Leo The Dragon Heir

Chapter 11

Leo and Darwin walked back to the treehouse, and they walked into Varrick making a potion. He was deep in concentration and everything seemed to be glowing.

Varrick was trying to find a way to make sure that they broke the remaining two seals and unlock Leo's affinity, but in everything he had checked, there was nothing he found that was going to help him.

‘He is a Dragonborn and I don’t know the first thing about Dragonborns and their affinity. Only the heavens know how long it’s going to take to bring it out.” Varrick was lost in his thoughts, he didn’t know what the outcome of the entire research was.

“You look busy,” Darwin said as he looked around trying to make sure that he wouldn’t tip anything over. Varrick snapped out of the daze and quickly put a smile on his face. He wanted to make sure that there was no sign of worry on him.

“You’re back early, so who won this time?” Varrick asked, still with the smile on his face and looking at the two as they walked in.

“The kid thought he had a chance to win against me this time and I made sure that there was nothing left of him there.” Darwin smiled as he sat down, he was looking at Leo expecting him to say something.

Leo rolled his eyes and lay down, he didn't know what he was going to do to get Darwin to stop saying things like that.

“Well, you can say whatever makes you happy, all I know is that there is no way you could have won if I had my affinity with me.” Leo was looking at Darwin and Varrick, they were smiling when they heard what the boy said.

“You say that but I know even with your affinity there will be no way you will be able to beat me in a fight.” Darwin joked around, he wanted to make Leo a bit pissed off.

Both soon got into a squabble, it was like they were siblings. Varrick watched both of them try to kill themselves with insults.

Varrick had thought of another way they could try to unlock Leo's affinity. It was not going to be easy but it was one of the ways that would bring the affinity out faster.

Varrick decided that he was going to be telling his brother the idea, he wanted to know what he would think of it. “Darwin?” Varrick called out and he got Darwin to stop insulting Leo for a second.

“Yeah?” Darwin looked at Varrick waiting for him to say something that would make him stop trying to put Leo in his place.

“What if he enters a dungeon? That might be a catalyst,” Varrick looked at Darwin, he knew that there was a chance that it was going to be the only thing that would help Leo reach his affinity.

Darwin raised his brow, he knew that there was an eighty percent chance that if Leo were to enter a dungeon then it would help him but there was also a chance that he wouldn't be able to do anything with the power he would get there.

“But what if he doesn't get stronger and things go the other way round? You know that there is a chance the results might be the other way around.” Darwin said. He was not against Leo entering a dungeon but he was certain that there was no way he would be able to get the power up he wanted if something happened to him.

Varrick understood what his brother was trying to say but he was not going to be letting something like that make him keep Leo from getting his affinity. “We will not know until we try, it might be what we have been looking for, you don't know what he might get from being there.”

Varrick was looking at Darwin, he wanted to see what Leo could do if he was being tested like that and he was also sure that it would help him improve.

Darwin on the other hand knew that there was a chance it would help him but there was a chance it would kill him before he would even get the chance to do anything with his powers. “I know you think that this is the only good thing to do for now but there might be a chance it will kill him.”

Leo was sitting there looking at the brothers bicker about what they would do with him and he knew that it was going to be hard for him to get a word in.

“Why don’t we go with a low-ranked dungeon?” Leo chimed in trying to make sure that he said something to them, his words made both of them stop talking to look at him.

Darwin tilted his head to look at him, there was a smile on his face. “You know what you're getting yourself into, young man?” Darwin asked him with a smile still on his face, he wanted to know what was going on in Leo's mind at the moment.

Leo stood up, he looked at Darwin with a smile on his face. “You have trained me for four months straight, I think I can handle it. And please, don't you want to see what your student can do out there on the battlefield.”

Leo might have been a loser in his former life but he was still a smart boy that could get anything he wanted by just trying his best. He was looking at Darwin knowing that there was no way his words wouldn't get to him.

‘I just need to be careful and see what he will say, I need to know what he will decide.’ Leo was looking at Darwin, he had a smile on his face. ‘Look out Darwin, you're trying to play a game I have mastered before coming into this world.’

Darwin was still looking at Leo, he let out a weak sigh knowing that there was no way he would be able to win Leo and Varrick in an argument.

“You think you can handle it?” Darwin asked Leo, looking at him with a smile on his face, there was no chance he would be able to say no to him for long.

Leo had a huge smile on his face, he was happy that he had gotten him to agree.

“I will handle it like a pro, don't worry, you don't need to worry yourself like that.” Leo smiled, almost jumping up and down like a puppy dog.

Varrick laughed a bit when he saw what Leo was doing, Darwin knew that there was no way for him to say no.

Darwin gave up trying to say no, he knew that there would be no way for him to even win. “Fine, you can go for a dungeon raid.”

Leo was filled with excitement when he heard that he could go for the raid. He knew that it would take him one more step towards his goal, Leo was filled with pure joy.

“I will not let you down Master Darwin, I promise!”
