At this moment, Leo finally arrived at Sword and Magic.
Quickly disembarking from the public carriage along with the dozens of net bags with the Magical Beast bodies and his hidden treasures, Leo could only shake his head helplessly. He doesn't have any choice at this moment but to go back and forth again and again in order for him to bring his harvest inside Sword and Magic.
Fortunately though, while Leo was carrying his harvest inside of Sword and Magic shop, Evangelion was coincidentally walking around the store too, checking out the shop's stocks. Seeing him carrying dozens of net bags, the latter quickly offered his help.
Soon after, Leo along with Evangelion was now carrying the dozens of net bags towards Madam Silva's office.
Though Leo could only carry 6 net bags while Evangelion could carry 18 net bags at the same time due to the Support Combination Magic spell that he had casted.
Leo really envied Evangelion's Support Combination Magic Spell at this moment. Actually, he was also using a Magic spell to easily carry 6 net bags by just simply reducing the weight of the net bags, but Evangelion on the other hand was actually just making the 18 net bags float up in the air while he was walking.
The difference between the normal casting of Magic spell and a Combination Magic spell was obvious just by watching the two of them. Normal Magic spell was also useful and strong, but the combination of two different Magic spells into one was obviously a lot stronger and more useful.
Combination Magic spells were something Leo had thought of doing, too. In fact, he had already thought of this theory yesterday in the villa's library. Combining two different Support Magic spells to cast a much more useful Support Magic spell.
Unfortunately, though, Leo wasn't able to have the free time to learn how to combine two Magic circles into one Magic circle, which was what he needed in order for him to cast a Combination Magic spell.
Well, teacher Marvin might teach about it next week. So Leo wasn't feeling in a rush. If teacher Marvin would also not teach about that, then he will just read books about how to combine 2 different Magic spells into 1 single Magic spell, problem solve.

"I guess you have another bountiful harvest this time again!" Evangelion can't help but to suddenly say. This was Leo's third time, after all, selling plenty of harvest to the Sword and Magic. He was also aware, too, that inside these seemingly unimportant Magical Beast bodies were a real treasure.
That was the sole reason why the transaction was always done within Madam Silva's office. Only the very important transactions can be done through the office of the Head, such as Leo selling large pieces of Mana stones.
Businesses such as Leo's were something that Evangelion should actually handle. But, since Leo was a VVVIP of all the branches of Sword and Magic in the Silver Kingdom due to Madam Silva's backing, such treatment of having the transaction in Madam Silva's office was obviously a given.
"Hehehe, I'm just lucky!" Leo humbly replied. He was indeed lucky. If he didn't coincidentally choose the mission of cleaning the West Sewer Management that one time, then he wouldn't have found out about such a high rewarding mission. Not only did he earn himself a generous amount of points for each Magical Beast he had killed, but he also got to keep all of his kills, hence giving him the opportunity to earn more.
Leo had also unexpectedly stumbled in a cave where the real treasure was hidden, too. If he didn't follow that Sewer Rat before, then he wouldn't be able to know about the 12 pieces of large Mana stones' existence and also the secret operation of the Black organization.
So, what happened to Leo could indeed only be described as him just being lucky.
"What is your secret?" Evangelion suddenly asked, "When I was still at your age while studying at Dragon Horn Empire's Red Dragon Mage Academy, missions with such bountiful rewards was something hard to find, especially in the case of a miscellaneous type of mission. Bountiful rewards could even be closely described as non-existing in such type of missions like yours!"
"I actually don't know too, hehehe..." Leo could only awkwardly reply.
Him choosing such a mission with bountiful rewards was actually not something he had thought he would even stumble himself upon. Everything was just nothing but a coincidence. From finding an easy miscellaneous mission to earning bountiful reward; from chasing after a Sewer Rat to finding the 12 pieces of large Mana stones and discovering the Black organization's secret operation later on. Everything wasn't something in his calculation. So, he naturally doesn't have any idea on how he had done such a thing.
"Eh? This is already your third time, right? There should be some sort of pattern that you have noticed, did you?" Evangelion quickly reasoned out. He still didn't believe Leo's answer. In his opinion, Leo was obviously hiding something.

