While Leo and Veronica were discussing the mission that the Honoris Noble Household had given to him. The other students within Class 1S+ were at the same time sent into an uproar.

"What?!"

"Another beautiful girl is actually added to Leo's faction?!"

"Not just a beautiful girl, but also powerful!!"

"Yes, Veronica Honoris, a known genius summoner! Even plenty of powerful summoners faction wanted to pull her to their organization."

"She's that powerful?"

"Not yet! But she definitely will, one day..."

Hearing the students of Class 1S+ conversation around, Leo couldn't help but let out a breath of slight relief. Even though trouble would follow him later on, he had at least pulled another powerful member to Mischievous Lion faction.

However, with Veronica by Leo's side starting from this moment, the Black organization would also target him now. Not only that, their investigation about the 12 pieces of Large Mana Stones that he had made a method to pull himself out of would now surely be useless.

Despite getting the information that Leo had only sold Magical Beast bodies at Sword and Magic, but since he had past conflicts with the Black organization, those people would definitely never remove him from their suspicious list, thinking that his visit to East Sewer Management might be or might not be a coincidence. Only Fate knew whether Leo really went to East Sewer Management just to complete a mission, or he might have really come there to sabotage their mission in order to make the Black organization pay for their past conflict.

"Let's go now!" Leo said, motioning for everyone to leave. There was no use anymore to keep on pondering about what future troubles might follow him. He will just face the trouble once it comes. If it reaches to the point where he can't handle the trouble anymore, then he will just return Veronica to Honoris Noble Household, even if he will offend the Honoris Noble Household he will still not care. What's the use of the huge amount of points that he will receive if he can't use it in the future, right?

.....

Meanwhile, inside Silver Faction Hall, the Mischievous Lion faction which was once in the 3rd rank with 16,450 points suddenly jumped up to 1st rank with 26,450 points.

"What had happened?!"

"Isn't it obvious! The Mischievous Lion faction had replaced the place of Richton Skull's Glacier Skeleton from its 1st rank place!"

"How?!"

"I also don't know!"

"Someone just asked the counter for the 1st year students faction!"

Hearing the curiosity-inducing commotion, someone quickly moved to ask for the reason in the counter for the 1st year students' faction. Aside from registering factions, the counter could also provide them with information on what missions the different factions had completed. Of course, it cost some points, specifically 100 points. But who would even care for 100 points in this current situation? The most important thing right now was to know how Mischievous Lion faction had earned that amount of points, no matter what's the cost!

Soon, the student who went to the counter turned around to face everyone while wearing an astonished expression on his face.

"So????" Everyone asked, expressing their desire for the answer.

"Their Faction Leader, Leo Heart, has earned 12,678 points!!!"

Hearing the 12,678 points, everyone inside Silver Faction Hall can't help but gasp in shock. This was just Leo's third week in Silver Mage Academy, yet he had already amassed 12,678 points?

Moreover, Leo was just a 1st-year student! If he was a 2nd year, 3rd year, or 4th year student, then they would understand that since usually the missions those students will complete would reward them with an astonishing amount of points, specifically around tens of thousands to hundred of thousands.

However, Leo was just a 1st-year student. To earn 12,678 points would only be possible if he keeps on completing really Hard Mission in the span of 3 weeks of time. Only Fate knows just how hard were those Hard Missions for the 1st year students.

Moreover, the establishment of Mischievous Lion faction was just yesterday too, basing that Mischievous Lion faction only appeared yesterday. So, even if Leo indeed had the capability to complete Hard Missions throughout the past 3 weeks span of time, those Hard Missions would have surely been shared by students not part of Mischievous Lion faction just by basing on the faction members' total individual points.

Well, how could Leo even have 10,000+ points, yet his members-only having below 5,000 points if they had completed the same missions together, right?

"Freaking sh*t!"

"Just how powerful is their Faction Leader?!"

"Ehem!" The one who had asked for the information suddenly interrupted, "What you are all thinking is not the most important part... Their Faction Leader, Leo Heart, had earned 10,000 points in one go!"

"WHATT?!!!"

Hearing that, everyone can't help but feel admiration rather than only feeling dumbfounded.

To earn 10,000 points in one go was indeed worthy of their admiration. What does earning 10,000 points even mean? Well, it only means that Leo had completed a Hard Mission for the 1st year students all alone!

