At this moment, teacher Marvin finally realized something.

Class 1A- and Class 1A+ was eliminated in a very short time frame, specifically Class 1A- first, and after 10 to 15 minutes it was Class 1A+. So, teacher Smith and teacher Garmin should have been able to meet with each other along their way.

The location of both classes was also really close to each other at that moment too, so teacher Garmin should have been able to notice when teacher Smith along with all of his students went missing when the former was flying back to camp with all the students of Class 1A-, considering the fact, that teacher Smith and all of his students went missing at the same time.

However, teacher Garmin actually reported that he didn't even saw teacher Smith or even any of the Class 1A+ students.

By then, teacher Garmin should have become the most suspicious person.

Unfortunately, they weren't able to think about that, since back at that time there was also 2 other more class who were eliminated along with the Class 1A+ and Class 1A-, specifically Class 1D and Class 1A, hence almost all of the teachers went to spread out to the rest of the remaining class to inform them about the adjustment of rules when there are only 12 classes remaining in the trial competition, just like what all the teachers had discussed from the very beginning.

It was only after returning did all of the teachers were informed that teacher Smith and every student of Class 1A+ went missing, which they immediately came up with the solution to just simply looking for them.

Moreover, the Protective equipment that the teacher had given to the students actually also works as a tracker. It can track everyone through a Magic Map of the entire Floating Mountain back at their camp, specifically, the green indicates that the student is still participating in the trial competition and the red indicates that the student is eliminated. That was the exact reason why teacher Marvin was able to find Lena, since he has a back-up Magic Map in him, and so was also teacher Garmin as he found out Lena's whereabouts through the Magic Map back at Silver Mage Academy's camp.

However, the students of Class 1A+ couldn't be traced in the Magic Map anymore, which the only reason is someone turns the Magic equipment tracker off, and the only people who know the code to turn it off was a teacher of the Silver Mage Academy.

Simply put, teacher Garwin along with the Black organization used the time frame when all of the teachers were all busy doing their task to launch his attack on teacher Smith and the students of Class 1A+, used the planned set-up of the trial competition to perfectly cover up his scheme, and to further add to his alibi, he went out first to fetch his eliminated students, which might also just be all part of his plan as their might be a possibility that one influential student of Class 1E+ is actually a member of the Black organization who had influenced everyone to attack and eliminate Class 1A-.

"So, you have actually carefully planned everything from the very beginning!" Teacher Marvin can't help clapping his hand. Teacher Garwin's plan was actually perfect, so perfect that no one would have been able to find out about it no matter how hard anyone tries to investigate.

Unfortunately, an unknown variable called Lena was unexpectedly able to connect everything together. Hence, teacher Garwin's plan was downgraded to become an 'almost perfect' plan.

"Tell me, how did that girl escape?" Teacher Garwin asked. This was the only thing he was really curious about. He was really dying to know who had destroyed his perfect plan.

Well, one of the students who were supposedly imprisoned in a place with over hundreds of Black organization's men around was actually able to escape without anyone finding out. That in itself is already a curiosity inducing thing.

If only teacher Garwin wasn't coincidentally assigned to observe the status of the trial competition through the Magic Map during the time Lena escaped, then he wouldn't have been able to find out about it. Truth be told, the Magical equipment wasn't actually turn off since he could only turn off the tracker of the students and not the teachers. Only teacher Marvin and teacher Lee can do that due to their status of being the 1st year teacher's representative, which then simply meant the Magic Map would have been able to track teacher Smith's location easily. Moreover, he obviously can't turn off 30 students tracker simultaneously too, since he can only turn it off one by one, which he obviously can't do while teacher Smith was around, even with the help of Viper, Caynis, and Escobar.

So, the only reason why teacher Garwin was able to erase the tracker was by taking teacher Smith and all of his students of Class 1A+ to a place with an active interference, specifically the surface of the underground base of the Black organization's secret operation. Hence, when Lena got out of that place, her tracker then became active once again in the Magic Map back at Silver Mage Academy camp. The moment he found out, he didn't hesitate any more and left to find this student.

Unfortunately, the moment teacher Garwin found Lena, she was already giving teacher Marvin and teacher Candice some information about their Black organization's secret operation to Floating Mountain. So, he was left with no other choice aside from killing her in order to stop her from providing any further information, even if it would cost him his identity being found out by teacher Marvin and teacher Candice.

