When the night covered the entire Silver Kingdom, Leo finally closed the last book of Support Magic spells the villa library has.

After finally understanding the general rule in casting the Support Magic spell, he quickly thought he might as well just start learning all the Support Magic spells in the library.

His Mana capacity wasn't a problem as he had pondered before, nor was whether the Support Magic spell was important or not. The most important thing was to know the general rule when casting any Support Magic spells. By understanding the Support Magic spells general rule, he was able to perceive how all the Support Magic spells work.

So, before the night came, Leo could finally understand how the majority of the Support Magic spells works. Even if he hadn't read a specific book for a Support Magic spell that he needed when he faced a possible future situation, being able to cast that Support Magic spell wouldn't be a problem for him anymore.

If he needed to breathe underwater, then he would just cover his entire head with Pure Mana, and then that Pure Mana would act as his oxygen supply.

If he needed to fly, then he will just make a wing made up of Pure Mana. That way, he could still fly. But at the same time, it doesn't need a lot of Pure Mana.

In other words, now that he had understood the general rule of the Support Magic spell, he could cast Support Magic spells now, even if he doesn't follow the instructions written in the book. He can even improve how the book had instructed the Magic spell to work or create a different way to cast the Magic spell.

For example, he could combine Short Distance Blink spell and Speed Increase spell. In that way, he could travel instantly in his desired location multiple times. Yes! Multiple times. The Short Distance Blink spell would allow him to travel instantly but one time use only at the desired location, while the Speed Increase spell on the other hand would allow him to travel fast until all the Pure Mana he had gathered was all consumed but at the same time being able to control where he wanted to go. So, by combining the two Support Magic spell, he could travel instantly to the desired location multiple times until the Support Magic spell finally consumed all the Pure Mana he had gathered.

Though that was just a theory now, since he still hadn't tried applying it. But it was a reasonable and logical theory. The two Support Magic spells characteristics would be combined together since he had to merge the two Support Magic spells. It was the same concept as 1 + 1 = 2. By adding one Magic spell to another Magic spell, he could get the result of two Magic spells.

He was really feeling excited with just the thought of it. He wanted to try doing it as soon as possible, but it was already nighttime and he needed to eat his dinner now as his stomach was begging him for food and to also sleep. Afterall, he would go complete missions tomorrow.

Although, Leo already had a mission that would reward him 100,000 points when completed, but still, he wanted more.

More points equals to more resources. More resources are equal to making him more powerful. So, even though he currently had a high rewarding mission, he still wanted to complete more.

Moreover, the mission of protecting Veronica till the storm around Silver Kingdom is finished was a long-duration type of mission. It specifically needed a long time to complete. Even he doesn't know until when.

So, he can't just wait around doing nothing until the mission was completed. Doing so was stupid since he surely could not overtake his peers anymore later on.

After closing the book, Leo immediately went downstairs to the kitchen to eat his dinner.

Arriving in the kitchen, Leo scratched his head curiously as he still can't find any of the 4 girls. He had caused a loud ruckus at the library for a while now, but still, no one had bothered going up to check on him.

"Maybe they went out to complete the mission..." Leo said as he walked towards the table. Since the 4 girls hadn't arrived yet, he decided to eat first. Waiting was boring and also unnecessary. Why would he even wait, he doesn't even know when they will arrive right?

After a few minutes, Leo finally finished eating. He wanted to go upstairs to take a bath and finally sleep, but he suddenly heard water splashing in the backyard.

"Oh, so they were at the swimming pool..." Leo said in realization.

Although Leo had thought that the 4 girls had gone out to complete a mission, he was still wondering why they didn't inform him. After all, going out completing the mission would surely cause trouble since the Black organization was just watching them looking for any chances to strike. Hence, they needed to always be careful and take precautions.

"Elizabeth, I wonder how old you were when you first meet Leo?" Veronica suddenly asked, which Leo heard inside the villa.

The stairs were just beside the glass sliding door leading to the backyard. So, in Leo's current location, specifically what separated them was just a wall, he could clearly hear the conversation at the swimming pool.

