The Betlam family, not many people know about this family in Maple City, especially because they are newcomers to Maple City. Even though they were a noble family from the Pendragon kingdom, since they had been in Maple City, there had been almost no movement from the Betlam family.
Even though it is common knowledge that their royal status is only a status in name, that is all that people know. Even the reason for the Betlam family's move to Maple City is unknown.
Leon had heard many rumors about the Betlam family when he overheard the conversations of the people in Maple City. However, most of the rumors are baseless because they don't know the truth. Some may be the truth, some may not be true.
Even so, Leon still decided to join one of the noble family factions in this city.
There is a reason behind this decision. Otherwise, Leon wouldn't have made such an easy decision just by thinking about it for a few hours. The only thing that could help him convince himself was the reward from the system.
Advice coins.
The function is simple, just ask what you want and the system will answer it. Leon previously had 3 coins and he had used 1 coin to ask the system.
"What is the best choice I should make for now based on the plan I have in my head," Leon asked in his heart and the coin disappeared as if it never existed.
the system immediately answered.
[Related to one of the influential factions in Maple City.
According to the detection system that has been strengthened to answer your question, there are 5 factions that can be used as your reference without violating the rules of the magic tower of Babel.
1. Betlam family: there is 1 person with the trait of great destiny who is only 5 years old.
Note: The Betlam family is currently looking for a theoretical tutor for their youngest child. You can utilize your knowledge and it is very suitable for your plans. (Highly recommended to join)
2. Rosemary Family: There are 2 people who are twins with the Great Destiny trait who have just been born.
Note: the only way to join the rosemary family is to become a 2 ring magus by this world's standards. But you must remember that you are prohibited from joining Rosemary's family directly. Even so, a cooperative relationship can still be established between you and Rosemary's family.
3. Maple Secret Society: there is 1 person with the Great Destiny trait. Currently only 12 years old.
Note: a secret society hidden in Maple City. You can relate to them because there is no pressure to join Maple Secret Society. (Recommended)
4. Shadow cult: there is an unknown entity with the trait Great Destiny. Age is unknown but it is thought to still be a fetus.
Note: don't join them if you don't want to die.
5. Science and Magic Research Institute: Doesn't have anyone with the Great Destiny trait, but the system calculates that about a year from now, there will be a young person who will join the Great Destiny trait.
Note: It's up to you if you want to join this organization. But there is a possibility that the youth with the trait of great Destiny will not come due to the influence of the veil of destiny]
'There are this many? Is this world about to be destroyed so that people with the Great Destiny trait are born in large numbers?' Leon was speechless when he read the suggestions from the system.
Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.
Currently, he felt that the task of recruiting 5 people with the Great Destiny trait was not too difficult. It was only a matter of time for him to complete this Quest.
'My initial plan was to look for people who carry the trait of Great Destiny while still young. That way, it will be very easy for me to influence them with the knowledge I currently have.'
Apart from them possibly still not developing, it would be easier for him to deal with them because the development between him and the monsters in this world was not that far away.
It was a perfect plan, it would be great if Leon at least chose Hard difficulty or below. But Leon chose Nightmare difficulty.
He still underestimated how the world chosen by the system was for Nightmare's difficulty.
Leon looked at the little boy who was staring at him several times and rubbed his eyes in confusion.
Another notification from the system appeared and Leon immediately opened it.
[Name: Felix Betlam
Age: 5 years old
Level: Magus- 3 rings (Babel Standard: Magus tier 1, initial stage.)
Status: Third young master
Innate talent: Eyes that observe destiny, Genius in the field of magic, Monster in the field of divination.

'What The...!!!' Leon almost fell when he saw the system panel, but he immediately restrained his actions and turned his gaze to Balak.
Balak saw Leon's strange behavior and didn't miss it. "Is there a problem Mr. Leon?"
"No, there is no problem. I'm just surprised that your child so young is already a 3-ring Magus. "This has really opened my eyes," Leon gave his reasons while praising Felix. He immediately changed the subject.
"I have never seen a child so genius in all my travels. I wonder why you still want to find a theoretical teacher for your child."
"I'm sure you can teach your child privately."
Balak who heard it smiled. He looked at Leon with a meaningful gaze before directing his gaze toward the logo displayed on the wall. "Of course, I have my reasons. As much as I want to teach my son personally, I can't do it. There is a rule from where I work that prohibits someone from teaching their offspring. If this rule is violated, then my son will lose his qualifications to enter there."
"Oh, I see." Leon nodded and didn't ask any further.
"Let's stop the pleasantries for now and continue our previous business. I want to test you to see if you are capable of teaching my son." Balak handed Leon a cup. He poured out a brown liquid and explained what he had to do.
"This method is quite simple. It's called A cup of tea shadows the ocean. This was a strange but amazing method created by someone in the past to measure how much knowledge a magus possessed. Of course, this is only used to measure how much knowledge you have and it will not be taboo to peep or seize the knowledge you have."
"You just need to put a drop of your blood in this cup and hold it in your hand. After a while, I will assess whether you are qualified to be my son's tutor."
Leon looked at the cup in front of him. It was just a glance before he lost his interest in this cup. As far as magic and Mana were concerned, nothing could surprise him after Leon received basic level magic and mana knowledge from Babel.
Leon's actions caught Felix's attention. For the first time in his life, he felt curious about something. Felix stood up on his chair and looked at Leon with curious eyes.
Even Balak was shocked to see his son acting like that. He could only give a weak smile when he saw his son's attention directed towards someone else. Without realizing it, the gaze he gave Leon softened a little.
Leon dripped a drop of his blood into the cup. The cup shook and cracks started to appear around the cup. The crack widened and in the end, the cup shattered, spilling the tea inside.
Balak was silent looking at Leon in disbelief. Currently, his alertness reached the highest level. He looked at Leon with a sharp gaze and subconsciously, he asked coldly. "Leonardo Constantine, who exactly are you."
Leon, who saw it, could only smile gently while not saying anything.
"Fathers, why did the cup break? What happened?" Felix pulled his father's robe with his small hands. His eyes were filled with curiosity from seeing the cup shatter for the first time.
Balak answered softly. "That means Mr. Leon has the qualifications to be your teacher."
"Is it true? I can study with him?"
"Correct." Balak put his son down and rubbed his head. "So that's how it is Mr. Leon. You are indeed qualified to teach my son and I will be honest that you probably exceeded my expectations."
"If you are willing, I want you to be someone who teaches my son. Regarding the payment and contract, I will take care of it and you will be satisfied with what I offer."
Leon smiled when he heard that "That's good to hear."
