Preparation

The first thing that Leo did when he reached a distance far enough from the academy was sneak into an alley. After making sure no one was watching him, he changed his appearance and clothes. He was now Orion instead of Leo.

After doing that, he walked to one of the inns and took a table there. He sat to the side and ordered a simple meal. After doing that, he just listened in to the information that the people around him were giving.

With his senses, he could easily hear everything happening inside the inn. He just sat in silence focusing on what everyone else was saying.

"Did you hear? The emperor finally punished the Whitmore Family for what they did," someone said.

As he was listening to what everyone was saying, something caught his attention. He quickly focused on the person who said it.

"Really? I thought they would be able to get away with it."
