The Mech Lord

\'This guy…\' Leo looked at Harry who had a smile on his face. The guy was clearly pretending to be innocent here after doing all of that. It was clear that he wanted to stay away, and prevent his name from getting out. After all, any idiot could tell that revenge would be coming towards the Culprit if Quinton was to ever find out about his identity.

"What? Afraid now?" Leo asked as he looked at him.

"Uhmn..a shinobi works through the shadows. It\'s against my code of conduct to be caught." Harry acted as if there was nothing wrong with his actions.

"Why? Do you want to proclaim yourself as the culprit and take that honor?" He looked at Leo and further asked.

Leo forced a smile on his face, and shook his head. Well, he wouldn\'t. Why would one get into some trouble if they could?

"But, won\'t that guy target us for this? I mean, seeing the current situation, it would be very obvious if the person who did it to him was from our class.." Gramos, the Orc, spoke.

He was another strong man of the class, and like Leo and Harry, he was one of the few who had the ability to converse with Billy. He was even in charge of training the class along with a few others.

"So, what if he blames us? To be honest, it sounds like a good idea, maybe I should take responsibility for it." Billy only laughed at it. He was fine if the Class C wanted to come at him. He would take on them in anyway they wanted.

Harry\'s eyes lit up on hearing that. If Billy took the responsibility then he really would have less things to worry about. But, Billy\'s next words poured a bucket of cold water on his head.

"On another thought, I should refrain from doing such a thing. It\'s not like me to call another\'s achievement as mine." Billy shook his head, "I might as well, do something similar to that guy.."

Those words which were spoken with a devious smile send chills running down the people\'s spine.

"Bang!"

At this moment, the door to the classroom was suddenly flung open, and it attracted everyone\'s attention.

The visitor was Quinton.

The guy walked into the class huge steps, there was anger written all over his face. And, he wasn\'t alone. There was a group of people behind him, almost half of his class.

Billy slammed the desk as he got up, and walked towards the guy who had barged in uninvited. The rest of the class followed after him as well.

"What the hell are you walking in here for? You stink!!" Billy\'s words immediately made Quinton\'s face to turn dark.

He took a few steps forward, and came right in front of Billy\'s face.

"Try and say that again.."

It seemed that a fight was inevitable.

"Oh my…he is angry guys.." Billy laughed as he looked at people behind him.

Even though the class was not all united with the matter of fighting, it was another thing when the enemies walked right in with such hostile intentions.

"Can you stay away from my face…because you s-t-i-n-k.." Billy lightly whispered to him.

"You b*stard!!" Quinton snapped, he raised his fist, as a Cyan aura erupted from his body.

The people around all prepared themselves as well.

"Stop!!"

A thunderous voice rang across the class, and the next instant, all the students felt a huge suppressing feeling on their shoulders.

Leo turned his head, and saw Vanessa walking into the class.

There was an ugly look on her face.

\'Thank god, I had made it on time.\'

"What do you think you are doing? Is this how you act? Who is your Instructor?!!" The students of Class C immediately had their faces turned ashen.

It was very rare for an Instructor to interfere in student\'s matters like this. But, Vanessa clearly was planning to do so.

"Are you not even going to ask who is wrong or who is right?" Quinton asked with an angry look on his face. He wasn\'t even showing respect to the Instructor. And, there was a reason for it, Vanessa and Silver\'s relationship was not a hidden fact, he clearly felt that she was being biased because of Aiden\'s presence in the class. Otherwise, when did instructors interfere in someone else\'s matter like this?

"Right and wrong?" Vanessa snorted as she looked at the rude student. She didn\'t know who the student was, nor did she care about it. To her he was just a student, and nothing above or below that mattered.

"You barge into a different class, and try to start a fight. And, you dare to talk about wrong and right?" She glared at him. It was very obvious that this was not within the rules.

"And, why does it stink here?" Vanessa suddenly frowned.

Her words immediately caused a lot of the students to break out in laughter. It was hard to control.

Quinton clenched his fists in anger. His situation was known throughout the Academy by now.

And, yet Vanessa seemed to be clueless about it. To him, it was just a method of her insulting him. In his anger, he was viewing everything in the wrong manner.

"Let\'s go.." He immediately turned around to leave.

"Who allowed you to leave?" Vaneesa frowned. She hated when people gave her the attitude. At least to the people she has no relationship with.

"Go out in the hall, and kneel."

The students of Class C looked at her, but what could they do?

She was an Instructor, if you tried to piss her off, it might show on your results card.

"And, you, go and call their Instructor." She picked one of the students from her own class.

Quinton looked at Vanessa with flames of anger burning in his heart, and then shifted his attention to Leo.

It was obvious that he couldn\'t do anything to Vanessa. But, what about this guy?

As the students went out to kneel, Vanessa looked at her own class, "And, you guys. I know that some of you have been pushing this fight as well. I am giving you a warning, and don\'t try to play smart with me.."

She then turned her attention towards her smart link.

There was a message in it, informing her about Quinton and his group heading for the Class F.

If not for this person, informing her on time. It was evident a huge incident would occur.

And, the Class F overall was no match for Class C.

She really wanted to thank this informer, but she had no idea the person was.

…

"I hope she reached on time.." Christina looked at the message she had sent to Vanessa.

Yes, she was the informer.

She felt a weird feeling accumulating in her heart. It was as if she had betrayed her class, and her love as well. But, at the same time, she knew that it was Quinton who was wrongly taking his anger out on Aiden and his class.

It was all because of her plans.

\'Why is he acting like this?\' She couldn\'t understand it at all. The guy who she knew was definitely not this kind of a person. Just where was it going wrong?

…

Class F

Vanessa waited in the class. It was still the break hours. And, there was time before another Instructor came to take the class.

It was at this moment that the Instructor of Class C arrived.

Behind him was Quinton.

And, Leo could see that the other students kneeling in the hallway had begun to leave as well.

"I didn\'t remember allowing them to leave, Instructor Maestro." Vanessa looked at him with an unpleasant look on her face.

"Miss Regalia, do we really need to interfere in the matters of the students? It doesn\'t look good doing that as Instructors. These people are going to protect our Nation in the future. If they can\'t even handle such a small matter on their own, how would they shoulder bigger responsibility?"

"So, you are willing to put the students in harm\'s way just because of that? Don\'t forget that they are not your real soldiers as of yet."

"They will be there one day…" Instructor Maestro replied.

"We will see when the time comes. The military won\'t just drop the fresh recruits to the battlefield would they? When the time comes, they would allow them to have proper experience before giving them actual task." Vanessa looked at him.

"The Era of war is over, it\'s better if you come out of it now." She further added.

"There is no scarcity of enemies for our nation, Miss Regalia. So, it\'s better if you don\'t need teach me how to do things." He said with a calm look, and then turned around to leave, "Besides..I don\'t want a traitor to teach me how to do things. I don\'t know what the higher ups are thinking."

Even though his voice was low, he didn\'t seem too keen on hiding it.

Anyone with a good ear could hear him, and a lot of them sure did.

Vanessa\'s face turned dark.

She had been often referred to as a traitor for leaving Gloria to join the Temple of Light.

"I will give you one last warning, I don\'t want any more of this." She didn\'t retort to him for that comment, but she didn\'t want this class war thing anymore.

Instructor Maestro stopped and turned to look at her, "Let\'s see what you could do then.."

The atmosphere in the class suddenly turned heavy.