It immediately piqued Leo's interest. He was also wondering about this for a while now. Elizabeth had sounded almost like him when she was consoling Veronica awhile ago. Actually, it was like she knew how he thinks, so she could express how he would tell his words to Veronica if ever he was there. Exactly at that time, he immediately became more curious...

Leo quickly put his ears closer to the wall so that he can continue to listen to what they would talk about. Though it was nosy of him to do so, but since it was about him, then there is no problem in doing such action, right?

"Ha? What do you mean?" Elizabeth said, obviously dubious.

"A while ago, when you were trying to console me, you sounded like you really know Leo.." Veronica said with a giggle.

"Exactly!" Cassandra followed up while puffing her cheeks, obviously a little bit jealous.

Angel only nodded her head multiple times to express her agreement.

"Oh, so it's about that. Actually, I met Leo when we were still below 6 years old. I don't know why, but it seems like he doesn't remember any of it anymore..." Elizabeth explained while letting out a sigh of helplessness.

"What!" Cassandra, Angel, and Veronica immediately exclaimed in unison.

Even Leo at the other side of the wall was staring dumbfounded. He could remember clearly in his memories that he doesn't have any past with Elizabeth when he was still 6 years old.

"Is she lying or telling the truth..." Leo whispered silently. He could still clearly remember all the memories about his past when he was still below 8 years old in his mind, hence he should assume that Elizabeth was lying. But there is this mysterious thought that suddenly sounded in his mind, telling him that what she said was the truth.

Elizabeth's eyes turned to look at the sky full of stars as she silently said, "Maybe I'm just one of those stars in the night sky for him, something he would describe as beautiful today but he would immediately forget tomorrow."

"Our memories when we were still young were like nothing for him. Seriously, I really hate him! I treated those memories as really important. How dare he just forgot all of those like nothing! He... he even said he would marry me at that time, but now he is relentlessly trying to make me suffer!"

"He swore an oath! That when the two of us reached 10 years old, I would go to him and we will finally live as husband and wife, be his treasure and the most beautiful flower to his garden! But now, hahaha, he only wants to marry me to make my life suffer and make me wish that I was dead!"

"When we meet again at the 1S+ classroom, I became really happy, but then I felt like falling into the deep pits of hell when I saw his eyes staring at Cassandra!" Elizabeth paused as she turned to look at Cassandra, "Those were also the eyes he used to look at me before... Full of love"

"What do you mean? His eyes full of love, hahaha! If he could indeed express something like that openly, then I'll marry him immediately the next day! I don't care about becoming a concubine or the wife, since I'm confident that he isn't that expressive type of person, hahaha!" Veronica said full of confidence while laughing mockingly. In her opinion, Leo might be able to feel love, actually, he could indeed feel that emotion since he obviously loves Cassandra, but yet he was clearly unable to express it too. In her opinion, Leo's eyes were always like a machine. It never changes how it had been set to work. Always cold and serious too. It was like he is an emotionless type of guy, yet at the same time, he can feel and express emotions too. For short, Leo's expression almost can't be read.

"Exactly! He is almost like an emotionless machine that doesn't know how to express how he feels!" Elizabeth exclaimed annoyingly.

"Was he always like that?" Cassandra quickly asked. She had always been curious about Leo. So, since Elizabeth was currently sharing about his past, she immediately thought of doing everything to make Elizabeth continue the story.

"He was not! The Leo of today was the complete opposite to what he was when he was still young! His almost emotionless machine-like eyes were full of joy, and his thoughts when thinking was all about what fun things to do, not the present full of cunning schemes or smart strategies and plans."

"Maybe it's because of losing his family...?" Angel softly said.

"Seriously, do you also think that way too?! That guy was the epitome of Fun, Joy, Pervertness, and Shamelessness! How could he just change to something like that?!" Elizabeth said as she rolled her eyes.

"What do you mean?" Veronica asked dubiously.

"Someone had changed him! Specifically, forced him to change... Do you remember what Princess Tiana had said? He was changed through ruthless ways! The Royal family obviously knew about it, but they're hiding it. It's highly likely that they feared those people who had changed him!" Elizabeth said in anger.

"Smiling Lion... It must be the Smiling Lion!" Angel exclaimed in realization.

"What do you mean?" Elizabeth quickly asked as it immediately piqued her interest.
