Hearing Leo's words, Ahmed and Brad can't help to turn their heads and looked at him dubiously. In their opinion, no normal person could ever easily kill a Magical Beast, that was the exact reason why the Eclipse village only has Mages and Magical Knights as warriors, and the normal people could only do the miscellaneous work.

In Eclipse village, there are three different classes of people. First, the Elders, the people who are on the top of the hierarchy. They are the wise ones who have a lot of experience and knowledge about a lot of different things. There are only two Elders in Eclipse village though, specifically Chief Lago and the leader of the Dragon Division. Second, the Mages and Magical Knights, the people who are second in hierarchy. They are the ones who, almost all of the time, fight against the Magical Beast. This also includes Ahmed, Brad, Jasmine, Piero, and many more who will participate in the coming of age competition next week. And lastly, the Workers, the people at the very bottom of the hierarchy. They are the people who will do the miscellaneous work for the Eclipse village.

"You don't believe me?" Leo said, "Naturally, words wouldn't be enough to prove it, so how about we go out to the Twilight Forest and I'll show you what I meant."

"Are you really serious? You are also a Mage, so you might add some kind of a Magic spell in your weapons or something similar!" Brad rolled his eyes in disbelief.

"Just observe the Mana around me, in such a way you will know whether I'm really using a Magic spell or not," Leo said as he walked out of the hut along with Levi who is still sleeping on his shoulder.

"Sounds fair to me!" Ahmed replied as he stood up from his bed, "What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

"Are you really sure about this...?" Brad said with obvious hesitation in his voice.

"If worse comes to worst, then let's just save him from danger."

"Okay!"

.....

After a while, Leo and the others finally arrived somewhere located on the outskirts of Twilight Forest.

Observing around the place, Leo can't help but feel amazed about the beauty of the Twilight Forest.

Truth be told, this was actually the first time he had ventured into Twilight Forest. In the past, the only places he could go were Blacksmoke Canyon and Smoky Mountain nearby Blacksmoke city, the forest around Heart city, and Hundred Hills, specifically located in the Southern region of Silver Kingdom. Although the Twilight Forest was also located in the Southern region, he still didn't try venturing this place since it was labeled as a Danger Zone. Usually, it's only his two senior brothers who have tried going in this place. Despite expecting himself to also be able to come here one day, he didn't expect that it will be this soon. In his expectations, he would venture into this place when he's 20 years old or something more than that age.

In front of him was a really tall forest, with a lot of fireflies and some creatures giving light flying around the place. Although it was still in the early morning or mid-morning, the place was already dark. Maybe this is the reason why it was called the Twilight Forest.

Moreover, there were a lot of mushrooms and tall grasses everywhere. Also flowers and some plants that can live in such a habitat where the light of the sun could hardly reach.

Walking inside, Leo immediately saw some Magical Beast, though they swiftly run away the moment they sense their presence.

"Hey, what's wrong with the Magical Beast? Aren't they acting so weird?" Brad can't help but asked after he noticed the strange behavior of the Magical Beast that they have met along their way.

"It's because of that little one." Ahmed pointed at the currently sleeping Levi, "That's the exact reason why I was able to catch a lot of fishes. He scared them away towards my net."

Hearing Ahmed's words, Leo quickly woke up Levi, "Hey wake up!"

"Whattt~!" Levi replied with a mix of a yawn as he stretched his body.

"Can you not scare the Magical Beast away from us?" Leo requested.

"But what's wrong with that?" Levi asked while wearing innocent-looking eyes.

"We can't train," Leo said as he shrugged his shoulders off.

Levi fly up as he said, "Okayyy~!"

After doing that, Magical Beast finally started approaching them after a few meters of walking deeper inside Twilight Forest, specifically 15 Magical Beast.

There were five Sharp Teeth Rabbits, five Long Horn Deer, and five Stone Monkeys. Simply put, just some normal No Star Magical Beast.

Ahmed and Brad quickly took out their weapons, specifically a long sword for the former and a short sword for the latter, as they position themselves for battle.

"Look, we are now surrounded!" Levi acted helplessly, "It's all your fault if we die here, Leo!"

