《Rise My Elementals! 》Chapter 87: The popular Mischievous Lion faction part 2
Advertisement
At first, Justine had thought he might be able to catch up with Leo's capability since the latter wasn't really so much smarter than him. But he now discovered how wrong he was.
Leo not only showed Justine that he was much smarter than the latter, but also that the gap in their intellect wouldn't be something that Justine could easily overtake. Leo had also shown Justine just how much the difference of their capability. To be able to earn 10,000 points despite not even completing missions, this obviously speaks volumes of Leo's capability.
Unfortunately, only Leo knows that what Justine had thought about his capability wasn't really the truth.
Indeed, Leo had the capability, really, but earning 10,000 points even without doing anything was impossible for him. Even Gods wouldn't be able to get anything without doing something, right?
Leo had only earned that 10,000 points because the Honoris Noble Household had given him an extra amount of 10,000 points to make him forcefully accept the mission. It was like a pie had fallen from the sky and he was forced by the Honoris Noble Household to catch the pie, despite feeling unwilling, just so that he will suffer the pain of the pie's metal container. Even though he would earn 110,000 points, it was in exchange for an endless amount of trouble later on.
"You know about Leo?"
"Quick tells us about him!"
"Is he Handsome? Cute? Extra Ordinary? Supernatural? Genius?"
Justine motioned for everyone to quiet down before he started the explanation, "Does anyone here heard about the Heart city?"
The majority of the students nodded their heads immediately, while a few could only shake their heads to express that they don't know about this city.
Those majorities that had nodded their heads had only known about the Heart city as being the only poor city within Silver Kingdom. They had heard that the city wasn't even yet a city, but more like a large town that was granted an advance promotion by the Silver royal family.
Those Majorities had also heard that the Heart city was the only one among all the 11 cities within Silver Kingdom where its ruler does hunting, not for fun, but instead to earn a living. The city was so poor that their annual earnings were less than 2,000 gold coins. Also, the city doesn't even have something of its own specialty, like the Honoris city for its agriculture products, White River city for its flowers and scenery, Blacksmoke city for its smithing and crafting, William city for its constructions & infrastructures, Snow city and Crystal Skull city for its Glacier ore and other items which could only be found at the north of Silver Kingdom, Will city for its lumbering and supply of different woods, Green Weed city, and Blue Coral city for its sea-related products, and Silver city as the central hub for all the stuff that the 9 cities offer.

Heart city has nothing special about it. But interestingly though, no one from this city had even thought of creating trouble due to the city being poor. This just shows how capable the ruler of this city was. They had also heard that the ruler of this city was actually just a young man.
Unfortunately, though, the majority of students don't really know more information about the ruler of Heart city despite being capable. They only heard rumors about the ruler's capability, and that the ruler was just a young man.
It wasn't that no one wanted to know about the ruler, but there was just a little news related to Heart city. They needed to be looked at carefully just so they can dig any related information about the city. Because of that, no one bothered to learn more information about it.
Moreover, although the ruler of Heart city was indeed a capable ruler, the other rulers of the 10 other cities were also capable, too. So, since there was nothing special anymore about the Heart city aside from its ruler, hence the other Nobles would just take a brief glance of the information about it, and nothing more.
Furthermore, these majorities were still young students, and usually, when they are at this age they would only focus on playing around, having fun, or the likes. So, they naturally don't have a lot of information about Heart city.
"Since the majority of you had heard about this city, then I'll just simply say that the ruler of the Heart city is also the leader of the Mischievous Lion faction," Justine revealed, immediately causing an uproar to everyone at the Silver Faction Hall.
Justine didn't bother to explain thoroughly about the Heart city or Leo, he only needed to let them know that the latter was the ruler of Heart city. He knew that it was enough to describe Leo's capability.
"What!"
"So, the rumors about the ruler of the Heart city was just a young man was indeed true!"
"Oh, now this explains why he's capable!"
Everyone finally realized just how capable Leo was.
Leo was actually not just a student, but also a ruler of a city. Just this information alone had already explained a lot about him.
Even though everyone doesn't know a lot of information about the Heart city, but knowing that Leo was a ruler of a city, they quickly understood just how capable he was. After all, ruling a village and town like the other Noble Household was too different from ruling a city.
Ruling a village or a town compared to ruling a city is like comparing heaven to earth.
Ruling a village was like managing a small business. Those Noble Households only needed to have enough funds to support the village growth, so that its villagers could constantly produce goods or products that could then be sold to earn some money, which later on would be collected by the Noble Household in the form of tax.

