The young Elf with yellow-colored hair is wearing a green-colored hat and cape that looks like those of a street performer. His clothes were a bit messy after that fall, but it still can\'t hide his good-looking appearance commonly seen in almost all Elves.
As soon as the dust cleared off, the young Elf immediately turned to look at the gate of the Magical Beast Tamer Association with an anxious look on his face. He was looking for those people that he had nearly collided with just now.
Soon, the young Elf was easily able to spot Leo and the others as they were also staring at him with dumbfounded looks on their faces at the side right now.
Seeing that Leo and the others were just fine, the young Elf can\'t help himself from heaving a sigh of relief. He really felt glad knowing that this time he didn\'t cause someone... No, to be more precise, a group of people, to be sent to the Healers or to the nearby hospitals once again. In the past, eight out of twenty people will always be sent to the Healers or to the nearby hospitals whenever they have gotten into similar accidents. The reason why it\'s eight out of twenty is because those accidents always involved a large group of people due to the fact that his Griffin has a huge body and that it\'s extremely difficult to stop after crashing to the ground.
The young Elf slowly approached Leo with the huge Griffin playfully following behind him.
"I\'m very sorryyyy!" The young Elf bowed his head ninety degrees to apologize. His right hand was raised onto the top of the head of the huge Griffin as he was forcing it to bow its head to apologize as well. The huge Griffin had already experienced this many times, so it didn\'t fight back.
Well, honestly speaking, the huge Griffin actually doesn\'t know that it was apologizing at all, but rather it only thought that this is the Elv\'s unique way of greeting another person. That\'s just natural though, since the huge Griffin doesn\'t understand people\'s language.
"I\'m really sorry, I was trying to slowly land my Beast Companion here at the airport of the Magical Beast Association, but I accidentally made it turn around in your direction. Afterwards I wasn\'t able to stop anymore because this huge one here thought that we were having skydiving." The young Elf explained while his head was still bowing, "Please forgive us!"
Seeing how sincere the young Elf was, Leo was having trouble deciding whether he should make it into a big deal or not. He was never a person that likes to cause trouble to another person, especially on unnecessary things, as he hated such a thing so much. And besides, no one was hurt as they were able to timely dodge.
"What\'s your name, kid?" Leo asked.
"My name is Eilajah, but other people usually call me Clumsy Eilajah. My Beast Companion here is named Little... no, I mean, Big Happy." Eilajah raised his head and introduced himself.
Leo can\'t help himself from chuckling after hearing Eilajah\'s introduction. He could easily guess just from the name Clumsy Eilajah alone that this young Elf here always gotten into similar accidents in the past, thus earning him such a name. On the other hand, the name Big Happy could be seen from the playfulness of the huge Griffin, despite nearly causing an accident to happen just now. Its action is like the epitome of optimism.
"You can call me Mister Loki," Leo said with a smile. He then added while pointing at the destroyed body of the Golems, "Truth be told kid, although I don\'t want to make this into a big deal, it still can\'t deny the fact that you have destroyed ten of my precious Golems."
"I\'m really really sorry, Mister Loki..." Eilajah lowered his head again.
"You see, I spent a lot of resources and efforts to completely make those ten precious Golems. In the process, I even miss a lot of meals and sleep. Because of that..." Leo was unable to finish his words as he was suddenly interrupted by Eilajah.
"I don\'t have that much money..." Eilajah said, a bit depressed. He really has no money because almost all of his money is either spent on his cultivation or paying compensation.
"I don\'t need your money," Leo shook his head.
"Then, what do you need...?" Eilajah asked.
"What do I need?" Leo put his hand on his chin as he pretends to think. While doing that, he turned his head to look at Eilajah before moving to his huge Griffin.
Eilajah immediately became anxious after seeing Mister Loki\'s action, so he quickly said while blocking in front of his Big Happy, "I won\'t give you Big Happy!"
Hearing this, Leo mischievously smiled as he finally decided to reveal what he wanted, "No, you misunderstood me. I don\'t want your Big Happy. What I want is you!"
"I\'m... actually a guy." Eilajah said as he can\'t help taking a step back. Is Mister Loki perhaps one of those people that like guys instead of girls?
