Olivia took Leo upstairs until they arrived at the Cultivation room on the 4th floor of the villa.

"Master, is your name really Olivia?" Leo can\'t help but ask. He still doesn\'t know about his Master\'s real name, so he really wanted to know whether the name she had introduced herself as was really her real name or just a made-up name.

Olivia nodded her head as she replied, "That is indeed my real name. No need to worry, though. They wouldn\'t be able to find out anything about me, and even if they can, they would only find out that I\'m indeed a powerful Mage which would just remove me in their suspicious list, hahaha!"

Leo breathed a sigh of relief after knowing about his Master Olivia\'s plan.

"By the way, what are we doing here?" Leo suddenly asked, "Are you really going to punish me?"

"Of course not! But, I\'m going to teach you more about Mages. Come, let\'s get inside and continue!" Olivia said as she motioned for Leo to come with her inside one of the Cultivation room.

Leo nodded his head as he got inside the Cultivation room, which was followed after by his Master Olivia.

"Sit!" Olivia said as she motioned for Leo to sit first as she followed after. She then continued, "Do you know, if I wasn\'t in the Royal Court awhile ago you would have been locked in prison right now?"

"What do you mean, Master?" Leo can\'t help but ask dubiously.

"No one can lie in the eyes of the powerful Mages! If you think that you can just as easily lie in front of them, then you are greatly mistaken, young man!" Olivia replied as she flicks Leo\'s forehead.

Leo rubbed the part where his Master Olivia had flicked as he said, "Are there some sort of Magic spell that allows the Mages to see whether a person is lying or not?"

"Yes!" Olivia nodded her head as she continued, "Everything in this world has Mana, and Mages cannot only use Mana to cast a Magic spell but to also read them like books!"

"Say, how do you think Mages differentiate the different Element Mana?" Olivia suddenly asked.

"By simply feeling them!" Leo quickly replied seemingly as if it was easy to answer. If the Element Mana was hot, then it\'s definitely a Fire Element Mana.

"Fool!" Olivia flick Leo\'s forehead again, "Feeling them is not the right term to use, but reading them! The same as Mages casting those Magic spells, Mana can also be read!"

"How?" Leo asked while feeling really excited. He had always been curious about this sort of stuff and he wanted to learn more about it. However, due to the pressure of the end of the month competition, he could only focus on a few things, hence he doesn\'t have any time to bother learning more stuff about Mages and Magic.

In fact, all of this time he had only been learning things the moment he faced it. Such as he only decided to learn Support Magic spells because he realized he needed it. If it wasn\'t needed, then he would have surely not bothered about it.

"Every Mana in the surrounding is the same as the words written in a piece of book. Like for example, when you are casting a Wind Dagger spell, the Wind Mana you have actually used to cast the Magic spell doesn\'t literally mean that it was the complete Wind Element Mana itself. Every Element Mana has its different properties too, such as hard, soft, rough, and many more... If you can read these parts of the Wind Element Mana, then your Wind Dagger spell wouldn\'t just be a plain and simple Wind Dagger, you could also make it into as hard as a steel Wind Dagger."

Leo\'s eyes quickly let up.

"However, let\'s not talk about that yet since you are still not in the level to learn about those things!" Olivia stopped the topic as she continued, "First, tell me a lie!"

"Um... I don\'t like Cassandra!" Leo said.

"Oh, you like her?" Olivia suddenly said while smiling mischievously.

Leo was immediately taken aback as he replied, "How?"

"The Mana around you told me so!" Olivia can\'t help but laugh at Leo\'s reaction, "I didn\'t think that you would actually start to like your very own slave, hahaha!"

"Tell me, is it a romantic type of way?" Olivia can\'t help but to start teasing Leo.

"Now that I think about it, I think it is really like that!" Leo replied, "After meeting her, I suddenly felt like I wanted this woman to be mine and I will protect her with my life!"

"Oh, I never thought you have felt this way... Then how about the others?"

