The Mech Lord

Chapter 140 - 139: Feud

"Is he alright?" Runeko asked as she looked at the nurse in the infirmary with a worried look on her face.

"Don't worry, he has just exhausted his Arora Energy. He must have overworked himself." The Nurse shook her ahead as it was not something serious.

'Overwork?' Runeko sure was confused. She looked at Paul, and just couldn't understand what nurse meant by overwork. This guy had just made two moves at most, and even before that, he was just sleeping.

She looked at the time, and saw that there was the break time now. Hence, she decided to stay around.

A while later, Paul finally woke up realizing that he was in a different place.

"Where am I?"

"I brought you to the infirmary.." Runeko immediately informed him. "You seemed to have exhausted yourself.."

"Ah..I indeed used my skill.." Paul remembered it. He then pulled the blanket, trying to make himself comfortable and go to sleep once again. He clearly wasn't interested in anything else.

"Umn..Why did you fall asleep like that? Is it possible that you sleep because you have some problem?" Runeko asked in a meek little voice. She wasn't usually the type to ask people for their problems. But, this time, she was taking the initiative.

If it was true that Paul slept because he didn't have a choice, then it would mean that everybody had wronged him. They were thinking all this time that he was just a lazy bum when he wasn't.

"My skill…it can be exhausting.." Paul replied with a tired look on his face, his eyes were almost about to shut due sleepiness.

"What kind of skill is it?" Runeko asked, but immediately realized that it might not have been an appropriate thing to ask.

But, Paul didn't seem to mind at all, and replied, "It's called [Amplify]. It allows me to multiply my stats. But, the more I amplify, the faster it drains my energy."

Earlier, he had gone beyond his way to save Runeko. This had really exhausted him, and after only two more moves, his reserves were empty. Luckily, the people around had been all scared by him. If not, they would have been in a lot of trouble.

In another corner of the Academy..

"Are you sure about it?" Vanessa asked as she looked at the staff in front of him.

"Yes, Mam. There had been an incident where a person's Pet beast had gone out of control and ended up hurting two students. But, it isn't true. I was in the area they had put under lockdown. There wasn't even a single roar of a Beast." The person honestly explained.

It sure was odd.

If you said that fight broke out with an Arora Beast involved, there was no way that no one had heard its roars.

'Something is off..' Vanessa waved her hand, sending the person away. But, the frown on her face still remained. She had been investigating all the incidents that had happened in the Academy from the day that the traces of the Demon King's will had been felt in the Academy.

No matter whether it was something insignificant, or something very serious. She had the list of all of it, and was going through it in a detailed manner.

The incident that she was talking about with the person from the staff was very well known in the Academy. Even Vanessa had heard of it before, because Aiden was apparently injured in it.

But, it had become suspicious now that this person had revealed some information.

Something definitely felt off about it.

Not to mention, this Beast incident had happened near the same time as that incident.

'Is he involved?' Vanessa frowned. She was worried if Aiden was in some kind of trouble. She was not suspecting him of being the culprit at all.

'Right.. there was one more person..' Vanessa suddenly looked at the information of the other person, and a picture appeared in her smart link.

It was Harry.

She knew this guy as well. He was Aiden's friend and was in her class too.

'I will need to find out about him..' She didn't know whether they had anything to do with that incident. But, if she had to suspect anyone between the two to have any knowledge of something, it would be Harry.

After all, she didn't want to drag Aiden into this mess.

Harry's body suddenly shivered as he felt a chill running down his spine.

"What's wrong?" Leo asked in confusion.

"Nothing…I just.." Harry didn't continue and shook his head. He just felt a chill for some reason, having a bad feeling. But, this feeling didn't last long, and he only thought of it to be an illusion.

"By the way, are those guys following us?" Leo asked in a low voice.

"Yeah, they have been, ever since we left the class." Harry forced a smile on face. His senses were even more frightening, and he had noticed them long ago.

'Scan them Arthur..' Leo commanded inwardly.

Within a few seconds, the data was all available with Leo.

There were a total of five of them. With one at Lv 10, and the rest were all Lv 11.

And, one of them even had a Green Rank Skill.

It was evident that Harry and Leo weren't going to be their match if trouble occurred. Until now Leo knew that they were at war with Section C, but that feeling seems to have become more real right now.

"There is a turning ahead, the moment we cross. Run at full speed.." Leo whispered to Harry, and he was surprised for a second, but then nodded with a smile.

The group following behind them was indeed from Sections C, and they surely weren't here with good intentions.

"Why aren't we making a move on them?" One of the guys asked with a frown.

"Do you want to fight in this hallway? Can't you see the other students around?" Another replied with an annoyed look on his face. If they started a fight here, it was very likely that a few other people would end up being dragged into it.

This wouldn't end well for anyone. Not to mention, if the Section Leader of the other Class took it in a bad manner. No one knew how the current situation would be affected. It might turn into a multiway battle or a handicapped one if the other party allied with their enemies.

Hence, they could only slowly follow them in hopes of finding a better place to take them out.

When these groups took a turn around the corner, their eyes widened. They could see Leo and Harry had already reached the end of the hallways on the other side, and were about to take another turn.

Those two b*stars had clearly broken out into a sprint.

"Chase them!"

A person suddenly yelled, and the group ran after them.

The onlookers were amused at the scene. They were already hearing things about the feud between Section F and C.

"It seems to have started now.." One of guy from a different section smiled as he looked at the people running around.

"Well, things will be more interesting this way." Another laughed.

Washroom..

"Are we really going to hidden in here forever?" Harry asked with a helpless look on his face.

Leo, who was in the cabin next to him, could only reply in a similar manner, "What do you think we should do then? Go and get beaten by them?"

Like he said, this wasn't even a match. But, just one sided beating.

At this moment, a couple of students seem to enter the place.

"I heard that a few of the Section F trash has already been taken care of while most of them seemed to be escaping us." A person spoke.

"Well, that was expected. Just what could they possibly do.." Another voice sounded. This time it was a familiar one. Both Leo and Harry recognized it. It belonged to Quinton.

"But, that Billy is giving a lot of trouble to our students." The other person seemed to be irritated.

"Don't worry, I will take care of him soon," Quiton replied. "And, what about the guy that I asked you to catch?"

"Aiden?" The other guy asked.

Those words made both Leo and Harry's brows jump a bit.

"Do you have a personal grudge against him? Why do you want to beat him with your own two hands?" The other person asked in an amused tone.

"I would have killed him if it wasn't the Academy. He should be grateful that I am only planning to break a few of his bones, and wipe the floor with his face." Quinton snorted. "That guy is nothing but trash with a good father. Without the Silver behind him, he is nothing."

Leo frowned on hearing that. That was some intense hatred on that guy's side. He clearly wasn't joking when he said that he wanted to kill him.

'Did you have a feud with this guy?' He asked inwardly to the guy who knew the answer.

[Well, I have one now-nya.]
