With a plan in mind, Leon immediately began this new round of construction.
Just like that, two months flew by in the blink of an eye.
In the remaining two months, Leon was only able to construct an armor similar to the Mark 43.
As for the Mark 50 he had initially planned, for some reason he could not break through the limitations of nanotechnology, so he had to let it go.
But for the battles of today, the Mark 43 was sufficient.
After all, he was going for the coolness of the armor in the first place.
Future battles would still be dominated by magic, unless he managed to build a Gundam.
Once finished, Leon destroyed the blueprints and headed to the capital of the Clover Kingdom with Asta and Yuno.
Upon arriving at the capital, Leon looked at Asta who was acting like a social terrorist and put on an expression that said he did not know him.
After Yuno and Asta finished registering, Leon took out his Black Bulls uniform, put it on, and successfully entered the examination site under the pretense of going in to find their captain.
As soon as Leon walked in, he discovered that Yami was already holding Asta by the head.
At this, Leon could only express his speechlessness.
He walked over to Asta’s side and said to Yami, “Yo, Captain, long time no see.” After hearing Leon, Yami did not reduce the pressure in his hand.
At the same time he turned his head to look at Leon and said, “Who are you?” Hearing Yami’s indifferent tone, Leon felt a mouthful of old blood rising in his throat.
He had to clutch his chest, take a deep breath, and suppress it.
No, this was the examination site.
He could not start a fight, and he could not beat him right now anyway.
He absolutely could not start a fight.
After calming down, Leon spread his hands helplessly.
“It has just been five months since I went back.
There is no need for this, Captain Yami.” “But you accepted a mission and did not complete it, successfully causing our Black Bulls to lose a star.” Hearing this, Leon was even more speechless.
Seriously, the Black Bulls had already lost 31 stars.
Did his one really matter?
Just as Leon was about to retort, he heard the sound of fireworks in the distance.
That was the sound of fireworks signaling the start of the Magic Knights entrance exam.
Leon had no choice but to say he was going now to Asta and Yuno, then followed in Yami’s footsteps.
At dusk, the examination came to an end.
Asta was recognized by Yami Sukehiro just as in the original story, and eventually successfully joined the Black Bulls.
Finally, the sun set completely, and the group returned to the base using Finral’s Spatial Magic.
Just as Leon returned to the base, he saw Charmy pouncing toward him.
“Leon~ You’re back~” After successfully catching Charmy, Leon ate the cake she handed him and then began to rub her head.
Ah, her hairline was still as high as ever, but as long as she was cute, it was fine.
“I’m back.
Charmy, how many recipes have you mastered in the few months I have been gone?” “I’ve mastered them all!” Leon, who was constantly being fed by Charmy, could not help but feel shocked upon hearing that she had mastered them all.
He remembered telling Charmy over a hundred dishes, and all eight major cuisines were included.
To think she mastered them all in just five months, he could only say, as expected of a foodie.
After swallowing the cake in his mouth, Leon set Charmy aside, and then he summoned his weapon.
Holding the Gatling gun, Leon said to the people who were playing around with a very kind face, “Who the hell hit me just now!” But in the end, Leon did not fire, and it ended sloppily with Yami’s shout of “Don’t break anything.” Then, Yami introduced Asta to everyone and also had Finral introduce the members of the squad.
However, when it was Leon’s turn, Asta suddenly said in shock, “Eh!
Brother Leon, why are you here too!” Hearing Asta’s words, Leon could not wait to give him a burst of gunfire.
“You just noticed now, Asta.” During the subsequent examination time for Asta, Leon naturally watched the assessment.
Finally, when he saw Asta successfully gain everyone’s recognition, the corners of Leon’s mouth curled up involuntarily.
Sure enough, this scene felt very heartwarming no matter how many times he watched it.
Then, looking at the moon in the sky, Leon said with genuine happiness, “Asta, you have a reliable group of partners now too.” A few days passed.
Yami and Magna, who had gambled until they were left with only their cloaks and grimoires, returned to the base naked.
Then, through Yami’s explanation, Leon realized which plot arc this was.
So, feeling bored, Leon was just about to return to his room to continue his research when his shoulder was pressed down by Yami.
“You have to go too.” In the end, having failed to escape, Leon had no choice but to pilot his flying vehicle and follow closely behind Asta and the others to Soshi Village.
After successfully arriving at the forest near Soshi Village, Leon found a random open space to continue his research.
After researching for just a moment, Leon suddenly remembered an important matter.
He immediately hurried to find Magna.
“Magna!
There is no time to explain.
We need to get to Soshi Village quickly.” Then, without waiting for the three of them to be confused, Leon summoned his flying vehicle and told them to get on quickly.
“Magna, you direct me.” Subsequently, under Leon’s high-speed flight, the four of them soon arrived at Soshi Village.
Looking at Soshi Village, which was shrouded in mist, Leon’s eyes became serious.
He hoped they could make it in time.
When the four of them entered the mist, Leon immediately told Asta to use the Demon-Slayer Sword to cut through the mist.
Upon arriving at the square, they saw countless icicles floating in the sky, and Village Chief Soshi, who was about to be pierced by them.
“Bang!” A gunshot rang out, and then the icicle was seen shattering into thin air.
“Metal Creation Magic: Barrett.” After doing all this, Leon wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, “Looks like we made it in time!”
