Upon Leo's arrival, Michael and the other three students immediately stationed themselves in front of them. They were preparing to block anyone who would suddenly lose all senses and charge towards them out of desperation.
Alfred was also standing at Leo's side preparing to pull the latter and Cassandra away from the classroom if ever something bad would suddenly erupt.
Alfred and the four students can't help but feel helpless towards Leo and Cassandra. They thought in their mind, "Why can't you two lovebirds think of the situation first before thinking of jumping in?!"
Looking at Leo seemingly embracing Cassandra, everyone from 1S+ mood immediately turned for the worst. They then began verbally attacking Leo with their words soon after.
"Huh? Who the heck is this punk?!"
"Do you know who we are punk, we are the Class 1S+! The top class section of the entire Silver Mage Academy 1st year students Class Ranking!"
"Who the hell are you to even try to mingle with our princess, Cassandra!"
"You are just a student from some low-class section, right? So, get the fuck out of our room if you don't want to taste the power of the Class 1S+!"
Hearing their words, Leo just replied with a sneer. He had long labeled them as 'useless and stupid people!' right this moment, unexpectedly like how Cassandra had described them.
"Oh, is that so? Then why don't you just go and create your own team if you are indeed worthy of being a student of Class 1S+?" Leo replied mockingly.
Everyone was immediately left speechless as they couldn't find any words to argue back with Leo's mocking words.
The reason why they can't make any rebuttal against Leo's words was simply because they had, just this morning, realized that they were actually not worthy of even becoming students of Class 1S+.
That's right, they were just a bunch of people who had just discovered their affinity for becoming a Mage. They can't even cast a spell, yet. And suddenly, they found themselves thrown into a section at the top of one of the Class Rankings.
At first, they were feeling really excited about it and also proud of themselves. But, just this morning, they were informed of the truth of their class section. Instantly their whole world collapsed and they became depressed.
Adding to the fact too that completing a mission isn't as easy as they hoped it would be, hence it immediately made them more desperate to look for someone to rely on.
And just to make matters even worse, the moment they tried asking for help from the capable and strong ones in their classroom, they were immediately refused. Those people only left them the words, 'Ask Elizabeth', since all of them were already invited to be part of Elizabeth's faction.
Naturally, they came to Elizabeth to try to ask to join her team, but they were again refused.
They then realized that those students who became part of her team were actually the only worthy to become a student of Class 1S+.
It was at that moment they realized that all of them were now treated as a bunch of left out.
But Fate has somewhat made a way for them as they realized soon after that Cassandra, who they deemed as one of the strong, didn't plan on joining Elizabeth's faction. Hence, they quickly grabbed the opportunity and tried to persuade her to become their 'nanny'.
They of course were aware that they were being shameless, but they were Nobles after all, and the image of their Noble Household was on the line if they just allowed themselves to become a bunch of left out.
They obviously won't allow anyone to just laugh at them the moment those other students of the Silver Mage Academy realized that they were part of the Class 1S+ yet just a bunch of useless students.
Just imagining the scene of them walking towards their classroom while being laughed at by the students of other class sections was already making them depressed. So, it made them more desperate to create a team with Cassandra.
However, the reality was again cruel to them.
The truth was, Fate didn't leave them a path, but a brick wall with a drawing of a golden paved road.
The moment they tried to ask to create a team with Cassandra, they were again refused. They didn't give up though, since that would be akin to accepting their fate of becoming losers. But then, seemingly out of nowhere, just when they thought that they could finally persuade her, some unknown guy suddenly jumped out of nowhere and embraced their 'last hope' while loudly claiming that she was a part of his team.
Though they wanted to argue, they could see with their own eyes that Cassandra wasn't even minding his embrace. It just made everyone's blood boil hotter, making them further lose their reasoning and logic.
"How about let's battle it out?! If ever you win you will have her and if we win, naturally we will have her!"
"Yes! Let's battle it out!"
"Oh, are you perhaps afraid? Hahaha, then just give her to us before you get beaten up!"
Towards their antiques, Leo just laughed out loudly. Even Alfred, Michael, and the other three students acting as bodyguards were trying to hold their laughter, too.
Finishing his laugh while still trying to wipe some tears from his eyes, Leo quickly said, "Who do you think you are to demand a challenge from me? And who in their right mind would even accept a challenge, knowing that they already have the price? Are you stupid or are you just stupid?" he then let out a sneer at them.
"Huh, the price is already yours?! Are you blind or deaf, can't you see that she is just being forced by you..." The weak-looking student desperately said but he was immediately interrupted by Leo raising his hand.
Leo raised his hand in front to stop the weak-looking student as he began laughing again because of the latter's words, "Hey, hey, hey! Hahaha! Are you perhaps calling white as black and black as white? We can clearly see here who is forcing who!"
"Even if you asked your other classmates from the student representative's side," Leo said while pointing towards Elizabeth's group before he continued laughing as he tried to hold his stomach to try and stop his laughter this time.
"Fuck! Let's just fight it off! Who are you to even treat Cassandra as a tool!"
"Yes! I don't believe that his group can defeat all of us!"
"Yes! Even if we get defeated as long as we fight because he's mistreating her, it will all be worth it!"
Hearing that he was just treating Cassandra as a tool, Leo's mood immediately turned serious.
"Me, treating her as a tool? You there, come closer!" Leo said as he beckoned the weak-looking student from before to come in front of him.
The weak-looking guy started hesitating the moment Leo called him to come closer. He was not stupid to right away go in front of Leo. Nobody knows what that guy would do to him the instant he arrives in front of him.
"Come, you were so courageous a while ago, where is that courageous side now?" Leo said, obviously being pissed by the claim that he was using Cassandra as a tool.
Even though Cassandra was his slave, not once did he even treat her as a tool or even a slave. He was even giving her the protection she needed. Just what part of that was him treating her as a tool? So, he became really pissed at the weak-looking student's unreasonable claim.
The weak-looking student didn't know anymore what to do aside from taking a walk toward Leo. He truly regretted saying those words. It was pretty obvious that the latter wasn't treating Cassandra as a tool, yet he dared call it that way.
However, before the weak-looking student could take a step forward, a hand suddenly held his shoulder. He turned around his head slowly, and he then saw a seemingly bald angel trying to save him.
"Even if you are not part of our faction, we are still part of the same class section. Hence, we can't just allow anyone to trash around in our class section, especially inside our room." A muscular student with a bald head said while holding the shoulder of the weak-looking student, "Hey kid, what is your name?" He added.
"Leo, Leo Heart!" Leo said while still wearing his serious expression.
"I'm Carlos Smith, nice meeting you. How about letting this guy name Stephen off, just give me a bit of face here." Carlos said, obviously trying to help the weak-looking student.
"Oh, his name is Stephen. Hmph, what if I don't give you any face? What will you do to me, then?" Leo said with a smirk.
"Well, you will be making the whole Class 1S+ your enemy!" Carlos said, helplessly shaking his head.
