When Aquila heard what Leo said, he started laughing and didn't think that Someone will tell them a big secret because he was bewitched by a beauty.
Aquila: "Hahahaha. ouff, Sir Eros and the others must hear about this when they come back. I will make sure to tell them".
Suddenly, a cold feeling appeared around him as he felt Serena cold eyes staring at him. He then regretted what he said. He turned and looked at Serena.
Aquila: "Miss Serena, please don't be Mad. I was just joking with you and Leo. I would never tell anybody".
Leo who saw the cold ice eyes of Serena felt more mesmerized by her and couldn't say anything as he just looked at her.
Serena who then saw his expression didn't say anything and just looked at him for a moment.
Aquila: "Returning to the subject. Miss Serena, I want to ask you. Did you ever hear about this kid power? It seems like he can predict where my attacks are going. He said that he could see and feel my attack when it's coming. I want to know about this power of his. He says that it's not a Magic ability because he doesn't have Mana".
When Serena heard Aquila explanation, she looked at Leo with a curious expression.
Serena: "Can see the attack and feel it. He can predict the exact position and even evade it then it must be..."
Aquila: "What is it??"
Serena: "Soul Power Overflow. hmm, Kid undress".
Aquila, Leo: "0_0 0_0, What?!!!!!!!".
When Leo heard what she said, he started blushing and even didn't understand what is happening. On the other hand, Aquila looked bewildered.
Aquila: "Miss Serena, did you by any chance... I didn't expect you to be easy...."
Aquila couldn't finish his words when He saw the icy eyes looking at him. He didn't say anything and just shut his mouth.
Aquila: (I am really happy she's a good girl and I am higher in power than her otherwise, she would've killed me already).
Leo who couldn't refuse started increasing. Serena told him to just undress but after that, she explained that she only wanted him to lift his shirt.
Leo then signed and started taking his shirt but he still took down his blue and short robe. He then took his redshirt. His whole upper body is now naked.
When Aquila saw his body, he noticed some little injuries on the side. There are about 10 hits and all of them are blue which shows that he was but very hard.
Although he was hit, his body is in good shape and it didn't seem like he had problems of eating. Aquila sighed and asked Serena.
Aquila: "So what did you notice Miss Serena? what did you mean by Soul Power Overflow".
Serena looked at Leo body and finally, she found something on his back and on his chest. It was some kind of faint gray lines that went through all the chest, neck and the back.
Serena: "Its as I expected, he really does have a Soul Power Overflow".
Leo: "What? is it some kind of illness? I am gonna die?".
Serena: "On the contrary, not only you will live, you even gained great power. Tell me, do you have a magic ability?".
Leo: "No, I wasn't lucky enough like my mother. She has a magic ability while I don't. She told me that my father didn't have a magic ability but was a normal commoner who became a warrior".
Aquila: "Is Our mother a Mage?".
Leo: "No, she's a blacksmith".
Aquila: "Well, that's surprising. Who thought a Lady from the great Clifford family will be a blacksmith. So, Miss Serena can you tell what's his power?".
Serena: "You see, just like those who are born with magic abilities, there is also another natural gift given to any person in this continent and It's called 'Soul Power Overflow'. This power comes from the soul power(also caller spiritual energy) that a person has. They have great amounts of soul power more than normal and by that I mean way more than normal. For example, Leo here is only at the beginning of the master warrior level yet his soul power is almost nearing that of a Saint level warrior".
Aquila: "How is that possible? he should've exploded by now from the great soul power. His body won't be able to store all this much. This also doesn't explain how he's able to predict my moves".
Leo: "Exploded?!!!!!!!".
Serena: "Sigh, you don't need to be afraid. You won't even explode because your body has those gray lines which are the ones to store your soul power. That's why this kind of body is called The overflowed soul body. Normally, soul power comes from the mind and the soul sea. Thanks to those gray lines, you have a bigger store. Also, The power of predicting comes from you instinctively using your spirit to predict not only the moves but somehow the future".
Aquila: "0_0 0_0, Woow".
Serena: "Yes, perhaps in the future, if you train well, you will be able to predict the future and see your enemy moves no matter how fast they are".
Leo: "Yeeeaahhhh, I knew that I was destined to do great things. A city on this weak kingdom can't stop me. My true stage is the whole western continent Hahahahaha".
Aquila: "Why do I have a sense of Deja vu. I mean I am sure that I saw this before somewhere".
[AN: Yeah, but more like a badass way. Not like the Kid but with a great and calm Pride].
Serena: "Tell me, Leo, how much does it take to go to your mother from the Harbor?".
Leo didn't understand what she means but he still answered her.
Leo: " Well, the Harbor is in the west and Her shop is in the south. It will take me 2 hours to go there".
