It was at this moment that Leo finally realized what Angel's purpose of transferring to their classroom was.

Angel was sent by Madam Silva to protect Leo. It was understandable and to be expected since Elizabeth was just around the corner. Anytime was a possibility for Elizabeth to attack him, and if they didn't have any countermeasures prepared, they would surely lose a 'Weapon' that the Sword and Magic wanted to pull to their organization.

"Hey, did the Silver Mage Academy find out?" Leo immediately asked Angel as he was curious about whether he was caught cheating or not.

Based on Teacher Marvin's reaction, he doesn't seem like someone who had caught someone red-handed. It was confusing since he was just doing things just like he usually does. Maybe it was the calm before the storm or something?

However, since Angel was here right now, he raised the question to her to finally clear his confusion.

Angel just stared at him confusingly in response.

"You see, he had congratulated me and Alfred a while ago. So, I thought that maybe the Silver Mage Academy found out..." He quickly explained.

"You can rest assured, even the Second Prince won't be able to find out what's wrong with your points," Angel immediately assured him.

Leo was finally able to breathe in relief after clearing out his confusion. He had thought that he was caught red-handed a while ago.

Also, he finally realized that his panic was unnecessary. He had almost forgotten that Sword and Magic were even more powerful than the Silver Kingdom, hence it shouldn't be easy trying to catch one of their own tails, especially if this tail was leading toward their so-called 'Weapon'.

After finally becoming relaxed, he could finally focus all of his attention on Teacher Marvin's discussion.

At this moment, Teacher Marvin was currently discussing the usage of Mana Stones, different types, sizes, and their importance.

The lesson continued the entire morning, and when noon came the class finally ended and they were dismissed as Teacher Marvin left the classroom.

Just like what Leo expected, all of his classmates immediately crowded around him and Alfred as soon as the class ended to inquire about how they had earned a lot of points, whether they could join their team, etc...

He could not do anything to help them because if he allowed a lot of people to know about his secret, then sooner or later it would be found out by the Silver Mage Academy.

Moreover, everyone here was a Noble. Think about it; if ever they found out about the so-called 'cheat', then a more abusive 'cheat' would surely surface later on. And that's not the end as more people will improve this cheat and expand it to cover a much wider scope all over the Silver Kingdom. The invention of this abusive 'cheat' would in the future deem the purpose of the Academies for setting a competition useless.

He doesn't want to be the sinner that will cause that to happen. So, even if he wanted to help them, he would still choose not to.

Shaking his head, Leo looked out the window and a bold idea appeared in his mind.

All of a sudden, Leo jumped out of the window which was then quickly followed by Alfred and Angel. Their room was only on the second floor, hence jumping down to reach the ground wouldn't pose any significant danger for them. In addition to that, the ground was covered by trees and bushes, which acted as a cushion for their safe landing.

As soon as they landed on the ground, Leo, Alfred, and Angel quickly began running away.

Expectingly, Leo watched as his classmates also started jumping down from the window of their classroom. Obviously, if he can do it, how much more them?

.....

It was only when Leo and Angel reached close to his house did they finally escaped from the relentless pursuit of their classmates.

At present, Leo was only with Angel since Alfred had separated ways with them at the diverge road so that they could divide the group chasing after them.

"By the way, isn't it a bit too much for Madam Silva to send you?" Leo can't help but ask. He was curious why Madam Silva had specifically sent Angel to become his bodyguard. In fact, Madam Silva had a lot of men, just based on last night's confrontation with Elizabeth. So, she could have just chosen one of them to become his bodyguard, right?

"Madam Silva received some intel from his spy in the Snow Noble Household that Elizabeth was caught preparing something big to try and kill you, hence she purposely assigned me to become your bodyguard," Angel explained.

"What plan is that girl even capable of thinking..." Leo wasn't able to finish his sentence when he was suddenly left dumbfounded at the scene currently happening in front of his house.

At this moment, multiple carriages are parked in front of his house while tens of men are moving a lot of unknown black crates inside.

"Who sent you here?!" Angel rushed forward and immediately asked while pulling one of the men in front of her. She was currently putting a dagger in the man's neck to make the unlucky man answer her question seriously.

"Ahh! Miss... We are only a group of ordinary men that was ordered by our employer to bring her luggage inside this house... Miss, please have mercy, I still have a family to feed..." The man tried to quickly respond despite struggling. He was afraid that the woman in front of her would immediately slit his throat if he replies any later.

Hearing that, Angel pulled back her dagger as she confirmed that this group of people were indeed only ordinary workers, specifically from a carrier business.

"Who is the one that hired you?" Leo asked. He wanted to know who was the person that dared to trespass in his house. Based on Angel's action, it was obvious that this wasn't the doing of the Sword and Magic.

"She's currently.... ins... inside the house!" The man replied in fear while pointing inside the house.

Leo and Angel didn't waste any time as they both ran towards the house to look for the person who hired these carriers.

Arriving inside, they spotted more workers bringing the luggage to the second floor, hence they instantly started running to the second floor.

It didn't take long for Leo and Angel to find out who the mastermind behind the mess.

The mastermind was a woman.

But not just any ordinary woman...

It was Elizabeth Snow!

Angel finally realized what the report meant when it said that Elizabeth was preparing something big. Moving all of her belongings to Leo's house was indeed something big.

Letting out a helpless sigh, Angel excused herself as she walked outside of the house, obviously planning to report to Madam Silva the situation happening right now.

Right after Angel left, Leo pulled Elizabeth towards him as he angrily shouted, "What the heck do you think you are doing?!"

Elizabeth smiled cunningly and responded, "Moving to the same house as my future husband! Isn't that a proper manner for your future wife?"

Leo was instantly rendered speechless. Indeed, it's just proper for the Fiancée to move to her Fiancé's house. However, if he indeed allowed such a situation to happen, then he might not be able to sleep peacefully anymore due to always being on constant alert to Elizabeth's plans.

"Does your family even know what you are doing?" Leo said as he let go of Elizabeth while feeling helpless deep inside.

"Don't worry Darling~! They even fully supported my plan!" Elizabeth said with a wink.

Since killing Leo has now become nearly impossible due to him having the support of Madam Silva, hence she thought of changing to a new plan. She was unable to kill Leo secretly because the Sword and Magic were protecting him secretly. But what if she kills him openly? Hence, she plans to stay in the same house as him so that she can attack him openly and easily.

Sword and Magic might be able to prepare for any possible attack on Leo in the dark. But they will surely be unable to defend from any attack that will come just right beside him.

Leo was immediately angered by Elizabeth's wink. He wanted to kill this woman right this instant, but doing so would be stupid since it would also render all of his past efforts useless. He could only walk away out of her chosen room to calm and relax himself.

Arriving outside, Leo coincidentally found Angel carrying some bags out of a carriage from Sword and Magic.

"What are those bags for?" Leo asked curiously.

"Madam Silva said that starting today I will also be living with you," Angel replied, seemingly nonchalant about such a small matter, before getting inside the house to put her luggage inside her room.

"F*ck!" Leo can't help but swear inside his mind.

When he was finally starting to slowly solve the problems he once had and was ready to take the next step of his plan, trouble suddenly came knocking on his door.

As in literally knocking at his house door!
