After listening to Leo's explanation, everyone had also understood one very important point at this moment; despite banning the Points Trading, all the Mage Academies had actually still left another way for the students to earn points easily.
"But what is the difference between Points Trading and buying Official Seal?" Alfred immediately asked. Points Trading and buying Official Seal was the same. In fact, it seems like nothing was different at all.
"It's simple! In Points Trading a student can use all of their points to do the trading, while on the other hand in Buying Official Seal they can only buy the Reward Points rewarded to the said mission that a student had completed. Hence, Buying Official Seal had limited everyone's buying and selling since every Official Seal has a different amount of points. Simply put, the seller would face the situation where a buyer requires a certain amount of points which the seller can't offer as they might have more or less than the points the buyer requires."
"Moreover, with the banning of the Points Trading before, it had already given every student the mentality that what they were currently doing was called cheating, hence no one would now dare to abuse it. In an example, no students would collect Official Seal until it reaches a certain amount that a buyer needed, since exchanging a lot of Official Seal for points in one go would definitely alarm the Mage Academies, hence it might cause the banning of Buying Official Seals like the Points Trading."
"What if the buyer would just exchange it one at a time instead, like exchange today, then tomorrow, then the next day, doesn't that cover up the tracks of cheating?" Alfred suddenly asked.
"Indeed, it can be done that way, too! But that's the same way as saying out loud to the Mage Academies that they are going to sell their Official Seal soon or they are doing a Buying Official Seal to earn their points!"
"Everyone should long be aware that what every student had accepted and completed is being recorded by the Mage Academies. So, if a student has completed a mission but their points didn't rise or they didn't complete any mission but yet their points kept on rising, then that only means that they are doing the 'cheat' Buying Official Seal!" Leo paused before he suddenly asked, "Moreover, that isn't the most important part! Do you know the real reason why Points Trading was banned by all the Mage Academies?"
Everyone shook their head in response, except for Alfred.
"Wasn't it banned because it's cheating?" Alfred suddenly asked.
"You said it yourself that it was just an excuse awhile ago! Aystt, nevermind that... At first, I indeed thought that it was just an excuse of the Mage Academies to ban Points Trading, but then I realized something really important! The reason for banning Points Trading because of cheating wasn't an excuse at all, but the truth!"
"In my opinion, what really happened was that the Mage Academies have intentionally left the students to use the cheat called Points Trading so that they will have a way to easily earn points, but then the students abused it, to the point that the students don't even need to complete missions at all anymore and just wait outside of their Mage Academies respective Job Bulletin office. Because of that, the Mage Academies' existence was deemed useless, hence they banned it, but then they soon after changed it to Buying Official Seal!"
"Then why did all the Mage Academies intentionally left their students a method to easily earn points?" Justine quickly followed up. Since making a method to easily earn points was basically going to deem the Mage Academies' existence useless, then why were they still leaving the students such methods.
"Because everyone's talent is not the same! Hence, the Mage Academies intentionally left such cheating method, in order to allow their weak students to earn points but at the same time still achieving their goal of making the students adapt to the cruelty of the Celestial World!" Leo quickly answered.
"It is an indisputable fact that everyone is not the same, that some are strong and some are weak, and some are under the hierarchy while some others are geniuses sitting on the top of the hierarchy! So, what would the Mage Academies do to help these kinds of people? Simple, that is, by leaving them an easy way out!"
Hearing Leo's explanation, Justine suddenly got inspired, "I finally understand why, hahaha! The Maye Academies had purposely left the cheating methods to take care of the weak students but not in a way that will affect their growth, so they established the Points Trading and Buying Official Seal to help them in an inconspicuous way." He then looked towards Leo as he now viewed the latter in a different light.
To be able to think of the Mage Academies purpose just by Alfred's small explanation, this already explains that Leo was really intelligent!
"Then if the students abuse this cheating method again the Mage Academies would just simply banned it using the same reason that it is a cheat before they quietly established another method to easily earned points, again!" Alfred said finally understanding it, too.
"Yep! This is simply the method of the Mage Academies to take care of their weak students!" Leo finally concluded.
At this moment, everyone finally understood the reason behind the existence of Points Trading and Buying Official Seal.
Points Trading or Buying Official Seal was indeed a cheat, but at the same time, it was also the secret methods of the Mage Academies to take care of their weak students.
Obviously, all the Maye Academies had already expected such an unfair situation where the strong would rise while the weak would remain weak or just become average. So, the Mage Academies had created a method to help them changed this repeating case, or rather, the Nature's System.
By the establishment of the Points Trading and Buying Official Seal, the weak students would be able to easily earn points just by exchanging resources with other students.
Obviously, the resources were everything to the students, hence the reason they are earning points. But not everyone needed the same kind of resources because not everyone was the same!
Mages have different affinity once they became Mages. Some major in Wind, some major in Fire, and so on and so forth. So, by exchanging different resources that different students needed, the weak students would still be able to become strong, hence not affecting their personal growth. Then, the moment those weak students became strong, they would start completing missions, which has then achieved the main purpose of the Mage Academies existence.
However, the situation where students would abuse the methods given by the Mage Academies couldn't be avoided. So, the moment the method is being abused by the weak students, the Mage Academies would just then ban it before secretly establishing a new one, soon after.
The cycle would just then keep on repeating and repeating until everything in the Celestial World became fix.
To be honest, the real reason why all the Mage Academies were doing this repetitive method was to make use of every Mages in the battlefield of the War of Races.
Strong or Weak, everything counts on the battlefield of the War of Races. Maybe a small fireball from a One Star Mage will affect the battle of Two Star Mages, and maybe this battle between Two Star Mages would affect the overall Fate of the nearby Three Star Mages, and so on.
"Again, it's because of the War of Races!" Leo thought to himself. Everything that the Humans were doing now that he had currently seen was all for the sake of the War of Races! He was now starting to get annoyed by such a fact.
However, he was reasonable enough to understand why this was the case; it was all for the sake of peace!
Countless war just for the sake of peace!
No matter what method all the races choose in achieving their so-called peace, the only war was the best answer that they have come up with!
Once a race doesn't want to get extinct, it will immediately ally itself with another race. But what for? Of course, to fight so that they will not get extinct! Which would then result in a bigger war!
Afterwards, that race that the two races had fought against together would then realize its current predicament and that it will be the one to go extinct if it continues this way. So, that race will find allies, just like its opponents' case. But what for? Of course to fight so that they will not be the ones to go extinct, again! Which would then just cause the existing war to become much more larger!
The cycle of war would just repeat and repeat, the same as the method of why the Mage Academies created such a secret method to take care of the weak students.
Leo can't help but to let out a short laugh which then attracted everyone's attention.
"Why are you laughing?" Cassandra currently at Leo's right side can't help but ask.
"I just realized another goal in my mind!" Leo quickly replied.
"Huh? What better things than mine can that stupid brain of yours even think about?" Elizabeth said at Leo's left side in a mocking tone of voice.
Leo spread his arms to the left and right as he suddenly pulled Cassandra and Elizabeth towards his embrace before he said, "Of course, it's conquering these two worlds!"
Cassandra and Elizabeth immediately blushed within Leo's embraced before they quickly pinched his left and right side, making him let go of them.
Obviously, that wasn't his real goal!
'Since the Mage Academies was able to create a method to counter the Nature's System, then it's also possible for me to create one!'
