Chapter 26 Leo's trap

Author: M_W Cancer

Leo immediately turned solemn after hearing Carlos's words. He was indeed trashing already the Class 1S+.

At first, it could be said that it was only Leo against Stephen and the other desperate students. But he would be crossing the line if he doesn't give Carlos any face here right now.

Obviously, the others, especially those within Elizabeth's group, won't agree about Leo embarrassing their class section. It was alright if he just went inside, argue for a bit, and leave soon after with Cassandra. But, he had stayed and argued for a few minutes already, which would surely then destroyed their class section's image the moment after the other class sections heard of such news about what had happened inside Class 1S+.

That was obviously something they can't agree about!

"Leo Heart, the ruler of the Heart City, am I correct?" Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded behind Carlos. The latter immediately moved away to the side, which then revealed Elizabeth.

Leo was amused by her beauty immediately. He wasn't able to clearly see her face when he was at the stadium before because of the far distance between the both of them. He was also unable to see her face yesterday because there were a lot of students blocking her figure. At that time, he was only able to catch a glimpse of her black hair. But now that she was in front of him, he can't help but gasp at her beauty.

Elizabeth has black hair with pure black colored pupils. Her pupils were so beautiful to stare at as it was like starring at the black universe. Her body was also the same as Cassandra, a sexy body, a good proportion of breasts, a rounded butt, a slender leg, which has then made her more attractive to look at. She also has this cold and conservative demeanor around her that further made people be attracted to her.

"Oh, a beauty. um... 97/100! Cassandra is still more beautiful..." Leo suddenly said out of nowhere. Cassandra quickly pinched his side after hearing his remarks.

Carlos on the other hand was immediately enraged by Leo's disrespectful rating towards Elizabeth, "Show some respect, boy! She is the sole Heir of the Snow Noble Household, one of the five Major Noble Households of Silver Kingdom."

"Do you think I don't know about the Snow Noble Household? A Noble Household located at the far north of the Silver Kingdom; in charge of defending the northern borders, ruler of the snow city, one of the five pillars of Silver Kingdom, and lastly, one of the two Noble Household that can supply snow and ice-related products to Silver Kingdom! I was obviously showing respect to her by giving her a 97/100 score, I could have just given her 95/100 if I really wanted to..." Leo quickly rebutted.

Obviously, Leo was lying about really giving Elizabeth a 95/100 score. She is in fact a beauty capable of causing a war between Kingdoms and Empires. If he was really honest, then he would have given her, 99/100 score, the same as Cassandra.

"Do you want to fight, boy!" Carlos said as he raised his fist towards Leo, seemingly looking like a person prepare for a fight. But he was quickly stopped by Elizabeth.

"I feel honor about your ratings. How about this, in exchange for rating my beauty, you will let go of Stephen?" Elizabeth said in a calm voice.

"No problem then, let's go, team! See you later great Heiress of the Snow Noble Household..." Leo said quickly bidding farewell towards Elizabeth. But, before turning around, an inconspicuous smile was suddenly formed on his face for a moment and a really silent voice that no one could hear was followed, "I finally meet you..."

Leo quickly pulled Cassandra's hand as he hurriedly dashed out of the Class 1S+ room. Alfred, Michael, and the other three students acting as a bodyguard also hurriedly followed behind him.

Leo was obviously more cautious about offending Elizabeth than Carlos.

In Leo's opinion, Carlos was just a pure brawl, no brain type of person. On the other hand, Elizabeth was different, as she was backed by a powerful Noble Household and she was also already an official Mage that can cast a spell, unlike him and the majority of the 1st year students of Silver Mage Academy. Even a blind person could see clearly that he was at a disadvantage if he indeed allowed the current situation to further develop.

There was no shame in admitting and retreating in defeat, especially when a person can already foresee that losing the battle was the only outcome.

So, Leo didn't feel ashamed that he runs away from his current situation.

Meanwhile, inside the classroom of the Class 1S+, Elizabeth's eyes suddenly lit up the moment Leo left as she silently whispered to herself, "Interesting..."

.....

After getting out of the 1st year students' building, Leo can't help but to breathe a sigh of relief.

"I really thought that you were going to fight her without showing any sign of fear, hahaha! Unexpectedly, you actually quickly flew away from the scene!" Alfred said while laughing at Leo's quick retreat.

"I was obviously going to lose if I continued arguing!" Leo immediately reasoned out.

"You could have at least lose with an honor..." Cassandra said softly, afraid that it would offend him.

Leo just shook his head as he said, "What I did was what you call a Tactical Retreat! I will be back to conquer her... I mean to face her again, one day!"

Cassandra immediately pinched Leo's hand who was currently holding her hand, 'What conquer, hmph?!'

Leo hurriedly let go of Cassandra's hand due to the pain before he turned to look at everyone and he said, "Everyone should now be aware about how the Silver Mage Academy really works, right?"

Cassandra, Alfred, Michael, and the other three students immediately nodded in response.

"Since everyone is already aware, then let's create a team together." Leo finally stated his purpose.

"But, if we do that, your class and our class would be sharing points. Wouldn't it be better to create a team consisting of students from your own section?" Michael immediately raised a question.

"Alfred has also asked that question a while ago, but since you still don't know the reason, then I'll explain." Leo said as he beckons everyone to come closer.

"The real competition of the school is not yet the monthly competition but the competition of completing the missions." Leo said.

Michael and the other three students specifically named Angelo, Raffy, and Adrian, quickly nodded their heads, finally getting some idea of what Leo was going to say.

"The monthly competition is still the most crucial task that each of the students should focus on. But, completing more missions is much more important at this point!"

"Each one of us should already be aware that the points we earned are not just used for calculating a total score for the class section to become a part of the Class Ranking, but at the same time to also allow us to buy resources from the Mage Academy."

"Let's say that the reward for the competition is worth 500,000 points, which is enough to make the entire class section's student to graduate from being 1st-year students, and to use the remaining points to buy resources to strengthen themselves."

"However, what if we, through completing missions, had already earned a total of 500,000 points, doesn't that simply meant that even if we don't compete, we would still be able to enjoy the same resources as to those who would win the competition?" Leo said, making everyone's eyes light up in excitement.

"The more important thing is only a few of us would be benefiting with the resources, not an entire school!" Leo said making his plan more interesting.

"Moreover, what if we could use the 500,000 points' worth of resources before the competition? Wouldn't that basically meant that we will become more powerful than the other competitors before the competition starts? We may even win the competition easily in the way! And with different branches of Mages being catered in the competition, surely we can avoid battling with each other, right? We might even win one or two competitions for ourselves!"

"We will not only become strong but also earned the honor for ourselves!" Leo said, letting out loud laughter.

Cassandra, Alfred, Michael, and the three students immediately became excited. The five males were already imagining the feeling of having the whole limelight of the entire school for themselves.

At this moment though, Cassandra quickly turned to look at Leo who had already stopped from his laughter and was now showing a mischievous smile on his face. The same smile he had worn when he got her as his slave.

Cassandra quickly cooled down her excitement as it turned to feel pity towards Alfred and the others. She can't help but label them at this moment as 'Fools!' for unknowingly falling into Leo's trap.

"I can't believe that all of you are feeling excited at falling in his trap..." Cassandra whispered to herself as she shook her head, as showing pity for their really low IQ.
