At this moment, Leo could only shake his head in disappointment while watching the situation inside Class 1S+.

They were really a disappointment to look at; they were acting so desperate despite being a son or a daughter of a Noble Household.

'Where was their honor as a Noble Household, and also in being a Mage, too?'

Mages should act like a Noble person and a respectable person, too! Even if the situation turns to a desperate one, they should not make themselves beg and the likes.

Like Dandelion when she was nearly raped by Ban, she didn't even beg for him to let her go. When Kylie and Natalie were only given the two choices between giving up to become the old man's plaything or to give up their lives. Without any hesitation, the twins choose to give up their lives!

However, the 1st year students of Class 1S+ was begging on their knees at this moment, disregarding their honor as a son or a daughter of a Noble Household, seemingly like shoving the title Mage in the mud too, and not acting like a student of the rank 1 Class in the Class Ranking. Even if that ranking might change later on, they still need to act as a student worthy of respect, right?

In Leo's opinion, they were a just bunch of disgrace! Even his section wasn't as worst as them, even though they were in a really desperate situation, too.

"Are these students even worthy to become Silver Mage Academy students?" Leo can't help but asked himself.

"Actually, the Silver Mage Academy students are getting worse every year! Not just the 1st year students were acting like this, but also the 2nd year students..." Alfred suddenly explained.

"Alfred is indeed right! Only the 3rd and 4th-year students are still holding the pillar of Silver Mage Academy as the number 1 Royal Mage Academy in Silver Kingdom. If the next 1st year students would still be a disappointment next year, then the Glacier Skull Mage Academy would surely replace Silver Mage Academy in their position as the number 1 Royal Mage Academy..." Angel nodded as she added further explanation.

Leo nodded his head.

To be honest, he could already see the reason behind such a situation. The Silver Mage Academy is stuck in their belief that only Mages with good character can become their official students. So, it's expected already that their students would be weak since the majority of good people were indisputably weak, and strong ones would obviously be found from those cruel, despicable, and the likes!

The other Royal Mage Academies within Silver Kingdom have already started to slowly changed their viewpoint about this belief.

Before, they might follow such reasoning; good seed bears good fruit, while bad seed bears bad fruit!

However, times were now changing, they said. In their opinions, good or bad, as long as they can help the Humans to keep on existing in the Celestial World, then they are useful.

"Maybe those other Royal Mage Academies were correct...?" Leo can't help but also agree before he walks forward inside Class 1S+ to take Cassandra, Elizabeth, and the others away.

At the side, Angel quietly said, "Hmph! The President of Sword and Magic wouldn't be like who he is today if that belief of Silver Mage Academy is indeed wrong!"

Walking inside, Leo suddenly pulled Cassandra and Elizabeth to his embrace as he said, "Sorry disgraceful students of Class 1S+, but they, unfortunately, belong to me, so I decide who can join or not in my faction!"

Leo immediately received a pinch from his left and right. But the two beautiful girls didn't mind being embraced by him though, they only pinched his side to show their dissatisfaction for his late arrival.

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind, it was Jake!

"You... why do you always block our way? Is it fun watching us suffer, desperate and hopeless?" Jake asked.

"Did I make you feel all of those? Wasn't that your own doing in the first place because you have always been relying on the help of the other people around you, that's why the bunch of you became as weak as you are of today?!" Leo said without feeling guilty, at all.

He wanted to make all of them realize their reality. That if they keep on acting like this, then they'll one day fall from the place they are currently standing on, and no longer be able to stand back up on their own two feet, alone...

"We..." Jake wanted to reason out, but he just can't find any words to explain. Leo was indeed right, they kept on relying on other people, that's why they became weak.

"It's exactly because we are weak that we relied on others to become strong!" The weak-looking guy, Stephen, quickly followed up with tears slowly falling down from his face.

"Huh?! Were you born weak from the very beginning for you to speak such bull crap? All of you here are the sons and daughters of Noble Households! All of you were born on an already established road. So, why are you acting like a bunch of ordinary people walking on a path that they are trying to create with their own two hands?" Leo said wearing a dumbfounded face. They actually dare to compare themselves to ordinary people despite being born in a Noble Household.

"If life is a race, then you bunch of people would be riding on carriages or Magical Beast while the other ordinary people are only walking in this race of life! So don't you dare compare yourselves to ordinary people, you were all born with the money to buy all the things you can, so why didn't you use it in order to become strong?!" Leo yelled out before pulling everyone out of the 1S+ classroom while leaving everyone stuck in their realization.

.....

Leo along with the others quickly arrived outside of the 1st year students building. He doesn't want to stay in such a place any longer because the majority of the people he had met were all a bunch of disgrace and shameless.

He had lost his family at such a young age, but he wasn't even as desperate as them!

"So what is your plan for today?" Alfred suddenly asked as soon as Leo stopped walking.

"Let's go to Silver Faction Hall and officially establish our faction!" Leo said as he turned around to look at the map of Silver Mage Academy on the side of the road.

He wanted to find where the Silver Faction Hall was located. Despite being able to tour the entire Silver Mage Academy before, he didn't remember seeing such a building called 'Silver Faction Hall'.

Hearing Leo's plan, everyone nodded their heads as they let out a smile on their faces.

Establishing a faction was what everyone wanted, too. After all, everyone's lesson today also included about the 'Factions', so they all knew about the advantages and perks of establishing one.

It was that exact reason why Jake, Stephen, and the others were really desperate. The Class 1S+ teacher, miss Candice, had coincidentally also made Leo's faction as an example for her discussion. So, hearing about the members of Leo's faction, those bunch of disgraceful students of Class 1S+ immediately thought of the advantages of being a part of Leo's faction.

Those bunch of desperate students of Class 1S+ was doing the exact opposite of what Class 1S- did. They were shameless enough to think of joining Leo's faction despite being weak. All they were thinking about was ways that they can make Leo's faction their nannies.

To be honest, everyone of Class 1S+ wasn't really thinking the same way of what they were speaking about! All of their words were just a bunch of nonsense and the exact opposite of what they really wanted.

That was the exact reason why Leo walks out of the room as soon as possible. He doesn't want to hear any more words from those students who were only spouting a bunch of bull crap.

"Oh, it's actually just behind the Second Prince Dog Palace!" Leo said to everyone before he started walking in the direction of Silver Faction Hall.

He finally knew the reason why he didn't see such a building before. It was actually located behind the Second Prince Dog Palace. The Dog Palace was so big, so the Silver Faction Hall was blocked by it in front.

Soon, Leo and the others finally arrived outside of the Silver Faction Hall. The building was unexpectedly smaller than he had imagined; it was just a small manor, even his manor was a lot bigger compared to this one. It was really unexpected for the Second Prince to create such a small infrastructure.

Walking inside, Leo could only see a male staff behind a table, currently smiling at them.

"How may I help you?" The staff wearing a silver-colored uniform asked.

"Is this the Silver Faction Hall?" Leo asked, dubious of the manor really being the Silver Faction Hall.

It was just too small. It wasn't even proper to call it a hall, but instead a small manor. Moreover, there were only paintings of Fate knows who around the entire place.

"Yes, this is indeed the Silver Faction Hall! Would you like to officially create your faction or join a faction?" The staff replied.

"Oh, okay then!" Leo finally confirmed, "We are here to officially establish my faction!"

"Okay! Please stand still and wait for a second!" The staff said before pressing a bottom in front of him.

*Bang!

*Whoooosh!

Suddenly, the floor below Leo and the others opened up, causing all of them to fall straight down.

"Have a nice day!" The staff said while waving his hand towards Leo with a smile on his face.
