[Last Episode: The city streets beckoned, and he was ready to uncover its secrets and find his path to mastering his powers]

Chapter 52, Episode 52

[Leo explored the human world, taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling city]

[As he walked, his stomach began to growl, reminding him that he was hungry]

Leo: I'm very hungry... but the problem right now is I'm broke, Hmm, let me go to this fine building, then maybe, I can find food there at least!

[he said to himself]

[Leo entered the large building, and his eyes widened as he took in the opulent decorations and the rich people mingling and enjoying themselves]

Leo: Oh, this place is gigantic... I think it's a banquet... well, at least I came here to eat, I'm starving to death.

[he thought to himself]

[As he made his way to the table where food was being served, the chef stopped him]

"Hey kid, you can't come here and serve yourself, you'll be served automatically, so go and have a seat and we'll come to you."

[Leo nodded and took a seat, waiting for his food to be served]

[Meanwhile, the King and Queen sat on their thrones, welcoming everyone to the banquet]

[King Rigel spoke up, his voice booming across the room]

Rigel: Today, we celebrate our victory over the government...

[As the King lifted his cup filled with wine, everyone in the room followed suit, cheering and applauding]

[Leo watched, curious about the celebration and the King himself]

[Leo's eyes scanned the room, his mind preoccupied with the king's words]

Leo: Winning over the government??, hmm suspicious... well, that doesn't peak my interest at the moment, I came here to eat and go...

[As he devoured his food, a sudden commotion caught his attention. A woman named Lila, renowned for her 20 years of experience in swordsmanship and power, entered the room]

[The crowd erupted in adoration and worship, but Leo remained confused, his mouth filled with food]

[Lila approached the king and queen, bowing down in honor]

[Queen Christina rose from her throne and walked towards Lila]

Christina: Dear Lila, after so many years of hard work and effort, I shall appoint you as our royal main guardian in this country.

[She said]

[Lila's face lit up with joy]

Lila: My queen, it's an honor to serve you and the King. I shall protect you with my life, as well as everyone in this room, even if it costs my life.

[she vowed]

[King Rigel smiled, nodding in approval]

Rigel: Very well, Lila. You have been given the title 'Rose Acquaintance,'

[he declared, prompting a loud cheer from the crowd]

[Leo's eyes widened in confusion]

Leo: What's going on??.. Why is everyone cheering for her??!!

[he thought to himself]

[As the crowd returned to their conversations, Lila took her seat, awaiting her food]

[Suddenly, a man approached her, his voice laced with challenge]

"Just because you've been appointed to a higher position doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!!"

[Lila's expression turned icy]

Lila: What made you have the right to talk to me like that...

"Why you little... "

Lila: You still got the nerve to speak to me!

[she retorted]

[The man's hand went to his sword, drawing it swiftly]

[Panic spread through the room, but Leo remained unfazed, his focus fixed on his food not caring about the scenes happening around him]

[As Leo finished his food, he decided to leave the banquet, uninterested in the commotion]

[However, before he could make his exit, the man seized an opportunity and grabbed Leo tightly, demanding the king and queen's titles]

"I want you to give me everything you have, and I'll let this man go"

[The man threatened]

[Leo sighed, his eyes rolling in annoyance]

Leo: Mr., can you please free me, or there would be consequences?

[he said calmly]

[The man sneered]

"Silence, I'm not listening to a pulp guy like you."

[Lila warned the man to release Leo, but he refused]

"You were just appointed as the King and Queen's heir a minute ago, so use your skills to defeat me"

[He taunted]

[However, unbeknownst to the man, Leo had already freed himself]

[As the man looked down at the hostage he thought he was holding, he was shocked to find that Leo was gone without a trace]

[The room fell silent, with everyone, including the King and Queen, genuinely surprised]

[Rigel's voice boomed]

Rigel: How did that man manage to swipe in and leave... Anyway, guards, seize this man and lock him into the dungeon..

[The man was later sentenced to death for threatening the King and Queen themselves]

[Meanwhile, outside the banquet hall, Leo went about his day as usual]

[Lila came out to look for him, wanting to ask him questions, but he was nowhere to be found]

[The next day, the King made a huge announcement to everyone in the country]

Rigel: Whoever can rival my guardian in the arena battlefield would become my second heir.

[he declared]

[The crowd was abuzz with questions.]

"But who can really beat Lila?" they wondered"

[Two hours passed, and countless people came to challenge Lila in the arena]

[However, they all failed, and the crowd continued to cheer for Lila as the strongest person in their country]

[Then, Leo appeared, standing in front of Lila. Lila recognized him, and so did the King and Queen]

Lila: You, I remember you from the banquet, you were held hostage. But can you really beat me or even land a hit on me

[Lila said, her eyes narrowing]

[Leo's response was calm and confident]

Leo: How would I know if we haven't fought yet?

[Lila's expression turned stern]

Lila: Are you trying to taunt and mock me?

[she asked, her voice firm]

[Leo shook his head]

Leo: No, it's common sense.

[he replied calmly]

[Lila's eyes narrowed]

Lila: Common sense? You're irritating me. I'd like to see you grovel and beg for mercy!

[she said, drawing her sword]

[With a swift motion, Lila charged towards Leo, her sword flashing in the light]

[Leo dodged her swings with ease, his movements fluid and precise]

[Seizing an opportunity, Leo caught the blade and landed a devastating punch, sending Lila stumbling back]

[The crowd gasped in shock, and even the King and Queen were stunned. Lila's eyes widened in astonishment]

Lila: What... impossible. He was able to attack while dodging. Tell me, who are you?

[she said, her voice barely above a whisper]

[Leo's response was calm]

Leo: My name is Leo. I'm just a regular human being.

[Lila's eyes narrowed, suspicion etched on her face]

[She decided to try again, amplifying her power and swinging her sword at Leo with incredible speed]

[Leo kept up with her swings with ease, his movements a blur]

Lila: I am going so fast, you can't even land a hit on me... this is the end.

[Lila declared]

[However, Leo didn't hesitate. With a smile, he moved with incredible speed, catching up to Lila in a millisecond]

[Lila was astonished, backing away in surprise]

Lila: What... I didn't see his move.

[she stammered]

[Leo's screen appeared in front of him, and Satanael's voice spoke]

[Satanael]

"You can master your main magic by channeling your energy power into the Mana Comet Band."

[Without hesitation, Leo amplified his comet band, finally achieving his main power]

Leo: Perfect, Thanks for amplification Satanael!

[he said, a smirk on his face]

[With a flourish, Leo generated the Kaos Star Sword]

Leo: Say your prayers!

[he said, swinging the sword in a single, deadly motion]

[Lila was slashed, blood appearing as she collapsed to the ground]

[The crowd was shocked, the King and Queen exchanging worried glances]

"Who is this guy?"

[The crowds whispered to each other]

[Leo's expression remained calm]

Leo: I better leave here before I seek any attention from them. I also have to return back!

[he thought to himself, With that, he turned to leave, disappearing into the crowd]
