Chapter 121 - 120: A Violent Student

"You sure you wanna do this?" Serina asked Rebecca with an odd look on her face. They were currently headed towards the Infirmary to check on Leo. Ronnie had taken the lead and was walking ahead with huge strides.

"I am fine." Rebecca smiled at her. She knew Serina was concerned about her. It was all due to what had happened between her and Aiden.

Soon, the group arrived near the infirmary.

Ronnie entered the room without any care, but Rebecca's body seemed to slow down a bit. It seemed her words weren't entirely true, but she definitely had the will to make them into one.

Hence, she entered the room with Serina on her side.

They could see Leo being treated by the Doctor.

A smile immediately leaked out on Ronnie's face, and he opened his mouth, "Cong-"

He hadn't even completed his words when Serina and Rebecca felt a dangerous presence rushing from behind. They weren't prepared for this sudden situation, but luckily, they didn't seem to be blocking that figure's path.

"Bang!"

"Get out of my way!!" A little roar rang throughout the room as a small ball zoomed past between Serina and Rbecca's head, and crashed into the back of Ronnie's head.

Ronnie had no idea what had hit him, but he went flying through one end of the room towards the other before crashing into the wall.

"Crash!"

Everybody was immediately taken back by the scene, and stared at the little figure who was panting heavily on the floor.

'A hedgehog?' Everyone had the same thought in their head.

…

Leo looked at Spike with wide eyes, and then turned his head to look at Ronnie in the distance.

'Did this guy just kick someone flying through the room to block his path?' His attention which should have been on the new guests was completely taken away by this incident, and he was now left speechless.

"What are you doing?" He asked the little guy with a frown.

"I don't know. Harry asked me to inform you of something. For some reason, my instincts told me to be as quick as I could be. So, I kind of lost my control.." Spike forced a smile on his little face.

"What did he say?"

Spike's face immediately turned serious on hearing that, "He told me to inform you that it was Runeko.."

Leo's eyes widened as he abruptly stood up.

He clearly understood what it meant.

But, the people in the room were all left confused at the chaotic situation.

'Is he serious?' Leo frowned, and immediately opened his smart link to contact Harry.

But, the next moment, his face froze when he saw the message from the guy.

<It's Runeko..>

<I hacked into her smart link and found some concrete hints..>

<And, I saw her last messages with your sister. She seemed to have called her towards the Dorms…>

"What is goi-" Spike had barely completed his question when Leo dashed out of the room like a storm.

Everyone turned their heads towards the door, but he was gone.

Rebecca could only raise her hand trying to ask if everything was alright, but Leo didn't even give her a glance.

"Oh my...can anyone tell me what's going on?" Ronnie's voice rang in the room as he slowly got up while stretching his neck. He then smiled, "I smell some interesting drama.."

Spike suddenly became everyone's center of attention, but he wasn't even aware of the truth himself.

…

'What to do now?' Leo gritted his teeth as he ignored the pain shooting through his body, and dashed down the hallway.

[Contact Aaron! He should be in Academy-nya!] Aiden suggested in a grim tone.

'That thing is immortal. If the Librarian was right, we need someone with a 'Will' if we want to kill that thing,' Leo replied with a nasty look on his face.

If he asked Aaron, then it was very likely that even he might not be able to do much to it.

'Dean!' Leo suddenly said internally, 'Harry had informed the librarian. But, I don't want to take any chances. Let's go and get the Dean to move himself.'

Leo immediately changed his path, and headed towards the Dean's office.

When people saw him dashing around like crazy, they were left in confusion.

He had just won a fight, and instead of recovering, he was pulling some bizarre stunt..

Was this a victory dance?

…

'Where the hell is that man?!!' Harry frowned as he waited outside the Dorm building while keeping his eye on it. He hadn't gone inside, because he knew it was dangerous. He had suffered the last time as well, and clearly knew that he was probably going to get bashed if he tried to play the hero here.

Besides, Shinobi worked through the shadows and not in light. So, this was not his style.

But, a problem was cropping up. Jack was nowhere to be seen, and he hadn't responded to the messages as well. This was stressing Harry up.

Time was of utmost importance.

He obviously had no idea that the Instructors were currently having another meeting for the same murder incident. And, with all their devices on silent, it wasn't odd that Jack hadn't seen the messages yet.

"It will be bad if they are too late…" He muttered with a heavy frown, but then shook his head. He had not planned to come to light.

After all, staying in the shadows was his life's motto.

But, suddenly a scene flashed through his mind, a familiar voice reverberated in his mind. Some things just could never be forgotten.

'Hide yourself until you are confident enough to end it in one blow….but the rules have to be broken when your heart doesn't want to follow it. I have followed my heart, so even if this is the end, I don't regret the way I lived. So, you decide things on your own too. I can only wish for your best..'

It all ended there, and a frown appeared on Harry's face as he looked at the Dorms once again.

He slowly clenched his fist. His motto and his heart were contradicting each other. He had decided his way of living on that fateful day, and it hadn't changed ever since…

'Tsk..' He suddenly clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction and began to move.

It was just a backup measure. He wasn't going to do anything, until there was no other option left.

…

"Where the hell is he?!" Leo frowned as he looked around, but the room was empty. There was no sight of the Dean around.

"Hey! What are you doing in here, barging without permissions?!" The secretary rushed into the room with an angry look on his face.

He was outside on his desk, and people usually would seek permission before going in. But, Leo just came in like the wind and barged into the room like it was his own.

"Where is the Dean?" Leo asked him.

"You! Answer me first! What's your name?! Don't think you can do what-"

"Shatter!"

The man suddenly froze when a flower vase went flying a few inches from his face, and shattered on the wall behind.

"Where is the Dean?!!" Leo didn't have time for this.

The person gulped, and involuntarily took a step back.

He was not an awakener. It was just that he was good at management, and hence was put on the job. It was a very common thing. After all, Awakeners are usually not interested in such jobs.

As Leo took a step towards him and grabbed his collar, the guy immediately opened his mouth, "M-Meeting Hall.."

Leo stared at him for a few seconds, and then released him before rushing out towards the Meeting Hall.

The Secretary saw Leo leave, and the next instant his face immediately changed. He opened his smart link, and immediately contacted the security, "There is an unruly student who just barged into the Dean's office. He not only destroyed the Academy's property, but even assaulted me!!"

"Hurry up, and apprehend him!! He is dangerous!!"

This person obviously didn't recognize Leo because if he did, he would surely have framed his words in a better way.

…

Disciplinary Committee

"There has been less cases of violence in the last two days." A student with glasses stood in front of a girl, as he reported on the situation.

"Is there any lead regarding the murder incident?" The girl asked with a calm look on her face.

She had gorgeous blue hair which ran down to her waist. Her sapphire eyes seemed to be filled with a calm like water, and there was a cold air surrounding her.

She was a second year as well, and at the same time, the Head of the Disciplinary Committee.

Doris Lionel

Her father shared the same status as Edgar, being one of the three Marshals in the military. And, had the highest authority in the military.

"Well, it's a good thing that it has been calm these past days." She nodded, and then got up to prepare herself to go on a patrol. It was her usual routine during breaks.

At this moment, a message came into her smart link.

It was a report of a student barging into the Dean's office and assaulting the secretary.
