Chapter 2 - chapter 2: the motivation to stand and return 2

Covered by dust and a look of surprise and questioning on his face, Leon can't help but stare at the strange woman who just called him master.

Leon: what is the meaning of this?who are you? and why did you call me master?

The strange woman who's floating in front of him has the answers for his questions, With a malicious look on her smiling face, the strange woman reveals that she's the demon queen.

Elesa doksain: well for a human, you managed to summon me. but as my master I think you deserve to know My name, I'm the demon queen "Elesa doksain" I declare my complete loyalty to my master "Leon smith".

She said while bowing her head slightly, Leon who is still in Shock couldn't believe what he just heard, he took a moment to realize what is happening, after that he realized that this might be the chance he needed to take revenge on those who were playing with him and his family's lives, with a Sharp face seeking for revenge he said

Leon: I will take revenge from the people of this place and you're going to help me with my plan.

With an evil smirk on her face, and her glowing crimson eyes, elesa looks at Leon and nods in agreement.

Elesa: heh, I think that will be a good show, and also, I like that looks on your face, master.

Leon: can you turn yourself to something smaller?, I don't want anyone to see you.

A dark crimson Aura appears around Elesa, turning her into a black cat with a crimson eyes.

Elesa: here's something smaller as you wished.

Leon: wow, you really are the demon queen.

He said with a fake surprised expression, while Elesa looked at him with an annoyed expression on her cat face.

Elesa: hey what is that supposed to mean?!, didn't you believe me when I told you that I'm the demon queen?!

Leon: sorry but I had to be sure that you really are The demon queen.

After that Leon carried elesa and started heading to the dormitory, making sure no one saw him, most of the students were all around the summoning hall because of the explosion that happened, so it was easy to him to go without being noticed.

In the dormitory, Under the stairs, there was a little room that only had space for a small bed and a desk, there's no Wardrobe for clothes so his clothes were under the bed, after locking the door he started to telling elesa his plan.

Leon: We should be safe to talk in here.

While laying on his bed elesa started to ask him about his plan.

Elesa: so master, what is your plan about taking "revenge"?.

Leon: the first part of the plan is to fake my death, and it's happening right now, the next part of the plan is that I need you to take me to a place where no one can find me.

Elesa: then how about the "whisper woods".

Leon: The whisper woods?

Elesa: it's a secret place that exists between the folds of reality, I found it when I was looking for a place to try some spells.

Leon: that's perfect can you take me there?

Elesa opened A magical portal between dimensions that pulled them inside it, when they got out of the other side of the magic portal Leon found himself falling into a river, while elesa simply floated to a big rock on the side of the river, when Leon got out of the water, He couldn't help but be impressed by the beauty of the forest, and especially the waterfall coming from the sky.

Leon: wow, this place is breathtaking.

Elesa: so what is the next step of your smart plan?

Leon stepped closer to the rock that elesa is laying on

Leon: for the next step, I need you to train me.

Elesa: I can train you like a stupid human, or I can teach you the arcane arts.

Leon: the arcane arts? What is that?

Elesa: well do you remember what you learned about Mana veins in a person's body?

Leon: yes, the mana veins take a specific shape in the human body and it cannot be changed or it will cause death.

Elesa: that's right, and because of that specific shape of the veins, the power of the person increases and decreases, For example, if there are five people using fire magic, one of them will be stronger than the rest, that's because the number of the mana veins are high in that person's body ,but what if I told you that there's a way to increase the veins of mana in your body without dying?

Leon looks at her with shock in his eyes.

Leon: What?!

Elesa looks at him with a serious expression on her cat form.

Elesa: This is the principle of the arcane art, increases the veins of mana in the body, but the arcane art is not a weapon to only use in battles, it's something like breathing, that's the way to use the arcane art, you can think about it like a life style, but it's hard to be learned, especially for humans, do you still want to take the risk?

Leon who remembered all the things that happened to him looked at elesa with a Sharp eye and a Cold face.

Leon: even if it'll take me to walk in hell, I'll do it.

Elesa smiles at him, and her glowing crimson cat eyes light up.

Elesa: then I only have one thing to say, let the training begin!!.

For the next year Leon began training hard, Whether he was training his body, his mind, or on increasing the mana veins in his body, But for someone like him driven by revenge, it was all painless.

[After one year]

in the woods, a shirtless guy doing push ups, showing his muscular body, from afar, elesa was watching, in her normal form, came to that guy.

Elesa: for only a year of training, you've shown me that Miracles could happen to anyone.

The guy stood up and looked at her with an annoyed expression on his face, it appears to be Leon.

Leon: haha very funny, for someone who was about to kill her master with training, you seem to be happy.

Elesa: I never said that the training will be easy, You know, for one year training you reached a level that some others would take ten years to reach, I think you might have a talent.

Leon began thinking while looking at his New body after a long time of training.

Leon:(she's right, if I trained alone it might took me At least thirty years to reach this level alone, thanks to Elesa that I'm more powerful than Ever).

Elesa: so. Are you ready to go back to the academy?

Leon: not yet, let me first wear the academy uniform.

in the camp Leon began wearing his old uniform, Leon grew taller and little bigger than before but he already knew that So he had them custom made a while ago, for someone who came from a poor family, Sewing was nothing new to him.

After he wore the academy uniform He left his tent to find Elesa, already in her cat form and waiting for him.

Elesa: so are you ready now?

Leon: one last thing, I want you to change my face, I don't want to be recognized by anyone.

Elesa: as you wish master.

Elesa sudenly began covering Leon's head in a black aura, changing his face and hair.

Leon looked at his reflection in the river, He was no longer that brown-haired, honey-eyed boy with a weak personality. He became a new person with a more masculine appearance, black hair and sharp red eyes. His physical appearance had improved after training.

Leon: even I can't recognizes myself, but I must ask you, why exactly did you choose black hair and red eyes for me?

Elesa: Don't look at me, I just give you the face of your soul.

Leon looked at her with a hint of skepticism on his face.

Leon: that seems hard to believe.

Elesa: hey I didn't make this up it's the truth, listen, everyone is Born with two faces one is the face of the body , this is the face that everyone sees, the second one is the soul's face, this face can not be seen and the features do not appear immediately after birth. The person must be at least ten years old for the soul face to be born.

Leon: as long as I don't look like before, nothing else matters, now open a magic portal to a place near the academy Gates.

Elesa jumped and sat on Leon's shoulder with a hint of excitement in her voice.

Elesa: finally the plan of revenge will start.

Elesa opened a magic portal to between some woods near the academy Gates, while walking to the gates, Elesa who was sitting on his shoulder asked an important question.

Elesa: so I'm sure you're not planning to use your old name, what should everyone call you now?

Looking at the golden Gates of Victoria academy, with a Sharp look in his Red eyes and a Cold face focused only on revenge.

John shon: from this day on Leon smith is dead and there's only John shon now who stands here with this body.
