60. Party

Leo's victory over Arthur was overwhelming, everyone at the scene started to take him seriously. And because of this he was surrounded by people who asked him all kinds of questions, Leo found it both amusing and annoying.

After the competition a party will be held on the same day. This is like a gathering for Extraordinaries from all parts of the country.

The day passed into night. Leo was wearing a black suit with white inner shirt, the clothes were specially made and a perfect fit for him, looking himself in the mirror he felt a little nostalgic. Shaking his head with a smile Leo walked out, on his way he grabbed his sword as well.

As he walked out he saw Dalia stand outside wearing a red dress, her hair fell over her bare shoulder like a waterfall, she looked absolutely gorgeous. The waiters turned their head from time to time to sneak a peek at here.

Leo looked at her and said with a chuckle, "Wow, I never knew you were so beautiful."

Dalia scoffed and raised her chin, "Praise this lady more."

Leo laughed out loud and walked over. Dalia was slightly dazed when she saw him smile. Leo wasn't an out of the word handsome man but he was very good looking, had a calm demeanor and had slightly tanned skin gave that him an exotic look. Moreover he had this peculiar aura that drew the attention of others.

She quickly snapped out of it and slightly blushed, both of them walked out and boarded their carriage. Soon they reached their location.

Several carriages were parked beside them, as soon as Leo walked out many guests came to greet him. Especially some girls who accompanied their fathers or brothers or mothers, their eyes lit up when they saw Leo.

Strong, good looking, had a mature charm, who wouldn't go for a man like him. However when they saw Dalia walk out their enthusiasm slightly took a hit. He was with such a beautiful woman, would he still look at them.

Leo had experience in business in his past life so he knew how to deal with people. With a great beauty by his side Leo walked in with his sword.

Many of the guests were already there and Leo's arrival was quickly brought to their attention. At this point everyone was curious and in awe of his strength, after all he defeated Arthur in an instant.

After some pleasantries Leo went to the balcony and looked towards the sky. He always found it peaceful to look at the dark sky that looked like a collection of bright gems.

"A lot of ladies are looking for you and here you are, looking at the sky."

Dalia walked over with a smile. Leo turned his head and chuckled, "I also got a lot of vengeful glares."

Hearing his quirky comment Dalia shrugged, "Ai, it's a crime to be born a beauty."

Leo could only laugh at her comment.

Dalia suddenly changed the topic and asked, "Why do you always carry your sword with you?"

Leo rolled his eyes, "I am a swordsman, why wouldn't I not have a sword with me?"

Dalia giggled, "When you say it like that it makes sense but we are living in a lawful society, having a sword with you in a public place will land you in jail."

Leo shook his head, "No it won't."

Dalia asked back, "Why?"

Leo smiled slyly, "I have fast legs."

Dalia was dumfounded for a second before laughing out loud. Her chest trembled when she laughed, Leo pried his eyes away and continued to look at the sky.

"Hey, tell me, honestly, how did you beat Arthur?"

Leo looked at Dalia with a peculiar smile and asked, "Are you asking that as a friend or as a Dark Light agent?"

Dalia was stunned and dodged her eyes. Leo laughed lightly, "If Edward wanted to know my secrets he could have just asked. Anyway, to answer your question, I used a domain."

Dalia quickly asked, "What's a domain?"

Leo rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment, "Martial arts have different stages, in each stage the power a person can unleash will vary. Take a beginner for example, he can fight one normal person with his skill and come out on top."

"However when a master fights, he or she can take ten normal people and still clinch victory. This is the difference in mastery. My mastery is so high that I have formed my own 'Intent' or 'will'. Each of my attack will contain the essence of my understanding towards martial arts."

"Intent can be released to form a domain. Within this domain I can see everything and control everything, and my attacks will be amplified. The reach of this domain will depend on my 'Intent'. Stronger and deeper my 'Intent' the further it can reach.

Dalia covered her mouth, her voice contained shock as she asked, "There is such an ability?"

Leo corrected her, "Don't think of it like an ability, it's a skill."

Dalia asked with expectation, "Can I learn it?"

Leo nodded and said, "Yes, you can. But guys follow a completely different system of training. And like I told you, if you can grasp the essence of martial arts then I don't see why you won't be able to do the same."

Dalia was initially excited and asked, "Really? I can do the same as long as I train?"

Leo smiled and said, "Do you really think it's that easy? You need to dedicate yourself to martial arts, focus your mind and body on it otherwise a lifetime of training will get you nowhere."

Dalia's initial excitement died down and asked, "But how come you did it?"

Leo said, "My case is a bit different, I have had some lucky chances. We slayers have a completely different system of training. We use swords and train in it for years. We dedicate ourselves to pursue the path of martial arts."

"If not for several life and death battles I had and a lucky chance, I would be the same as everyone, forever pursuing that peak."

Dalia had completely lost her enthusiasm and looked dull. However she immediately cheered up and said.

"Well, it doesn't matter. I can still get strong without that dumb domain."

"Yes, yes, you can."

Leo laughed lightly and went back inside with her. Just as he got back in he saw a figure walking towards him. Leo had a headache when he saw who it was.

Arthur walked upto Leo and said, "I lost this but time, but don't think this is over. I will crush you next time."

He said his piece and scoffed before walking away. Leo nearly had the urge to smash that smug face onto the shiny white floor, however he bore with that thought.

This guy is crazy, better avoid him in the future.

Leo shook his head and walked away, however he would come to realise that Arthur's words had another meaning to it.
