Zao continues to ignore Weng, and this angers him due to Zao's indifference towards him. This prompts Weng to turn his attention back to Leo and say,
"Why did you even come to this school? Someone like you won't go far. Remember, no matter what you do, you won't become a superhuman."
Weng said this while glaring at Leo, whom he viewed as an ant going nowhere in life.
Upon hearing Weng's words, Leo reacted and locked eyes with Weng. Leo also reflected on everything since he entered the academy. Someone like him, without a background, would not be accepted anywhere, whether normal or superhuman. Despite this, he remained determined to finish, no matter what.
As Leo locked eyes with Weng, the two of them stared at each other seriously, with Leo ignoring the gaze he knew could have brought Weng down from the start if not for one of the nobles being with him. He turned away and left the two.
Leo glanced back at Weng until he was no longer visible. Clenching his fist, Leo resolved not to lose to anyone.
Beside him, Zao was looking at Leo and called out,
"Leo, just ignore Weng. You know since the first year he's been trying to bring you down. As long as I'm here, I'll help you as your friend."
Zao advised Leo not to pay attention to someone like Weng. He smiled at Leo, patted his back, and said,
"Don't worry."
Seeing Zao's actions, Leo stopped following where Weng had gone and looked at his friend, Zao, who was smiling, and said,
"Thank you, Zao. If it weren't for you, everything wouldn't be easy for me. Rest assured, I'll also repay you someday."
The two chatted and laughed. Leo went to his classroom, and so did his friend.
As the day was ending after Leo's class, he stared out the window and packed his things. He left and walked towards his apartment.
Unexpectedly, while walking, Leo didn't notice a hooded man following him to his apartment. When they reached the apartment where Leo lived, the man took Leo's phone from his pocket and made a call.
"Boss, I know where Leo lives. What should I do to him?"
Amidst the noisy and crowded buildings, one of the largest buildings stood out. A man inside, his face unseen, was drinking wine. When he answered the call, he said
"Finish it. That's the young lord's order. Don't leave any evidence. It needs to be clean."
After saying that, he hung up and looked down at the bustling cars outside the building. In that building, a beautiful moon could be seen.
In the place where the hooded man was, he returned his phone and observed where Leo entered. Suddenly, he disappeared as if he were air, leaving no trace.
Once Leo entered his apartment and turned on the lights, he was surprised by what he saw. There was a man standing in front of him, wearing a black hoodie and a mask, making his identity unrecognizable. The man in black glanced at Leo, took something from his pocket, and suddenly vanished like a bubble. Three seconds later, he was behind Leo and swiftly stabbed him in the back. Leo was caught off guard, tumbled down, and lay in his own blood. Despite trying to move towards the door, the man in black merely watched Leo as if toying with him. Afterwards, the man took Leo's phone, snapped a picture of a bleeding Leo on the ground, returned the phone, grabbed his knife, and plunged it into Leo's neck.
Confused by the sudden attack, Leo, who only wanted to survive, met an unforeseen fate. Leo stared at the man until he lost his life.
The hooded man watched the lifeless Leo before casting a spell to conceal any evidence. He then looked at Leo's house to check everything. After that, he took Leo's body, disappearing suddenly like the wind.
