Chapter 133: Jealous Amber
Leon's offer was simple, but he knew most of the people wouldn't even bother listening to it properly. Not because they didn't have enough things to bet, but because they thought themselves far too high to make a bet with him.
Still, his target wasn't them to begin with. It was Cha Yoori since she was the one who provoked them first.
He turned towards her and waited patiently for her answer.
Unfortunately, some unexpected words came out of Cha Yoori's mouth.
"Why would I bet over these things? I trust Starlink Academy won't lie about things like this. I just spoke before to show the world your talent, nothing else," Cha Yoori said with a forced smile.
'I am not an idiot to fall for such obvious things. I'll see you later, Leon. I have other methods to avenge my humiliation.' Cha Yoori snorted inside.
She knew she would just be further humiliated if she continued in this direction, so it was better to take a step back for now.
She didn't really have any enmity, but Amber's words and his attitude had irked her, so how could she not harbor resentment?
Still, she would take her time for it.
Leon was surprised as he didn't expect her to back away. She seemed too headstrong to do something like that. That was why he had decided to lay this trap.
'I guess I shouldn't judge people this early. Even reckless people can have brains. It isn't the game where they would have fixed dialogue and personality.'
He raised his hand and said, "As you wish then."
"Actually, what if I made the bet?" Emilia asked, her smile deepening.
"You doubt the authenticity of my talent?" Leon asked, a little confused since she didn't seem to be that type.
"No, I believe you, but I want to see the talent with my own eyes and let the world see it too. They deserve to know more about the highest potential man of humanity," Emilia answered.
Leon wasn't really surprised hearing that. The Cross family was like this. They cared more about humanity than anyone else, so they wouldn't mind losing something if it meant benefits for humanity.
"I see, what would you like to bet then?" Leon asked.
All eyes and ears were on them. The audience had to admit this was one of the most entertaining opening ceremonies they had seen, so they were having a lot of fun.
"Let's see, how about five questions we can't lie about, but we have to answer at least three of them?" Emilia said after some thought.
'It's unfair to her,' Leon realized and stared at her in wonder. 'What is she planning?'
"Don't look at me like that. I don't think anyone's secrets are any less valuable, so it's a fair bet," Emilia said, seeing through his thoughts easily.
"I see! You're really impressive, Senior," Leon smiled at her words. "We shall do that then."
"Good! The bet is on then!" Emilia said before tossing a small circular box at him. "That's for checking your level."
"Someone connect this goddamn thing to the main screen!" Amber said, her voice echoing once again. "Let the world see his Level."
In the next second, a giant hologram lit up in the sky showing a blank screen to everyone present in the stadium and even those watching through the virtual seats.
Leon's eyes followed everything, then he looked down at the circular box in his hand and sent some essence into it. The strand of essence soon returned to his body and began to circulate all over him.
Once it was done, which only took two seconds, it returned back to the box and a number appeared on it, making Leon sigh in disappointment even though he already knew the results.
The giant screen showed the same number, earning gasps and shouts from the audience, and even the people in the VIP boxes stood up from their seats in shock.
[Level 20]
A second-year male student who was just nineteen years old had actually reached Level 20. It shocked them to the core, especially since they had done rough investigations on Leon and knew his Level just a month ago.
They couldn't even believe it and wanted to jump out to see if the tester was working properly. But it was given by Emilia Cross, so they didn't dare to doubt it.
Who wanted to slander the Cross family like this?
Still, they certainly felt like the earth had been snatched away from under their legs, pushing them down on their knees. The majority of the VIPs were women and many of them harbored the same mentality.
How could men be equal to women?
Now, a man had not only become equal to women, he had even surpassed them. One had to remember that there were only two students in Tier 3 in the Second Year and they both were top prodigies.
Now, Leon had almost caught up to them.
It was a ridiculous thing, but it was happening right before their eyes. An unbelievable sight was presented to the world, leaving even those sitting at home dumbfounded.
The stadium was dead silent for a couple of seconds, as people stared at the screen wondering if they needed to wear glasses from now on.
Were they seeing extra numbers?
As the reality sank in, the stadium erupted in loud cheers and shouts, as many were obviously too happy to have such a handsome, talented man on humanity's side.
While there were many bitter people who didn't like this development, they were overshadowed by people's enthusiasm as some of them even jumped out of their seats, but the barriers stopped them.
Leon was baffled by their reaction. He had expected over-the-top things from his reveal, but still this was way too unexpected. Mostly because of the things he heard from the audience.
"Leon! Give me your seeds!! Please!!"
"Make me a mother of ten, Leon!! I'll give you two white sons!"
'Oii! Color has nothing to do with this. Also, why so sexist?'
But that wasn't the end.
"My dear husband Leon, you promised me you would marry me!!"
"Fuck off! He promised me he would marry me!"
Leon's lips twitched as he searched for the owner of those voices, 'What the fuck are you talking about? When did I marry?'
"LEON! I'M CUMMINS FOR YOU!!"
'No!! Don't cum or come, whatever you mean!'
"Leon! Let me ride you! I'll give you my everything! I'm a big drug dealer. I have a very big underground gang, come join me!"
'You sure you're supposed to expose it like this?'
"I'll become your maid, Leon! I have stalked you! I know you love maids!"
Leon felt a chill upon seeing the hungry gazes of these wild women. 'Has the world gone crazy? I know there aren't many men but calm your titties! Also, who the fuck said I like maids?'
All of a sudden, terrible cold chilling winds rose in the stadium, silencing everyone as they all shivered from it. Even the VIPs could feel the cold penetrating their bodies, making them all turn towards Amber with a surprised look.
As for the said woman, her eyes were icy cold as she glared at all the women in the stadium, making them all shrink back into their seats.
She took a step forward and asked with a cruel smile on her face, "I didn't hear properly. What were you all saying about my student?"
No one answered. Were they insane?
Well, some of them were insane sadly.
"We were just asking if Leon would like to have some concubines. He's talented so he can have a big harem."
"Yes, it's not like he needs to do much. He can just enjoy his time with us and give us some kids. That's all."
"As the person with the highest potential, he has that responsibility."
With every single word entering her ears, the temperature around Amber seemed to be dropping further. Sadly, some people couldn't notice the atmosphere.
Amber took a step forward towards the women who were speaking, making the ground under her crack, which once again showed her strength.
The ground was specially made for fights. It could handle strength from even higher-tier Awakened, yet it broke with just a single step of hers.
'Damn she's angry!' Leon thought in amusement. 'But why is she looking even more cool and cute? I really should capture this moment. My cute professor is angry.'
"You're all just middle-aged life crises and want someone like Leon? Did someone call you beautiful? No, right? Then why the fuck do you think you're worthy of him?"
Amber's outburst surprised many, but they thought it was because of her student. She was always overprotective of her students and her mental health wasn't in the right condition lately.
But only Leon knew the real reason.
'Hahaha!! She's jealous! Damn, I never thought I would see her jealous mode! So cute!!' Leon covered his mouth to hide his muffled laugh.
He really couldn't control it.
'Wait? Why do I have a nosebleed? Is it because she's looking so cool? Damn, I'm weak to my lovers!'
