"So what you meant to say is that different kinds of Magical Beast Sharks are swimming under us even this moment?" Axel can\'t help but to confirm again what Leo had said.

Leo already finished sharing the information he had gathered so far, and it had immediately raised the hairs in everyone\'s body.

Why is that?

Well, what is currently happening right now was that they are all trap inside an aquarium, specifically an aquarium with an island in the middle and Magical Beast Sharks circling around the island. And not only that, but those Magical Beast Sharks are also swimming around inside the island, as in literally inside the island.

Just thinking of the thoughts that any moment from now they could die would obviously make them feel fearful, especially to people as young as them, and were destined already to have great futures due to being Mages.

"Why is this happening? Aren\'t all Magical Beasts a territorial type, hence they shouldn\'t be destroying their home!" Ehtelyn fearfully commented.

"That\'s the exact reason why I\'m here; to find out what exactly is going on here!" Leo replied.

"Then did you find out the reason why?" Axel asked.

"Unfortunately, till this moment I still don\'t..." Leo shook his head in reply.

Unbeknownst to everyone, he was obviously lying. Naturally, he wouldn\'t just share to everyone that some kind of Magical resources was stimulating these Magical Beast Sharks to destroy Floating Mountain, since that\'s the same as saying \'We can look for that Magical resources ourselves\'. Also, he can\'t just give these people a reason to risk their lives, right? Especially since he was also looking for what exactly is that Magical resources and then use it for himself afterward.

"How about you guys, do you have any sort of idea why these Magical Beast are destroying Floating Mountain?" Axel turned to look at the others for suggestions

"If that\'s the case, then it\'s indeed possible!" Darwin suddenly nodded his head while talking to himself.

"What\'s possible?" Everyone can\'t help but ask, except for Leo naturally since he already has an idea of what is going on.

"One common fact about us Dwarves is that we always tame many different kinds of Magical Beast Moles to find and dig the ground for us to look for all sorts of different Magical raw materials for crafting weapons. The reason is simply because every different kind of Magical Beast Moles treated different Magical resources as treasures, and because of that they can smell those specific Magical resources even if that item was located miles under them."

"Therefore, maybe what is currently happening right now is simply because these Magical Beast Sharks have discovered a Magical resources inside the Floating Mountain. But, due to the fact that these Magical resources are located somewhere inside Floating Mountain, which is land and not water, hence their sense of smell doesn\'t work the same as when they\'re in the water anymore. With that into consideration, then what is happening right now should be that these Magical Beast Sharks are just blindly searching around the Floating Mountain!"

At the side, Leo could only secretly feel helpless. Although in his idea he assumed that the Magical Beast Sharks were planning to sink the island, Darwin\'s idea still sounded reasonable nonetheless. It was really unfortunate that what he was hiding had been easily discovered by Darwin. And because of that, these people would now be competing with him. Obviously, they will not show those thoughts on the surface, but all or maybe just some of them would definitely be thinking of finding it and using it for themselves like him.

After Darwin finished explaining, the group\'s atmosphere immediately changed. Obviously, the agreed truce is now nothing but a mere word and no longer an agreement.

"Ehem!" Axel quickly pulled out everyone\'s attention towards him, "It\'s pretty obvious that you guys want to look for what this Magical resources are, and naturally, since I\'m not someone who can hold all of you back, you can. As for the Class E Alliance, though, I declare that we will not join the search."

"Why?!" Aiden immediately disagreed. If even Two Star Magical Beast Sharks were attracted to search for this Magical Item, then it\'s obviously really powerful. So, why was Axel exempting himself out of it?

"Because I\'m a leader!" Axel replied. To get for this Magical resources, he obviously needed most of his classmates\' help. However, because he was the leader of the Class E Alliance, he will not agree with unnecessarily sacrificing his classmates\' lives. A Magical resources can only be used by an individual or best a few people. And if ever he can indeed get this Magical resources, then who would he give it to afterward? Using it for himself wasn\'t even considered as an option for him. And even if this Magical resources can be used as compensation for the lost lives, or even if he has the money to compensate the death of some of his classmates, for him it\'s still not worth sacrificing his classmates lives, at least in his case right now since he\'s still a student and the people he is currently leading right now are also just a bunch of students. If what he was leading right now were some soldiers and mercenaries, then he would not hesitate to sacrifice those people since they are working as employer and employee relationship.

"Okay..." Aiden can only helplessly nod his head. Because Class 1A was already eliminated due to his betrayal and he was then offered to join Class 1E- afterwards due to his skills and talents. Obviously it comes with a price. And that price was that he will help the Class E Alliance in the entire span of the trial competition, and he also can\'t do anything as freely as before anymore. If Axel, the leader of Class E Alliance, doesn\'t want to do it, then he has no choice but to also follow after or else he would be eliminated.

