The Mech Lord

Chapter 105 - 104: A Group Of Bullies



"Why am I coming together?" Harry looked at Leo as the two walked through the hallway.

"Because it's dangerous to be alone," Leo replied calmly.

They were currently headed to the classroom of the first years. It was to meet with Amelia, if she was there. Leo just hoped that she wasn't, otherwise, Aiden would surely go crazy in anger because of the rebellious girl.

"It really feels strange.." Harry suddenly mumbled while looking around.

It was unusually quiet today, and even the surroundings looked quite empty. Most of the students seemed to be staying in their classes as well.

"Well, it was kind of expected.." Leo replied with a shake of his head. People weren't fools after all. Someone who killed under the Academy's strict watch was definitely not easy to deal with. The students who realized this would definitely be acting with caution.

"I heard that Duke is absent by the way.." Harry muttered with a meaningful smile. It was obvious what he was trying to get at.

What Leo did to that guy the previous day seemed to have affected him. It seemed he thought it was better not to come to the Academy then coming like that.

[That certainly makes me happy. But, that guy is a vengeful person, he wouldn't let go of that easily-nya.] Aiden sighed.

"To be honest, I though it was him that had murdered someone after losing himself in rage until I met the librarian." Harry shook his head with laughter.

"That certainly isn't funny." Leo looked at him with a frown. That didn't sound funny to him at all. After all, that would mean that he was kind of responsible for making a murderer. Leo certainly wouldn't be able to laugh at that.

"We are here."

The two finally reached the classes.

Leo was about to go ahead when Aiden stopped him.

[Let Harry go first, if that girl even catches the slightest glimpse of you, she will hide-nya.]

Aiden really seemed to be aware about all of Amelia's bad habits.

In the end, he did as asked and pushed Harry in.

"Wasn't it fun that day?"

"Yeah, sure it was.."

Amelia was sitting in the middle row at one side of the class, chatting with her friends.

"Hey, I was pushed down one rank by some guy.." The fat guy in the group suddenly said with a frown when he saw that his ranking had fallen down.

"Just get the points later, Gother." Jason looked at the guy.

"Tsk..it hurts seeing my ranking fall. Let me just grab some points real quick.." Gother got up, and then began to turn his head around. "Tsk...there is not a single nice fellow here…that girl is absent as well."

"Hmmn.." His eyes sparkled as he seemed to have finally chosen a target. He then simply walked up to the person and slapped his head from behind.

"Who the-'' The person was obviously enraged, but as soon as he turned around, his mouth immediately shut tight.

"What the hell were you going to do hairy b*stard?!" Gother looked at the guy who seemed to be a Minotaur with the boy of a dog.

"..."

"Why are you not barking now?" He further asked while looking at him.

"Tsk..just shake your tail and transfer some points to me if you aren't going to do anything."

The person's eyes immediately turned red, and he clenched his fist. But, looking at the group of the fat guy's friends who were all the bullies of the class, he could only lay low.

He just came from a humble background, and didn't have any significant backing compared to these people.

"This guy will never change." Jason laughed looking at the scene from his seat.

"Does he have some kind of fetish? He only targets people with animal-like traits." Another guy said with a laugh.

Tristy on the other hand just calmly looked at the situation.

"Do you have enough points Amelia? Or should we collect some today?" Jason asked as he looked at Amelia.

"Uh..I think I have more than enough from the start of the month.." She shook her head with a complicated look on her face.

"Why don't you just say you don't like it?" Tristy muttered as she looked at Amelia. She could see that Amelia wasn't the kind to like this kind of stuff. But, for some reason, she always ended up going along with their flow.

"Hey, don't teach her wrong things, Tristy." Jason suddenly intervened as he looked at the two.

"Besides, do you really think what we are doing is wrong? If it really is wrong, the Instructors would have stopped us long ago."

"Not to mention, people should be prepared for everything when they enter this line of work."

"And, if you ask me, this is nothing but a good strategy. Don't you think so too, Amelia?" He asked, looking at her.

The girl forced a smile on her face, and her answer just remained vague.

She was very different from the gangster that she was back at home with Leo.

At this moment, a person entered the classroom.

It was Harry.

His face kind of looked a bit nasty as he had been pushed into the class to find a person and bring her out if possible.

"Who is this guy? Looks like a second year.." Jason calmly muttered as he looked at the person.

Suddenly, the person turned his head towards them and Amelia felt their gazes met.

'Do I know him?' Amelia muttered inwardly, seeing the person smile, and walk towards them.

"I recognize him." A smile suddenly appeared on Jason's face. "It's the cat girl's clubmate."

The other people's expressions changed into an amused one.

They had surely heard of the girl being some kind of dubious club.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" Harry awkwardly asked Amelia while feeling the gazes of the whole class on him.

"Me?" Amelia was taken back. She sure hadn't seen that coming.

"What do you need her for?" Jason asked as he looked at Harry.

"Nothing much, I just need to ask her something." Harry replied to him.

"Do it here."

A frown immediately appeared on Harry's face.

This guy was sure annoying.

"I am talking to her. Can you please let her answer for herself?" Harry was calm. After all, he was with the girl's brother. It was not like he was hitting on her.

"It's fine, I don't mind." Amelia stood up not wanting to make an issue out of this. It would be bad if something bad happened and reached her brother's ear.

"How can you just go with him? Don't you know it's dangerous? What if he is the murderer roaming around?" Jason looked at Harry with a frown on his face.

Harry's face twitched. He sure wasn't here for this.

"What's going on?" Gother walked up from behind as he was done with his job ahead.

"He is the cat girl's clubmate," A guy from the back seat said with a laugh.

A frown immediately appeared on Harry's face when he heard that while Gother immediately got excited on hearing that, "Why isn't that girl coming these days?"

"She isn't even picking my calls. Did something happen to her? Tell us, we all are worried." He asked with a big smile on his face.

It definitely didn't resemble the face of a concerned friend.

"Liar! Isn't it because of you that she is not coming anymore.." A guy said with a laugh, and others also couldn't help themselves with it.

"Bullsh*t! She is my best friend, don't you see how I pet her like my own cat." Gother retorted in anger.

"That's sexual harrasment.." Another one from the back shouted.

"It is mutual!" Gother glared at the group in the back who were his friends as well. He then looked at Harry with a smile, "Don't listen to them. They are just kidding. Us two are good friends and we enjoy each other's company."

Harry stood there in silence, he then looked at Amelia standing there quietly. He was disappointed. Leo's sister, Edgar's daughter…he didn't even feel like wasting his precious words on her.

As for the fat guy..

He slowly turned his head, and took a step closer to him.

"Be careful, the Academy is dangerous these days. And, I feel like you are going to be the next victim."

Gother looked at Harry with a frown on his face. That sure wasn't something pleasing to his ears.

He was about to say something. But, Harry didn't seem to have any more patience left. He immediately began to walk away afraid that he might do something that he shouldn't.

Amelia followed Harry's figure with a complicated look on her face, and her figure froze when she noticed a person standing by the door.

It was her brother, Aiden.

"Let's go, we have a general idea on what's going on.." Harry muttered with a dark look on his face.

Leo turned around as well and left without giving Amelia another glance.