Completing missions all alone aren't really an unheard situation, really, but most of the time it is usually those old students or the powerful students who could complete such a thing.

The older students, or otherwise know as students who choose not to promote their year.

Those old students would usually go and complete missions all alone since they are already powerful enough to handle sort of mission. These old students, however, don't go creating factions for themselves and flaunting how powerful they are to the point that they can complete missions all alone since almost everyone knows that they were actually only capable of doing that sort of thing because they are incompatible to those missions anymore. Such shameful and embarrassing things would obviously not be flaunted by anyone. Unless, of course, if that old student is a thick skinned and is shameless enough to speak proudly of such embarrassing and not honorable achievement, which usually only a few does.

Also, it is a given fact that all of those students who choose not to promote their year are members of different factions. Obviously, their choice of not promoting was done on purpose by the different factions in order for them to keep on providing the so-called Supporting Points.

Different mission difficulties naturally should be faced by different strengths of the students. Simply put, an easy mission of 1st-year students shouldn't be handed to 2nd-year students, right?

Such sort of system was actually established so that there would be a balance between different students. Handing 2nd year students the 1st year students easy mission is obviously something that will destroy the balance of things since those 2nd year students could just grind the missions of the 1st year students to earn points easily, which would then affect the 1st year students' development.

Hence, the Mage Academies had established the '1=1 and 2=2' system to solve such a problem. This system simply means that 1st year students can go accept missions that are for 1st year students, while the 2nd year students can't accept the missions of the 1st year students and could only accept the missions for the 2nd year students.

So, the different factions had purposely made their weaker members not promote their year so that they can easily complete missions, henceforth easily giving their faction a fast and steady supply of Supporting Points.

After all, completing missions wouldn't only earn the faction some points and the added perks, but also make their faction level up, which would then add them more perks, afterwards. In other words, having a fast and steady supply of Supporting Points would also earn a faction ton of Experience Points, which would, in turn, promote the level of their faction.

Lastly, the powerful students could also complete missions all alone since obviously, these types of students have the strength to transcend years. The '1=1 and 2=2' system doesn't apply to them at all. For them, the system appropriate for them would be the '1=1,2,3,4 and 2=2,3,4,' system.

Obviously, the powerful students, despite just being mere below the year students, have the capability to go and complete a higher year level mission.

These students are usually the main force of the different factions. Going around completing Hard Missions, henceforth giving them a huge amount of points.

However, there is an indisputable fact about powerful students, too; the majority of them don't create or join factions. Since they can already earn a huge amount of points despite just being alone, then those perks and bonuses given to factions would obviously be of no use for them. Well, joining a faction would only limit their growth since they can't freely use the points they had earned.

"Does anyone know Leo's strength? Is he a powerful student or not?"

"Yes, does anyone know about him?"

"For a student to earn over 10,000 points in less than 3 weeks, obviously there is someone who would know of him, right?"

Different conversation inquiring about Leo sounded throughout the Silver Faction Hall.

Suddenly, a nerd-looking student that Leo knew of broke the silence, "I know about him!"

This nerd-looking student is obviously Justine. He had just found more members for his faction and was here to register them when he had heard a conversation about the Mischievous Lion faction.

At first, Justine had only thought that it might be because Leo had 3 Kingdoms and Empires topping beauties with him, so the other students can't help but feel jealous and envious about it. However, he then quickly shook his head to dismiss such thoughts after looking at the ranking for the 1st year students Faction Ranking.

"Leo's Mischievous Lion faction had actually jumped to the first rank with 26,450 points!" Justine immediately thought in his mind while being really in shock at the same time soon after. He was here with Leo when the latter had established the Mischievous Lion faction, so he naturally knew that Leo only had 2,678 points. Even Elizabeth had more points compare to Leo yesterday.

However, Justine had then heard from the other students that Leo had actually earned 12,678 points?! Leo didn't even go to complete the mission yesterday and today, since they were with them yesterday and Carlos had spotted Leo fetching the other members of Mischievous Lion faction at Class 1S+ today, so how did the latter even earn 10,000 points?!

So, when the other students went inquiring about information related to Leo, Justine quickly stepped in.

"Well..." Justine said, shaking his head helplessly and in surrender. He now realized that his gap to Leo had just widened once again, and it seems like it is impossible to overtake him, anymore.
