Chapter 106 - 105: Right And Wrong

"So, did you guys find anything?" Yuji asked as he looked at the two groups of people who had been sent on their respective missions.

"Should we talk while leaving?" Nora suggested as she looked at everyone. They were actually meeting again after two hours. There had been two classes in between and hence the Academy hours were now over.

And, according to the instructions, clubs weren't allowed to conduct activity after school hours in the current situation.

The group proceeded to leave the place as Spike who was standing on top of Paul's head finally spoked, "We went to her Dorms. But, she didn't come out saying that she had the flu."

Well, that certainly was a poor excuse.

"She didn't say that to me on the phone yesterday." Yuji frowned.

"She is obviously lying." Harry shook his head. His expression looked a bit nasty as he described his experience in Runeko's class.

Nora's expression immediately turned ugly and a chill flashed past her eyes.

"Should I beat them all up?" Biggie asked in anger as he clenched his fist. There was really no barrier between this guy's face and heart. He was always honest with his thoughts.

"Don't do something like that. It will cause unnecessary trouble." Yuji shook his head.

"Then do you want us to sit back without doing anything?" Nora asked with a frown.

"If we do anything to them, it will just be made into a case of bullying. We will have to approach this situation differently." Yuji replied with a frown. He could feel that this bunch of people would definitely end up causing trouble if he didn't teach them about things properly.

"We should first get Runeko out of her Dorm. We can deal with the nasty bunch sooner or later. But, I think it will be better if we can at least make her confident enough to face her fear. I don't like how she is hiding herself like this." Leo muttered with a calm look on his face.

Everyone looked at Leo with an odd look on their faces. From Harry's words, it was obvious that even Leo's sister was in this picture. They wondered what was going through his mind.

[Why didn't you go in there-nya?!!]

[We should have taught that girl a lesson then and there-nya?!!]

[She really disappointed me! I can't believe she has turned into a bully-nya!]

[Once we get home, do as I say-nya.]

'Calm down.' Leo muttered with a sigh inwardly. This guy had really been going hyper since the thing they had witnessed in the class.

[You think I can calm down after that-nya?]

'Just let me handle this situation. I have a feeling that you will make it worse than it already is.'

[Bro, she is my sister-nya.]

'I know, but I can guarantee that I have a better relationship with her than you do.' Leo muttered inwardly.

His response was calm and Aiden definitely couldn't find a single word to retort it. If they began to talk about their relationship with Amelia, then Leo definitely had an advantage. He didn't remember having any fights with her. On the other hand, Aiden couldn't remember anything but fight with her little sister.

The group soon parted their ways.

Leo went in and calmly sat in the car, and after a good while, Amelia finally appeared.

She looked at the door of the car in hesitation. She had actually planned to take a lift from Tristy to avoid Leo, but he already had seen her in the class. Running away wasn't going to work.

Furthermore, she was afraid. He had seen something which she didn't want him to see. It was not what she wanted to do. But…

Amelia didn't know how to explain the situation to him.

It was true that she was with them and they were her friends. But, she didn't like and supported what they did. She didn't have control over them. They just pulled her over. It was not like she was at fault for whatever happened.

Amelia stood near the car, contemplating when the driver noticed her and called out to her.

"Miss, please come inside. We will be late otherwise."

"Uh..yeah.." Amelia forced a smile on her face, and quietly pulled the door open and went inside.

She still didn't dare to look towards her brother.

But, even after a while, he didn't say anything to her. This really made Amelia frown.

'Why isn't he saying anything?'

She felt something was wrong, and turned her head to look at him.

Leo just calmly sat there busy on his smart link. It didn't seem that he had anything he needed to tell anyone.

This somehow left Amelia with a complex feeling.

"Hmmn?" Leo suddenly turned his head towards Amelia feeling her gaze and she immediately became nervous.

"Is something wrong?" He asked, looking at her.

"Umn.." Amelia shook her head with an odd look on her face.

With that Leo just ignored her and concentrated on what he was doing.

….

On returning home, Amelia finally couldn't hold herself, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Leo stopped and turned her head to look at Amelia, "About what?"

"You came into the class.." Amelia muttered in a low voice while clenching her fist.

"Oh, I see. Well, I will let mom talk to you. I think you would listen to her. It's after all, dangerous to be in the Academy with a murderer roaming around."

"No, I am not talking about that," Amelia replied with a frustrated look on her face.

"What is it then?" He asked with a confused look on his face.

"That.." Amelia found herself lacking in words. She didn't know what to say.

Was she supposed to ask why he didn't scold her for doing wrong?

"I.." The more she thought about it, the more complicated she felt. Her brain was telling her that she hadn't done anything wrong, but her heart wasn't following.

"What? Did you do something wrong?" Leo asked with an amused face.

Amelia's face changed when she heard that, "N-No..I..I.."

She didn't know what to say, and her eyes began to tear. In the end, she just dashed into the house leaving Leo behind.

[You sure this is gonna work-nya?]

'I don't know. But, it's worth trying. We have to make her realize what's wrong and what's right. It's one thing if she doesn't raised her voice against the wrong, but it definitely becomes a serious problem when she can't even differentiate between right and wrong. One needs to have a stand on it even if its just an opinion within themselves.' Leo muttered inwardly.

He was only suspicious of it until now, but this conversation had made him sure about Amelia's situation.

She wasn't a girl who would do wrong. It was just that she was forcing herself in believing something to be right which actually wasn't.

It was kind of the same problem Aiden had. He was trying to make him into something which he wasn't. It seemed the problem ran within the family.



"Did something happen?" Viona asked as she looked at Leo. She had just now seen Amelia running straight into her room.

Leo looked at her, and decided to tell her everything that happened. She was their mother, and had every right to know about their situation.

A heavy frown immediately appeared on Viona's face.

"This girl.." She definitely was not happy. Neither did she had ever expected her to be in such bad company.

"Why don't you let me handle the situation?" Leo asked as he looked at her.

Viona looked at Leo, and saw that serious look in his eyes. She couldn't help but contemplate a bit about it. It was after all something very serious, and she definitely felt a need to personally step in and correct her daughter who was going down the wrong way.

"Are you sure you can help her?" Viona asked. She was not sure considering their past. They used to fight each other every time after all.

"Yes, I can." Leo nodded. "But, you might have to help me a bit."

"What do I need to do?" Viona asked with a smile.

….

A bit later..

Lunch was served, and Amelia finally came back from her room.

Aaron was out, apparently having lunch with his girlfriend. The fact was very new to Leo and it was only now did he understood why he didn't find the guy during most lunch times.

Amelia quietly sat down on her chair and as she was about to pick up her spoon, when Viona spoke, "I heard from your brother what happened today."

Amelia turned her head to look at Leo.

'Did he tell her everything?' She immediately became nervous.

"You should have listened to your brother. It can be dangerous at the Academy." Viona looked at her with a serious face. "It will be better if you stay at home until the case is resolved."

Amelia was still waiting for something further, but for some reason, nothing came up.

"Did you tell her what happened in the class as well?" Amelia asked as she looked towards Leo with a complicated look on her face.

"Yes, I did." Leo replied with a nod.

This only made Amelia even more frustrated.

Why was no one scolding her for it then?