Ruling a town was like managing a big business. Aside from having enough funds to support the town's growth, the rulers also needed to make infrastructures that will allow the town to be self-sufficient, defenses for Magical Beast attacks, and to pull businesses to invest in the town's growth.
Unlike villages that could be easily replaced from time to time, the town on the other hand needed to be kept in one place. This was simply because towns already have a huge amount of townsmen.
So, once the town itself gets destroyed by Magical Beast attacks or the likes, its townsmen would naturally transfer to another place. Although more inhabitants were what all the Noble Household wanted, but suddenly gaining a lot in one go would definitely cause a problem in a long run, such as overpopulation, the rise of unemployment which would definitely heighten the crime rate, unable to support the new population, and the many more unwanted or bad effects.
That's why the Noble Households that manage a town needed to be self-sufficient so they would no longer rely on exports, construct defenses to defend from Magical Beast attack so that the town won't be destroyed, and to pull businesses to invest in the town's growth so that the town could become a city, eventually...
Lastly, ruling a city was like managing multiple big businesses. A city was like the central hub for those Noble households that ruled different villages and towns nearby the area of the said city. So, the rulers of a city don't only do the same as what the villages and towns do, but they also needed to implement laws and systems to avoid any trouble caused by the other Noble Households living within a city and to make its citizens live much better.
Obviously, those Noble Households living within a city have their own forces to be worried about. Anytime they can ally together to start an uprising, hence pulling down the ruler of a city and replacing them afterwards. So, the rulers of a city specifically needed to be strict with them, using laws and systems to avoid this so-called trouble.
These implemented laws and systems would also make the citizens' life much better because they only needed to worry a little about crimes and the likes. After all, with laws and systems, people that wanted to commit crimes needed to consider a lot of things before considering doing any crimes. All the crimes committed inside a city are punishable by death. Yes, there is no prison in cities, only execution chambers. This was done so that no one would just casually create crimes.
With the consequences of death, those people who had committed crimes don't have any more choice aside from leaving the city as soon as possible to avoid death, which would then eliminate multiple crimes committed by the same person.
This was the difference between the rulers of cities and rulers of villages and towns.
With that alone, it had already spoken volumes of Leo's capability. To be able to rule a city despite being someone of a young age, obviously, he is smart and powerful. In short, his capability is absolute!
Realizing something, everyone with no faction and those that wanted to leave or join other factions immediately rushed towards Justine and the Savage Foxes faction.
"Hey brother, how about you introduce us to this guy called Leo?" A guy suddenly said while putting his arms around Justine's shoulder.
"Yes, big brother! This little sister here needed someone powerful to protect me. Only someone as capable as Leo could do so, right?" A pretty girl said while showing a cute look as she suddenly arrived in front of Justine.
"Yes, little brother! Introduce us to this, Leo!" A beautiful woman with a big breast said while almost shoving her huge boobs in Justine's face. Luckily, Carlos was fast enough to stop the breast, though this just made the beautiful woman's eyes to lit brightly.
"Since you touched my breast, then you should pay me by introducing me to Leo! If you don't, hehehe... I will report you for sexual harassment!" The beautiful woman with a big breast said to Carlos while her other hand was holding firmly Carlos's hand that was grasping her huge boobs.
Carlos could only gulp a mouthful of saliva. Not because of nervousness, but because of the excitement and trying to hold back his perverted thoughts from surfacing through his face. He finally felt the trouble Leo always faced every day due to Cassandra, Elizabeth, and Angel by his side.
Soon, Carlos' nose began bleeding. The beautiful woman with big breasts wasn't planning on letting go of his hand at all, and she had even pulled herself beside him as she hugged his arms closer, specifically she put Carlos's arms in the middle of her two big boobs.
Carlos really regretted his decision of helping Justine block the beautiful woman. He quickly turned to look at Justine, but he was quickly dumbfounded as he could not find any of Justine's silhouettes anymore.
Actually, Carlos not only failed to see Justine's silhouette but also the other members of Savage Foxes faction. All of them were surrounded by tens of people hoping to join Leo's Mischievous Lion faction.
"F*ck..." Carlos can't help but swear inwardly due to their current situation. If he could turn back time, then he would have surely stopped Justine when the latter wanted to explain who Leo was.

Esper: Search for Power
Dan Martin has a good life. He's respected at his job, and enjoys his work. He is close to his family, and they love and support him. With engaging hobbies, relative financial security, and freedom to learn and pursue his interests, Dan is happy. So it's not particularly welcome when he's selected by an inscrutable and seemingly omnipotent System as a test subject. The downsides: All of this is insane and by any rational analysis he's gonna die. The upsides: Super powers, a cure for a physical disability that had limited him, and above all, so very much to learn (for as long as he can avoid dying). I am very much a beginner as an author, and any feedback or suggestions on how to improve would be deeply appreciated. Chapter releases should be daily for the first two weeks and sporadic after that as I use up my buffer. Please consider this work as a rough draft subject to revision and/or retcon. It is not only my first attempt at original story telling, but at world building and RPG style system design. The latter has been very difficult, even drawing on the brilliant work of many RPGs and LitRPGs for inspiration. Thank you to any willing to give a new story and a new writer a try!

MY FAKE DUNGEON
Giant doors suddenly appeared all over the world. Alex knowing the truth, now has to wander beyond the doors to save his world. But he realized he alone wasn't enough so he sought help from the others, of which he called them... Players.. _______ A heads up, I'm sure you'd be able to infer from the synopsis, this is something like a dungeon owner mc but I just like to say that there is no heavy litrpg to this even thought the mc calls them players. No system (except for mc?) and no level up like that. Just mc trying to use people for his own good. If I had to describe this novel in three words it be, guns, despair, and monsters. WARNING: I'm a complete amateur at writing and my English sucks so.. yahh.. I will post these on other sites such as webnovel and scribblehub as well.
