After looking at the 16,450 points beside the Mischievous Lion faction name, Leo immediately understood that he could only find out the reason behind the high amount of points by asking his members.

"Cassandra, how many points do you have?" Leo quickly asked as he turned towards Cassandra with an obviously inquiring face. He really wanted to know who had caused their points to become as high as 16,450!

"A total of 1,714 points! I received 714 from our last first mission, then 1,000 from the mission that I had completed with Angel yesterday." Cassandra replied with a shake of her head, obviously implying that it wasn't her.

Leo then turned towards Alfred.

"Just 550 points! I earned 500 from the last week's missions that I had completed, but only 50 this week since our classmates keep on surrounding me!" Alfred replied, shaking his head, too.

Leo then turned towards the 4 brothers.

"Me and Adrian have 1,589 points each!" Michael said with a shake of his head. It was reasonable that the two had the same points since the two were in the same team, so their points would obviously be divided into two every time they complete a mission.

"Damnit, you beat us! Me and Raffy only have 1,450 points each!" Angelo said, shaking his head in disappointment. He and Raffy were on the same team, too. So, their points would also be divided into two every time they completed a mission.

"That's fine since there are still 2 weeks remaining for you to catch up if you can though!" Michael said, letting out a triumph laugh.

"We obviously can!"

"...."

The 4 brothers were obviously in competition with each other, so listening to them further would get Leo nowhere, hence he turned towards Angel.

"Don't show me with that kind of face! I'm just new here, so I only have 1,000 points from the mission that Cassandra and I had completed just yesterday!" Angel quickly said in defense. She was just new here, so she naturally wasn't the one that had caused their faction points to become as high as that.

Hearing Angel's reply, Leo could only slowly turned his head towards Elizabeth. The moment he looked at her, she quickly showed a disdainful face.

"Pfft! Guess my way is still much better than yours since I have more points than you!" Elizabeth said mocking Leo for having a little score compare to her.

There was no need to ask for Elizabeth's score. Leo only needed to add everyone's score and then minus it with their faction total score, which is 4,430!

'Elizabeth has a total of 4,430 points!'

"How?" Leo can't help but ask in disbelief.

With that amount of points, Elizabeth obviously also has another way to cheat like Leo's. She had also admitted that she has another way to earn points easily when she said, "my way is still much better than yours!". Everyone within the Mischievous Lion faction knew the meaning behind the word "way", which was obviously a secret way of calling Leo's cheat. But the question Leo really wanted to ask was, how?

Also, Elizabeth has a better cheat than him was impossible too, at least in his opinion.

He had long known that his 'cheat' was known as the best among all the other currently invented cheats. It was what Madam Silva had said to him!

Although that was just based on the information that Madam Silva had received throughout her entire life, but those informations were received as the Head of all the Sword and Magic branches within Silver Kingdom. Only Fate knows just how powerful was Sword and Magic in terms of gathering information. So, her remarks could be considered as 99% true!

However, Elizabeth's points could obviously prove that Leo's cheat wasn't the best as she was able to earn more points than him, specifically she has 1,752 points more.

Although, that could indeed prove that Elizabeth has a much better cheat than Leo. But the question was, how?

To be exact, how was Elizabeth able to cheat!

Elizabeth was with them throughout the entire 2nd week. They were escorting Veronica from Honoris city to Silver city, hence she doesn't have any way to cheat even if she indeed had one. So, how was she able to do her cheat?

Even if Elizabeth cheated in the 1st week. Carlos would have known about that too since she was still a member of Carlos faction at that time.

However, even Carlos was showing a face of disbelief. He was even so speechless that he could only leave his mouth open.

Carlos's reaction obviously means he doesn't know about Elizabeth cheating in the 1st week. With those reasons, that then proved she didn't cheat in the 1st week, either.

So, that only left the 2nd week. Which had now become the biggest question for Leo! How was Elizabeth able to cheat when she was with them that entire time?

'There was indeed one time, but that was just 1 day, specifically 24 hours! How was she even able to earn 4,430 points within one freaking day!'

"How were you able to earn that much?"

The simplest way to find out was just to simply asked Elizabeth.

"Yeah, you were with us the entire time! So, how were you able to earn that amount of points?" Cassandra suddenly followed up with her eyes full of curiosity, too.

"Actually... everyone knows about this!" Elizabeth replied.

"Huh?!" Everyone exclaimed together as they all felt dubious of Elizabeth's reply.

Everyone knew? What all of them knew was that the fact that they don't have any idea how Elizabeth had earned that amount.

