This period of cultivation didn't seem to be very short, but because of Leo's desperate energy, he felt that time passed quickly. After all, no matter how big the difference in strength between them is, it is still a fierce battle, and it will not end in a minute or two.

Of course, Leo's rate of progress is nothing compared to Navia's words.

It's just that what shocked Abt was not Leo's progress speed, but that his body's recovery power was so amazing, like some ordinary people who would be crippled by injuries, Leo only needed to rest for a day or two to be intact. To be honest, Abt actually doesn't have such strict requirements for Leo, because he knows very well that Leo's talent is not good, although he has the strength of the Holy Order, but he does not have the mentality and experience to match it.

This alone is actually worth Abt to suspect Leo's intentions in coming to this academy. However, because Leo is too simple, he can see through his purpose at a glance. Otherwise, Leo and Abt would not be a teacher and a disciple at this time.

And just a few days after Leo finished his cultivation, Abt called him to the training ground in the forest with a solemn face.

"Soundproof Enchantment"

Abt waved his hand, casting a barrier around him to block out sound.

Then...... With Leo's puzzled expression on his face, Abt said:

"Leo, now that you've completed the cultivation I've given you, it's almost time for me to tell you something. It's just that...... Until then, I hope you can answer me a question. ”

Although judging from the current atmosphere, Abt must have explained something very important to himself, after all, not only did he call him to this place where no one usually comes and went, but also laid a soundproof barrier, which must be something that must not be easily known to others.

"That'...... What's the problem?"

Leo took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Don't be so nervous, it's just a small problem, it's not a big problem. ”

Presumably guessing what Leo was thinking, Abt tapped him lightly on the shoulder.

"Can you tell me? What do you think of demons?"

"What...... What?"

It's not a very difficult question, and to be honest, anyone can answer it. It's just that...... For Leo, this is a very difficult question to answer.

If you want to say that you don't have any special opinion about the demons, it's obviously a lie. After all, on this road, how can anyone not hate the demons?

"What's wrong, Leo?

Although Abt was mentally prepared before asking the question, whether it was hostility or indifference, he probably had corresponding measures. What I didn't expect was that Leo's reaction would become so strange now, as if he had made some major decision.

"I ......"

In fact, Leo was also struggling with whether to say what was in his heart. After all, he has a good impression of the demons, although the reason is unknown, but there is no doubt about it. It's just that if he says that to Abt, there is a good chance that he will be regarded as an enemy. But he didn't want to lie to the teacher who taught him like this, and he didn't want to go against his heart's thoughts, so Leo really didn't know whether to tell the truth or lie at this time.

"What's the matter, be bold and say it, I won't blame you. ”

At this time, Abt was also a little nervous, this was not the same situation he had expected before, this was a complete emergency, and he couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while, so he had to try his best to comfort Leo, hoping that the situation could return to normal.

"Actually...... Actually, I ......"

Eventually, Leo chooses to tell the truth because he is not one to lie to his benefactor.

"I think that people's views of the demon race are all misunderstandings now, in fact, the demon race is also the same as us humans, they are flesh and blood existences, and they will not be as cold-blooded and cruel as the Holy See said. ”

In order to say these words, Leo seemed to use all his strength, and his whole body seemed to be soaked with sweat.

"Now, I probably can't stay here anymore......"

Looking at Abt's shocked expression at the moment, Leo's mood instantly fell to the bottom, presumably his opinion of himself should have plummeted because of these few words, no, he should have regarded himself as an enemy......

But what did Abt think, and did he really think Leo was wrong?

"If this continues, I will definitely be hostile to the teacher, so I'd better get out of here now......"

Leo thought to himself.

And just as he was about to escape from here, a rough laugh suddenly appeared nearby.

"Hah...... Hahaha...... Abt, you've really taken on an interesting disciple!"

"Andrew, didn't I tell you not to come out before the scheduled time?"

As soon as this voice appeared, Abt immediately held his forehead, and his face was full of impatience.

Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared, and Abt who looked a little helpless, Leo was suddenly a little dumbfounded by the current situation.

Is this possible...... Was an ambush set up here a long time ago?

"Oh, don't worry about it so much, and...... We don't need to hide now, do we?"

Andrew said indifferently to the disgruntled Abt.

"You guy...... Remember me!"

That being said, Abt wouldn't do anything to Andrew, after all, Andrew was one of their highest combat powers, and he couldn't just do anything with him. And they're old friends, and it's not the first time this kind of thing has happened, so Abt just gave him a casual look, and then turned to Leo.

"Alas...... I'll make you laugh, Leo, and I'll explain these things to you. ”

"Oh......"

Leo didn't expect that there were other people here, and that he was another branch head of the college, and the idea of escaping here for a while was suddenly impossible to implement. After all, there were many people, and there were still two experienced Saint Rank powerhouses on the other side, and there would definitely be no way for a half-person like himself to escape in such a situation.

There was no way, even though the situation had become harsh now, Leo had to stand where he was, waiting for Abt and the Holy Order to open a gap before he could have a chance to escape.

But to Leo's strange part, if it was to ambush himself, then why not do it now? Could it be that there is some other reason?

Leo was puzzled.

"Actually, if you had replied that you hated the demons, I think I would have taken action to erase your memories at that time. ”

"Elimination...... My memory?!"

Leo didn't expect that his memory would be erased just because he didn't hate the demons, but what did his teacher want to do?

"Ahem...... Actually, Andrew is here for this purpose, after all, we can't let you tell anyone about it, especially the Holy See. ”

Abt coughed lightly twice, and reminded Andrew, who was listening impatiently not far away, to set an example as a branch dean and not continue to yawn there, which was really embarrassing for him.

"Actually, the previous invasion of the Demon Clan into the Divine Art Branch was a loophole that we deliberately exploited for the Demon Clan. ”

"What...... What?!"

Leo could still understand what he said before, but when he got here, he was really confused.

Deliberately?

Did they deliberately let the demons in?

Why are they doing this?

No, no, no, why are they helping the demon invasion?

You know, on this continent, the people who are hostile to the demon race account for the majority, and if they do this, won't they be the enemy of most of the people on the road?

Moreover, do they have to help the demons?

Hearing now, Leo is really confused......

"Teacher, why are you ...... so much?"

After coming back to his senses, Leo asked with a nervous expression.

"I probably guessed that you would ask like this, don't worry, let me explain it to you, in fact, it was only by chance that we learned the truth about the war between humans and demons, and that was decades ago......"

Abt couldn't help but show a somewhat nostalgic expression when he said this.

However, in Leo's eyes, Abt's nostalgic expression revealed something different but familiar to him.

Is that...... Is it hate? Or something else?
