The Mech Lord

Two people entered the Infirmary, and both were someone that Leo was meeting for the first time. And, if he wasn't wrong, one of the men in that grey gown like robe was the Dean of the Academy.

As for the other person, he seemed a bit familiar yet unfamiliar. Leo was sure that he didn't know him. But, had seen his picture somewhere when he was researching about Gloria.

'Where did I see him?' He muttered inwardly in confusion while looking at the man.

The man seemed to feel Leo's gaze and just returned it with a smile.

This man was standing there in a casual sweat pants and sweat shirts. It was as if he owned the place. His hair had a slight dark blue shade to it with a little purple mixed within. At first glance, he really made people feel a bit weird, but his smile soon made them neglect it all.

"Are you two fine?" The Dean asked, looking at Leo and Harry.

Leo was about to reply with a nod, when Harry suddenly stood up from his seat. And, even though he was in pain, he still crossed his arm and gave a slight bow to the man beside the Dean. "Greetings, my Majesty."

Leo's eyes immediately widened and he shifted his gaze back at the man, and realized why the man seemed to be someone he had seen in a picture before. He was actually the Emperor of Gloria, Regan G. Lynchfield. One of the Heroes to have participated in the raid 30 years ago.

"You don't need to do this, you are injured. Just focus on recovering," Regan shook his head, and asked Harry to sit back.

Leo too was about to get up and greet him, but Regan just waved his hand asking to stop it. In the end, he just sat there feeling a bit awkward.

"How about you learn something from the Young ones' Jack?" The Dean glared at the man who didn't seem to care in the least about the Emperor's presence at all.

Seeing that the Dean was glaring at him, Jack finally moved. He looked at Regan and snorted, "Have a good day my Majesty."

Leave the proper etiquette aside, the guy wasn't even trying to sound normal. There a was blatant disregard in his tone. But, Regan just gave him a nod, and didn't pursue the matter.

This really surprised Leo, and left him a bit confused. He couldn't understand what was going on. But, there definitely seemed to be something going on behind the scenes for sure.

The Dean looked at them and shook his head. He was wondering just when this thing was going to end between these people.

In the end, he just turned his head to look at Leo and Harry, "Can you tell me what had happened back there?''

Leo and Harry exchanged a glance.

Well, it was time.

Leo still was a bit suspicious about Jack's claims. But, his words that they were living too comfortably and should be prepared to face threat anytime seemed to have left a mark on him.

And, being honest, he knew that he would definitely have a growth due to this encounter which would help in the upcoming fight.

So, he looked at Harry for advice, and Harry hadn't cared for it in the first place, much less now.

So, the two just ended up lying. They said that the creature seemed to come out from vents into the storage room.

This way, there was no proof that Jack was housing that thing.

The Dean couldn't help but frown on listening to them. His eyes slowly turned toward Jack, but he stood there with an innocent face.

Jack looked at the two and nodded. He was impressed. The two actually did a good job. But, he still had to face the Dean. The man definitely wouldn't let him off easily. But with the two kids not speaking out, he was sure to save his job.

It was another matter that the Dean would make his life hell afterwards.

But it was better than being fired.

"Do you guys know what it was?" Regan asked as his eyes slowly darted towards Jack.

"N-No…" Harry shook his head a bit nervously. He was talking to the Emperor after all. It was another thing that the Regan didn't look like one.

"Well, it's fine then. We will inform your parents about it. It was actually one of our staff member's rare Pet Beast which had been infected," The Dean calmly said as he prepared to leave.

"I will stay here to talk with the students, Professor." Regan looked at the Dean and smiled.

"Well then, I am out of here." Jack immediately raised his hands upon hearing Regan and left the place.

The Dean looked at him and sighed. He then gave Regan a nod before leaving the infirmary as well.

With two gone, Leo and Harry were left all alone with Regan. That definitely was nerve-wracking.

The two couldn't help but became a bit nervous. They didn't know what the Emperor wanted to talk with them.

Regan looked at Harry and smiled as a strange aura surged out of him and Harry's head immediately fell on the pillow behind.

Leo's eyes constricted.

'Will!'

It was the same power that they had been discussing earlier.

"You don't need to look so worried. I just put him to sleep." Regan calmly said as he walked up to Leo's bed and took a seat beside.

'Aiden! What is going on?! He won't kill me, right?!' Leo screamed internally, but there was no reply. It was only then that he realized of Aiden's absence.

The little kitty was missing!

"I heard that you lost your memory?" Regan asked Leo with a curious look on his face.

Leo nodded his head awkwardly.

He didn't know the proper way to act in front of the Emperor.

"You don't remember anything?" Regan seemed to be taken back in surprise even though he probably knew about it from beforehand.

"I don't remember a single thing before the accident." Leo just let it out, it wasn't hidden from anyone at this point.

A smile immediately appeared on Regan's face as if he was very happy to know that.

"Uhnn…" Upon noticing Leo staring at him, he immediately wiped that grin off of his face and cleared his throat.

"Anyway, I was just passing by and thought of dropping down to check on you. After all, it's been a while since we last met." Regan slapped Leo's back and his face twitched in pain.

He was hurt and not lying in the infirmary for no reason!!

"I heard that Rebecca met you."

Leo immediately froze.

'Don't tell me..'

"Take care of Rebecca for me. You don't remember but you two were like brothers and sisters. So remember to call her sister if you see her and protect her as a brother.''

"And, if you have forgotten your crush then let me remind you. It's that Vampire girl, what was her name again…...Serina Lancaster." Regan smiled at Leo as he put his hand over his shoulders as if they were best buddies.

Leo's eyes immediately dilated.

This had to be a joke!

Leo was speechless at the ability of this man to lie and fool others. He realized that this guy was just using this opportunity to get Aiden away from his daughter.

He was trying to take advantage of a person who had lost his memories!!

This man...

Leo was really lacking words to describe him.

And, what's with him being so casual?

Was this guy really an Emperor?
