Chapter 441 Recognition! Worrying Symptoms...

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

"Are you sure? Both of you?"

Illisha didn't hold back her confusion at Leo and Yulia's decision. Back when she was in their place, she was just so curious and lost that joining the Council was the only thing that made sense to her.

Even if she got Conceal and Clean-up duty every so often, Illisha still believed that it was the best decision she had made to this day!

"Let it go, they already made their choice."

In reality, Damon was willing to put aside his pride to dissuade Yulia from the hasty decision she made. However, that was only worth it if he had a chance.

'She isn't going to budge.'

The clumsy indecisiveness that covered her face a second ago was nowhere to be seen, Yulia's eyes were now full of absolute determination!

"You can still join the Council later once you realize the limits of the Union, but for now..."

Without moving any of his limbs, two cards flew out of Damon's chest pocket, each stopping in front of Leo and Yulia.

"There, you can access the encrypted Roleplayer Union's network through the details on the card."

In order to avoid picking the card from the ground, Leo grabbed it before Damon let go. This was also a good chance to feel the difference in Telekinetic Energy.

through his Martial Arts Path, Damon's felt more flexible, yet its binding strength wasn't any weaker, if not stronger!

'It feels much softer and less overbearing, but it isn't weak.'

Compared to the Telekinetic Energy that Leo personally produced through his Martial Arts Path, Damon's felt more flexible, yet its binding strength wasn't any weaker, if not stronger!

"Alright, be on your way."

Considering everything that had taken place, Damon decided to just erase this whole meeting from his mind. This was far from the perfect introduction that he imagined and prepared for over the years.

Not only did he not achieve the full Council Induction that he was aiming for, but the 50% that he lost was also the cream of the crop!

"Bye-Bye!"

"I hope we will meet soon!"

On the other hand, Rubin and Illisha didn't seem that bothered by it, while Alex only kept silently staring...

"What are you waiting for? Get to work!"

'Well, this was interesting for sure.'

Having obtained all he couldn't from this meeting, Leo felt some sense of satisfaction as he left the destroyed building. Too many interesting things had happened that it felt like he didn't go home in a long time.

'Time for another rollercoaster...'

Now that he knew that there were not only one but two organizations that had their eyes on special people like him, Leo naturally had to take more precautions so that his actual identity wouldn't be brought to light.

'They didn't even ask for our names.'

As someone who came in with a mask, Damon and the others likely expected a fake name. Perhaps a proper introduction would only be due if they met on a mission through the Union in the future.

'No one can tell if they are a part of the main cast just yet.'

Reversing the order of his steps, Leo continued wandering around first, waiting for an opportune moment to change his looks. However...

'Someone is following me.'

He wasn't walking so fast that it would be hard for anyone to catch up to him, but Leo didn't expect someone to blatantly follow him out in the open like this!

'And they attended the meeting.'

There were currently too many people moving around to accurately isolate the signal, but it was definitely a Roleplayer that Leo encountered just recently. It seemed like he wasn't out of the swamp just yet.

Moving toward a less busy street in case things got out of hand, Leo quickly released the limit on his enhanced senses to identify his follower, but before he could react to his findings...

'Wait-'

"Leo!"

His real name was suddenly blurted out, and the one behind it was none other than Yulia!

Her hair was still in its light blue state, but now that he could look at it closely. Leo realized that her features were even more defined than they were in class...

While it was good that they had just entered an empty street so a grand commotion wouldn't break out from this, it also made it impossible for Leo to pretend that he didn't hear anything.

"You are Leo, right?"

He still tried to walk away anyway, but it didn't look like Yulia was giving up.

"You are calling out to me? Sorry, I don't know anyone by that name. We might have gotten somewhat acquainted earlier, but making a scene outside is no good."

Everything from his face to his voice had changed, so Leo wasn't even sure how Yulia had come to this conclusion. He just had to pretend that she was mistaken.

Who knows if she might end up being flustered again and give him the chance to leave?

He would have just changed his looks one more time, but unless he knew how Yulia could tell, this could risk letting everyone know about his face-changing ability!

"I was also a bit confused at the start since everyone else felt similar, but once you started fighting that intruder, I could immediately tell that it was you. That glaring sharpness that Leo exuded when we first met was the exact same!"

Yulia was always like this. She would be hesitant and unsure most of the time, but at certain points, she would have all the confidence and stubbornness in the world!

'Glaring sharpness?'

Leo pondered on Yulia's words for a second as he wondered how sensitive this Ice Witch was. Could she have possibly sensed the Sword Breath after his first return?

He knew little to nothing about regulating his breath and suppressing energy then, but still, for her to feel something subtle like that...

'Her general vibe does match it, but I couldn't tell what her ability was before today.'

Did someone already teach her how to hide her ability? Was her Role just special, like some sort of transformation state?

Leo could only guess as this was outside the range of his abilities, but he only had one answer in a situation like this.

"I'm not sure what you are talking about."

Regardless of how sure of it she was, he wouldn't personally admit it!

Although Leo's curiosity desired to see the effect of Yulia's Role on the Frozen Plum Core, such a request wouldn't only complicate his identity but also require some form of reciprocation.

"I know you must have your own special circumstances for wanting to hide your identity, but since fate had brought us together to the same class. Let's at least be friends from now on!"

'I would rather not get involved for now.'

Seeing that Yulia couldn't be convinced, Leo just turned around and went on his way, but Yulia still smiled and waved at him.

"See you tomorrow in class!"

Would she truly walk up to his desk tomorrow? Leo dwelled on that thought as he suddenly felt something else watching him.

However, there was no one when he turned around, even Yulia was already heading back.

'Really?'

Once again, Leo couldn't help wondering if he was getting infected by the protagonist's syndrome...