"You see, teacher Garwin, I've told my student a story once." Teacher Marvin smiled before he continued, "If ever one of them were able to meet someone powerful enough to threaten the entire Human race, and was then given by that powerful person the chance to ask one question, what question should they ask them. Unbeknownst to this powerful person, though, they actually have a Transmitter Item capable of transmitting information from there location to the base of the Humans with them. If it were you, what would you ask?"

Teacher Garwin smiled helplessly as he said, "Ask them who they are so you can transfer that information back to the base..."

"Exactly!" Teacher Marvin suddenly waved his hand. A sword suddenly appeared, which was soon after engulfed in crimson-colored flame, "Too bad, I didn't give you that chance to ask a question!"

"Don't you dare underestimate me! You're just a 4 Star Mage while I'm-"

*Whoooosh!

Teacher Marvin suddenly vanished in his spot as he appeared right after in front of teacher Garwin.

"Argh!" Teacher Garwin wasn't able to finish his words as he spits a mouthful of blood while looking at the sword which has already penetrated from his front to his back.

"Be sure to tell my brothers that your Black organization has killed that I said 'Hi' and 'One day I will personally destroy the entire Black organization from the surface of the Celestial World' the moment you meet them in Satan's castle!"

Suddenly, teacher Garwin's whole body was engulfed by the crimson-colored flames, turning him into ashes soon after.

"If only you targeted another Mage Academy this time, then your Black organization would have been able to successfully complete your secret operation without any single problem. Too bad, you choose the Silver Mage Academy, my home!" Teacher Marvin said as he put his Crimson Sword back to its sheath.

*Whoooosh!

Suddenly, teacher Candice appeared in front of teacher Marvin.

"Did you catch that person?" Teacher Candice quickly asked.

"Over there!" Teacher Marvin pointed at the ashes piled up on the ground.

"You didn't even leave me something to release my annoyance?" Teacher Candice puff up her cheeks in annoyance.

Teacher Marvin flicked teacher Candice's forehead as he said, "Don't worry, we will have fun after this!"

"I..."

"By the way, what happened to that girl Lena?" Teacher Marvin quickly changed the topic.

"She... she's gone." Teacher Candice shook her head helplessly.

"How?"

"The dagger was drenched with the Magical Beast Green Tiger Tarantula's poison. But, it was already too late when I realized it."

"How about the body?"

"I casted a Magic Barrier to protect her body from any Magical Beast back at the same place we first found her."

"Let's go!"

Soon after, teacher Marvin and teacher Candice finally returned back to the place where she had supposedly left Lena's body. Surprisingly though, the Magic Barrier was still intact and without any damage at all, but Lena's body was already gone inside.

"....."

...

5 hours have already passed back at the Black organization's secret base of operation.

Many things have already taken place.

One of the men wearing a mask has left the cave earlier after receiving an order from Viper. Base on what Leo had heard, Viper had ordered the man wearing a mask which he found out was called Escobar, to fetch a teacher's body along with a person that he highly suspects was Richton.

Caynis was still not found, but Leo assumed that the former might be out for a secret mission too, considering the fact that the former still didn't come back after 6 hours already passed. If Caynis was really still waiting in a room in that tunnel, then he should have long come back already after getting impatient of waiting for Lena to arrive in his room.

The unknown tool that Viper had tasked to make teacher Smith forge was already finished. It was actually something like a big saddle made out of entirely of some kind of metal with an obvious Magic property.

And lastly, a platform surrounded with metal pillars was already assembled with the help of all the Black organization's men, including Leo and the others who are acting, in the location where the stone tablet with the present Magic Map of the entire Floating Mountain was put before.

Viper had explained to them after that unknown thing was finished assembling that those metal pillars would actually act as a shield that will protect them the moment they release the powerful Magical Beast sealed in the depths of Floating Mountain.

If Leo's guess was correct, then Viper should be describing the Black Shark's parents.

He doesn't really know why Viper was releasing the Black Shark's parents, but looking at the metal saddle that teacher Smith had just finished crafting, he could only assume that Viper is planning to tame the Black Shark's parents.

Also, he just found out about this, but those Black organization's men who had been trying to forcefully tame those Magical Beast Sharks real purpose was to actually order those Magical Beast Sharks they had successfully forced tamed to force their Master, the Black Shark's parents, to agreed with Viper's plan.

Considering all of that evidence he had found out so far, then his assumption should be as good as 80% to 90% correct.

Suddenly, Leo turned to look at Axel and the others as he signaled them to prepare for the final part of his plan.

"Since a few hours have already passed, then Lena should have been already able to inform those teachers about the situation here. Any moment from now, those teachers will soon appear!" Leo thought to himself.
