67 Plans

" Patriarch, what assessment do you think Sword Emperor Carol Chod gave to Leon ? " Leon's father asked Ed Bernard. He was worried that this assessment of the sword emperor would not be simple as the Sword emperor is being so secretive about it.

Ed frowned, If not for Leon he would not tolerate this fool. Obviously since the Sword Emperor's Avatar himself came in person to give the assessment then it is most definitely not as simple as ordinary Disciple selection assessment it has to be something big and dangerous.

Seeing his father frown, Leon's father remained quiet and decided to keep all his various questions in his stomach. He was worried about his son Leon, because of his incompetence his son had to shoulder some heavy responsibilities not suitable for a kid his age.

As the father son pair silently waited inside the hall, they heard footsteps walking towards the hall. Soon a figure appeared in the hall as he saluted Ed Bernard, "Patriarch!"

" What did his highness Sword emperor Carol say?, was everything up to his liking." Ed eagerly asked his grandson.

" His Highness has no complaints. He asked me to thank you for receiving him on such a short notice." Leon replied.

Ed nodded in satisfaction and asked " Can you tell me about your Assessment? "

Ed did not directly ask Leon what the assessment was but he asked whether he could know what the assessment was? Clearly he was being careful not to step on the sword emperor's toe.

Leon knew what his grandpa and father were thinking, so he said " I can't talk to you about the assessment but can tell you that with enough preparation I will come back successfully safe and sound. His Highness Sword emperor has already planned everything. I just have to execute it properly."

Hearing this Ed nodded and asked " are you sure you can handle this? If not tell me, I can talk to his highness. You are the only promising Heir for this family. I do not want seeing you dead before me."

Even though Ed was ambitious he still knew what was best for his family, he did not want to see the family's most important asset getting killed to gain a powerful backing. Because even without Leon Bernard family has no future, what's that use of a powerful backing if there is no family left.

Leon's father clenched his fist hard and blood was visible on his lips from biting too hard on them, he hated the fact that because of his incompetances his son had to go through such hardship and bare such responsibilities, he knew even though Leon made it seem like there was nothing to be worried about, the reality was totally different from what Leon had told them. But still he could not say a thing because he was not only weak but a coward.

Hearing his Grandfather, Leon felt nothing because he knew his grandfather really did not care about him. All Ed cared about was the Interest of Bernard Clan. As long it served the interest of the family Ed would not hesitate to do anything.

Therefore Leon emotionlessly said " don't worry grandpa I can handle this. And will definitely Join the Greatsword University"

Ed laughed enthusiastically and said " I knew you would not disappoint me, but no matter how confident you are you can never underestimate the Terror world, come follow me to the family treasury."

Leaving behind Leon's father, the grandfather and grandson duo walked out of the assembly hall and headed towards the treasury.

Inside Bernard family treasury, Ed opened a dimensional vault using his spiritual strength and took out two Scenario props. One of them was a green colored Scenario Item prop 'Groud Pouch'.

" Um! … take them. I had saved them for the difficult times of our family but thankfully because of God's grace now you are going to use these props for the future and development of the family." Ed was very emotional as he handed the two props to Leon.

These two props were worth more than the entire Bernard family net worth, if produced in a auction they would cause a huge commotion and set wave's in the city.

Leon took the props one by one and looked at his Status screen to look at the two props' detailed explanation and uses.

After going through the use of the info on the two props Leon's eye's lit up, with these two props Leon could easily complete the assessment given by the sword emperor, even if he couldn't Leon was sure he would be able to come out of the Terror World alive.

Holding the two props in his hands Leon was 70 % sure that he could easily achieve the Sword emperor's task and come out of the Terror world alive.

From the beginning since Leon had entered the Scenario, like others he never aimed for completion of the Main task line he only wanted to get his hands on the 'Owari no Ken' and bid goodbye to the team.

But Hito never left his sword alone; he always carried it on him, he knew that he had to be patient like a lion lying in wait patiently for a gazelle, he would definitely get a chance to get hold of the sword.

Leon's Patients finally rewarded him and he was able to get his hands on Owari no Ken, but he did not leave immediately seeing the possibilities of the team being able to clear the scenario.

Leon never liked Mira, he felt she was too needy and stuck to him like a glue. But he still accepted the Marriage contract for the benefit of the family, Meyer clan behind was a huge power with its power He and the Bernard family can attain new opportunities. With the interest of his family in his mind he tolerated the Marriage contract.

But now once he and his family were able to get the backing of the Sword emperor, the Meyer clan was nothing in front of his eyes. Therefore before leaving for the graduation exam, Leon did not forget to carry his copy of the marriage contract to Terror world.

....

[ I had enough of you!! Who are you cursing to die?!!] Masako who was silently listening till now finally erupted hearing Leon repeatedly say they all were going to die.

[ ah! How rude! Can't you see we are talking here? You do not have a slightest bearing of a Princess. I am not Cursing anybody I am simply stating the facts.] Leon nonchalantly waved his hands in the air and sighed.

Hearing Leon Masako was fuming with anger, Hito was still trying to find out what was going on 'Are they enemies or friends?'.

Leon was purposefully trying to anger Masako because he wanted to make sure that James and the team ended up dead even if Sukehime managed to ward off the Sky Prism Divine Punishment.

That is why he did not refrain from using words like scenario, Scenario props etc even if he knew that Masako and Hito were listening in on them.

As long as Leon did not mention Terror world and World terror he was safe, but once he left MAsako and Hito will become curious about the teams origin and forcefully get information on Scenario, Scenario props etc touching the Taboo of World Terror, then the team would be annihilated under the wrath of the World terror.

Leon did not want the outside world to know about what he did in the Terror world, in order to achieve that he had to take care of the Team, which he is achieving brilliantly so far.
