"Mr.Constantine is cleaning himself inside, young master." Annabel said in a polite tone.
"So that's how it is, I'll wait for my teacher here." Felix sat on the edge of the door while taking out a book.
"Young Master, you can't sit on the floor. Apart from that, you must always be under the supervision of the head of the family."
"No. I don't care about that. I can go wherever I want and father doesn't forbid me from wandering around the mansion."
Felix didn't listen to Annabel's words and started reading his book.
"Young master, please do not disobey the orders of the family head. If anything happens to you while you are here, we will get the wrath of the head of the family."
Felik ignored everything Annabel said. He continued reading a book while waiting for his teacher who was hired by his father yesterday.
Annabel felt a twinge of distress as the door behind her opened.
Felix immediately closed his book and saw Leon who was wearing the same clothes as yesterday. He saw Leon walking with a black cane in his right hand, and wearing glasses that blended perfectly with his two different colored eyes.
"Oh, I didn't expect that you would be here young master." Leon greeted Felix with a smile. Even though he looks like a child, Felix is more like a monster hiding inside a human body.
"I greet the teacher." Felix nodded his head.
"Never mind, you don't need to call me teacher. Even though I will teach you, it's only temporary. You can call me Leon."
"I understand Mr. Leon."
Leon directed his gaze to Annabel. "Now, you can take me to Balak. It's not good to keep the host waiting."
"I understand. This way, please, Mr. Constantine."
Annabel guided Leon and Felix to the dining room in the mansion. There, Balak was waiting, reading a book with a Monocle in his left eye.
This room has a round table in the middle with 4 chairs. The table appears to be made of wood carved into the shape of the Betlam family crest. On the ceiling, a chandelier made of high-quality crystal hung directly above the table.
Leon sat across from Balak and Felix sat on the right side.
There are only 3 people here. Annabel didn't enter this room because she didn't deserve to be with Balak and the third young master.
"So how is the room you live in? Do you need something or is there something that doesn't satisfy you? Just tell me, I will do it according to my ability."
"For now that is not necessary. It could even be said that it was a bit of an exaggeration. You don't need to provide this kind of service, after all, I will only be teaching for a few moments."
"No… no… you don't need to be too humble with me. Besides, I noticed you were talking too politely to me Mr.Leon. Just relax when you talk to me. Believe me, Mr. Leon, I am someone you can trust."
Leon just smiled at that. 'He said that when he broke the contract he made? This person even immediately broke it as soon as Leon was taken to his room.'
He immediately shifted the conversation to another topic. "Regarding the teachings that will be taught to Felix," Leon looked at Felix. "I'm sure a genius like you doesn't need me to explain the material you already understand. In exchange, I will answer questions you don't understand."
"Is it true?" Felix was surprised when he heard that. "But are you sure Mr. Leon? I was afraid that I would bother you with meaningless questions."
Leon laughed at that. "That would be great if you had a lot of questions you couldn't answer. It shows that you still have room to grow and shows your seriousness in studying magic."
"I would be very happy if you asked me various things. With this method, it will be better because the knowledge you have will be broader and will not narrow your thinking in the future."
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
He looked at Felix with eyes filled with curiosity. Leon was already planning to recruit Felix if possible. Apart from his talent which was rated by the system as a genius in the field of magic, he was a monster when it came to Divination.
What does it mean?
That meant that the little boy in front of him had a very high future. Its development had been so fast even without the help of the magic tower of Babel. If Leon could recruit him, Felix would develop at such a frightening speed that it would be worthy of the title of genius by the standards of the magic tower of Babel.
There is a difference between the two. Leon remembered the information provided by the system regarding talent matters. "If the system judges someone as a genius, it is just a genius scattered like stars in the eyes of the tower of Babel. But if the system has assessed someone's talent and is written as a monster, they are like the sun that shines brightly beating the stars in the sky, only creatures that the system assesses as a monster are worthy of the title of genius from the magic tower of Babel."