"Since Class E Alliance is out, then Class C Alliance is also out!" Ehtelyn also agreed with Axel\'s reason. Also, it\'s really against her conscience to use other people\'s lives.

"How about let\'s check if the situation is really dangerous or not? If it\'s indeed really dangerous, then let\'s just fall back." Murgan suddenly proposed.

"I agree with that!" Darwin quickly agreed. As a Dwarf race, his curiosity to rare Magical resources was a lot higher in level compared to the other races, especially since the suspected unknown Magical resources right now was even able to attract a Two Star Magical Beast.

"And what if the situation is not dangerous?" Axel said with a smirk. In his opinion, Murgan\'s proposal sounded suspicious. If they could indeed easily get this unknown Magical resources, then how would they divide it to themselves? Obviously, they won���t bother with calling their classmates to help them in such a case, right? Use the Finders Keepers rule? That might be applicable if they are friends or brothers, but they are nothing but strangers in a truce, and on top of that, all of them are even leaders of different classes here, so that rule is next to impossible to be agreed upon by all of them.

"Who has the biggest fist gets to keep it!" Murgan replied with a sharp look in his eyes.

"Then how about let\'s decide who has the biggest fist right this moment?!" Axel suddenly released his aura around him, which Murgan also replied back with his own.

"Stupid muscle heads! Immediately keep that down, those Magical Beast Sharks might notice us!" Matthew quickly tried to stop the two.

"Tch!"

"Tch!"

Hearing Matthew\'s warning, Axel and Murgan slowly pulled back their aura.

"Boys are really stupid!"

"Obviously!"

"I can\'t disagree with that!"

Ehtelyn, Tiffany, and Melthy can\'t help but comment.

"Humans are really dumb, right Leo?" Darwin said as he turned to look at Leo.

"I\'m a Human too, idiot!" Leo thought with a roll of his eyes after hearing Darwin\'s words.

"Hey Leo, do you also agree with Murgan\'s idea?" Axel suddenly asked.

Leo can\'t help but feel dumbfounded. He was just staying silently here in order to stay away from trouble, yet trouble actually came to knock on his doors once again.

"It doesn\'t sound that bad to me..." Leo answered, "But, how about if we can indeed get that unknown Magical resources easily let\'s just compete who it will belong to after getting out of this island?"

"Oh, that doesn\'t sound bad at all!" Murgan quickly agreed.

"I agree! You\'re indeed a smart guy like what the reports said, Leo!" Axel nodded his head.

"Maybe not all boys are stupid!" Ehtelyn also approved.

"Fair enough! Then how about let\'s compete in Blacksmithing skills?" Darwin suddenly proposed.

"That\'s unfair, Darwin!" Matthew shook his head, "Let\'s compete in Alchemy instead!"

"Then you will obviously win!"

"So does in Blacksmithing!"

"....."

"Let\'s just ask Leo!" Axel put his hand in both of Darwin and Matthew\'s shoulders to stop them from arguing any further before turning his head to look at Leo, expectations were evident in his eyes.

Everyone nodded their heads as they then turned to look at Leo one by one.

Deep in Leo\'s mind though, he could only think, "Although I\'m indeed smart, this kind of problem would also leave me helpless, especially since I don\'t even have any slight idea on what everyone likes."

"How about let\'s vote..." Leo could only suggest voting for what sort of competition it would be.

"Then I vote fighting!" Axel quickly voted.

"So do I!" Murgan agreed.

"I also agree!" Ehtelyn followed up, which was also quickly agreed by Tiffany and Melthy.

"It\'s decided then!" Leo heaved a sigh of relief. He really didn\'t expect it would be solved that easily. In his mind, he also agrees with their suggestion, since if it\'s fighting he could also participate fairly.

On the other hand, though, David and Matthew could only shake their heads helplessly. Fighting was really not their forte since both of them were Blacksmith and Alchemist, which also means they are not really good at fighting.

"As for David and Matthew, they can just ask someone to represent them...?" Leo suggested.

"As long as that person is their classmate, then I agree!" Axel agreed.

Murgan, Ehtelyn, and the other two girls also agreed.

"Thank you, Leo!" David said.

"I\'ll repay this favor one day, Leo!" Matthew said.

"Let\'s go look for that Magical resources, then!" Axel said as he lead the way.

And with that, Leo and the others quickly decided on which tunnel to choose from among the numerous tunnels.