"To buy points!" Elizabeth said while wearing a mocking face.

"Ah, that actually exists?" Leo quickly asked, feeling doubtful.

What Elizabeth said was strange as in the past 2 weeks there weren't any rumors about buying points at all. If buying points was indeed allowed, then rumors would have spread really fast amongst all the students of Silver Mage Academy. In fact, teachers would have long known about it, and even if they didn't, then those 1st-year students shouldn't have been stress right now about earning points, which they were still at this moment.

"Oh, I had indeed heard about this... I think this was what our seniors had secretly called as, Bartering!" Justine said after he thought of something in his mind.

"Actually, its exact name is, Points Trading!" Alfred suddenly corrected, making everyone's attention to turn towards him.

Alfred knew about this because he was really interested in businesses, which includes trading. And Points Trading is obviously a form of trading.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Alfred continued, "I had heard about this from one of my friends when I was still in Blue Coral city. You see, in our city, we also have a Royal Mage Academy called Sunset Mage Academy. In that Mage Academy, they have this so-called Points Trading system that was established by the students of that Mage Academy themselves in order to earn points easily, even without doing anything at all!"

"Points Trading is simply a student using certain Magical herbs, equipment, tools, materials, or an item to trade for points to another fellow student that needed them. Naturally, they had priced those resources for a much lower price than that of the Mage Academy offers. So, a lot of students do the so-called Points Trading p!"

Everyone quickly understood that the so-called Points Trading was just simple, as it is only trading resources for points.

That was indeed a feasible idea since the reason for earning points in the first place was so that they can buy the resources that they needed.

So, if a student could also offer the resources that they needed, then they would obviously agree to trade their points for it. Moreover, it was for a much lower price than the offer of the Mage Academy too, hence they can save more points.

However, Alfred suddenly continued, which then made me really curious afterwards.

"However, the Points Trading system was recognized as a cheat by all the Mage Academies so they soon banned such form of earning points."

"To be honest, it wasn't really a cheat, the Mage Academies just needed a reason to ban it because it had affected the Mage Academies purpose due to the students abusing the Points Trading system."

"That was indeed reasonable since if the students will keep on relying upon the trading of outside resources for Mage Academy points, then those weak students would never become strong, which would, in turn, make the Mages Academies purpose of an establishment to be deemed useless."

Everyone nodded their heads in unison, as they all agree with such a reason.

"That was indeed reasonable as the Mage Academies' main purpose of establishment is to make all the Mages adopt to the cruelty of the Celestial World, and the Points Trading is something that could obviously affect their main purpose." Leo nodded his head in agreement.

"Then how was she able to do Points Trading if it was banned, then?" Justine immediately asked. Alfred might have explained what the Points Trading was, but he didn't answer how Elizabeth did something recognized as a 'cheat' when it was already banned at all.

Hearing Justine's question, Alfred could only scratch his head, feeling embarrassed. He also doesn't know how, all he knows was what the definition of Points Trading.

"Simple, buy the Official Seal!" Leo suddenly answered as he quickly took out and showed to everyone the Official Seal of Completion in his East Sewer cleaning mission.

After hearing Alfred's explanation about the Points Trading, and how, despite being banned, Elizabeth could still do it, he then quickly arrived at one conclusion, and that is to simply buy the Official Seals of Completion.

Leo immediately opened the Official Seal of Completion as he saw the words written in it.

"Mission Completed: 'Clean' East Sewer! (Reward points: 880 points)"

Looking at the inside of the Official Seal of Completion, everyone immediately understood how Elizabeth did her Points Trading.

The moment a student accepted a mission, they are then given an Official Seal of Acceptance that will act as their proof when they are trying to complete the said mission. However, this Official Seal of Acceptance doesn't have any Reward Points yet as the points would only be given when the student had completed the said mission, which in turn would make the Official Seal of Acceptance into an Official Seal of Completion. This Official Seal of Completion would then be the proof of the students that have completed the said mission at the moment they try to claim their Reward Points in the Job Bulletin office.

The loophole behind the Points Trading though could only be found if they observe really closely as they soon noticed that from the very start to the very end there was not any mention of the name of the students on the inside of the Official Seal of Acceptance or Official Seal of Completion at all, which obviously means that the Official Seal could be sold.

So, Elizabeth had obviously used the resources given to her by the Snow Noble Household to trade Official Seals from the students that had accepted the mission. Hence, easily earning her 4,430 points in a single day.
