Magic System in a Parallel World-Chapter 136 Consuming the Fruit of Magic Awakening(2)

Chapter 136 Consuming the Fruit of Magic Awakening(2)

After many moments of silence, a middle-aged man on approached the platform while shouting in an angry voice, "Why the fuck did you do that?! Why did you eat it?!"

Leo calmly turned to look at the person who just spoke.

'That's Derek Argent… the vice principal of the academy and the second most powerful individual, being only below Headmistress Eve…' He quickly recognized this middle-aged man who had an enraged face.

"What's wrong? It's my treasure that I'd acquired after risking my life. Why can't I eat it?" Leo pretended to be ignorant about the situation.

"YOU FUCKING IDIOT!" Derek roared, his face bulging with veins.

"That was the Fruit of Magic Awakening! It is a legendary treasure that nobody has been able to acquire! It should've been examined by experts and be protected! That could've been the last one in this world! Yet you consumed it without any hesitation or consideration! I should fucking kill you for your audacious actions!" Derek was shouting so loud that his saliva sprayed all over the place.

Indeed, the reason why so many people there tried to stop Leo from consuming the Fruit of Magic Awakening was because of the treasure's rarity, not because they wanted it for themselves. Of course, they definitely coveted that inwardly, but none of them would dare to actually consume the Fruit of Magic Awakening if it was in their hands.

Most unknown treasures and artifacts are usually examined by experts to further understand them. Furthermore, they might have been able to reproduce the Fruit of Magic Awakening's effects, which would have changed the entire world drastically, as it would allow more people to use magic and fight back against the threats roaming the Wilderness and the vampires.

Unfortunately, that chance is now gone until they find another Fruit of Magic Awakening, all because of a student who was too hasty to consume it. Once news of this event spread, Leo would, without doubt, become the most hated person in the world.

"Settle down, Vice Principal." Headmistress Eve suddenly stepped in between them.

"You want me to calm down after what he just did?! Why aren't you shocked?! Why aren't you angry?! He just screwed humanity over with his reckless actions!"

"First of all, we don't even know if that Fruit of Magic Awakening was real or fake. Countless people have searched for it for hundreds of years but to no avail. And even if it was real, there is nothing we can do about it since he's already consumed it." Eve shook her head.

"Somebody bring me a magic affinity tester!" She demanded in a loud voice.

"I have one with me." Camille suddenly appeared on the platform with the device and handed it over to her.

"If that Fruit of Magic Awakening was real, you should have a magic affinity now." Eve said to Leo as she approached him with the device.

Leo placed his hands on the crystal ball.

Everybody in the auditorium watched with their breaths held and their eyes as wide as saucers.

And before the thousands of witnesses in the auditorium, the crystal ball emanated a crimson light before flames appeared inside the crystal ball and danced wildly.

"I-Impossible…" Many people there mumbled when they saw the results.

"A-Rank fire magic affinity…"

"Leo, who was born without any magic affinity, now has a fire magic affinity! That Fruit of Magic Awakening was real!"

"LEEEEEOOOO!" The Vice Principal roared, causing the entire building to shake.

"PUKE IT OUT! PUKE OUT THE FRUIT OF MAGIC AWAKENING RIGHT NOW!"

In his mind, even if the Fruit of Magic Awakening has been consumed by Leo, it hasn't been that long since he consumed it, so they should still be able to salvage some of it.

"I will open a hole in your stomach and retrieve the treasure myself if I have to!" The Vice Principal began approaching Leo.

However, a ring of fire suddenly appeared around him, halting his steps.

"He-Headmistress?! What is the meaning of this?! Why are you still protecting him?! The Fruit of Magic Awakening is real! We need to retrieve it before it's too late!"

"Your behavior is unbefitting of your status, Vice Principal Derek. I understand your feelings, but even if the Fruit of Magic Awakening is real, it belongs to Leo, and he has every right to decide what to do with it. If you keep making a commotion, I will have to remove you from the scene."

Vice Principal Derek swallowed nervously when he saw Eve's cold gaze.

"Hmph!" He turned to look at Leo and said in a cold voice, "You're going to regret your actions today very soon! Once news spreads, you will become the most hated person in the world! I would keep a close eye on my back if I were you!"

Eve smiled and said in a loud and clear voice, almost as if she wanted everyone to hear it, "Starting today, Leo is under my protection! Whoever dares to hurt him will face my wrathful flames! And since he now has a fire magic affinity, I am going to train him!"

"What?!" Everyone there exclaimed.

"Are you willing to become my student, Leo? It won't be easy, but I will make you the strongest fire mage in this academy!"

"I am willing!" Leo immediately said.

"Good! I now end the gathering here! All of you are dismissed!" Eve then said.

She turned to look at Camille and said, "Bring Leo to my office and wait for me there."

Camille nodded, "Let's go, Leo."

"Okay." Leo quickly rushed to stand beside Camille, as he felt the safest when around her.

Camille led Leo out of the auditorium shortly after while the rest of the people there were still trying to comprehend what had just occurred.

"Leo can use magic now…?" Valery and her team were speechless.

If Leo is already this powerful with just the sword, how much more powerful will he become when he fully adapts to his new powers? Nobody there could imagine.
