After breaking up the fight between Levi and the Void Eater which they have now named the Void Eater as Vox, Leo and the others quickly resumed the journey to the Mischievous Lion organization's Headquarters.

Every single second was important for them right now, so staying any longer just to see a Magical Beast fight would be so stupid of them.

With the help of Levi and Vox, they were able to easily avoid many stampedes and ambushes. No Star Magical Beast to 2 Star Magical Beast also doesn't dare to casually approach them anymore because of the two little ones, adding to the fray Charlotte who has now finally decided to release her 9 Star Battle Mage Magic Power since it's now the last stretch for them to arrive at the Mischievous Lion organization's Headquarters.

.....

After a few hours, Leo and the others finally arrived in a place circled by the tallest hill they have ever seen in the Hundred Hills territory.

There were a total of 8 tall hills circling around something in the middle. Looking around the surrounding, they soon found out that there were actually no noticeable paths in between the 8 hills, it was like the 8 hills were connected with one another.

Leo motioned his hand to stop everyone in front of the middle part of the hill as he said, "We have already arrived, the only thing we need to worry now is what kind of challenge we need to complete in order for us to be granted an entry."

"What? There is still a challenge before getting inside?" Ahmed was dumbfounded after hearing about their being a challenge.

"I forgot to tell you..." Leo scratched his head awkwardly, "Anyways, as long as a few of us successfully pass this challenge, all of us would immediately be granted an entry to the Mischievous Lion organization's Headquarters. But, don't think of giving up immediately the moment you enter and just simply letting the strongest carry us because experiencing this challenge is still a lot worth it."

Everyone nodded their heads in understanding before heaving a sigh of relief. With such a mechanic, the majority of them don't need to worry about not passing or not anymore.

Also, the majority of them, specifically Ahmed, Brad, Jasmine, and Number 1 to Number 10, we're really afraid of losing and not be granted an entry, especially since we're also the weakest amongst the group so it's still a question whether they can really pass the test or not.

They were thinking in their minds that what would they do next if they don't pass?

Although they can simply wait for Leo to finish his business inside, that would also mean that they need to survive outside of the Mischievous Lion organization's Headquarters until he finally finishes that said business. After all, there are Magical Beast that is even much more powerful than those Vinetop Moss they have met before that lives around the Mischievous Lion organization's Headquarters, so being left outside would be the same as being left inside a cage surrounded by powerful Magical Beast.

*Cringggkkk!

Soon after, an inconspicuous door slowly opened and revealing behind were 3 people covered entirely with black clothes.

"Leo?" One of the black-clothed people asked before slowly removing the cover to his face to everyone.

"Blaze?" Leo asked in surprise. He really didn't expect to see Blaze here.

Blaze was one of the leaders of the Burning Lion faction back at Silver Mage Academy. If he's here, then that also means his other brothers are those other 2 people beside him.

"Oh, oh, oh, it's actually Leo!" Haze hurriedly approaches.

"I didn't expect that you would first come to visit the Mischievous Lion organization's Headquarters after finally coming back from your 10-day trip. Queen Olivia would definitely feel heartbroken because her favorite discipline didn't visit her first, hahahaha!" Glaze said with a laugh.

Turning his head behind Leo, Blaze then asked, "Who are they new recruits?"

"Don't worry, they're my men." Leo replied.

"What?!" Haze was immediately dumbfounded after he observed Charlotte. At first, he was only curious about who this beautiful girl is and so he started observing her, but as soon as he felt the Magic Power surrounding around her, he was immediately shocked beyond belief because he found out that she's actually in the 9 Star level. He continued, "You meant this 9 Star woman is one of your men?"

"What do..." Glaze doesn't really want to believe Haze, but as soon as he observes Charlotte personally, he quickly shut his mouth because Haze was actually telling the truth.

"Why are you both causing such a loud ruckus over there?" Blaze was soon attracted to Haze and Glaze behind Leo. He then saw Haze pointing his finger at Charlotte, so he turned his head to look at her.

After finding out that Charlotte is actually in the 9 Star level, Blaze quickly began observing the others thinking that they might be at a similar level as her.

Fortunately, they weren't the same as Charlotte's cultivation, causing Blaze to breathe a sigh of relief. If they were all 9 Star level, then Gemini Dagger George, the person he was loyal to, would definitely not stand any chance against Leo anymore.

"By the way, why are the three of you in here? Shouldn't you be with my senior brother George at the Southwest Fortress?" Leo curiously asked. Blaze, Haze, and Glaze were actually people who had swore loyalty to George, so they should be with him right now not in the Mischievous Lion organization's Headquarters, especially since the war right now really requires the 12 Zodiacs and their men to always be prepared and active.

"We have just escaped from the Silver Mage Academy, so we are currently resting in the headquarters and would only be going to the Southern Fortress to meet up with Young Master George next week." Blaze explained.

"Escape away from the Silver Mage Academy? Did they find out about you guys being spies of the Mischievous Lion organization?" Leo curiously asked.

"Every faction with the name Lion or any connection to the 12 Zodiacs were quickly investigated. Fortunately, I and my men were in an away mission at that time, so we were able to easily escape away." Blaze explained.

