"Go Big or Go Home"

"How strong is a Legendary Leirion?" Leonard asked, his voice low, trying to keep the tremor out of it.

Kaleb stammered, glancing nervously back towards the direction of the roar, already gathering his few belongings. "Strong... we need to leave, Leo, right now..." He stopped, his gaze locking onto Leonard's, seeing the question still burning there.

"What is it?" Leonard pressed.

Kaleb let out a shaky breath. "You want to know how strong? You think Old Man Saito is strong, right? Think you could beat him?"

Leonard frowned. "No. Not yet. But someday... soon, I'll reach his level."

A short, harsh laugh escaped Kaleb's lips, devoid of any humor. "Good. Glad to hear you'll match the old man soon with those monster skills of yours. But you know, Leonard? That's not the problem."

"Then what is the problem?" Leonard asked, a knot tightening in his stomach.