They are true geniuses. Even people whom the system called geniuses would only be insignificant shadows. The difference was so great, and it was almost impossible to catch up to their talents.
This is why Leon was surprised when he saw Felix. He arrived in this world in less than a day and already met someone with such terrifying talent?
This world would have gone crazy if these monsters roamed the world and continued to grow.
Balak also laughed. "You're right Leon, my son is the most talented compared to my other two children. But this also caused problems because I couldn't find a mentor who matched Felix's talents. But I was lucky to meet you yesterday."
"You praise me too much Mr. Balak. I believe this meeting was fate."
The two laughed happily and three butlers came in carrying food. The three each stood next to the person they were serving and served them food.
Leon enjoyed the food provided by Balak. He didn't comment much and could only say that the food was very well prepared. He enjoyed his first experience in this world by eating luxurious food that was not easy to obtain.
More importantly, all of this is free.
As the saying goes, all food would taste good if it was free.
'I can't see whether he has also terminated the contract or not.'
Given Leon's level of knowledge, it is not impossible that he has a method similar to what Balak did before.
Leon did not mention anything about the contract between the two. But Balak couldn't be too hasty in making a decision. Because if he is wrong, then Felix will be affected by both of them.
Balak mustered his strength to look into the depths of his soul. Even though he had terminated the contract unilaterally, the contract still seemed connected to Leon and still bound him.
Balak looked at Leon who was looking at him at the moment. "Is there a problem Mr. Leon?"
Leon smiled while shaking his head. "No problem. I only think about payment for my work."
"Don't worry, although rumors outside say that the noble status of the Betlam family is almost lost, that doesn't mean that we don't have a source of income to pay you."
"It's not that I don't trust you. But you have to know that knowledge is not something cheap. I had to torture my life to stand at this point. The pain and time I spent learning about magic had taken up a lot of time and effort. So I just wanted to make sure."
You can't fool me, Balak. I won't doubt you if you remain loyal to the contract between the two of us. But don't blame me if I take advantage of you. After all, you are the first to break this contract.
At least I want my money.
Without a contract, Leon has no guarantee that he will get money and security from the Betlam family. Especially when Balak doesn't trust him. Luckily, Balak didn't seem to take action against him and only showed caution.
Balak thought for a bit before taking something out from his robe pocket. "Mr.Leon, you don't need to worry about the credibility of the Betlam family. Even though we currently don't receive support from the Pendragon kingdom, this doesn't mean we don't have other support."
"The Betlam family is currently supported by Vienna Hall. They have credibility that you can trust. You don't need to worry because they are currently the organization that supports the Betlam Family."
Vienna Hall? So that's the organization that dared to make the Betlam family leave the Pendragon kingdom? Leon listened carefully and noted this down in his head. If he could, he wanted to get information about the Betlam family and Vienna Hall.
Balak handed over a black card made of a strange metallic material. On it, a nominal amount of 10000 shone with gold color.
'Coin Card.'
This is used by the magus of this world as a place to store Authorized Coin Currency which is the currency of this world. People call it Coin because the name is too long.
By the way, this world apparently never thought of using paper currency due to the rapid development of magic in this world. Leon heard a little about it that in the past, there was a human who couldn't even use Mana to carry out a scheme known in the previous world as a Ponzi Scheme.
He used the trust of his good friend who was a high-level Magus and carried out his scheme. His influence was so great because he used his friend's name and deceived too many people in the world.
"That guy must have That guy must have Steel balls to dare to carry out a Ponzi Scheme in a magical world like this. Even the person's name is the same as the scheme, Ponzi. Even though he died in the end, the scheme he created truly changed this world."
Because of this incident, the Authorized Coin Currency was formed by a union of all organizations in the world to prevent something similar from happening. This was an incident that greatly insulted many magi in the world because a mere mortal dared to deceive them.
Leon had seen him when he was walking in Maple Town yesterday. Coin Card is a method developed by people in this world that is used to store their excess coins. It is said that this was formed by an unknown special material.
It's easy to make money. Leon laughed in his heart when he thought about this.