One time could be called a coincidence, and a second time could be described as Leo just being lucky. But surely a third time is not something that he could still be described as mere coincidence and luck, right?
"I really don't know..." Leo answered.
"So... There is no pattern and reason at all?" Evangelion asked dubiously.
"Maybe there is one!" Leo said as he thought of something.
"What?!" Evangelion excitedly asked.
"I'm just lucky!" Leo said before letting out a laugh.
Hearing Leo's reason, Evangelion could only let out a laugh, too.
Leo had actually just repeated what he had said at first. No reason at all, it's just purely because of luck!
Well, Leo was indeed a lucky person. He even has 3... Oh, 4 beautiful girls actually, living in the same villa as him, without any fights or problems at all. Maybe that also applies to why he could find 3 bountiful rewarding missions, right? He might even stumble upon a fourth time the next time.
At this moment, Evangelion finally changed his bad impression about Leo. At first, he was also thinking the same as Angel. Thinking that Leo doesn't have any special capability to receive such high evaluation and admiration from Madam Silva.
However, now Evangelion could also see what Madam Silva sees in Leo; Leo, despite being young, has some kind of unexplainable or could also be called as an unreasonable capability that allows him to get something unexpected or undeserved for himself, or maybe he's just hiding a big secret that they still haven't discovered yet. And, despite getting all of those, he remains humble and continues to strive to become a much better person compared to who he was before.
It was really something that couldn't just be found that easily to young people nowadays, especially to young Nobles. The majority of the young Nobles these days were, after all, just youngsters that's acts all so proudly and arrogantly to the reputation and power that they didn't even earn for themselves. (Author's note: The specific reference about this was how the Class 1S+ students act like spoiled brats.)
On the other hand, Leo was standing on a mountain that he himself had to work hard to build. A young Noble that had actually put his hand on the ground, full of dirt, and would need blood, sweat, and tears, as he slowly but surely raises a mountain to stand on for himself.
Luck? Evangelion wasn't stupid to really believe such a reason. The only explanation to how Leo had earned such an encounter to himself was simply because he was hiding his real capability.
The capability that Madam Silva speaks so highly of!
The capability that Leo had earned himself through different experiences!
The capability that he, Evangelion, couldn't help but also admire!
Maybe that was also the reason why Madam Silva had thrown Angel, her very own student, in the hands of Leo. Maybe she had felt that her student would be able to improve more on his hand compared to staying as only her assistant.
Evangelion finally understood at this moment too, the difference between him and Madam Silva. Why he, a 5 Star Mage, was assigned as an assistant by the President and has instead assigned Madam Silva, a normal Human, as the Head of all the branches of Sword and Magic in Silver Kingdom.
Madam Silva could see something that even he, Evangelion, a 5 Star Mage, was incapable of seeing. That alone could already speak volumes of why the President had made her the Head of all the branches of Sword and Magic in Silver Kingdom when he agreed on the proposal of the King of Silver Kingdom.
"The President was indeed right! Madam Silva is one of the people that would be able to give our organization a new goal!" Evangelion suddenly said as he turned to look at Leo and thought in his mind, "And that brand new goal is definitely something related to this young man, Leo!"
"Huh?" Leo suddenly felt weird out as he looked at Evangelion's seemingly shining eyes, "What kind of thought is Evangelion currently thinking at this moment for his eyes to shine like that. Is he perhaps interested in me?"
"Dude, I'm straight!" Leo quickly said.
"Oh, and so do I, hahaha!" Evangelion said with a laugh.
After a few minutes of walking, Leo and Evangelion finally arrived at the door of Madam Silva's office. A door with a symbol of sword and book cross into each other. A symbol that the President of Sword and Magic had explained was the sole purpose of the Sword and Magic' existence, "Through Sword and Magic, the Humans will rise to its former glory once again! Members of the Sword and Magic organization, always remember this; one day, yes, one day, all of our countless battles using swords and Magic, we Humans will rise from these ashes on the ground once again, like how a phoenix rises back from its very own ashes!"