Leo just simply smiled mischievously as he quickly took out a random dagger inside teacher Homer's Storage Ring. The storage Ring was still with him since he forgot to return it back to teacher Homer. He will just return this the moment he returns back to Silver Mage Academy.

"Just stay in defense and watch me fight!" Leo announced as he suddenly threw Ahmed and Brad some random shields he took out from the Storage Ring before he quickly dashes in front, specifically towards the five Stone Body Monkeys, since they were the most dangerous compare to the other two Magical Beast.

A Stone Monkey wasn't literally a monkey made out of stone. There are just a few parts of its body where it's covered with stone, specifically both feet and hand, and its chest and back.

Seeing Leo running towards them, the five Stone Monkeys replied with their own as they decided to meet him in the middle.

Leo just smiled mischievously, seeing their action as he unexpectedly jumps to the side, and then jumps straight towards one of the Stone Monkeys.

*Pluck!

The dagger easily penetrated through a Stone Monkey's shoulder, as Leo then quickly used it to propel to another Stone Monkey and kicking it straight to the face to return back towards the first Stone Monkey.

*Whooosh!

Afterward, Leo quickly pulled the dagger, slid to the side, and quickly slitting the first Stone Monkey's neck.

*Slash!

Leo then slid down below the first Stone Monkey right after, which is going straight toward the third Stone Monkey as he then quickly slashed the left knee using the right hand, swiftly passed the dagger to the left hand to slash the right knee.

*Slash! *Slash!

Leo then hugged the body of the third Stone Monkey, who had lost its balance and moved to the back before quickly slashing the neck.

*Slash!

Soon after, Leo picked up ten pebbles from the ground and threw it straight towards the five Sharp Teeth Rabbits and five Long Horn Deer, who were currently trying to break Ahmed and Brad's defense, hence attracting them towards him.

*Whoosh! *Whoosh! *Whoosh! *Whoosh! *Whoosh!

Leo just simply taunts the five Sharp Teeth Rabbits and five Long Horn Deer using his right hand to enraged them, before quickly ducking down to avoid the second Stone Monkey's fist, then did a leg locked to lock its head and pulled him downwards to his chest before quickly slashing a dagger to its neck.

*Slash!

Leo then rolled to the side, jump forward to stand up, then run towards the back of a tall tree.

The two remaining alive Stone Monkeys, the five Sharp Teeth Rabbits, and five Long Horn Deer quickly followed after Leo.

*Whooosh!

Unexpectedly though, Leo suddenly appeared, falling up above a Long Horn Deer, and then quickly grabbing the two horns to propel himself towards the circle of the five Sharp Teeth Rabbits.

Arriving in the middle of the five Sharp Teeth Rabbits, Leo then began slashing them, since they were small, so making them continuously bleed blood was enough to kill them.

*Slash! *Slash! *Slash! *Slash! *Slash!

After causing a wound enough to cause the five Sharp Teeth Rabbits to die out of bleeding, Leo then runs towards the five Long Horn Deer. And as soon as he arrived close to them, he suddenly took out another dagger from his hidden pocket using his left hand, slid down, and began slashing their ankle, causing all of them to fall straight down with face first.

*Slash! *Slash! *Slash! *Slash! *Slash!

Afterwards, Leo pushed using his two feet and waist to stand up as he then runs straight towards the two charging Stone Monkeys.

Swiftly, Leo jumped forward, and then suddenly threw the two daggers straight towards the Stone Monkey's neck.

*Whoosh! *Whoosh!

*Pluck! *Pluck!

Leo then rolled forward, stand up from behind the suffering Stone Monkey's, grabbed both the daggers, and slit them.

*Slash! *Slash!

After doing that, Leo began walking towards the five crippled Long Horn Deer as he then began ending their lives once and for good.

Leo then looked at the five Sharp Teeth Rabbits as he soon noticed that all of them had already died of bleeding. He just smiled mischievously as he looked at the dumbfounded Ahmed and Brad.

"Do you believe me now?" Leo slowly walked towards them.

Meanwhile, Levi was laughing loudly while flying up above them, "Hahaha, their reaction is really good to look at!"
