After that brief explanation from teacher Marvin, everyone from Class 1S- quickly kicked out the thoughts of wanting to join Leo's faction in their minds. Although there was still a little bit of wanting to join left, it would soon be quickly drowned by the thoughts of inferiority.

Who in their right minds would even try to join a faction made up of powerful people, despite knowing that they are weak? Unless, of course, they are so desperate to the point that they would still shamelessly try to join despite knowing their strength!

Anyways, it's not like it is only Leo's faction that exists in the entire Silver Mage Academy. There are still other powerful or average-level factions around their Silver Mage Academy. They could just choose from one of those and try their luck in joining them.

Moreover, although they were a little bit foolish... But strength was usually the basis for becoming a member of a faction, not their intellect. The requirement of being intelligent is most of the time needed only for those leaders of the faction.

"Well, since we are done about that topic, then let's begin our class!" Teacher Marvin said before turning around towards the blackboard as he began writing something.

Meanwhile, Leo was really grateful for teacher Marvin at this moment.

Teacher Marvin had unknowingly pulled out a really big problem out from him. He also turns to look at Alfred. Although there was no longer any trouble, he would still add another 'Big Reward' to Alfred's former 'Big Reward'.

Looking up in front, the word that teacher Marvin had written on the blackboard is, "Faction!".

"Since we were talking about Leo's faction just a while ago, then I will discuss something interesting about the so-called factions created by students..." Teacher Marvin said as he turned to face everyone.

"As you all know, the first-year students within Silver Mage Academy have already started creating their own different faction. But these factions are still not recognized as a real faction to the Silver Mage Academy. Since this so-called faction is just a random group-ups of students that want to complete a task together..."

"This group-up is actually just useless, because its main purpose is only to complete missions easily, and then divide the total points earned to each of the members, evenly. Such group-ups are no different from completing missions individually, actually much more worse than completing missions individually. Truth be told, the points you received are no different from completing a tiny portion of the mission itself because after completing it you would only get a tiny portion of the total points!"

"So, the Silver Mage Academy had established the Silver Faction Hall for the students that wanted to officially establish their own factions in the Mage Academy."

"This official faction doesn't only earn the approval of the Silver Mage Academy, but also they will receive many different perks that come with it! You don't know about this yet, but factions actually also work the same as the Class Ranking system.

Leo and his classmates immediately became interested after hearing about the official factions and that they actually also work the same as the Class Ranking system.

"Official factions have their own ranking system, too. And this ranking system caters to the different year of students of the Silver Mage Academy..." Teacher Marvin paused, "There are separate rankings for first-year students faction, second year, and so on... It's also the same as the class sections in the resources given; the higher the ranking of the faction is, the higher the resources the Silver Mage Academy will give to them."

"Moreover, factions also have the perks. Members of the same faction would share all the points that they had earned from the different missions that they had completed. So, the bit of points that was supposedly going to be received by a student in random group-ups is no longer the same. They will instead receive the entirety of the points, although to be shared by all the members, it would still be a lot worth it compare to random group-ups!"

"Completing a mission in random group-ups would be earned each student an even amount from the total points, depending on the total members in that group-up. If the points rewarded were just 50 and there were 5 students, then every student within that group-up would only get 10 points. Which is too little and is really nothing to compare to the difficulty of the mission that was completed..."

"Imagine killing a dragon, and the reward is 1,000,000 points. But, there are a total of 1,000 students in this group up. After killing this dragon, every student would only receive a total of over 1,000 points! Was that worth it?! That amount of 1,000 points would be nothing compared to the injury that one student had received, and the deaths of the other students completing that mission!"

"Moreover, before going to the mission, every student needs to prepare some materials, too! Medicine, potions, spell engraved papers, extra weapons and armors, supporting tools, and other things which obviously cost points or gold coins! So, the less than or more than 1,000 points that a student had received after completing that mission would just not be enough compare to the difficulty of the mission itself. So, was it really worth it?! Of course not!"

"But, in a faction, that wouldn't be the case! When a faction completes a mission, they will receive the so-called Points Bonus. This Points Bonus would be an added point to the total amount of points rewarded by the completed mission. So, the 1,000,000 points from the killing the dragon mission would increase, depending on the percentage of the Points Bonus that comes with this mission."

"Moreover, the other members of the faction that wasn't included in the killing the dragon mission would also benefit from the mission, and could at the same time give benefits to those students completing the killing the dragon mission!"

"How? Simple! Those students that weren't part of that killing the dragon mission would obviously complete other missions with another Points Bonuses, hence adding more to that 1,000,000 points plus the Points Bonus of the killing the dragon mission. So, was that worth it? Of course yes!"

"Adding to the fact that the faction can rank up! So, different ranks of factions can give different levels of perks to their members. So, the higher the rank of the faction, the more benefits its members will receive and the more points earned every time a member completes a mission!"

"...."

Teacher Marvin continued the discussion. Everyone just keeps on listening until it was finally finished and they move on to another topic.

.....

Soon, the class was finally finished. Teacher Marvin left the classroom, and no one has approached Leo and Alfred anymore.

Leaving the classroom, Leo along with Angel and Alfred immediately went to Class 1S+.

Arriving outside the classroom of Class 1S+, Leo quickly noticed that the Class 1S+ classroom has now turned a lot messier than the last time.

Cassandra and Elizabeth now sat together with Michael, Adrian, Angelo, and Raffy protecting them in front, while the other students that weren't part of the two factions of Class 1S+ were trying to get close to the two women to beg the two to make them join their faction.

Cassandra and Elizabeth weren't minding them though and only leaving the mess to Michael and the others to handle.

Michael and the others were really pitiful to look at. Imagine, 4 students, trying to block 10 students frantically trying to get near a really precious object. That was basically the current situation happening right now inside the rank 1 in the Class Ranking, Class 1S+. Obviously, that really precious object was Cassandra and Elizabeth.

There were now 10 students because Jake and the other four who had been beaten up into unconscious by Leo were kicked out from Carlos' group for Fate knows what reason. Maybe it was to cause trouble to Elizabeth or maybe to Leo since she was his Fiancée.
