Their search for a way to return to the surface continued for hours until finally, everyone decided to rest at a corner.

”Guys, which class do you think would win in this trial competition?” Aiden suddenly started.

”Of course, our class!” Axel confidently replied.

”Tch, it's obviously ours!” Murgan quickly disagreed.

”Boys, you should not forget that Class C Alliance still remained untouchable till this point, so it's obviously our class that will win!” Ehtelyn joined in.

Darwin suddenly sat right beside Leo as he asked, ”How about you Leo, who do you think will win?”

”I think one of the Class E will win!” Leo replied.

”I also agree with that!” Aiden supported.

”Why?” Everyone immediately became curious the moment they heard Leo and Aiden's assumption.

”That's a very simple question! Well, you see, the Class C Alliance and Class D Alliance currently lacked their leaders right now, so Class E Alliance and Class S Alliance could pretty much cherry-pick everyone right this moment.” Leo explained, ”And when it's only going to be a fight between Class E Alliance against Class S Alliance, I can only assume that we will be able to destroy 2/3 of the Class E Alliance before the entire Class S Alliance finally gets eliminated.”

”See that Murgan, two people acknowledge that we will win!” Axel proudly said.

”However,” Leo unexpectedly continued, ”Assuming that Class E Alliance has both leaders and vice-leaders, then right now Class E Alliance should be in a total disadvantageous position too since there should only be 4 leaders currently leading the alliance.”

”So what you're trying to say is; Class S Alliance is in a really advantageous position right this moment since you're the only one missing?” Aiden asked dubiously.

”Exactly!” Leo smiled mischievously.

”Hey guys, how about let's just eliminate Leo?” Axel whispered something to Murgan before he suddenly proposed.

”And take away a sword that can fight against your Class E Alliance, no thanks, Axel!” Murgan shook his head. If what Leo really assumed right now is exactly what is currently happening up in the surface, then the Class D Alliance would naturally not try and eliminate Leo. Although it may sound like Class S Alliance is in a really advantageous position basing on what Leo had said, he knows that it isn't really entirely like that. Moreover, the strength gap between each class shouldn't be that wide, right? Even to the point that mere leaders can already dictate how the trial competition would develop.

”Unfortunately, we need Leo right now so that we can escape this Labyrinth. But, we can eliminate Axel, Matthew, and Aiden instead, right? Especially since we really need a teacher's help right at this moment!” Ehtelyn suddenly proposes.

”Hehehehe!” Murgan smiled cunningly while looking at Axel, Matthew, and Aiden.

”Um... What Axel just said is a joke guy, just a joke! Please don't take it seriously...” Aiden quickly defended. He just went into too much trouble just to keep his presence in the trial competition, and if he just gets eliminated right now because of Axel's unreasonable response, then he doesn't have any face to show his classmates anymore.

”Yes, yes, please don't take it seriously!” Matthew quickly followed up.

”Oh, he might just be joking, but I'm definitely not!” Ehtelyn showed a beautiful smile on her face as her right hand went to reach for her sword in the left side of her waist, followed along by Tiffany.

”Okay, that's enough! Let's not think of eliminating anyone right now. We need every manpower we have!” Darwin solemnly interrupted.

Hearing everyone's reply, except for Leo and Melthy, Axel and Murgan suddenly began laughing, ”Hahahahaha!”

”We were clearly just trying to lighten up the mood!” Axel explained.

”Yeah, we noticed that a few of you were already feeling really tense and stress, so we thought that we should help you guys remove those kinds of feeling!” Murgan added.

”You both were actually just joking?” Ehtelyn dubiously asked.

”Do you really think we are stupid to fight in a place like this?” Axel rolls his eyes, seemingly stating the obvious.

”And just which part of that was a way to lighten up the mood of everyone?” Darwin rolls his eyes.

”The thought of fighting!” Murgan answered confidently.

”Muscle heads!” Leo can't help but comment.

”I agree!” Ehtelyn.

”I wholeheartedly agree with that!” Tiffany.

”I can't believe Class E- really assigned you as their leader... Seriously, just which part of you think like a leader?” Aiden sarcastically added, which Matthew nodded his head in agreement.

”The same applies to Murgan. Just how stupid are his classmates to even think of making him the leader!” Darwin shook his head. Suddenly,

”Hey guys, I think you should see this scene that I'm currently looking right now...” Melthy suddenly called out in a silent voice towards them.

Everyone's attention was immediately pulled towards Melthy as they quickly began walking closer to her.

As soon as they arrived beside Melthy, what they see immediately rendered them speechless.

Hundreds of men dress in black clothes were currently doing all sorts of different things around a big wide open cave, specifically 500 square meters wide.

Some men were carrying supplies inside the cave, some were patrolling, some were guarding a prisoner's room in an open side, some were carrying all sorts of different tools, and some people were even trying to tame a bunch of Magical Beast Sharks locked inside an aquarium. The aquarium was obviously made out of Magic Glass, one of the types of glass that have the hope in withstanding the power of Magical Beast or anything Magic related.

There is also a big stone tablet in the middle of the cave with a Magic map of the entire Floating Mountain resting on the top and 4 men wearing a mask were currently having a conversation around the table. Curiously though, the Floating Mountain map on the table actually has the drawing of the 4 ravines that mysteriously appeared, and there were actually many more ravines too, that they didn't even know actually existed.

And the most shocking of all, at the southernmost part of the cave, a small black-colored Magical Beast that seemingly looked like a shark with a white as snow wings at its back was put inside a glass aquarium and hang up on the top of the cave's ceiling with lava threatening to reach the glass aquarium underneath.

Suddenly, the iron chain holding the aquarium was lowered down, causing the water inside the aquarium to heat up due to the lava's hotness.

”KYAAAAAAAAAARGGGHHH!!!” The Black Shark immediately screamed very loudly because of the pain of the burning hot seawater.

*Rumble!

The cave suddenly started rumbling, which soon after caused a few stalactites to fall on the ground.

”KYAAAAAAARGHHHH!!”

*Bang! *Bang!

Two unlucky men were unfortunate enough to be squashed by the stalactites.
