Chapter 151: The Traitor (1/2)

”That was really unexpected!” Axel said to Aiden, obviously trying to make the latter forget who had caused it and also his way of consoling him.

”Zip it, Axel!” Murgan exclaimed as he shook his head to Axel.

It was pretty obvious already just by observing Aiden's face that he doesn't mind it at all. To be more exact, what just happened to him became also his fault, specifically the majority of the fault since teacher Smith is still partly to be blamed after he began that drama of his. Simply put, Viper wouldn't have become annoyed if Aiden didn't mention that perverted drama.

Aiden slowly walked back to teacher Smith's cell as he calmly said, ”Let's not talk anymore, I'm afraid Viper would start becoming suspicious of us. Just do what we will tell you to do, and your students might be able to escape here alive.”

Teacher Smith could only awkwardly nod his head. Everything wouldn't have to turn out like that if only he hadn't suddenly pulled Aiden to the cell, causing Viper to be attracted to the sound.

.....

At the side, Leo can't help but heave a sigh of relief. What happened just now was really a close call. If Aiden wasn't good at acting and adapting, then everyone's life would have been in real danger.

”His indeed a realistic person, capable of seeing the best choice that will benefit everyone amongst all of the choices presented in front, even if that choice involves sacrificing his very own life.” Leo finally agreed with Aiden's self-proclaimed realistic person before.

A realistic person can basically make the most practical and sensible way possible to handle what happened just now, and that was exactly what Aiden just did; sacrifice his very own self. Though it involves a huge risk of actually dying, he still took it with only the hope of not dying.

If the last time Aiden had betrayed his classmates in order to stay in the trial competition, then this time he basically saved everyone here.

This just simply proved to everyone that Aiden is indeed not a hypocrite person, and the reason why he had betrayed Class 1A before was just like what he said a few hours ago; they will get eliminated no matter how long they'll fight, so he might as well just try and negotiate to make one of them stay, and then make that person gather resources for everyone in Class 1A. In such a way, Class 1A couldn't be said to entirely lose the trial competition anymore.

In Leo's opinion, Aiden's character was really suited to become a good Politician or a General, or if he can further improve his capability, then he might even be able to become a capable Ruler of a city like him or a Commander of an army.

”What are you really planning...?” The Black Shark suddenly asked.

”You'll see it soon!” Leo smile mischievously behind the black clothing covering his face.

.....

Meanwhile, Lena was frantically running towards a random direction. To be honest, she really doesn't know where the Silver Mage Academy's camp was supposed to be. So, she just decided to choose a random direction, hoping that she will meet a schoolmate or best a teacher who will notice that an eliminated student is actually back in the trial competition and would then escort her to the camp.

And fortunately, just after a few hours, a teacher finally noticed her. To be more specific, it was teacher Marvin.

”What is an eliminated student doing out here?” Teacher Marvin quickly asked as he blocked the path of Lena.

Looking at teacher Marvin, Lena can't help but suddenly started crying.

”Hey, why are you suddenly crying?” Teacher Marvin started panicking, ”Am I really that intimidating?”

Suddenly, teacher Candice also arrived soon after.

”Hey, did you find teacher Smith and his student?” Teacher Candice asked, but her attention was immediately attracted by the crying Lena, ”What did you do to her?!”

”I didn't do anything!” Teacher Marvin quickly defended, ”I only asked her why a... No! Hey girl, what Class do you belong to?” He suddenly thought of something.

”Cla... class 1A... A+...” Lena replied while trying to wipe her tears off of her eyes.

”Just like what I expected,” Teacher Marvin nodded, ”Tell me, what happened to the rest?”

”Everyone is trapped in the base of the Black organization!” Lena replied.

”Black organization?!” Teacher Marvin and teacher Candice exclaimed in unison.

”Are you sure about this?” Teacher Marvin quickly followed up.

”I'm not entirely sure, but Leo told me that they are the Black organization,” Lena answered.

”Leo!!” Teacher Marvin can't help but feel worried. Leo was his student, and since Lena mentioned him just now, then that simply meant he is in that place right now, and obviously, he is trying to save everyone, just by basing on the fact that he had sent Lena to find them.

”What's wrong, Marvin? Do you know this student called Leo?” Teacher Candice quickly asked after hearing teacher Marvin's reaction.

”Leo is my student!” Teacher Marvin replied, ”What the heck is that brat even doing in a place like that?! He should be focusing all of his attention on winning this trial competition instead of involving himself in this kind of mess!”

To be honest, the Silver Mage Academy already traced everything to the Black organization even before Lena reported to teacher Marvin, though what they only lacked now was a solid proof.
