After Camille led Leo out of the auditorium, Headmistress Eve said to the teachers there, "What's done has already been done. Nothing will change even if you complain. Also, are you going to forget about all the honor Leo brought to our academy because of this incident? I won't. In fact, I am going to turn this accident into a blessing for both Leo and our Four Witches Academy. Just you wait."

After saying this to the teachers, Eve left the auditorium.

The students and teachers also left shortly.

Naturally, news of what happened at the auditorium quickly spread throughout the city.

When the people heard that Leo had managed to find the legendary Fruit of Magic Awakening that has been nothing more than a legend for hundreds of years, they were all hyped up with excitement.

However, when they learned that he'd consumed the legendary treasure, these people immediately became enraged, especially the experts that specialized in studying new artifacts and treasures. They were so angry that they nearly died of a heart attack and having high blood pressure.

"That fucking Leo! How could he consume such a priceless treasure?!"

"Damn it! I swear I am going to beat him up when I see him!"

"Why would he do such a thing?! If he had given the Fruit of Magic Awakening to scientists for research, they could've replicated it! The world could've changed, and those who cannot use magic could've been given a chance!"

Countless people mourned for the wasted Fruit of Magic Awakening, and those that couldn't use magic immediately became spiteful towards Leo, who they now see as someone that stole their chance to use magic stole their future.

This hatred for Leo would only grow stronger as news spread outside the city and to other places.

Very quickly, exactly as Vice Principal Derek had anticipated, Leo became the most hated person in the world overnight.

Meanwhile, inside Eve's office, Leo was oblivious to the chaos outside.

"I think I have severely underestimated the backlash from this" He sighed out loud.

"We warned you plenty of times that this will be very risky."

"Was it really worth it? In order to finally be able to use magic freely, I basically made the whole world my enemy. Looks like all Otherworlders are fated to be hated by the people of this world." Leo chuckled with a bittersweet smile on his face.

"What's done is already done. You can only move forward at this point." Camille said.

"At this point, I might as well let the world know that I am actually an Otherworlder. I doubt that would make any difference."

"If you do that, you will really be hunted by the entire world." Camille shook her head.

"Listen, this whole thing will eventually settle down. If you want to quicken that process, you can show people that you didn't waste the 'Fruit of Magic Awakening' by becoming a powerhouse."

"That's right." Eve's voice suddenly resounded.

The door opened, and Eve walked into the room.

"A lot of them are angry because they don't believe that you were worthy to consume the treasure. As long as you prove yourself, their anger will naturally subside. Of course, this is easier said than done. However, you don't need to worry about a thing because we will help you."

"Furthermore, I was the one who convinced you to do it, so I will stick with you until my last breath.

"I will do my best." Leo nodded with a serious look on his face.

"Good. Then for the next 40 days, until the tournament, you will be with me at all times. Even though I have publicly announced that you are under my protection, that won't stop everyone from trying to mess with you, especially when you're alone. Also, you are forbidden from leaving the academy until you finish your training. As long as you are inside this academy, nobody will be able to harm you." Eve said to him with a serious expression on her face.

"I understand." He nodded.

"When I need to go somewhere, Camille will be there for you, so you will have protection around the clock."

"Oh, right, here are the antidotes for the pills." Eve handed him a white pill.

After swallowing the pills, Leo could immediately feel his strength return.

Their conversation continued afterward.

Sometime later, Eve brought Leo to this secluded area within the academy that cannot be accessed by students or teachers, and the only person who could access this area was Eve alone.

"That building over there is my living quarters. You will also be staying there now. I have a few empty guest rooms in there that you can use. That square building behind it is where you will be spending most of your time the training area." Eve showed Leo and Camille around this area.

Afterward, she said, "I won't be able to train with you for the first week since I have a lot of work to do, most of them being related to you, Leo."

She turned to look at Camille and continued, "I will leave him in your hands until then. If anything happens, call me immediately."

Camille silently nodded.

"Then I'll be leaving now. Good luck, you two." Eve returned to her office shortly after.

After the incident, every phone in the academy and even her own personal cell phones were ringing constantly with countless people trying to contact her about Leo and the Fruit of Magic Awakening, and this would not stop for an entire week.

Eve wanted to ignore these phone calls, but there were people out there that she couldn't ignore no matter what, such as the Adventurers' Bureau and the government itself.

'The first step to keeping Leo safe is dealing with the people behind these calls' Eve sighed inwardly as she began working.

Meanwhile, shortly after Eve left them alone, a new notification from the Magic System popped up.

<You have completed a Special Quest>

[+500,000 Magic Experience, +2,500 Magic Points]

<Magic System has leveled up>

'Magic Converter?' Leo raised an eyebrow after seeing this new function.
