"Ahhhhhh!"

Everyone screamed loudly while falling down to a seemingly endless hole. Everyone was shocked as to why they were suddenly falling down to a hole. No one had informed them of something like this!

After a few seconds of falling, Leo and the others finally saw a bit of light in front of them. It was approaching them fast, very fast.

"Ahhhh, we are going to dieeeee!!!" Alfred screamed loudly while hugging his two feet. Anna wasn't with Leo and the others at this moment, because she was from another section and wasn't able to meet up with them awhile ago. So Alfred could only hug himself while falling down.

"Bros, this is the end! I don't regret meeting all of you, so let's meet up again in the next lifeeeee!!!" Michael said as he turns to look at his four brothers, Adrian, Angelo, and Raffy.

Suddenly, when the ground has finally appeared in everyone's sight, and at the moment that Alfred, Michael, and the other three had thought that they were going to die, a sudden strong wind suddenly came rushing towards them as it somewhat took their bodies and it slowly made them land safely on the ground.

*Whooosh!

Everyone landed safely. Alfred, Michael, and the other three were now hugging each other while closing their eyes.

"Stupid!" Leo, Cassandra, Elizabeth, and Angel said at the same time.

Although they were falling, Leo and the 3 girls had already thought that the Silver Mage Academy wouldn't just invent such a hole to kill its student. It was obvious that the hole was the entrance that will take them to the real Silver Faction Hall. From the name 'Hall' itself, it already gave them the information that the Silver Faction Hall was a hall and not a mere small manor. And since it was a small manor that greeted them, then obviously that was just the 'gate' for the real Silver Faction Hall, basing on how the Second Prince usually does things.

The Second Prince was known for building huge and shocking infrastructure, so a manor, a small one on top of that, was obviously not his way of doing stuff. Something bigger was hiding beneath that manor, as in literally beneath!

The real Silver Faction Hall was underground.

In front of Leo and the others, a huge open hall, specifically in the size of two football fields, lay in their sight. It was really big, and a lot of students ranging from 1st year to 4th-year students could be seen walking around the place.

While walking, Leo quickly spotted Carlos and his faction lining in a counter with the word '1st-year students faction registration counter'. That counter was obviously where the 1st year student should register their factions.

"So Carlos had already gone down here ahead of us. That explains why he wasn't in the classroom at that time..." Leo silently whispered.

Quickly, Leo and the others walked towards Carlos and his faction.

"Yow Carlos!" Leo casually greeted as soon as he approached Carlos.

To be honest, there wasn't really any form of a real conflict between Leo and Carlos. The last time wasn't really anything to be angry about as it was nothing but a mere set-up orchestrated by Elizabeth, which was easily resolved, too. Hence, Leo greeting Carlos casually is normal.

"Yow Leo, here to also officially establish your faction?" Carlos quickly greeted back with a smile on his face.

Just like what Leo had expected, Carlos wasn't an immature young man with a narrow mind. The latter had also treated their fight as nothing but a mere little brawl that will normally happen when two students were currently 'hot-headed' and weren't able to control their emotions. So, there was no need to hate each other. This could also be called as "Friendship built through fights!".

"Yeah, since there are perks and bonuses for officially establishing one, hahaha!" Leo replied with a laugh.

"Hahaha, who doesn't like perks and bonuses, right?" Carlos said as he turned his attention towards Leo's faction. Leo's faction comprised of only 9 students, specifically 6 men and 3 women. It was really so small to be called a faction. On the other hand, he has 20 students with him, from the 15 capable students of Class 1S+ that had chosen to be part of his faction, and 5 students from Class 1S that he was a friend of.

"Who is this man, Carlos?" A nerd-looking guy with brown hair asked as he upwardly pushes his glasses.

"This is Leo Heart, a friend of mine!" Carlos answered as he put his hand on Leo's shoulder.

"Oh, then how about let's combine each other and form a single faction?" The nerd-looking guy quickly proposed soon after he observed Leo's faction.

Although they had just met, the nerd-looking guy was quick to notice that although Leo's faction was only made up of 6 men and 3 women, it wasn't something he should underestimate. Leo's faction has Elizabeth within, someone he naturally knew about. The others were people he hadn't heard yet, but obviously, they are also strong since they had become a part of the same faction with the future Heiress of the Snow Noble Household. Moreover, despite having the Heiress of the Snow Noble Household, Leo was actually the chosen leader. Obviously, this only explains that Leo was capable enough to lead this faction.

