A few hours have already passed. The sun in the sky was now in the middle, indicating that the time is in between 3 to 4 pm.

Inside the boat, everyone was gathered in a cabin with a Magic Map of the entire path from Floating Mountain to the Blue Fin Kingdom on a table in front of them.

"According to the map, we have already crossed the red zone of the Shark Cemetery, now we are entering the dark green zone!" Teacher Homer informed with a grim face.

Everyone immediately understood the reason for such a grim face.

If hunters look at the zone of each wilderness as something like green equals to safe, dark green equals to a little bit safe, red zone equals to dangerous, purple equals to really dangerous, and black equals to death, then they are only half correct.

Every experienced hunter would rather go into the red zone or purple zone of wilderness if they choose to recover from an injury, hide from someone, or something else.

As to why?

Pretty simple, the more dangerous the place was, the lesser Magical Beast occupies, due to the fact that every powerful Magical Beast are territorial and they don\'t want to see weak Magical Beast lying around their territory. This simply means that the hunters are given a lot of places to hide and recover.

On the other hand, the less dangerous the place was, the more Magical Beast occupies, due to the fact that almost every wilderness has a huge population of weak Magical Beast and these weak Magical Beast are all staying in either the green zone or the dark green zone, which simply meant that hunters almost doesn\'t have a place to hide and recover.

Putting that in their current situation right now, entering the dark green zone now pretty much only meant to say that they will be encountering a lot more of Magical Beast Sharks.

To be honest, the Floating Mountain was actually located in between the dark green zone and the red zone. If they choose the dark green zone though, they needed to travel an extra of 30 kilometers, which means they needed 80 kilometers to finally reached the Blue Fin Kingdom, and the red zone is the path that only takes them 50 kilometers.

However, despite given the path to sail in the dark green zone, which was labeled as a little bit safe, they actually still choose to travel in the red zone, simply because there is only a few Magical Beast Sharks powerful enough to live in the red zone, and a majority of those Magical Beast Sharks that live in the red zone too, are actually nocturnal, so they pretty much only becomes active during the night and will choose to sleep while the sun is still up. So, their travel in the red zone was pretty much smooth sailing.

Now that they entered the dark green zone though, it was expected already that they will be facing a lot of Magical Beast Sharks. Though they are weak, zerg tactics are one of the most deadliest tactics for a reason. And weak Magical Beast Sharks are not all nocturnal Magical Beast, almost all of them are active 24/7.

"Prepare yourselves for a battle! But be sure to always remain calm and patient!" Teacher Homer advised.

Because the boat they are riding almost looked like a floating tree, the weak Magical Beast Sharks would always try and come close out of curiosity, unlike the powerful Magical Beast Sharks that would only take a glimpse underneath the ocean and when they deemed it useless for them to bother they just let it continue floating. So, they should not attack immediately after seeing that a weak Magical Beast Shark was approaching, and instead, wait, be patient, and see what would happen next. Attacking first simply means they already blew up their cover, and hence they need to keep on fighting until they finally reached the Blue Fin Kingdom.

"Just 30 more kilometers and we will arrive at Blue Fin Kingdom border!" Axel can\'t help but said.

"30 kilometers of trouble!" Leo added while feeling helpless. Seriously, just how did a trial competition between 1st-year students turn out to become a battle for the fate of Silver Kingdom? He can admit that he was one of the people that had caused this situation to turn out like this since he pretty much caused the Black organization\'s secret operation to be found out by the teachers of Silver Mage Academy. But still, why did he decide to follow this bunch when he can actually just choose to hide.

"Am I perhaps changing?" Leo can\'t help but think to himself. If this was in the past, he would definitely exempt himself from a situation with a 90% chance of dying. Not because he was afraid of dying, it\'s simply because it\'s troublesome.

"Quickly eat your lunch and go back to your position right after!" Teacher Homer said before he walked upstairs towards the boat\'s steering wheel.

The moment teacher Homer left, Axel suddenly broke the silence, "What do you think, guys? Would we be able to reach the Blue Fin Kingdom or would we die in the middle of the ocean?"

"What\'s with that question? You\'re causing the moral of our group to decrease!" Ehtelyn scolded.

"This is called real talk!" Axel defended.

"That\'s called lowering the moral!" Ehtelyn argued back.

"Just which part of that lowers everyone\'s moral?"

"Everything!"

"....."

"I think we will be safe!" Leo replied as he stood up and left the cabin with the little Leviathan. He was curious to what will happen in here the moment teacher Homer left out of worry, but realizing that there was actually nothing to worry about since they were even able to argue like the normal times, he decided to leave and go back to his position, specifically at the bow of the boat.

Arriving in his position, he immediately saw a lot more of Magical Beast Shark\'s dorsal fin or more commonly known as the back fin, simply meaning that a lot of Magical Beast Sharks were currently swimming around the boat right this moment.

Looking at the scene farther ahead, Leo can\'t help recalling Axel\'s question, "With Magical Beast Sharks as many as this, we would definitely be discovered soon..." And it would be during that time where they can finally determine whether they can really live or die.

Suddenly, Leo quickly hid behind the branches of leaves as he noticed a Magical Beast Shark surfacing its head from the ocean. At the same time, he signaled teacher Homer using some leaves to not move straight.