"I know," Leo said as he rolled his eyes in disbelief. As if he doesn\'t know that, what does he take him for, a gay or a person that likes guys? He soon explained, "What I mean is, you will work for me in order to repay all of those precious Golems you\'ve destroyed. Coincidentally, I came here in the Magical Beast Tamer Association to look for a Magical Beast Tamer that I can hire to help me tame a lot of Magical Beasts."
"Thank goodness," Eilajah can\'t help heaving a sigh of relief. He almost thought to himself that his time as a \'male\' is going to end.
"Seeing that you\'re wearing a green-colored hat and cape, you should be a Professional Magical Beast Tamer, right?" Leo wanted to confirm.
"Indeed, I am," Eilajah nodded his head before adding, "Actually, I might not look like one, but I\'m actually one of the top ten Professional Magical Beast Tamer in the Emerald Tree Kingdom."
"Eh?"
Cassandra and the others quickly became stunned after hearing Eilajah\'s word. Is this young Elf treating them like a fool or something similar? How could a clumsy person like him become one of the top ten Professional Magical Beast Tamer in the Emerald Tree Kingdom?!
"You\'re not joking, right?" Leo dubiously asked. He also felt the same way as Cassandra and the others. He wasn\'t really underestimating Eilajah, it\'s just that he\'s really so far apart from what he imagined a Professional Magical Beast Tamer would be.
Think about it, Eilajah is very clumsy to the point that the word \'Clumsy\' was added to his name. His Beast Companion as well doesn\'t have the bearing of a powerful Magical Beast, but rather of those newborn Magical Beast. He really doesn\'t have any bit of inkling of being one of the top ten Professional Magical Beast Tamer in the Emerald Tree Kingdom.
"I get that a lot," Eilajah smiled helplessly before slowly showing everyone four gold-colored pins in the shape of Dragon, Phoenix, Tortoise, Tiger, and a green-colored pin of a Leviathan on his sleeves. He pointed at the Leviathan-pin and explained, "There are only ten of this green-colored Leviathan-pin that exist in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, and this is only given to those Magical Beast Tamers that are part of the top ten in their respective levels. This is the proof of me being one of the top ten Professional Magical Beast Tamer in the Emerald Tree Kingdom. If you also don\'t believe me, you can simply ask one of those counters to confirm my identity."
Hearing Eilajah\'s explanation, Leo chooses to believe. Although he doesn\'t know about the existence of the Leviathan-pin, he could pretty much easily guess the meaning behind it considering that the Leviathan is the most powerful Magical Beast in the Celestial World.
Nevertheless, Leo still didn\'t change his mind on hiring Eilajah, "Oh, then much better, since I have tens of thousands of Magical Beast\'s eggs for you to help me hatch and tame,"
Unexpectedly, Eilajah\'s eyes suddenly lit up brightly after hearing Leo\'s word as he exclaimed in delight, "Tens of thousands of Magical Beast\'s eggs?! Are you really serious?!"
"Is that a lot?" Leo can\'t help asking as he quickly began thinking of changes to his plan.
"Yes, it\'s indeed a lot!" Eilajah nodded his head.
"Then..."
"But I can handle it. In fact, I should be thanking you instead, for giving me this opportunity," Eilajah added.
Leo\'s face turned dubious as he asked, "I don\'t understand. What do you mean about that you should be thanking me?"
"It\'s like this," Eilajah said before heaving a sigh of helplessness, "You see, to get promoted to the next level, specifically to become a Master Magical Beast Tamer, I need to hatch and tame a million Magical Beasts. To be honest, this is really an easy task for Magical Beast Tamers in my level, as I could easily hatch and tame No Star to 2 Star Magical Beasts in just a day. However, the majority of big and medium clients don\'t really want to hire me in fear of my name \'Clumsy Eilajah\'. They believe that my clumsiness might cause them some trouble. Because of that, I\'m still far away from completing that requirement."
Leo\'s eyes began twitching as he started hesitating inside after hearing the word \'Trouble\' from Eilajah. It is a known fact already of how much he hates troublesome things. Though, in the end, he still decided to not change his mind as he soon realized that the trouble that Eilajah could bring to him couldn\'t possibly outweigh the gain he could certainly receive. After all, having tens of thousands of Magical Beasts is a big addition to his force.. Not to mention, with the ongoing Emerald Event and the upcoming Emerald Elven Battle Competition, he could really make use of those Magical Beasts.
