After the successful rescue of Dandelion, the branch of Sword and Magic of the Blacksmoke city immediately ordered the return of their merchant caravan back to Silver City as soon as possible.

Apparently, the Sword and Magic doesn't want to further involve the transportation of their products to the mess that had just happened in Blacksmoke city, hence they immediately sent them away.

Despite being unwilling, Claude was left to manage the investigation of those unknown groups of people, though. He was a member of the Blacksmoke Household, after all. Hence, naturally solving a problem related to their city is indisputably his task.

At this moment, Leo and the others have finally arrived at Blacksmoke canyon after the merchant caravan of the Sword and Magic left really early from Blacksmoke city. Their merchant caravan immediately became vigilant soon after from any possible bandit attacks as they moved inside the canyon. Fortunately though, not a single bandit had attacked them until they finally reached Heart city. From Heart city, they then change direction toward Silver city.

Before dawn, the merchant caravan had finally arrived back at Silver city.

After reaching Sword and Magic, they bid farewell to each other as the others went back to their own school to report the completion of their mission.

Leo and Cassandra weren't able to go back to Silver Mage Academy yet at this moment though, since Madam Silva had specifically called out for them immediately as soon as they arrived.

Getting inside her office, Madam Silva was standing at the window while staring at something outside.

"Everyone would want to see what's behind every wall, that's why the windows were invented to allow people to know what's behind." Madam Silva said as she turned her head towards Leo and Cassandra. She continued, "I received the report of the merchant caravan the moment they reached Blacksmoke city. It was said that it was you that killed all the Bandit Mages and had then saved the merchant caravan. I'm grateful for what you did, but can you explain to me in details about what really happened? If you don't want to, then it's okay. If you don't want to explain, then I will just be force to make a window myself to see what's behind your unknown wall." Her face suddenly turned solemn.

At this moment, Leo wasn't a surprise at Madam Silva's reaction at all, since everyone who was with him at that time also wanted to know what he had done to cut those bodies in half, mutilate, or turned the bodies into meat paste.

Even a blind person would what to see what he was hiding behind his wall despite not even having the ability to see. Simply put, what he had done was a really curiosity inducing thing.

"I understand that everyone has a trump card up in their sleeves for themselves, but if that trump card you hold is something evil, then sadly I will have to forcefully terminate our contract. I cannot allow something evil to grow within the humans as it might destroy our entire race, especially if I was the one growing this evil!"

Leo nodded his head as a response. He had already expected this situation. He fully trusted Madam Silva, hence he doesn't mind showing it to her. Also, he knew that she's not the type that would do anything to harm him just to get his power.

With a wave of Leo's hand, a being made entirely of rock slowly materialize in front of them. Finally, it had completed its form as it revealed a Magical Entity, specifically an Earth Elemental.

Madam Silva was immediately taken aback as soon as the Earth Elemental completed its form in front of her. She can't help as she even retreated a few steps while staring widely towards the Earth Elemental. She was really shock beyond belief. This was actually not her first time looking at an Elemental, but this was her first time seeing someone being able to control and summon them.

Even Cassandra at the side almost lost her balance as soon as the Earth Elemental appeared in front of her. Though she immediately regained her calm as she knows that Leo will do anything harmful to her using that Earth Elemental.

At this moment, Madam Silva tried to inhale and exhale to calm her panic nerves. After finally being able to relax, she looked at the Earth Elemental one more time as she began sizing it up from its head to toe and every inch and edges, of its being.

Madam Silva could see clearly that it was an authentic Earth Elemental. It has the same form as those she had seen in the past, but this one in front of her though wasn't as violent and destructive as those other Elementals. The Earth Elemental wasn't even affecting anything within her room, unlike those Elementals who would cause destruction and chaos at its every move the moment it appeared.

Soon after, Madam Silva began walking towards the Earth Elemental, not showing a least bit of fear at all. She then put her hand at its body. It was rough, the same feeling she could get from rocks, though it was still unlike other rocks as it was delicate at the same time, too. The rock was also well formed, its like every rock at its body was made to serve its specific purpose and reason. In short, it was really marvelous!

"I can't believe I would be able to touch a living Earth Elemental!" Madam Silva can't help but exclaimed as her excitement boiled in her body. She had seen Elementals before and had even touched their lifeless bodies. Those were already dead, though. But this Earth Elemental in front of her was alive. It could move and was seemingly breathing too, and she had also realized that living and nonliving Elementals were actually really different.

The moment an Elemental dies its body would just turn into an ordinary material such as rock or even disintegrate into nothing if the Elemental was made out of wind, fire and water, or other such kind of Elements, only its core would remained useful from its body.

However, those were dead ones. On the other hand, this Elemental in front of Madam Silva was alive, and she could clearly see that the rock that formed its body seems alive. Really different from the dead ones. The rock could move on its own and even extend, reduce, or form other shapes, unlike those dead ones that have turned into ordinary object.

Leo also felt the same as Madam Silva the moment he had formed an Elemental at first. In the past, he really thought that their form was what they really look like, but he had quickly changed his mind after reading a book about Elementals.

Each Elementals actually has a different form and shapes despite being the same Elements. Some choose to turn into birds, lions, or other creatures that the Elemental liked. They were flexible and can turn any parts of its body into something that they wanted.

This was the real the reason as to why Leo was able to turn Ban into meat paste, unlike those others that were only cut into multiple pieces from before. The Earth Elemental hand was able to turn into a big hand trapping the latter's body, hence the latter was then turned into a meat paste when he ordered the Earth Elemental to clasp its hand.

"How are you able to do this?" Madam Silva said as her attention was now drawn towards Leo, the person who could order and summon this Elemental.

"I also don't know. One day, I woke up and realized that I was already able to summon an Elemental by simply absorbing the different Elements of Mana around the air. Though the Elemental isn't actually as powerful as those other born through nature..." Leo explained. Obviously, he was going to lie since if he tells the truth that it was through his right palm and other people unknowingly got to know this information, they would likely then cut his right hand since that was the part he had used to absorb the Mana and hence form an Elemental.

Madam Silva nodded her head, totally believing what Leo had said to her. She had already seen and got to know of something similar happening to other Humans and other people from the Foreign races. Receiving unknown power from unknown sources or reason.

To be honest, The President and the two Vice-president of Sword and Magic were actually also the same, as they had mysteriously gained a unique ability when they were still young.

Realizing that her concern was already solved, Madam Silva then motioned to Leo and Cassandra that they could already leave. She wasn't worried anymore since knowing him, he would surely not use his ability to do evil deeds.

"This time, could the Sword and Magic possible be able to pull another powerful member, once again? Time to report to the President!" Madam Silva said as she sat back on her chair before grabbing a paper and a pen to begin writing her report.