"Hahaha, that's impossible, Justine! Leo is someone that doesn't like to involve himself in trouble, so he only likes moving in a small group of people." Carlos explained while letting out a laugh. Although he was pure muscle and little brain, he could still understand this obvious action of Leo. Also, he had noticed that Leo always choose to distance himself from a large group of students. This obviously means that Leo doesn't want to move into a large group.

"That isn't a problem at all, as Leo can just simply do his own while we do ours! How about this, despite sharing points the moment the faction is formed, the points that his faction is able to earn would only be used by his faction and we cannot touch it without his approval!" The nerd-looking guy name Justine quickly continued with a clasp of his hand. Obviously, this was just a scheme. His main purpose for doing so was to establish a relationship with the Snow Noble Household Heiress and the other members with an obvious powerful background or powerful capability.

Despite knowing about Elizabeth's background, Justine wasn't a fool to not try to deduce the other's background. The woman with brown hair was obviously of a really Noble Household, just based on the aura she's currently letting out. The blond hair that looks like a playboy smelled like gold coins, obviously someone rich. The other four male members were also someone capable, just basing on their muscles and form of their bodies. Lastly, the mysterious woman with a disguised look. Her disguise might look natural, but he wasn't a fool not to know about that. It was obvious that she's currently wearing a contact lens on her eyes and had dyed her white hair into sky blue, to make it look natural. Someone who disguises her real look, that's obviously a sign of someone from a powerful background. Moreover, he wouldn't just leave behind Leo too, or otherwise known as the 'Youngest Ruler of Silver Kingdom'. He had heard rumors about Leo, that despite being 10 years old back at that time, he had already become capable enough to become a ruler of Heart city. That alone has already spoken volumes of Leo's capability. This was his real goal! To establish a connection with these powerful people.

If Leo could hear about Justine's thoughts, he would surely be shocked for a moment. Such a young man was actually able to know a little bit of everyone's background and abilities just by observing for a moment. It was like Justine had casted a Magic spell to scan all of his members. Also, being able to recognize Cassandra as someone in disguise, that is such a great observation skill.

"Hahaha, no thanks, Justine! Carlos is indeed right, I like moving inconspicuously. That is the reason why I'm forming my own faction so that I will be able to hide my identity behind all the shadows of my members." Leo said shaking his head rejecting Justine's idea.

Although, he doesn't know about Justine's thoughts. He wasn't stupid enough not to know the latter's real purpose. He was quick to notice that Justine had only proposed such an idea after observing his members for a single moment.

He might not have the ability to judge others as thoroughly as Justine, but he was capable enough to judge someone's real goal just from their small action.

"Ohhh, that's too bad, then... But let's get to know each other further if there is any chance?" Justine asked, quickly being able to move to another way of establishing a connection. Since Leo had denied him, then he will just do it in another way. After all, there isn't only one move in a chessboard, he can use any piece to make another move. Obviously, that piece was through Carlos! It was only natural that he, as a King, can't move beside his opponent's King, so he might as well use his Queen, his most powerful piece, Carlos. Since Carlos is a friend of Leo, then he will establish a connection through him.

"Oy, it's already your turn!" Leo immediately reminded after seeing the empty counter behind Justine.

"Opps, I nearly forgot that we are here to officially create our faction... Then talk to you later, Leo!" Justine said as he quickly bid farewell to Leo before he runs directly to the counter.

"Despite being scheming, he is a good guy!" Leo suddenly said while watching Justine's running figure.

"Of course he is! Even though I'm all muscle with a little brain, I wouldn't just let anyone despicable to make use of me!" Carlos said in agreement. Obviously, what he meant about 'anyone despicable' was Elizabeth. He immediately left that woman out the moment he realized that she was just using him. Especially to fight someone like Leo that hadn't even done anything bad to him.

Leo also nodded in return. Justine was indeed not bad. Although the latter was a scheming guy, he was still someone who is able to take a step back and make use of another method. Being able to take advantage of all the pieces he has, specifically by either through a forceful method or a simple and direct method. That alone already made Leo have a good expression for Justine.

Leo immediately put it into his mind, "I'll definitely make you join me one day!"

Only Leo knows what he meant about 'join'. It has something to do about his greatest secret.