"What?!! Then how about my Mischievous Lion faction?" Leo quickly asked worriedly. If even the Burning Lion faction was suspected and was subject to investigation, then not to mention the Mischievous Lion faction who basically used the same name as the Mischievous Lion organization.

"They're even luckier because just right after the Floating Mountain Tragedy they were quickly sent back to their homes. Although all of your members didn't really follow with the instructions, since almost all of them went to Heart city to continue their cultivation." Blaze explained.

"Good, good, good..." Leo smiled, but he quickly turned serious as he then asked, "So, what's the challenge for entry this time?"

He was really worried about Cassandra and the others' safety, but after knowing that they were safe back at Heart city, he quickly returned back to his main intention of going to the Mischievous Lion organization's Headquarters.

"I'm glad you asked... Follow me!" Glaze said before motioning for Leo and the others to follow after him.

Leo and the others then went inside the door while following behind Blaze, Haze, and Glaze in front of them.

Along the way, Charlotte and the other first-timer were astonished and amazed while looking around the place.

The moment they walked inside the door, they were immediately greeted by loop of giant rooms with different people training inside them. The hallway they were walking through doesn't actually have any walls, only rooms with glass, and it's stretched out beyond what their own eyes could see.

"This is the Mischievous Lion organization's Training Ground. Just like what you're seeing right now, this entire hallway in front of you stretches all the way to our back, forming a circle. This circle is under those 8 tall hills you have seen outside, so there is no need for us to worry about the training ground being discovered outside." Haze immediately started introducing.

Looking at the giant rooms, everyone quickly noticed a room made out entirely of ice where the person they saw training inside was trying his best to get up the highest part of the room using only hands to reach its target. It might look easy, but with how slippery and hard to traverse the ice was, especially with no tools or weapons on hand, it is obvious already that reaching the target is extremely hard.

They also discovered another room that shows a burning three-story tall building with a target located on the 3rd floor of the building inside a big safe with a Magic array to lower the safe's temperature inside. The only way to reach the 3rd floor was only by using the stairs that were almost covered entirely by flames or to use the railings to climb up floor by floor. Due to how hot the building was right now, adding more that the giant room is enclosed, which means the heat and smoke stay inside the room, completing this training is not only hard but also life-threatening.

And the most shocking giant room they have ever seen in their entire life, a person was put inside a small cage, specifically only enough to fit 5 people inside, while fighting with dozens of Magical Beast that were actually outside the cage. They have seen people doing cage fighting before where a person fights against a Magical Beast inside a cage, but this was their first time seeing something where a person is placed inside a really small cage while fighting a Magical Beast that has a seemingly infinite amount of ways to attack them due to them being outside of the cage.

"Would that person inside be safe?" Charlotte can't help asking. Even she was having second thoughts about whether she could survive something like that. Although she's a 9 Star Battle Mage, but with a space as small as that to maneuver, successfully dodging those Magical Beast attacks would be next to impossible. She was even sure that the major cause of death of the people that train in that giant room would be due to blood loss from the injuries that are next to impossible to dodge and the lack of energy to continue.

"I'm also curious whether that person could indeed survive or not. Does the Mischievous Lion organization perhaps encourages death?" Princess Elaine curiously asked. If Mischievous Lion organization encourages death, then they are basically almost similar to sects.

"That's the 3rd hardest training in here called the Death's Cage. A person is put inside a cage that is only 5 square meters big and with a space in between each bars enough for the Magical Beast to attack inside. Their task is actually not to survive, but how to kill the Magical Beast outside while being inside the cage. Because of that, there is nearly no way to determine whether that person can survive or not." Haze explained, "Anyways, you don't need to worry about that person. He would not die because those Magical Beast are tamed by the people in-charged for this training."

"What?!" Jeffrey, Matt, and Venice exclaimed out of shock in unison after hearing that it was actually not to survive but how to kill those Magical Beast outside.

"That's impossible to complete, right?" Brad can't help asking.

"Even calling it impossible is an understatement, the appropriate way to describe this is suicidal!" Ahmed corrected.

"Actually, it's not really impossible or suicidal." Glaze answered.

"Sir Glaze, if it's okay to ask, just how many people have completed this training?" Jasmine asked.

"I think..." Glaze began counting with his hand while trying to remember the people who have completed the Death's Cage, "I think there are already more than 50 people who have completed the Death's Cage."

"What?!!" Number One to Number Ten was shocked at how many people have completed the Death's Cage. In their expectations, 10 people completing the Death's Cage training is already an astonishing number, yet there are actually more than 50, just how strong are those people to complete a suicidal training like this?

"In fact, the holder of the number 1 record for the fastest person to complete the Death's Cage training is Leo." Glaze revealed while pointing at Leo, who was currently talking with Blaze in front of them.

"How...?" Charlotte and the others were immediately rendered speechless. The person that they thought was only smart was actually someone who has completed this suicidal training?! And he was even the fastest?!

"That's exactly my question too, how did he achieve it!" Haze suddenly said, "Even the entire Mischievous Lion organization was shocked when we heard that he completed it for less than 10 minutes. He must have cheated, right? right? right? That's the only way why he was able to beat Young Master George!"

"We are here!" Blaze suddenly interrupted everyone.
