The Mech Lord

Chapter 131 - 130: War

"You.." Quinton glared at Leo. He clenched his fist in anger as his body shook. But, he controlled himself. 'What qualification does he have to be looking down on me? He has nothing but a strong father to rely on.'

'I can't believe Christina is comparing me to him. I only need time to surpass this pathetic person who is nothing without his father.'

Yes, this person, Quinton Sage, was Christina's boyfriend.

And, this guy was not any ordinary student. He had proved himself in every aspect. If you just wanted to compare, he could almost be compared to the people who were at the top of their game in the second years.

But, since this guy didn't have any significant background like Billy, people didn't put him on the same level as the bigger players in the second year like Rebecca, Ronnie, Duke etc..

"I am sorry, I didn't mean it in the wrong way. I actually didn't know about you." Leo forced a smile on his face as he saw the guy glaring at him.

"Why do you need to apologize? It's not like he is the Prince or Princess of some kingdom. Who does he think he is to expect us to remember his name?" One of the guys from their class mocked him.

"Yeah, now that you have apologized to him, I bet he will brag about this historic moment to all his descendants. I made the son of the hero bow before me." Another guy mocked him.

As soon as those words left his mouth, everyone around began to laugh. It was hard to control it. There were exceptions obviously, like Quinton's group, they had a ugly look on their faces.

These people letting out comments were all a bunch of bullies in their class. It was nothing new to them. To be honest, they had always carefully chosen their target and avoided people like Quinton who were strong. But now that they had a person leading them, it was obvious he would be taking the bullet for them.

Not to mention, even these bullies had seen their worst days and suffered in front of the strongest people like this. So, it wasn't odd if they wanted to use this opportunity to take out the anger hidden in their hearts.

Leo in no way wanted to insult the other person. But, for some reason, Quinton was giving him murderous glares. It was obvious that he had taken him to be the culprit here.

Hell, he didn't do anything though.

"Can you guys sto-" Leo was about to ask his classmates to stop, but before he could do so, a guy slapped his back with a laugh, "Damn you are savage, you really didn't need to go that far.."

Leo turned his head, and saw Ronnie dying in laughter.

'What the heck?! Where did he come from?' Leo had no idea, but as soon as Ronnie's words rang out, and his presence around was revealed, Quinton's face changed for the worse.

And, for some reason, his hostility for Leo increased.

He already didn't like the guy due to the thing with Christina. But, now this…

'You wanted me to become better than him, right? Fine, I will start it by crushing him..' He muttered inwardly.

"What can you expect from a pile of trash? They only know to talk garbage. If you have the ability, then you can prove yourself," Quinton spoked as his aura slowly began to leak out of his body.

He alone suppressed most of the students around, even Leo felt a dangerous feeling rise across his heart.

'This guy is dangerous..'

'Scan him, Arthur..'

[Scanning..]

Name: [Quinton Sage]

Lv 16: [Elite]

Rank Skill: [???}

Race: [Glorian]

Comprehensive Body Assessment: [E+]

'He is strong..' Leo's face turned a bit dark. This guy was almost Lv 16. He truly could be considered to be at the top of the batch. And, then his Skill rank was not visible, meaning he was at least three ranks above.

It meant he was stronger than your average Lv 16 Elite.

"Who is creating trouble in my class?" A voice suddenly sounded, and the next instant, another Arora energy swept the place pushing Quinton's energy away.

Leo immediately turned his head and saw Billy walking through the crowd. At this moment, he really looked dependable.

"So, you are the true leader of the class?" Quinton looked at him, and then at Leo. He couldn't help but give him a disdainful look. This guy wasn't even at the top of his class. How could such trash be even spoken in the same sentence as him?

And, yet the truth was that this guy was being compared to him. Hell, even being said to be better than him. But, not due to his skills, but his father.

It was ridiculous..

"I am the class leader. What business do you have without class?" Billy folded his arm as he looked at Quinton.

"I don't have any business with them. I was just passing by while speaking with my friends when I accidentally stepped up on some trash." He smiled while looking at the group of students who had been arguing with him earlier.

"Y-You!!" The Barbarian guy was immediately enraged. He looked at Billy and spoked in anger, "This guy started it. They provoked us first.."

"Provoked us? I don't think so. I just remembered stating some facts." One of the guys beside Quinton spoked with a snort.

These made a lot of peoples' faces turn ugly.

"If you think otherwise, then prove me what I said was wrong?" The guy asked with a smile, "I said this class was made from the group of handpicked trash from all the other classes."

"Now, who will tell me I am wrong?" He further asked while looking at everyone.

'

But, the people could only glare at him without any retort. They too knew this fact somewhere along.

Billy looked at the guy, and then took a step forward.

"Pa!"

Leo's eyes immediately went wide as a crisp slapping noise rang across the hallway.

A silence immediately engulfed the place.

"You!!" The person staggered a few steps from the impact. His cheek immediately began to swell. But, for some reason, there wasn't a palm print on it.

"How dare you?!!" Quinton immediately erupted in rage, and his Arora energy followed along.

"Come if you wanna die.." Billy's eyes flashed in rage as he erupted with his own energy.

"Get away!!" One of the guys shouted and the rest immediately moved back.

Leo was really taken back for a moment. He had not expected things to change like this so quickly.

"What are you doing, move?" Harry pulled Leo along with him as well.

"Are they really going to fight?" Leo asked as he looked at Harry.

"What do you think?" Harry asked with a speechless look on his face.

This was how things rolled around in the Academy.

Even when Leo had taken a fight with Morpheous by kicking him in the face, no one had done anything. Even Morpheous himself hadn't complained. It was obvious that the matter was a trivial one.

"Bang!"

A clash occurred, and both Billy and Quinton separated from each other. It was clear that they hadn't gone all out. But, it wasn't a place to be going all out as well.

"You will regret it.." Quinton glared at Billy.

"What? Are you going to hold someone's thigh, and beg him to crush me?" Billy asked with a mocking smile, "Because, I don't think I will lose to people like you.."

"The Instructor is on her way here!!" Someone suddenly yelled, a frown appeared on both Billy and Quinton 's face.

Even though they mostly turned blind eye to stuff like this, it was another matter if you fought right in front of them, and disobeyed the rules.

"Consider yourself lucky.." Billy snorted as he looked at Quinton.

"But, I don't think you and your class will be." Quinton scanned everyone, "This isn't over yet…"

He gave Leo a last look and then turned around to leave.

"What's going on here? Why are you all gathered here?" Vanessa's voice sounded as she entered the hallway. She was surprised to see all the students standing there.

"Nothing.." Billy replied and walked into the class. Since he had spoken out, no one dared to go against it. And, just followed after him.

"This will be troublesome.." Harry muttered with a frown as he walked towards the seat with the rest of the group.

"Why?" Leo asked in confusion.

[Why? A war is about to come-nya.] Aiden laughed inwardly and his words made Leo frown.

"What do you mean why? We beat their student, and since it wasn't a fight accepted by both sides and a one-sided beating, do you think they will be happy? Not to mention, Quinton is their class leader."

"What authority would he have left if some other dude beat his people right in front of his face? It will obviously shake his authority. People might even look down on him if that happens. So, he definitely won't take it lying down…"

"I just hope it isn't going to be like the thing a year ago.." Harry shook his head.

"A year ago?" Leo asked in confusion.

"Don't you remember how you got your reputation?"