"Now that you asked me about them... Master, why don\'t I have any past memories with Elizabeth? She said that we had memories before, and even her father act so casually around me too, so it really bothers me!"

Olivia thought for a bit as she replied, "Someone might have casted a Magic spell to hide those memories from you. Of course, it\'s not me! I wouldn\'t do that to you! And in the first place, I don\'t even know that you already have a fiancée!"

"I also thought that way! But, who would have casted a Magic spell to hide those memories from me? And why would they even want to hide it from me!" Leo helplessly said.

This had been bothering him all this time. To be honest, after he eavesdropped from Elizabeth before when she said that he had forgotten about their memories in the past, he had been trying so hard to remember any of it before sleeping every night. However, no memories about the two of them have appeared yet up until this very moment. Even worse was, it feels like it was only the first time they have met with each other too.

"It might be something really important..." Olivia also agreed with Leo\'s thoughts. However, that wasn\'t their topic at this moment, "Let\'s continue with what I wanted to tell you!"

"Okay, Master!"

"Where was I again?" Olivia thought for a bit, "Okay! So yeah, the Mana around you told me about it. As to why? Everything in this world revolves around Mana. Even the grass, dirt, rocks, or trees revolves around Mana."

"If this was the world back on Earth, then Mana is somewhat comparable to the invisible wave that connects the whole Earth called the Internet! So, like the Internet, we are the technology of Earth, and the Internet is the Mana that connects all of us!"

"Every information around us would be transmitted through the Mana around us, and if a Mage can read this Mana, then they would naturally be able to know whether a person was telling the truth or not!"

Leo can\'t help but gasp in shock at his Master\'s explanation. It was really unexpected to him that Mana wasn\'t actually as simple as what he had always thought.

"Then Master, if Mana contains the information about everything in this world, then where would it be going?" Leo can\'t help asking. Mana contains information just like what his Master Olivia had said. And since it contains information about all of them, then where would this Mana be going to after collecting that information.

"Up!"

"Up?"

"The Black organization believes in God, right?"

"So, you mean their God really exist?"

"Not God, but Gods!"

"There\'s many of them?!"

"Yes!"

"Then, wh..." Leo wanted to say something, but he was immediately interrupted by his Master Olivia.

"Let\'s not talk any more than that!" Olivia interrupted in a solemn manner.

Leo quickly nodded his head. He naturally understands what his Master Olivia wanted to say. Since those Mana go up, then those Gods would naturally read them, hence they would know what they were talking about right now.

"So, Master... What you wanted to say is if you weren\'t there in the Royal Court, then those people would have easily seen through my lies?" Leo said as he finally realized the direness of his situation back then. If his Master Olivia wasn\'t secretly protecting him in the entire time awhile back then, those people would have just viewed him as a fool. A foolish, weak person that thought his lie would be able to get him out of his current situation.

"Yes!" Olivia nodded his head, "You had been underestimating all the Mages all this time, hence you arrived into the conclusion that they are easy to handle." She flicks Leo\'s forehead.

"Do you really think that Mages were just labeled as the main force at the battlefield of the War of Races because they can use magic spells? They are the main force because they are more powerful than any other thing combined. In fact, Mages are so powerful that even a single Mage can destroy a Kingdom with their Magic spells alone."

Leo suddenly gulped down a mouthful of saliva due to such shocking words. He was indeed underestimating those Mages in all this time. In fact, he even thought of his assassination skill as something above the realms of Magic.

Throughout 18 years of living, this was actually his first time being so closely involved with Mages and Magic.

His parents and older brother might be Mages, but since he was so young back at that time, he was only out to have fun and not focus on learning so much knowledge through reading books like any other kids with the same status as him.

It was only after he lost them did he started focusing on learning new knowledge and experiencing new stuff every single day.

However, all of those things were likewise less involved with Mages and Magic, either.

So, hearing from his Master Olivia that a single Mage could actually destroy a Kingdom with their Magic spell, he seems to be having a hard time believing it.