Magical Beast Sharks would definitely try to avoid hitting the boat, since it is still deemed as an object subject for curiosity for all of them. However, it is a different story for those Magical Beast Sharks who had surfaced their heads.

When Magical Beast Sharks surface their heads, they are only going in a straight line, which means they will eventually hit the boat if teacher Homer doesn\'t change the direction of the boat. This might then lead to aggravating the Magical Beast Sharks and hence they might decide to destroy what they thought as a tree floating in the ocean. After that, it would definitely lead to them being discovered.

Even Humans sometimes get annoyed after getting hit by an object, not to mention a Magical Beast, especially since the part that will get hit is their nose, one of the Magical Beast Sharks weakness.

Although hitting the nose is done unintentionally, why would the Magical Beast Sharks even care about that? Not to mention, this was just a tree for them, so they can pretty much do everything they want with it if they really wanted to.

Seeing Leo\'s signal, teacher Homer quickly changed the direction of the boat to avoid hitting that Magical Beast Shark.

Unexpected though, the Magical Beast Shark actually followed after. So, teacher Homer once again changes direction, which was also followed once again by that Magical Beast Shark.

It really seems like they have encountered themselves with one of those unreasonable Magical Beast Shark.

"Hey Levi, what is wrong with that Magical Beast Shark!" Leo turned to look at the little Leviathan flying at his side.

Because this was a little Leviathan, Leo decided to call him Levi, a short term for Leviathan. Also, this little one is actually a boy, so using the name Levi is definitely befitting.

He had also learned a lot about the Leviathans from Levi. Like for example, Leviathans doesn\'t actually have a common or birth environment, so they can pretty much live in either air, land, and water as long as they want to.

Leviathans are indeed created by a God, specifically a God that unfortunately Levi still doesn\'t know about. They were created with the sole purpose of maintaining the balance between all the races and the Magical Beast population.

There were also a few more, but pretty much all of it can be summed up to a few lines; Leviathans has a higher potential to become powerful compare to Mythical Magical Beast.

"That one is in a bad mood!" Levi replied.

"And he decided to release that in this boat?"

"I heard that even Humans do that!"

"Ayst... Seriously, why now?"

"Fate is creating trouble for you guys, I suppose..."

Without wasting any more time, Leo quickly went to teacher Homer to inform him of Levi\'s words.

"We can\'t avoid that one!" Leo said.

"And why is that?" Teacher Homer curiously replied.

"Levi said it\'s in a bad mood!" Leo said as he pointed at the flying Levi up in his side.

"Then we can only kill that one..." Teacher Homer helplessly said. He had really hoped that they were only going to start a fight when they are already close to Blue Fin Kingdom\'s West Fortress border. Unfortunately, just right after he had warned everyone back in the cabin awhile ago to be cautious before attacking any Magical Beast Sharks in order to avoid trouble, it was actually a Magical Beast Shark that tried to look for trouble.

"Hey, Levi, why don\'t we try communicating with that one?" Leo finally thought of a really genius idea. Since Levi\'s parents were once the ruler of Shark Cemetery, which makes Levi the heir, then he might be able to stop that Magical Beast Shark from causing any kind of trouble. And what\'s best, if his idea was indeed feasible, then they might unexpectedly earn themselves a free pass.

"I can try..." Levi replied as he then began communicating with that troublesome Magical Beast Shark.

Leo and teacher Homer looked at that approaching troublesome Magical Beast Shark full of hope.

Fortunately, that troublesome Magical Beast Shark finally changed direction, causing Leo and teacher Homer\'s eyes to lit up in excitement. With this, they can easily cross the dark green zone and green zone easily due to Levi being able to communicate with the Magical Beast Sharks.

"You\'re really a lucky charm, Levi!" Leo excitedly said.

However, Levi seemingly wore a grim expression on his face the moment he turned around to look at them.

"Prepare to leave as fast as possible, that troublesome Magical Beast Shark actually went to report to his boss about my existence. He said that catching me will allow their boss to become much more powerful because my parents would definitely give their boss something in exchange for my life..." Levi said, causing Leo and teacher Homer\'s face to turn ugly.

Leo finally thought of something. With how many years Levi\'s parents had been trapped inside that powerful Magical seal, it was expected already that other powerful Magical Beast Sharks would think of replacing the Rulers. And with how big Shark Cemetery was, it was pretty much expected that it would definitely happen.

"How the mighty has fallen!" Leo can\'t help but comment.

"Yeah..." Levi replied while sadness was obvious in his voice. To be honest, after many years it was actually still his parents who ruled the Shark Cemetery. It was only after almost all of the powerful Magical Beast Sharks who swore loyalty to his parents died from the Black organization\'s secret years of continuous attack did the balance of power between the Magical Beast Sharks living in the Shark Cemetery starts to shake. Pretty much right now, there are only a few more remaining powerful Magical Beast Sharks that are still loyal to his parents, but they are currently hidden. And the rest definitely viewed his parents in an antagonistic way due to the fact that they had caused the once prestigious and feared Shark Cemetery to be looked down upon by other oceanic territories.

"Go and tell the others to prepare!" Teacher Homer quickly ordered Leo.

Leo didn\'t bother replying as he ran with all that he got towards Axel and the others back in the cabin.
