The Mech Lord

Leo looked at the guy standing in front of him with wide eyes. He hadn't even realized when he had appeared behind him.

"He seems to be an Elite.." Ronnie muttered as he tilted his head around the corner and saw the student guarding the hallway.

"What are you doing?" Leo asked as he looked at the guy.

"Helping you…" Ronnie smiled.

"Do you even know what's going on?" Leo further asked him with an odd look on his face.

"Nope, but it seems interesting," Ronnie replied with a little excited look on his face. It didn't matter whether Leo was right or wrong, but he sure would make things a bit entertaining in the Academy.

Leo could clearly smell trouble from this guy.

But, he didn't have an option here.

"Can you distract that guy?" Leo pointed towards that fellow, and Ronnie patted his chest, "Leave it to me.."

The next moment, he moved ahead and walked out from the corner.

"Hello my friend.." There was a sweet smile on his face as he approached the student guarding the hallway.

"Students aren't allowed here.." The person immediately frowned upon seeing Ronnie pop out of nowhere. This was a restricted area, and only Teachers were allowed here. Of course special situations allowed some students as well.

"Is it? I actually got lost.." Ronnie scratched the back of his head with a silly smile on his face.

The student from the Disciplinary Committee frowned even harder, but his expression eased a bit when he recognized who the guy was, "You can take that path back, I am sure you would get back just fine.."

He pointed the way which headed straight behind him.

"Can you take me there? I am bad with directions."

"Use the GPS in your smart link," The guy replied with an odd look on his face. He felt this guy in front of him was an idiot.

"It's actually broken.." Ronnie gave him helpless smile.

The person stood there contemplating a bit on it. He was asked to stay here and guard. It might not be a good idea to leave. Not to mention, the Committee Head had asked her not to allow anyone to pass through the place as the Instructors were having a very important meeting.

"Hmmn?" The person suddenly looked at Ronnie as he felt a sweet scent wafting his nostrils. The next instant, he felt the scene in front of him changed. Wind brushed past his face as he stood in an open field. Little pink petals of flowers decorated the air as they flew around in the wind.

The scene was breathtaking.

….

"What the hell is he doing?" Leo muttered under his breath as he looked at Ronnie standing in front of that student. The two initially seemed to be engaged in some conversation, but mid way, the guy suddenly froze to his spot.

Suddenly, Ronnie turned towards Leo and beckoned him to come over.

His actions immediately made Leo frown, but to his surprise, the guy in front just stood there with a blank look on his face. It was as if his soul had crossed over to another world.

Leo slowly got out of the corner and breathed in relief when he saw that the guy didn't seem to react to him at all.

"What did you do to him?" He couldn't help, but ask Ronnie in surprise.

"Nothing much." Ronnie shook his head, "Aren't you getting late?"

"Yeah.." Leo's face turned dark, and he immediately took a step ahead, "I will properly thank you some other time.."

"Nah, I already made a fortune thanks to you winning the bout earlier." Ronnie shook his head with a smile on his face.

As Leo disappeared around the corner ahead, Ronnie looked at the guy and he snapped back from his daze.

"What happened?" Ronnie asked him with an innocent look on his face.

"Umn..nothing.." The guy looked at him, but then shook his head. 'I should rest some more. I have been cutting down on sleeping time to increase my training hours. I must have accumulated a lot of stress.'

"It seems you are busy. I will go alone then." Ronnie was now done with his task. So, there was no need for him to waste time here.

"Well, I can walk you to that corner." The guy suddenly spoke, and it surprised Ronnie a bit.

"Are you sure you will be fine?" He asked the guy.

"Well, our Committee Head just went towards the Meeting Hall to inform the Security Staff Leader about the situation. So, it should be fine if I walk you till there. She should be returning by the time I make it back. So, even if somebody passes, they would end up stumbling upon her."

The moment Ronnie heard that, his eyes widened and he turned his head to look towards the path Leo went in, 'He was a good guy..a pity..'

He shook his head with a sigh, but there was nothing he could do here.

….

'Why is this hallway so long?' Leo cursed inwardly, as he ran at his full speed.

"Just as he was about to turn around the corner, a leg came aiming straight for his head."

The ambush indeed surprised him. But, the fact that he himself was very proficient in Kicking Techniques, Leo immediately saw through the flaws in the attack and immediately dodged the attack. He then took a small leap, and backed away before having a clear look at the person ahead.

It was a girl with blue hair.

She was the Head of the Disciplinary Committee, Doris Lionel.

There was a cold look in her eyes.

She was a beauty no less than Christina, but Leo didn't have his eyes on her. His eyes only were on the door which had the words Meeting Hall above it.

It was right at the end of this hallway.

But, the girl obviously stood there blocking his path.

'Scan her, Arthur..'

Within a second, her information was right in front of Leo.

Name: [????]

Lv 17: [Elite]

Rank Skill: [???]

Race: [Glorian]

Comprehensive Body Assessment: [E+]

Leo's eyes immediately went wide on seeing her stats. That sure was something he wasn't prepared for. He was really doomed.

But the door was just right there.

"I don't mean any har-" Leo thought about talking this out with her. But to his surprise, he wasn't even allowed to speak. The girl immediately moved to strike him.

Leo immediately turned around, and dodged the attack.

His face turned ugly when the girl's attacks began to push him back, and he was brought all together on a different route.

'I can't let this continue..' Leo knew that he had to do something. Suddenly, his eyes landed on the thing above. It was a fire sensor. Once it detected smoke, shower heads would pop out from the ceiling and drenched the place in water.

He looked at the girl who hadn't spoken a word, and was just trying to push him towards this certain direction. It seemed that she wanted to bring Leo away from the Meeting Hall, and then apprehend him. It was all because she didn't want to cause a commotion there and disturb the Instructor's who were busy with something important.

'This guy seems familiar..' She muttered inwardly, and the next instant her eyes went wide when she realized it was Aiden.

Leo didn't know why her movement slowed down for a bit, but he took advantage of this chance.

Lightning sizzled around his body, and the next instant, smoke alarms were triggered.

"Shh!!"

Water began to pour out of the shower heads above, and in a matter of seconds, both Leo and Doris were drenched from head to toe.

"Crackle!"

Leo let out all his remaining Arora energy in an attempt to take down the girl. And, lighting immediately went rampaging in the hallway. The water on the floor only added to it, and helped Leo.

Doris's face contorted in pain as her body shook, and she was brought down onto her knees. Her face had turned a bit dark and a burning smell came from her hair. A moment of carelessness had ended her up in such a state.

'Did it work?' Leo looked at the girl, and his body went cold when he saw Doris raise her head with a murderous look in her eyes. She was pissed now.

[You should have surrendered the moment you met her. Pissing her is the worst thing one can do in their life-nya.] Aiden's voice rang in Leo's mind.

'Y-You!! Why didn't you say it earlier?!!'

[I am not free here-nya!] Aiden retorted and that was the last thing Leo heard from him before he saw Doris's raging figure appeared before him in a flash.

'Sh*t..'

…

Aiden shook his little kitty head as he heard Leo curse which was soon followed by a painful scream.

'Now that he is down. I am the only one who can get the job done-nya.' He muttered inwardly before beginning to walk ahead. There was a smart link wrapped around his neck as he sneakily moved ahead through the vents.

"Finally-nya..." He muttered with a serious look on his cute little face and looked below through the opening in the vent to see the group of Instructors busy in discussion.
