    At this moment, Leo is currently walking on the path leading to ss 1S. However, he suddenly found a ravine blocking his path.


    Suspiciously though, there was actually no information of such a ravine on the map when he looked at the map before. In fact, after he observes the ravine he realized soon after that this ravine has actually just appeared not that long before, just by basing on the soil around the ravine.


    "Did the teacher caused this?" Leo can''t help but asked himself. However, he quickly shook his head to dismiss such a thought.


    "The teachers wouldn''t cause this since they themselves had made the very important rule not to cause major destruction in Floating Mountain!"


    Indeed, the teachers had specifically reminded them not to cause so much damage while they''re in Floating Mountain, so it''s absolutely impossible that they would do this. Even if the teachers wanted the trialpetition to be much more intense, that is still not enough reason to create such ravines.


    Crouching, a bit, Leo looked deeper in the ravine, and soon after he found plenty of the same holes he had found in the slopes when he arrived in Floating Mountain and behind their base.


    Suddenly though, Leo saw something passing through the hole really fast. He wasn''t able to clearly see it, but he was sure that it''s a Magical Beast.


    "So Magical Beast caused those holes, for what purpose, though?"


    He really wanted to further investigate these ravines. If these Magical Beast are using these holes, or perhaps it''s much appropriate to call them tunnels, then it''s surely for a purpose, right?


    That purpose is still unknown to him, but it has surely made him suspicious and curious about it.


    However, since there is not enough evidence to further investigate, then he could only abandon it and instead look for a way to detour this ravine.


    Because of the existence of this ravine here, Leo wouldn''t be able to use the same path he had drawn in the map before, and hence it''s either he would go down south, which is nearby the ss 1A+ territory, or go up north, which he doesn''t know whether the ravine would end around the ss 1D- or the ss 1E territory. Hopefully, thetter choice would lead him to ss 1D-, since ss 1E is still something unknown for him, so he doesn''t know yet whether he could really casually walk nearby their territory or not.


    Moreover, going to the north would also cause him a lot of trouble, since he would then have to walk more kilometers south in order for him to finally arrived at the ss 1S base.


    "I should go down south, then!"


    Leo began walking towards the south, carefully and full of alert.


    The path he had drawn in the map before was already nearby the ss 1A+ territory, and hence he was sure that he would find one of them soon.


    Just like what he had expected, Leo eventually meets a group from ss 1A+. The group of students was currently standing near the ravine, full of curiosity and suspicion in their eyes. Obviously, they also felt the same way as him since this ravine wasn''t on the map before.


    At the side, Leo didn''t move as he just kept on observing them. It''s much better to wait until they leave, rather than eliminating them right now and leaving the ce soon after.


    Though he wanted to also do that, but that would surely cause suspicion, right?


    Moreover, ss 1A+ already knew that he had already eliminated ss 1B, and with the situation up the north where the three ss 1C''s made a rock wall to block the other ss from essing the northeast area of Floating Mountain, then he would surely either target ss 1A+ or ss 1B+ next. So, the moment one of the ss 1A+ students got eliminated, they would easily be able to arrive in the conclusion that Leo is nearby and that the target is ss 1A+.


    In such a situation, the ss 1A+ would surely send one or two of their Monsters to distract Leo or maybe none and just let Leoe in their base. Afterward, while Leo is trying to eliminate ss 1A+ some of their other ssmates would also try to eliminate ss 1S-. To be honest, aside from Leo, the other students that the ss 1A+ should worry about was only Angel as the others, even Alfred in the list of Monsters, weren''t of that much important, which is in fact true.


    That''s why Leo can''t afford to let his presence be known. If the ss 1A+ knew that he was missing, then they would surely try to attack ss 1S-.


    Although he could actually just return and help ss 1S- in such a case, that would in turn just make his efforts of going here for nothing. On the other hand, in such a case that he continued fighting, then the ss 1A+ would just simply decide to bring down ss 1S- with them, which in turn makes all of his ns into a failure.


    After a while, the group of students from ss 1A+ finally left, obviously to report their findings to their leader.


    After watching them leave, Leo didn''t waste any more time as he went pass by them.


    ...


    After a few hours, Leo finally arrived at ss 1S. Justine and Dn greeted him as they went to tell him about their discoveries.


    It was at that moment that he shockingly found out that the ravine he had found awhile ago wasn''t the only one that existed. There is actually more. In fact, ss 1S meet with some other ss and didn''t engage in the fight as they only went to inform and inquire about the unknown ravines.


    One was found in the north of ss 1A- and ss 1D-, the other one was also found on the east side of the ss 1A and ss 1D+, andstly, another ravine was found by ss 1E in their east side. The situation now then turned out that ss 1E is actually in the middle between these four ravines.


    "We already asked for the teacher''s assistance and the ss 1E is also transferred up the northeast side," Justine showed a map as he pointed the specific location, "here!"


    "So you this might mean that the three ss 1C''s n has the potential risk to backfire to them, right?" Leo quickly understood the direness of the northeast situation.


    In the beginning, with the wall that had blocked the northeast side from the rest of the other ss, the three ss 1C''s would have been able to easily wipe out ss 1D, ss 1B, and ss 1S+, since the three 1C''s could easily work together, and at the same time too, they can also restrict the other alliance in sending reinforcements to their allies.


    However, with the addition of ss 1E on the northeast side of Floating Mountain, specifically, a ss deemed as one of the best, then the three ss 1C''s n has the potential of backfiring to them as they won''t be able to easily escape anymore.


    "Yes, but this also means that ss 1S+ would be eliminated if we can''t help them as soon as possible!" Justine replied helplessly.


    "So your arrival now is a really good timing!" Dn can''t help but let out a chuckle.


    Leo also felt amused about his timing. If he didn''te here, then wouldn''t have found out about the new changes. However, what he was really curious about were the four ravines.


    "Rather than worry about ss 1S+, we should worry more about those four ravines!" Leo shook his head.


    "Why? Isn''t it only natural for such ravines to appear, since Floating Mountain is in the middle of Shark Cemetery, hence its soil would soften overtime which would eventually lead to the creation of those ravines!" Justine quickly exined that such a phenomenon is normal.


    "That might be the case if its a natural made ravine, but just a moment ago I saw a Magical Beast using the ravines to go into another location." Leo disapproved.


    "You meant..." Dn finally realized something.


    "Magical Beast might be nning something unknown!" Leo finally revealed his finding.


    To be honest, he really wasn''t going to think about such an idea. In fact, he had even thought the same way as Justine since it''s the most reasonable reason, or rather the most logical way to exin the phenomenon behind the sudden formation of the ravines.


    However, since he saw those tunnels inside the ravines and those around the slopes at the edge of the Floating Mountain, hence he became absolutely sure that Magical Beast is nning something unknown right now.


    "Then we should report this to the teachers!" Justine eximed. If Leo''s guess is indeed correct, then every one of them right now is not safe and might potentially die. They should evacuate as soon as possible.


    "Let''s eliminate ss 1A+ first in the process!" Leo proposed. Actually, the only way to report to the teachers is by eliminating a student from the trialpetition. So, if they wanted to report their findings, then they might as well just eliminate ss 1A+ in the process, right?


    "Okay!" Justine and Dn nodded.. They also understood the reason behind Leo''s decision.
