The Mech Lord

"It seems the rumours were true?"

A voice entered Leo's ear, and he turned around to see Quinton walk into the class with a few other students. These not only included the students of his own section but others as well.

A few students who could be considered to be at the top of their classes seemed to have come as well. They were most likely here to find more about the situation. It seemed the attacks that had occurred were no longer a secret to anyone.

The students of Class F immediately glared at Quinton the moment he entered the room. But, the one who was in the lead was Rebecca.

No one dared to do anything with her leading the group. It was most likely that people had just allowed her to walk forward, rather than her leading all of them here.

"What's going on?" Rebecca looked at Leo, who seemed to be the person in the lead. At least that is how it appeared.

And, when everyone in the class turned their heads to look at Leo for the answer, it was made clear whom the class looked up as their leader, at least in Billy's absence.

This really surprised quite a few people. After all, Leo was still a Yellow ranker, and there were quite a few people stronger than him in the class. It didn't make sense for him to be the leading figure unless they brought his father into the equation.

But, no one was going to touch this topic here.

Leo looked at Rebecca. It seemed that she had gotten over the things in the days he hadn't seen her. It was good for her.

"The students were attacked on their way towards the Academy." Leo calmly explained the entire situation to her.

"How is this possible?" Rebecca frowned. If it was all true, then it was indeed a big matter. If the streets couldn't even be safe for military students, then what about others?

"It's their doing!!" A student finally couldn't seem to endure it any longer, and pointed at Quinton blaming him for all of this.

"Me? What proof do you have? Just because we had a little fight, doesn't mean that I will go and break the laws of our nation." Quinton snorted at him.

And, his words really made sense.

Not to mention, this definitely wasn't something a group of students were capable of doing on their own.

But, all of Leo's classmate knew that it was these Class C b*stards. They had recognized a few of these people's faces after all. But, they had no evidence to prove it. It happened in such a manner that most didn't have time to think about collecting some evidence.

"Where is your leader by the way? I am sure, this person is just an underling." Quintont looked at Leo disdainfully. His words made quite a few people frown. Even though it wasn't time to be fighting between themselves, people were aware about the situation between the two classes.

Quinton seemed to notice the situation, and corrected himself, "I mean, what could we possibly gain from talking to someone like him?"

"I think we should talk to the Dean. This isn't just a matter about a single class, but the student body as a whole." Rebecca stated, and most of the people agreed with it.

"There isn't a need to talk about any of it.." A voice rang in the classroom as Billy walked in.

It didn't seem he was injured, and a frown immediately appeared on Quinton's face on seeing him perfectly fine.

"Surprised?" Billy asked Quinton with a smile, and everybody's gaze turned towards him.

"What do you mean?" Quinton asked with a frown.

"It's turning interesting.." Ronnie, who was looking at the scene from the hallway, smiled a little excitedly.

"What is there to feel excited about?" Duke snorted. He wasn't happy about being dragged here.

"Come on, do you always need to act like that? You clearly wanted to come yet you sent a different guy to collect information about the situation."

"Shut up…" Duke gave him a look, and Ronnie shut his mouth up.

On the other side, Quinton and Billy still stood in front of each other.

"Don't try to frame me without any evidence.." Quinton glared at him.

"Evidence.." Billy smiled, "You better pray that I don't find any, otherwise, you will definitely be packing your things to leave.."

Billy then turned around, and spoke in a loud voice, "The people responsible for this are the students of Golden Crown Academy. And, I am sure they are not alone in this.." He snorted before giving Quinton a look. And, everybody understood what was going on.

Golden Crown Academy as one could guess from its name. It was the institute set up by the Royal Family.

But, the Royal family from the last two generations had started to shift its attention from Golden Crown Academy towards the Glory Academy. The reasons were not known, but one thing which was common knowledge was that this Academy was even more ortrhodox then Glory Academy.

In the Glory Academy at least there were rules, even though people didn't use it or cared for it.

But, in the Golden Crown Academy, even those weren't present. It was literally a battlefield.

It would not be a surprise if the students of the two Academy clashed. It had happened in the past as well.

Glory Academy was considered the best in Gloria and one of the top in the Universe as well. Because of this, the Golden Crown Academy had lost its shine. This led to a clash between the two for deciding superiority.

What they had done was obviously against the rule, and as long as evidence appeared, they would surely be finding themselves in trouble.

But, it was not as easy as it seemed.

First of all, if they didn't take the challenge head on, they will be labelled as cowards. And, this might even shake their position. Secondly, it was obvious that the students didn't have enough courage to plan an attack like this on their own.

"Tsk! It's the Golden Crown Students and you want to pin the blame on me as well!" Quiton was furious at Billy.

"Keep acting, I would like to see how much time it takes for me to tear this fake face of yours." Billy was pissed this time.

"What do we do? Do we let them go like this?" The leader of Section D asked as he looked at everyone. This person had a huge body with a big shell on his back, and his skin was covered in scales. Leo had no idea what this turtle-like creature actually was.

"I am not a fan of backing down from challenges." The Vice leader of Class A spoke with a smile. It was a savage looking guy, his personality and aura was completely different from Duke.

He was from Asura Race.

One of a race whose mere name could cause people to shake in fear.

They were counted among the top races like Glorians.

"I don't know what you people want to do. But, this is my nation. And, I won't tolerate such lawlessness.." Rebecca announce and everyone turned silent.

Her words of resorting to authority to solve the problem wasn't looked down on by anyone. After all, she was the Princess. Ignoring the authority was equivalent to slapping her face. She would obviously retort with legal means to get back at them.

'If I were to say the same thing, how do you think people would react?' Leo helplessly asked internally.

[They would have eaten you alive if I exaggerate it a bit-nya.] Aiden truthfully replied. Other races may not consider pride and culture with much importance. But, for Gloria, it was even more important than their own life.

"Instructors are arriving!" Someone shouted in the hallway.

The students looked at each other wondering what to do.

"Since we didn't come to any decision, I would act as I see fit.." The Asura guy from Class A took the lead, "Class A will deal with this matter on their own. Let's go.."

"Well, I am not in a hurry to make any move.." The person from Class D took his leave as well, followed by Class E who didn't make their stance clear.

Quinton looked at Billy and snorted, "We are not cowards, we will fight.."

With that he left behind only Rebecca. She was alone here, and Serina wasn't around her for some reason.

"Report it to the Instructor, since you people were the one to come in contact with them. Or I will bring the matter up, and you will be called regardless." She looked at Billy, who just gave her a nod.

And, soon the crowd had disappeared before the Instructors could arrive.

"Come with me for a second.." Billy looked at Leo, and then walked out of the classroom.

Once they reached a deserted hallway, Billy's figure suddenly swayed, and Leo immediately hurried to catch him.

"Y-You are injured!" Leo looked at him in disbelief as sweat dripped down Billy's face, as he tried to hold himself onto his feet.
