Chapter 131: The Teachers Wise Plan (1/2)
Author: M_W Cancer
”If that's the case, then those Bandits are simply sent out by the teachers to stage a play in front of us!” Leo finally thought of the reason behind this ambush.
”The question though is, why did these Bandits agree to attack us?” Leo feels in deep thought again.
”Leo, we are done gathering!” Alfred suddenly called out with the entire Class 1S- behind him.
”Same on our side!” Carlos followed after with the entire Class 1S+ behind him.
”Class 1S is also present!” Justine, who was one of the leaders of Class 1S also followed after with the entire Class 1S behind him. Since these Bandits attack their side, then obviously Justine and the Class 1S wouldn't be absent.
Leo was quickly pulled out from his deep thought the moment the three Class 1S's called out to him.
”Let's not bother about that, those cunning teachers would reveal the answer, anyway after this...” Leo thought as he turned to look at everyone. He continued, ”Class 1S+ proceed to 9 o'clock position, Class 1S proceed to 3 o'clock position, and Class 1S-, let's proceed to 12 o'clock position!”
Alfred, Carlos, and Justine nodded their heads without any thoughts of hesitation before they quickly proceeded into their allocated position along with their respective class.
Leo followed along the Class 1S- as they quickly run towards the 12 o'clock position. This was the location where 5 Bandit Mages were gathered together, so he purposely decided to handle this place in order for the other Class 1S's not to disagree with his plan. After all, despite Carlos and Justine being Leo's friend, they would still think of what was better for their class, right? So, if Leo had indeed assigned one of them to handle the middle, then they might hesitate to think whether to accept such order or not. No, to be more exact, it's Carlos and Justine's classmates that will hesitate since not all of them trust Leo yet. Although, in the end, they will still decide to accept Leo's order, but definitely the next time a lot of them would not follow Leo's order that easily anymore, thinking that Leo was going to set them up once again.
To be honest, the 12 o'clock position was not really a big problem for Leo and the Class 1S- to handle. Although there were indeed 5 Bandit Mages in this location, it was still easy to handle since there is basically 20 Mages in Leo's Class 1S-. No matter how a person looked at their current situation right bow, the attacking Bandits were obviously at a disadvantageous position here.
To be honest, that reason was actually just the minor reason behind why Leo decided to choose the 12 o'clock position. The main or major reason was actually to train his classmates to fight an actual battle against real Mages and to also see their capabilities for himself.
After all, he took the position of the leader of Class 1S-, hence in order for him to become a good and capable leader he needed to know his classmates better. To be honest, from the very beginning till this present time, he actually still doesn't have any idea of his classmate's real capability, and this situation right now is the perfect time to know about it.
*Boom!
*Bang!
*Whooosh!
*Clang!
*Sziiihh!
Arriving behind the soldiers and mercenaries, Leo immediately heard the sounds of Mages Magic spell, sword clashing with each other, and other more sounds of battle around him.
”10 Mages group into 2 as you attack those 5 Bandit Mages behind the group of ordinary Bandits!”
”The 8 of you, go and assist the soldiers and mercenaries against those ordinary Bandits!”
Leo quickly positions all of his classmates to a different location. As he doesn't know yet the real capability of almost all of his classmates, hence he had to arrange a 2vs1 fight to those Bandit Mages so that he will be assured that no one would be seriously injured or worst case dies amongst his classmates.
Also, he only sent out 8 Mages to fight those ordinary Bandits as it wasn't really a big deal to handle them, especially since they have the assistance of those soldiers and mercenaries in their side.
Lastly, he decided that he and Angel would also have to remain for two different purposes.
His purpose was to dictate the flow of the battle, not just his battle at the 12 o'clock position though, but also the 3 and 9 o'clock position, specifically Carlos Class 1S+ and Justine Class 1S. Although the other Class 1S's have their own leader to dictate the battlefield over their position, an army wouldn't only have a General, but also a Commander. He was that Commander, and Carlos, Justine, and the other leader of the Class 1S, Dylan are his respective Generals.
On the other hand, Angel's purpose is to assist those classmates of his who were currently fighting against the 5 Bandit Mages.
