-bye now!" Jeffrey waves his hand as he continued walking back to the Eclipse village.
"Okay, let's go!" Leo motioned to Ahmed and Brad as he began walking deeper into the Twilight Forest.
