After making Alfred and the others fall into his trap, Leo and Cassandra soon return to their new house.
It was still early in the afternoon when they arrived, so Cassandra who had realized that she would surely feel bored in the house immediately suggested for Leo to go shopping with her.
However, Leo refused Cassandra respectfully as he just gave her one thousand gold coins to spend on her shopping while saying, "Sorry, I need to do something really important at this time."
As soon as Cassandra left, Leo right away left the house and told Eric to take him to Sword and Magic.
.....
Arriving in front of Sword and Magic, Leo went to request if he could talk to Madam Silva, to which she unexpectedly agreed.
"What do you need?" Madam Silva asked curiously while still reading a paper sent by her new assistant just a while ago. Since Alicia had already been transferred to Leo, she would naturally assign another one.
She can't help but be curious as to why Leo suddenly went to find her after the Silver Mage Academy's dismissal, hence she had allowed him to meet her despite being busy.
"Can I see all the missions that the Sword and Magic have handed to the Job and Request board?" Leo, without any hesitation, immediately stated his intention, which made Madam Silva feel intrigued.
"I'll allow you to view it if you tell me your reason!" Madam Silva said, finally turning all her focus to Leo.
"To easily earn points..." Leo replied embarrassingly.
After Leo heard from Teacher Marvin that the Mission Book was connected to the Job and Request board, also called the Job Bulletin, he immediately thought of a plan.
Leo had realized that if all the missions listed in the Mission Book were posted in the Job Bulletin, surely the Sword and Magic would also have their missions posted over there.
Considering that's the case, he thought of a way to make use of his connection with Madam Silva so that he could easily earn points.
Hearing Leo's reason, Madam Silva instantly understood what he truly wanted as she let out a laugh of amusement, "I can't believe that someone would actually be able to find a loophole to cheat the Academy's Reward System!"
Leo became more embarrassed hearing her calling his bright idea a 'loophole' and 'cheat'. He too could also see that it was indeed unfair, but it was too much to call it a loophole and a cheat. After all, he was still going to complete all the missions on the list, not receiving points without doing anything.
"How would the Second Prince react if he found out that the Reward System that he was so proud of was seen through by a mere 1st year student, and it was specifically only on the second day of entering the academy for this student?" Madam Silva said before she sounded a bell from her table.
After the bell sounded, a woman dressed in an assistant uniform soon walked inside, "How may I help you, Madam Silva?"
The woman has a petite figure; she has a well-rounded butt, a well proportion breast, slender legs, and her hair and pupil color are brown. She was wearing a fitting assistant uniform, which was so tight that it greatly showed her curves.
While pointing her finger toward Leo, Madam Silva said, "Angel, take him to where we put the list of the tasks we had handed to the Job Bulletin!"
"Also, give Leo the priority to accept all those missions! If other students from different Academies wanted to complete any missions related to Sword and Magic, please notify him first before handing the mission over to them." Madam Silva quickly added.
The assistant, Angel, immediately nodded her head in response. She didn't ask any more questions because she had already understood what Madam Silva wanted to say.
Angel looked at Leo as she thought in her mind, "What is so special about this young Noble?"
Ever since Leo became acquainted with Madam Silva, Angel couldn't help but notice that the Madam was always paying close attention to his whereabouts. She had currently not found anything special about the young man yet, which only made her want to know more about why Madam was interested in him.
After Leo and Angel leave her office, Madam Silva massages her forehead. The more she got to know Leo, the more she became interested in him. She thought deep in her mind, "Since you wanted to cheat the Reward System, then I'll help you abuse it!"
.....
The assistant named Angel soon took Leo inside a study room before telling him to wait for a minute.
Soon after, she returned with a book in her hand.
"This is the list of missions that the Sword and Magic had handed to the Job Bulletin. By the way, if you want to accept a mission, just come to Sword and Magic and call me so that we can give you the mission officially. There's no need for you to request to meet up with Madam Silva every time," Angel introduced the book and gave a few instructions before she handed it to Leo.
Leo accepted the book as he said, "Can I take this book?"
"Yes, you can, but be sure not to lose it because Madam Silva would surely get into trouble if someone finds out about this!" Angel nodded in confirmation while giving Leo a stern warning.
"Okay, please inform Madam Silva that I'm grateful for giving me this chance and that I'll surely return this favor to her one day!" Leo said before bidding farewell.
.....
Arriving outside of Sword and Magic, Leo looked around to find where Eric was waiting for him. There were a lot of carriages and wagons moving around the area, so he couldn't easily find where his chauffeur had parked their carriage at.
This was within expectations, this was, after all, the street where all of the businesses were located. A lot of carriages and wagons moving around are pretty normal around this area.
"Yow Leo, what are you doing here?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind Leo.
Leo quickly turned around his head and he soon spotted Alfred with a woman that he had not met yet. He hurriedly put the book inside his bag before he replied, "Just buying some books related to Magic. How about you?"
"Oh, I'm just here on a date with this lovely lady. By the way, this is Anna, the woman I'm trying to court!" Alfred introduces the woman without feeling embarrassed at all.
Hearing Alfred's words, Anna just let out a giggle, obviously showing that she doesn't mind him.
Leo started observing the woman named Anna from top to bottom. She was beautiful, but not really at the level of Cassandra. She had brown hair and brown eyes, typical for humans. Her figure was also acceptable, not so curvy and not so chubby.
"Good for you, be sure to treat her well. Since you both are on a date and my ride is already here, I have to go now!" Leo said as he walked towards Eric who was currently waving towards him.
Alfred was quick to understand that what Leo truly wanted to say was 'He has to go so that I won't be disturbing your date any further!'. He couldn't help but laugh at his brother's courteousness before he continued to walk the street while putting his hand around Anna's waist, which she didn't mind at all.
Returning to their house, Leo didn't see Cassandra anywhere, so he thought that maybe she was still having fun with her shopping.
After what she had just gone through when she was escaping from the Crimson Rose Kingdom, Cassandra was mentally exhausted and needed some time to relax.
Shopping was exactly the best way to solve this problem, especially for a woman.
Going to his room, Leo put down the book on the side of his bed before grabbing a towel. He was planning to try the outdoor hot spring on the third floor today since no one was in the house at the moment.
The moment he had seen that the house that Madam Silva had given them had an outdoor hot spring, Leo had always thought of trying it for himself.
Arriving on the rooftop, Leo took off his clothes and put them in an inconspicuous area on a wooden rack, then he covered his lower half with the towel he brought before walking inside the hot spring.
While walking inside, Leo could immediately smell a fragrance from some kind of flower, which he had thought was something that was added to make the water of the hot spring much more relaxing and the smell much more refreshing.
Leo thought in his mind while he was walking inside, "I should ask Alicia later about how to make the hot spring less foggy..."
It was indeed really foggy inside the hot spring. It was even to the point that it was somewhat hard to see the surroundings already.
However, it wasn't a big problem since hot springs were usually this foggy. But since Leo owned this hot spring, he wanted to specifically fix this problem as soon as possible to avoid any possible accident from happening.
Arriving in the shower, Leo washed his body for a few minutes before he started walking towards the hot spring water to finally try for himself the hot spring of his new house.
