When he saw Leo again, a somewhat sinister gaze shot straight toward him, but it vanished in a flash, never lingering on Leo for long.
What he was truly thinking, however, remained unknown.
As for Leo's mysterious power, word of it had already begun to spread throughout Kamar-Taj. Although they were all here to study magic, the Ancient One had never forced them to stay. They were free to leave whenever they wished.
Sometimes, when minor problems arose in the world, the Ancient One would even send fully trained sorcerers out on missions to help.
Thus, the magic apprentices here had not severed their ties with the outside world. Although most of them were older, Kamar-Taj had Wi-Fi.
However, the apprentices who truly obtained this opportunity and entered Kamar-Taj had all passed a screening process. They did not spread word of Kamar-Taj or Master Ancient One.
The only exceptions were those who had come to terms with everything, decided to embrace life again, and returned to society.
Even so, it was impossible to completely prevent people from coming here in search of Kamar-Taj's existence.
Fortunately, this legend circulated only within an extremely small circle. Most of those who came searching returned disappointed, and the legend had lost nearly all credibility.
Leo paid the man no further attention. Even Master Ancient One, who was far more closely involved, had said nothing about it. Why should he meddle?
However, Leo had not gone far when Kaecilius unexpectedly walked toward him of his own accord. His gaze darkened. "Your identity has been exposed!"
"Oh? So what?"
Leo looked at the man before him and smiled.
"You always concealed your identity during your previous battles. You wore a mask and didn't want outsiders to know who you were. But now you don't care anymore?"
