The Mech Lord

"I wonder what's going on?" Ronnie muttered as he walked out of the Infirmary with Rebecca and Serina. Spike had no idea what was going around, and Leo had already disappeared from their sight. So, they couldn't find out what it was all about.

"Spread out! Restraint him!"

"Such behavior can't be tolerated!"

Serina looked at the group from the Disciplinary Committee running around in high spirits. It had been quite these past few days, so it certainly had been a while since she saw these guys again.

"I wonder which moron caused problem this time." Ronnie smiled with an amused look on his face. There was nothing good in coming in contact with these people from the Disciplinary committee.

"These guys usually don't move like this if it's a fight.." Serina frowned.

It was true.

Small fights were common, and unless a member of the committee chanced upon it. They wouldn't interfere or at least until there was someone who complained about it.

But to think they were moving like this, it had to be something big.

"Is it related to the murderer?" Rebecca suddenly asked with a frown.

"Well, let's find out.." Ronnie smiled, and grabbed one of the guys.

"Wh-" The person turned his head in anger, a bit irritated as well.

But, the moment he saw the trio before him, his face immediately turned pale.

"What's with the commotion?" Ronnie asked.

"A-A student broke into the Dean's office.." the person replied nervously.

Ronnie stood there as if in deep thought. He then turned his head to look towards Rebecca and Serina, "It's something else. How about you guys go ahead? I have another class.."

"Who wanted your company to begin with?" Serina sneered at him before grabbing Rebecca's hand, and walking away.

As soon as they were gone, Ronnie turned his head back towards the guy, "Who is this person?"

"I-I don't know. They are still trying to identify him from the recordings.."

"Show it to me.." Ronnie didn't let him go, and the guy nodded.

He then flicked a screen and showed him a picture from the footage.

'It's him..' Ronnie realized it was Leo at a glance. After all, he had just seen him. His suspicions turned out to be true. But, he couldn't understand what was wrong with him.

"Do you know what happened?" Ronnie looked at the person, and he just shook his head.

In the end, the guy was finally allowed to go, and he didn't even waste a second before disappearing.

Ronnie stood there with a frown on his face. He couldn't understand just what was going on. He knew that Leo wouldn't just go crazy for no reason. There had to be something behind this. And, to be honest, he could only relate it to the little hedgehog.

His words were definitely the trigger for all of this.

'Well, I should take a look. I don't know what's going on, but it definitely will be entertaining..' He muttered inwardly before beginning to move as well.

…

Spike returned to the club with a frown on his little face. He had no idea what was going on. But, it definitely didn't feel right. Something was bad here.

"Where is Harry?" Yuji asked with a smile, and everybody's face turned towards him as well.

"He ran off somewhere.." Spike replied with an odd look on his face.

"Is something wrong?" Nora felt that he was behaving a bit oddly.

"Kind of.." Spike looked at them and then explained the situation.

"I don't have a good feeling about it. I think we should go and check on Runeko.." Nora looked at Yuji with a worried look on her face. There had been a lot happening with Runeko, and now her name was coming up like this. She felt her heart clench as an ominous feeling took over her.

"That is indeed odd…" Yuji sat there with a frown on his face.

At this moment, two people walked into the room.

Both of them had the uniform of the Security staff on.

"Who is the Club president?" One of the men asked.

"It's me.." Yuji raised his hand.

"We heard that you have a Demi-Human member.." the person asked as he looked around.

"She is not here. She is sick and has taken leave," Yuji replied with an odd look on his face.

The person frowned a bit, but then nodded.

The Head of the Security Department was berated in the last meeting and was even warned. Hence, he had deployed all his people to go around, and meet the Demi-Human students and mark the suspicious one.

"Is there any problem with her?" Nora asked when she saw the guys turn around to leave.

"We have a missing person. So, we just wanted to ask if there was any connection between them or if she knew that person," The man replied with a calm look on his face.

With that, the two of them left.

'They were a bit too alert..' Spike looked at the two men with a frown on his little face. He could see that the two people always had one of their hands on their weapons. It was as if they were prepared for an attack.

But, it might have been due to the fact that there was murderer roaming around in the campus.

Or maybe..

…

On the other side..

Leo moved towards the meeting hall. He had no idea that he had been labelled as a mischief and had the security and disciplinary committee coming after him.

"Stop there!"

Leo was taken back when two students suddenly blocked his path with a hostile look on their faces.

"Who are you?" Leo asked with a frown.

"We are from the Disciplinary Committee. You are coming with for damaging the Academy property and assault a staff member." The person gave Leo a disdainful look.

It was one thing to fight with another student, but to beat the staff..

Honestly, they didn't interfere in matters between students. But, if any student took it out of that boundary to destroy stuff and target other irrelevant people, they would surely be coming. And, it actually happened a lot. When the weak were suppressed for too long, they would turn towards people weaker than them.

Leo immediately frowned upon hearing that.

"It's not like that. You guys are misunderstanding." Leo knew that he didn't have time to explain it all to them here. "Let me just meet the Dean. I am sure he will clear the confusion."

The two looked at Leo with a doubtful look on their faces. There was no way that they were believing him.

"Just let me pass, please.." Leo knew there was no way he would be able to force his way through in a situation like this. He was weak as hell, and injured on top of that. Not to mention, the students who were capable of joining the Disciplinary committee were all above average.

"You are coming with us. You can explain it to us then. If you are not wrong then you don't have anything to worry about," One of the guys said with a nod.

"Crackle!"

Lightning sizzled around Leo's feet.

"Carefull!" The person immediately jumped back while warning his fellow mate.

The next moment, a blinding light flashed through the hallway, and by the time two realized what was going on, Leo had vanished from the place.

"Damn it! He ran away!!" The person's face immediately turned ugly.

"Raise his threat level! There is no need for communication anymore! Ask People to apprehend him directly on sight.." The guy further grumbled while the person behind him passed the message through his smart link,

….

"They are not following me.." Leo sighed in relief when he didn't see anyone behind him.

[How in hell does that solve the situation-nya?!] Aiden's grim voice rang in Leo's mind, and his face turned ugly.

Now that he had run backwards, he would have to make a circle and take a long route towards the meeting hall.

And, in doing so, he would probably meet more people who were after him.

This was definitely getting troublesome.

'There is still no reply from the Librarian..' Leo frowned. If he could confirm that the Jack was moving in for help, he wouldn't have to run. He would have instead calmly cleared the situation.

[Time is running out. There is only one option left now-nya.] Aiden was worried. Amelia was his sister after all.

Since it had come to him, they could only make a desperate effort.

After all, no matter what, Leo was weak as hell. He wasn't going to be able to make his way with so many people trying to block him.

…

A few minutes later..

Leo arrived back at the place where he had run away earlier from. There were two more turns from here, before he could reach the meeting hall. It was the shortest way through.

Currently, there was one person guarding the path. It was the guy who had remained quiet during the earlier exchange.

But, it still didn't change anything.

Leo scanned him, and it came as Lv 12 Elite.

There was no hope.

As he was contemplating, a voice came from beside him.

"Need some help?"

"Sure, I do," Leo replied, with a bitter smile. The next second, his face froze.. He slowly turned his head, and saw Ronnie smiling at him.
