Chapter 9 - Leo's Answer

After thinking about his decision for a while Leo finally managed to muster up the courage to ask "Would I have any say over who my ability is used on?" Hearing this Lucas's smile slightly dimmed before releasing a sigh and saying " Of course, you can help choose but what the guild says is final and there is nothing you can do about it." Hearing this Leo started to go against the decision he had made just moments before so he decided that with this last question, he'd come to his decision. "One last question what would happen if I refused the offer to join your guild?" Leo asked whilst showing a determined look towards the man in front of him. Seeing how disrespectful his son was being Thomas was going to say something but before he even got the chance Lucas replied whilst letting out some aura, "Well, in the very unfortunate event that you were to reject us we of course would proceed to torture you until we met eye to eye." Hearing these words all that Leo could say was "I knew it" before he finally gave up and accepted the offer with a saddened look on his face.

The reason that Leo didn't even try to resist a little is because of the rumours surrounding the Niflheim guild. Niflheim is considered by the public to be a pillar of society doing all that they can to help the human race but under all of their good deeds there exists a dark side. Some of the rumours that Leo has heard include multiple counts of murder, bribery and sometimes even something as extreme as rape. It is said that Niflheim will do anything to get what they want no matter who gets in their way this includes the World Adventurers Association or WAA who govern over all the awakened in the world making sure that they follow the rules and don't hurt citizens.

Coming to terms with what he had just been roped into Leo turned towards his father with a resentful gaze before respectfully asking if he may be allowed to leave. After being allowed to leave the two men Leo immediately exited the mansion going towards his training area in the woods.

After 10 minutes of silence, Leo arrived in his training ground along with his butler Sebastian. Starting to stretch, Leo ordered Sebastian to find a level 30 portal that he could enter along with a team that he could go with. Hearing this Sebastian quickly left his master going back to the main estate to look for a suitable portal.

After Sebastian had left Leo had finally finished stretching. Standing up Leo transformed into his wolf form whilst also using his [Summon pack] and [Summon wolf] to Summon a total of 4 wolves. After finishing with his preparation Leo along with his familiars dashed towards the training dummy in the centre of the training grounds. With a bang, the 4 wolf's and Leo smashed into the dummy causing a number to appear above its head. "1563." Leo began to think upon seeing the number. With this score I should be as strong as someone in the middle of rank C, thinking if this Leo started to wonder just how long it would be until he could kill his father and now with what the Niflheim guild has done to him he also wondered how long it'd be until he could murder every bastard in that damn place that had anything to do with recruiting him. Thinking this a huge smile began to appear on Leo's face as he started to imagine the feeling of ecstasy that he would get when he finally exterminated them from this world that would one day belong to him.

(1 week later)

Leo once again found himself standing in front of a portal. Taking a step back Leo for the first time closely inspected the structure in front of him. The portal had no solid object to contain it instead it was just a spiralling mass of energy that every once in a while would increase in size by a minuscule amount. After inspecting the portal structure Leo finally turned towards the notification that had popped up next to him.

Name: Bandit Village

Max level: 29

Max participants: 6

Time till break: 3 weeks

Seeing the familiar notification Leo quickly read through it before turning to the three people who would be his party for this portal. On his left, there was John the paladin from the Yetis Glacier portal. On Leo's right, there was a young girl no older than ten holding a staff with a red crystal this was Rosana a young fire mage who had recently joined the Ares guild. And finally right in front of Leo was a giant man that exuded a bestial aura. This man's name is Apollo.

When Leo first heard about Apollo's abilities he couldn't help but be a little surprised by the similarity with his ability [Werewolf]. Apollo's ability allowed him to transform into a half human half beast mutant of the last animal that he ate, so if he ate a dragon he could then turn into a half human half dragon which would drastically improve his power but on the other hand if he were to eat some bacon then he'd turn into a half pig. Because of things such as this Apollo has to be extremely careful of what he eats which is part of the reason he was able to develop such a monstrous physique.

After getting acquainted with his party members Leo began to walk forward towards the portal along with his party, excited for what his next adventure would hold.