Serena: "Okay. Now, tell me, do you know what happened to The Clifford family but I am sure my mother knows about and she said that she will tell me when I get older".
Serena: "Hmmm, okay. Aquila, release him. Leo, tomorrow come here and you will take us to meet your mother. Of course, you don't need to be afraid, we're not your enemies or something. In reality, we're your family friends".
Aquila nodded as he heard what Serena said. The last thing they wanted is that Leo frightening and his mother also frightening and them living the city.
Aquila: "Okay. Kid, next time, just ask when you like a ship and I will let you go in the Ship".
Leo: "Yes uncle. I am sorry but I really wanted to see the ship no matter what. By the way, uncle, I still don't your name".
Aquila: "Oh yeah, I didn't tell you. Well, Kid, my name is Aquila. You can call me Uncle Aqui. I am a shadow beast".
[AN: I didn't know that you wanted to be an uncle].
Leo nodded as he heard Aquila introduction. He then wore back his clothes. He then took the rope and got down to the ground. He then waved to them and started running back.
Serena: "Who thought that we will meet the persons we wanted to meet just by staying in the Ship".
Aquila just looked at Serena with his eagle eyes and then started laughing. He remembered how Serena blushed.
Aquila: "Today, I discovered many things. One of them is that Even Miss Serena can blush sometimes".
Suddenly, the Cold gaze of Serena appeared again and was directed towards Aquila. Saya who got out of the training room and came out to the lawn deck.
She felt something weird and found Aquila and Serena looking at the ground.
Saya: (Did I miss anything).
______________
The Sun is disappearing and the day is ending. Eros and the others could be seen returning from the city as they headed towards The harbor and go to the ship.
Eros: "This city us more prosperous than Wadya city. They also are not very far away from the Alderstone mountains which gives them the trade route with one of the 5 empires not like the isolated Lefia kingdom".
Sophia: "We also got some information about the Clifford family although I didn't expect that they went extinct. This would've made His Highness the emperor Charles very sad".
Shira: "Still, they say the little Miss of the Clifford family escaped 20 years ago. This will also give us a chance to find her. She was at that time 20 years, it means now that she is 40. We will search for her and rescue her if she wants to come".
Star: "I don't think that she would stay in this city. After all, everybody here knows her and she will be captured immediately".
Lina: "No, she stayed here. According to the information, the Lord who wanted to capture her put over 1000 additional guards each year until its now almost 20000 guards at the way and he didn't stop even now".
Eros: "That still doesn't guarantee anything. She perhaps left without the guards knowing what happened. We said that we will stay for a day but now we need to stay for a day more. Tomorrow, we will tour around the city and if we don't find anything we will leave".
Seath is eating the meat that they took from the restaurant and didn't hear or care about the conversation. Saydon is walking and inspecting the place at the same time.
Lisa is also eating sweets that Eros bought for her. The bad thing is that the currency which is the gold coin of the Argalia empire didn't work anymore but they were rare and people searched for them as a way of showing someone collection.
When the auction saw how much money they gave them they started crying and thanked them because all that Argalian money will make them very famous very much.
In the end, Eros decided to give only a 1000 coin as they won't stay here that much. He has now 5000 thousand Argalian gold coins.
Finally, they reached the Ship and then Aquila dropped the ladder and made them go up. Aquila greeted them and asked them how they passed their day.
They found Saya and Serena drinking tea. They enjoyed this tea very much. It was also the only thing that Serena could do inside a kitchen.
Aquila: "Hey, Sir Eros, you won't believe what happened today, we found a Clifford kid who came here and tried to sneak in the Ship".
Eros raised his brow. He didn't believe it because the information hr gathered told him that the survivor is only a girl so the Kid must be lying.
Aquila: "He also has a mother who is a Clifford and She is even a blacksmith. I didn't believe it at first but after he told us some information I didn't have any reason to not trust him".
Eros and the others nodded as they heard Aquila story. what Eros wanted to find is why did the kid tell them the secret. Aquila then continued saying and acted a little strange.
Aquila: "I know that I might get killed which is impossible but that's why I will first do this".
Aquila then went and fused with Sophia shadow. He returned to his original form then coughed and said.
Aquila: "Now, The kid confessed his Love to Serena and she blushed because he said she's a beauty that's why he told us his secret".
After saying that, Aquila immediately disappeared.
Eros and the others: "0_0 0_0 0_0".
Everyone tried hard to keep their laugh but they couldn't. Finally, Eros and Seath are the first ones to give up as they started laughing nonstop.
Eros: "Hahaha, You got confessed to by a boy. Hahaha, be happy".
Seath: "Acting always calm and composed but when it comes to love you completely blush Hahahaha".
The girls started laughing but when they looked at Serena blushing face, they felt bad. They then turned to the guys and all said at the same time.
All the girls: "Shut your mouth".
