    Chapter 38: Magic System


    “Do you want to start training now?” Nina asked Leo sometime after Miss Camille left.


    “No, I am not in the mood to train today. I still have a lot of things to think about. See ya.” Leo left the Training Center shortly after.


    After returning to his room, Leo looked at Lilith and asked her, “What do you think about this whole resurrection situation?”


    “Resurrection magic isn’t something humans should mess around with,” she said.


    “To tell you the truth, I don’t understand why you would help that little girl. Is she, who has only caused trouble for you, more important to you than Miss Camille?”


    “What? Of course not. However, I have my own reasons. Even if I don’t want to help her, I am being forced to help her.”


    “Who’s forcing you? Nina? Even if she exposes your secret to the world, what about it? It’s not that strange for ‘Leo’, who has disappeared for three months, to suddenly be able to start using magic. A lot can happen in three months, you know. And there are many phenomena that ur in this world that nobody can exin. Your existence is one of them, Leo.”


    “I couldn’t care less about Nina’s threats. Something else is forcing me to help her.” He sighed.


    “Something? What is?” She asked.


    Leo did not immediately respond and pondered, ‘Since nobody besides myself can see or hear her, it should be fine if I tell her about the magic system… hopefully.’


    He eventually came to a decision.


    “What I am about to tell you is going to sound crazy, but it’s true.” Leo said with a serious expression on his face.


    “Let’s hear it.” Lilith smiled.


    Leo took a deep breath and proceeded to tell Lilith about the Magic System that has been assisting him from the shadows.


    Lilith had a dumbfounded look on her face by the end of it.


    “So you’re telling me that you have this… uhhh… ‘System’ that only you can see and interact with, and it’s forcing you to help Nina or you will be punished?” She asked him for confirmation.


    “That’s right. It sounds crazy, right?”


    “I mean… Of course… But it’s not that ridiculous if I think about it. After all, you came to this world from another world. Furthermore, this ‘System’ sounds like advanced technology, which already exists in this world to a certain extent.”


    “Huh? What do you mean?” Leo asked with interest.


    “There is something called a Brain Chip in this world, where you can imnt some kind of chip into your brain, which allows you to see things that only people with a Brain Chip can see.”


    “What kind of sci-fi bullshit is that?! I thought this was a magic world! It is amon trope for worlds with magic to have weak technology! This ce is theplete opposite!” He eximed.


    “I have no idea what you’re talking about, but that’s just how it works here, I guess.” Lilith shrugged.


    “Hey, Leo, why don’t you just tell Miss Camille about the Magic System? This way, she won’t be angry at you for helping Nina. I’m sure she’ll understand. Or do you not trust her enough to tell her because you’re worried that she might tell everyone?” She suddenly suggested.


    “What? Of course I trust her! However, I don’t want to sound crazy, and I’m not sure that she’ll believe me.”


    “You won’t know until you try.” Lilith said.


    After pondering for some time, Leo said, “All right, I will tell her. It’ll be more convenient for me if she knew about it since she could help me if I ever need it.”


    “That’s what I’m talking about!” Lilith smiled.


    “By the way, regarding resurrection magic, although no humans have ever seeded in resurrecting another human, vampires have been able to do so before, so Miss Camille was wrong about that.”


    “What? Seriously?”


    “Yes, but only certain vampires with a certain bloodline could do so, and they’re some of the most powerful vampires out there.”


    “Is that so…”


    “Anyways, tell me more about this Magic System, Leo! It sounds so interesting!” Lilith suddenly said.


    “I refuse! And I am going to look for Miss Camille now to tell her about the Magic System!”


    Leo quickly left his room and searched for Miss Camille.


    ‘She should have went home after she left, right?’


    He decided to visit her home since that was the only ce he could think of.


    After signing out at the gate, Leo took a taxi to Miss Camille’s home.


    Fortunately, he’d seen and memorized her address when she became his Sponsor.


    About fifteen minutester, Leo paid the taxi fee and approached Miss Camille’s address.


    “Seriously? She lives in this mansion?” Leo was stumped when he arrived at a massive building.


    He double checked the address of the ce just in case he messed up.


    ‘This is definitely the address Miss Camille had written down…’


    After taking a deep breath, Leo pressed the doorbell outside the gate.


    A few ringster, an unfamiliar female voice resounded, “This is the Light Family’s household. Who am I speaking to?”


    “Hello, I am not sure if I am in the right ce, but I am Leo, and I am looking for Miss Camille.” He spoke through the microphone near the doorbell.


    “Leo?”


    The female voice repeated, sounding a little annoyed.


    ‘She sounds annoyed… or maybe it’s just me…’ He thought to himself.


    “I will open the gates. Wait a moment.”


    A few secondster, the gates opened.


    After entering the property, Leo walked to the mansion in the distance.


    Before he could even reach the door, someone opened it and walked out.


    This person was an elegant youngdy wearing a maid outfit. She had short ck hair and a pair of round, blue eyes that glistened like a jewel.


    ‘Who is this girl?’ Leo didn’t recognize her.


    “I am Lady Camille’s maid, Sophie. What business do you have with mydy?”


    ‘Whoa… Miss Camille has a maid? Seriously?’ Leo felt a little envious.


    “I have something important to tell her.”


    “Can’t you just tell her tomorrow?”


    “I can, but I don’t want to. I think it would be better for the both of us if I told her about it as soon as possible.”


    “Unfortunately, I don’t think Miss Camille will be able to hear what you have to say today.”


    “What? Why not? I know she’s angry at me, and that’spletely my fault, but that’s exactly why I need to speak with her as soon as possible!”


    “That’s not why she won’t be able to speak to you.”


    “Then what’s the reason?” He asked.


    Sophie remained silent for a moment before speaking, “I think it would be better for you to see for yourself. Follow me.”


    Leo had an uneasy feeling in his guts about this, but he followed her into the building regardless.


    Shortly after entering the mansion, Leo could hear some muffled noisesing from the second floor.


    As he got closer, he could hear someone shouting at a low volume, “How dare he betray me!”


    “…”


    ‘Was that Miss Camille?’ He swallowed nervously.


    Sometimeter, Sophie stopped in front of a door and turned to look at Leo.


    “Miss Camille is behind these doors. However, don’t open the door until I tell you to do so.”


    After saying these words, she proceeded to take a few steps away from the door.


    “You may open the door now, but you should watch your head.”


    Leo raised an eyebrow at her words.


    After taking a deep breath, Leo slowly opened the doors.


    Whoosh!


    Before he could even see the inside of the room, something flew right past his face before smashing the wall behind him.


    Leo turned to look behind him in a stiff manner.


    ‘What the hell? A bottle of wine?’ He said inwardly after seeing the bottle of smashed wine on the floor and the wall that had been stained in red.


    He quickly opened the door to see the situation inside, and to his absolute shock, it was aplete mess inside.


    Most of the furniture were turned, and there were ss bottles all over the floor and table. The ce looked like it had been ransacked by robbers.


    However, the most shocking of all was the person inside.


    Miss Camille, who always appeared dignified and noble, was in an absolute mess.


    “W-What the hell happened to her?” He turned to look at Sophie for answers, who was staring at him with a look of disdain.


    “I am also wondering that. Maybe you have an idea, Leo?” she answered in a sarcastic voice, leaving him speechless.


    ‘Is she seriously acting like this because of what happened today? Isn’t she overreacting a bit? She’s acting like someone had killed her parents!’ He cried inwardly.
