Leo quietly left the ss 1S- to do something much more important.
Teacher Marvin had said before, "Each student of the ss is worth 100 points and that the base is worth 1,000 points."
That then made Leo think, "Why don''t I just go and eliminate those students first?"
Immediately, Leo thought of a n; he would go and hunt students rather than hunt nexus. He could in fact just proceed immediately with meeting up with either Carlos or Justine''s group, however, by doing that he would then be sharing to them their supposedly ss 1S- points.
He doesn''t want that! His goal was to im first ce, so in order for him to do that, he needed to earn more points first.
Teacher Marvin had also said to them before that the points are what decides the winner for this trialpetition. So, even if they can''t be thest ss remaining alive on this ind, they could still win if they have the most amount of points!
Eliminating nexus is one of those sources of points, and in fact, he can earn more by doing so. However, he doesn''t have the capability to do that since not everyone was weak.
"Not everyone is weak, indeed. But, that doesn''t mean he can''t make them weak, right?"
Eliminating them one by one!
That is Leo''s exact n!
He would go and hunt for those students of other ss first, weaken them bit by bit until he would finally target their nexus.
Moreover, by doing that, he can also im all the points for the ss 1S-. After all, eliminating the base first doesn''t literally mean that he had already eliminated everyone from that eliminated nexus and im all the points.
Eliminating a base basically meant that the remaining students of that eliminated ss can run around the ce, which also meant that he would be giving other ss those points.
If Leo starts eliminating the students first before the base though, then he would have the total points earned base from the number of students from that eliminated ss plus the nexus points. Simply put, if a ss has 20 students, then sessfully eliminating all the students would earn him 2,000 points plus 1,000 points from destroying their nexus.
Moreover, by starting to eliminate every ss at the early phase of the trialpetition, he could also finish this trialpetition quickly.
The longer thepetition, the more points each remaining ss would earn, and the more points a ss earns, the more careful they would be, and the more careful they would be, the more prepared they are for any kind of attack.
Simply put, by then it would be hard for him to earn points.
This also meant the more points he earned in the beginning, the harder it is for other sses to overtake their position. The harder it takes to overtake their position, the highly likely for them to win the trialpetition!
Moreover, the faster the trialpetition finishes, the lesser the unknown variables can take ce!
Even though his n almost sounds perfect, there are still some unknown variables that he should always take into consideration.
Those unknown variables were exactly what he should be wary about. And he was sure that those unknown variables would likely be caused by either the three ss 1E''s or the other two ss 1S''s... Unless of course if a dark horse amongst the other ss suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Although the two ss 1S''s were currently his allies right now, he would still be eliminating them in thetter part of the trialpetition, since every point would count at that moment, and hence every alliance would be broken by that time.
It would be at that time that the two ss 1S''s would be able to cause some unknown variables.
On the other hand, the three ss 1E''s have a lot of Monsters, so assuming them as unknown variables is only natural.
.....
Moving around from one tree to another, Leo finally spotted two students from an unknown ss. The two students are obviously tasked to collect food and resources for their ss, just like what he had tasked to his ss 1S-.
"Ayst, why are we even assigned in the logistics?" One of the students eximed in annoyance.
"Yeah, our Leader already knew about our capability, yet he still put us in the logistics instead of the main force!" The other one agreed.
"That''s because you guys are not yet experienced!" Leo suddenly appeared in front of them as he points two of his hidden dagger to the two students'' necks, "Go and activate your armguard!"
The two students stared in shock, but they were quickly able to calm themselves down.
"Ha! As if we can''t jump away from..."
"Go and try!" Leo interrupted with a mischievous smile on his face.
The two quickly tried to jump backward but a rock had unknowingly formed around them, blocking all of their path of escape.
The rock that blocked the two student''s path of retreat was obviously the doing of Leo''s Earth Elemental, currently in an ant form hiding in his pocket, Earth Maniption.
Leo could only turn his Earth Elemental into an ant form in order for it to escape the eyes of the teachers. Moreover, the Earth Elemental in an ant formed was also well hidden in a hidden pocket on his clothes, in order to further hide it. He needs to be extra careful right now.
To be honest, he can actually turn the Earth Elemental into a Golem. But since he was in a rush, he didn''t bother to do so yet.
"Activate it before I force you to do so!" Leo said as his eyes turned cold.
"Okay..."
The two could only agree helplessly. If this trialpetition was a realbat, then they would have long died from Leo''s ambush.
*Whoosh! *Whoosh!
Both students were immediately covered by a blue-colored shield, and soon after a teacher quickly came down and took them away from the trialpetition.
"200 points..." Leo whispered to himself as he quickly chooses the direction of where the two students hade from. He was sure that their other ssmates would be found around there.
Just like what Leo expected, he found another group of students, specifically 3 students. They were currently carrying a basket full of fruits and some other edible food. One student was even carrying 2 rabbits.
Leo''s eyes shone brightly as he can''t help but feel excited. These 3 students are really the perfect target since they can''t move that fast or even attack due to them carrying a load of stuff with them.
Without wasting any more seconds, Leo sneakily went closer to them as he ordered his Earth Elemental to block their front, left, and right with its Earth Maniption.
*Schiiz!
*ng! *ng! *ng!
*Whoosh! *Whoosh! *Whoosh!
Without them being able to react, Leo had already attacked them, specifically in their Magic Tool, Blue Shield, as that was what the teacher that went to fetch the two students from before told him about.
He actually doesn''t need to threaten them or force them to use the Blue Shield, but just my simply attacking the Magic Tool itself, he could immediately eliminate them.
"300 points!" Leo whispered to himself as he quickly went straight towards where the 3 students were going to.
Leo finally realized that the students he had been hunting before were part of ss 1B just by basing on where they were going to. Due to the location of ss 1B and ss 1C, he wasn''t able to conclude whether those students he had eliminated before were really part of the former or thetter. Only now when he sees that he was moving straight towards the base of ss 1B did he finally confirmed everything.
"Base on what Carlos had said before, ss 1B has 30 students, so I already caused them to only have 25 students now!" Leo can''t help but chuckle.
After a while, Leo finally arrived close to their base. He was hiding in a bush nearby, observing 16 students moving around the ce while doing their respective tasks.
"There are still 9 students who haven''t returned..."
Looking closely, Leo suddenly thought of an idea as he then walked back towards a corner.
