'Why are you two looking at me!? It is not me who truly needs those items! ' He inwardly complains, afraid that he would enrage the beautiful lady in front of him.
*Cough* *Cough* Trying to give himself some sort of courage, he starts coughing while elbowing his friend; unfortunately for him, his friend is totally out of it.
He can only sigh inwardly and introduces himself: "Greetings, lady Lilith. I am Cleo Oriend. I am here to ask you on behalf of my friend for an item that is of your element."
"Oh, a man wants something like that? I might give you some of my items, but first, I need to know the reason for your request. As far as I know, such items are beneficial for females and considered poison to most males." She chuckles slightly, secretly activating her [Charm] in order to manipulate Leon's mind.
"To solve a problem of his, we still have no concrete detail regarding his condition, but there is a high chance that a yin attribute item might be able to help him," Leon answers carefully, not daring to look at the scene in front of him.
'It seems that he truly is immune to Lilith's charm; is it because he is oblivious to temptation? No! I have seen earlier that he is also attracted to the opposite gender; maybe he has an innate resistance towards mind-control abilities. I will test this conjecture later.' This flashes in Pure's mind.
'How can that be!? He is totally immune to my charm; I had already activated my bloodline to increase the power of my [Charm], but he is still unaffected.' Lilith is shocked.
"Sure, I can lend you some, but I want you to return here at a later date." She winks at him, causing him to blush slightly. This is the first time someone so beautiful is flirting with him.
The three finally left after obtaining a piece of stone that was very cold to touch. After leaving the establishment, Leon heaves a sigh of relief, grateful that the beautiful woman seems so busy.
"It seems that Lilith is now preparing to saturate her limit of the Supernatural Genes; once she awakens her bloodline, she has the power to contend with those of the top fifty on the ranking board," he says calmly, not caring about the gravity of his words.
'Top fifty! ' Leon is shocked; his friend, who is considered one of the bottom rankers, is already a lot stronger than him; those in the top hundreds are definitely a lot stronger than he can imagine.
"May I ask, where is Margaret Oriend on the ranking board?" He wants to know the current strength of his sister; from what he has seen, she has a high status in the academy and in the true world.
"Oriend? So you must be related; is she your sister or your cousin?" Pure is not that interested in Margaret; she might be a genius, but so was he, not to mention that, as a member of the top races, he is born with superior traits.
"Hmm, let us just say she is someone close to me. I apologise for not telling the whole truth, but I wish to not relate her that much to me, considering my meagre strength and low reputation." He smiles in an embarrassed manner.
Pure nods his head. He is unable to understand the feeling that Leon has, but he still understands his standpoint. He smiles and shakes his head. "Do not fret, young friend; I am too stubborn. To answer your question, she is currently in the top three hundred in the ranking, but according to many speculations, she will reach the top hundred sooner or later."
After hearing this, Leon clenches his fist tightly. It seems that he needs to work extra hard just to catch up with this sister of his. He sighs and decides that he will gather as much information as he can inside the academy.
With the rules and regulations imposed by the teachers and officers, he does not need to worry about dying without any reason. The only unfortunate thing is that he is unable to gain genetic enhancement while he is inside the academy.
"Thank you, by the way; you are the only reason why we managed to obtain the item that we sought; your presence was truly helpful for the both of us. I am ashamed to not even ask your name; it is a mistake on my side." He bows slightly to the monk.
Pure just chuckles, "Do not be ashamed, little friend; I think that it is fate that brought us; who would expect that I would meet a human that has some slight problem with his memories but is still accustomed to greeting like one of our race?"
"May I know where the two of you are staying? I wish to visit you during your free time and chat regarding the wonders of life."
Leon is quite surprised; he believes that this monk is somewhat of a stature; after all, they met one of the top rankers just because of his presence. To think that he values friendship this much, he cannot help but feel warm inside.
'As expected of a monk, they are truly kind and benevolent! ' He thought as he bowed his head full of gratitude.
"It will be my honour to be your friend, brother Pure. I just hope that my low reputation does not affect yours." Pure just laughs, not caring about what he said in the last part.
"Hmm, let me think, I think our room is at XZ 15." Hearing this, Pure is not surprised; he can sense that Leon is actually one of the weakest batch in the academy, but he does not care about this fact.
"I am grateful that you trust me with this information. I shall take my leave. My competitors are now growing stronger as we speak. I had only come out of my abode to clear my mind. I wish to tell you my humble place, but unfortunately, because of your current status, you are unable to enter the location of my place."
Leon just laughs it off, and he waves his hand. "Do not worry; I do not wish to impose on you any longer than this; I am already happy that you have helped us."
