"How? How did he know my na?" Leo panicked.
"It's all gone! It's all gone!" he repeated, trembling with fear.
[|_・)]
In a fit of panic, he instantly cancelled his System's ability, and his surroundings trembled. He found himself back in his room, in the multi-storey house where he lived with his family on the outskirts of the Capital of the Federation.
This was the first ti since Leo had beco an Awakened One that soone had been able to detect his presence, let alone discover his identity.
"No, no, no..." he tried to deny what was happening.
Leo began frantically searching for a way out of this situation, trying to co up with a plan of retreat or a solution to the problem.
"I have dirt on him. I can threaten him that if he reveals , I will reveal his relationship with Ethan's fiancee and everything else. I'll reveal everything," he muttered, trying to calm down. "Yes, it might work."

**Identification:**
Na: Leopold Griffiths
Race: Human
Age: 18
Random information: Overweight
"Oh, Leopold Griffiths?" said Idan, looking at the information that appeared in front of him to make it clear to the watcher that he knows who he is.
"Eighteen years old and overweight?" was one of the most useless random pieces of information he had ever seen. It was already clear from the photo that the guy was suffering from excess weight.
Idan raised his head and eyes, trying to see who was pulling his hair.
"Gone! Gone!" When Idan used the ntal link, he imdiately heard the answer.
"So, he ran away?" asked Idan, and Coco nodded several tis.
Idan wasn't surprised. From the photographs, he had a rough idea of what kind of person they had encountered.
"Is the watcher gone?" Arabel asked through a ntal link.
"Yes, he's gone," Idan confird, and then handed Arabel a photo of Leo.
Taking the photos in her hands, looking at the watcher, Arabel's bad thoughts and emotions began to flare up inside again. The thought that she was being watched while she was crying and doing things that were out of character for her further inflated her bad thoughts.
Arabel began to be overwheld with the desire to kill this fatty.
"What is it this ti?" — Idan raised his head and eyes again, trying to make out the one who started pulling his hair again.
"Candy! Candy!" he finally heard Coco demanding paynt for her services.
"System, buy one package for ," Idan said without hesitation, deciding to thank the annoying girl. Since he only had two candies left from the previous package, he bought a new one.
"Here you go, Coco. One for your help," he said, holding out the first candy. Coco happily took it and imdiately popped it into her mouth.
"And the second one is an apology for your tail." When Idan saw the poor girl's tail, he understood why Coco was so angry at him. Coco imdiately hid the second candy in her backpack.
"The third one is for noticing the watcher," Idan said, handing over the third candy from the new package.
"The fourth one is for taking a photo of him and warning us," he added, handing over the fourth candy.
"And the fifth one is for you to get off my head and help the Mistress calm down a little using your special ability," Idan said, seeing Arabel's symptoms of a side effect reappear. He decided to see if Coco's calming ability would work.
Coco's joy knew no bounds. She received five candies at once. She had already started chewing on one, and she carefully put the other four into her backpack. After receiving the task from the Master and the reward for it, Coco happily jumped down and ran up to Arabel.
"Coco!" exclaid Arabel, also realizing that sothing was wrong with her again. She happily held out her arms to Coco.
Arabel took her in her arms and hugged her so tightly that Coco's eyes almost popped out. In surprise, she even spat out the candy she was chewing.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Coco, I'm sorry!" exclaid Arabel, realizing that she had almost strangled Coco in her arms. She was so scared herself.
"Wu-wu-wu-wu..." — instead of complaining that the Mistress almost strangled her, Coco began to cry because she spat out the candy.
"Here you go, don't cry, Coco." Arabel took out a new candy from her stash and handed it to Coco to replace the one she had spat out. Only then did Coco calm down.
"Is it working?" Idan asked Arabel after waiting a while.
"Yes, it helps," Arabel replied, gently hugging Coco. To the couple's delight, Coco's ability to reduce the side effect of the Energy of Madness proved to be very useful, allowing Arabel to relax a little.
"Coco, here you go," Idan took Leo's photos from Arabel and handed them to Coco. "As soon as Ned arrives, take this photo to my older sister, Irene."
Coco, hearing that the Master was addressing her, looked at Idan with attention. Even though the Master set her tail on fire, he still gave her a piece of candy for it. She knew that for every completed task she would receive even more sweets, and her eyes lit up when Idan turned to her.
Seeing Coco's burning eyes, Idan just sighed. "Although it's easy to get Coco to act, but damn it, these candies are too expensive!"
Arabel just laughed at his words. Yes, Coco's candies were really too expensive, but they were incredibly useful. Throughout the conversation, the couple communicated through a ntal connection, even when they asked Coco for help.
Coco took the photo and held it tightly in her paws, knowing that soon this photo would turn into candy as soon as she completed the task.
"What are you up to with the watcher?" Arabel asked as soon as Idan gave Coco the assignnt.
"Well, I haven't decided yet, but I have a couple of ideas," Idan replied.
"Belle, tell Esma to ask Irene to find out everything she can about Leopold Griffiths. Coco will give her the photo so she can recognize it. Tell him also that Idan wants to know everything about him," imdiately after his reply, Idan asked Arabel to send a ssage to Esma through their contract.
"And yes, don't let her do anything against him," Idan added, fearing that if Irene found out who Leopold was, she might do sothing to him.
"Are you interested in him?" — Arabel asked, noticing that Idan was interested in this watcher nad Leopold.
"Hmm, definitely. He has an amazing ability to spy without being noticed. It kind of reminds of Coco's talent for hiding in the void." Idan did not conceal from Arabel his interest in this mysterious watcher.
"Judging by his photo, he's a recluse, maybe Neet or Hikikomori. I wouldn't be surprised if his System was connected to sothing like that. Knowing this, it can be assud that he is a natural awakened one who has not yet registered as an awakened one, which ans that he should not have any connections. He's a loner." Idan shared his thoughts with Arabel.
"Isn't such a character an ideal candidate?" asked Idan with a smile, looking at Arabel.
She imdiately understood what Idan ant, and looking at the situation from this point of view, she also agreed with his opinion.
After all, the System had given them the task to create their own Guild and hire five mbers.
And such an awakened one with such an ability would be an ideal candidate for that?
