The Mech Lord

Chapter 42 - 41: The Unreasonable Librarian

Amelia looked at the two and immediately understood what was going on.

This was really bad!

She needed to find Leo and fix everything.

"Will you explain what's going on?" Serina asked with a frown.

Amelia really wanted to cry right now. She knew she had it coming once she went back home. She looked at two in front of her and explained the situation to them and once she did, their faces changed in shock.

"If he returns please do inform me," Amelia said to Becky before leaving in an attempt to find him.

"That was really unexpected." Serina shook her head, she never would have thought that Leo's odd behavior was due to memory loss.

"Does that mean, he doesn't remember me as well?" Becky asked looking at her. She seemed worried about it.

"If he doesn't even remember his family, there is no way he would remember any of us." Serina shook her head with a helpless smile on her face.

But when she saw that look on Becky's face, she couldn't help but console her a bit, "Don't worry, even if he doesn't remember you. You just need to make him remember. Not to mention now you even have a reason to interact with him. Just say you want to help him get his memories back. Besides, not everyone gets a chance to leave a good first impression on their crush for a second time you know."

"Sshh! What are you doing? You know I am a princess, don't you? What will I do if people hear you?" Becky immediately put her hand on Serina's mouth to shut her up and then looked around to see if anyone had heard them or not.

"Seriously?" Serina couldn't help but look at her with an amused face. "Don't you realize that you are too obvious? I bet more then half of the people in the Academy know that you have a crush on him. Isn't that one of the reason that people dislike him even more?"

"No way!" Becky was immediately taken back. She hadn't realize it until now it seems or wasn't willing to accept it probably.

But it was obvious to people, it could be clearly seen from the way that Amelia had tried to test Leo using Becky's name.

Serina shook her head and turned around to enter the class with Becky following behind her with a concerned and nervous face. She still wasn't done talking and wanted to know why she said that.

….

On the other side…

Leo was lying down in the medical ward after that scary looking man had carried him here while Leo was screaming in pain.

"Is he fine?" The man asked looking at the nurse who seemed a bit intimidated by him.

"Yes, Sir. There is nothing wrong with him. It was just his wounds acting up. It wasn't anything major," She shook her head and walked out of the cabin leaving behind Leo and the scary looking man alone.

"I should probably go now," Leo said a bit nervously as he tried to get up and leave.

"Sit down, you not only intruded in my personal space but even made me carry you here. I am not done with you."

Those words stopped Leo dead in his tracks and he forced a smile on his face before lying down on the bed and looking at the man.

"Which area was it Sir?" He couldn't help but ask.

"Library…" The man replied it and it immediately made Leo speechless for two reason.

In this days, where in hell would you find physical libraries? Did people really had so much of boredom to go out and search for things which could be found online?

And let's leave this for a second, how the hell did this man dared to call library his personal space. Didn't it belong to the students?

"How are you going to make it up for all the trouble you caused to me?" The man asked looking at Leo.

'What's wrong with the teachers here? Shouldn't you be helping a student in need? Not to mention wasn't he the one who caused Leo all the pain in the first place. How did Leo ended up being the one to have caused him trouble? Wasn't this the other way around.

Leo really wanted to let him know the facts correct. But he already had enough of a trouble today and definitely didn't want another one, especially with a teacher.

"I am sorry, I wouldn't do it from next time. I didn't realize when I got there actually." He tried to ask for forgiveness.

"There is no forgiveness for a soldier…report from tomorrow on wards in the library. You will be cleaning the whole library after classes from tomorrow until I am not satisfied with it."

"Huh?" Leo looked at the man with a dumbfounded face.

The man was clearly being unreasonable!

"What? You got a problem with it?" The person gave Leo a glare and he immediately close his mouth which was about to open in protest.

"Good! I will see you tomorrow after the classes. Don't be late."

And with that he got up and left the place.

Leo looked at his leaving back and sighed.

A minute hadn't even past since that unreasonable person left when another familiar figure entered the room.

It was Aaron.

"What happened? Is everything fine?" He asked with a frown. It seemed he had got the news of Leo being carried to the infirmary somehow and had rushed to meet him.

"I am fine," Leo forced a smile on his face before explaining the situation to him.

"Tsk, bad luck. That man is the librarian, Jackle Redwood. He is a weirdo. Even though no one uses library, he still has the post of the librarian and is paid free money. And at top of that, he doesn't even look after the library and catches student like you do the job for him," Aaron gave Leo a pitiful look with a helpless smile on his face.

Leo sighed before once again looking at Aaron and asking for his help to deal with the guy who he had kicked in earlier in the morning.

"Why did you had to go with him for a mock battle in that situation?" Aaron's frown deepened on hearing Leo explain another troublesome situation. He really couldn't believe he had gotten into trouble back to back on the first day.

"How was I supposed to know what kind of point he was talking about?" Leo groaned helplessly.

"Didn't Amelia inform you everything needed for the Academy? I heard mom telling her last night to talk to you about everything in detail before going to sleep," Aaron said with a frown and this really made Leo not know how to react.

Amelia didn't say single word to him about it.

'That girl…'

'What do I even say to her?' He just lightly shook his head. There was nothing he could do about this.

"It doesn't matter anymore. Just tell me you are helping me out of this…" Leo asked as he stared at Aaron for help.

"This.." Aaron really seemed to have been pushed into a corner but in the end, he shook his head. "I can't…"

Those words shattered all of Leo's hope. Was he supposed to go and get beaten now?

"We are not in the same year. Unless he challenges me, its unfair and clearly bullying if I interfere in this matter. Even Academy wouldn't like it. Not to mention I will be turned into a bully for it."

"Can't you just diffuse the situation? I mean to the point where there won't be any fight." Leo inquired with pleading gaze.

Aaron really was speechless. How much did this guy change? It was only today that he was feeling that this guy was an entirely different person from inside. Because Aiden never would do something like this. The guy would have probably fought to death just to not let anyone mock him. That was how Aiden was.

"I don't think it will be that easy. If they target you then that means they have got someone behind them. After all, not everyone has the guts to go against us." Aaron shook his head. "So, even if I interfere, its very less likely that the person would back down and instead he is more likely to try and drag me in."

"There are even people who would try to go against Edgar Silve- I mean Father," Leo immediately corrected himself feeling Aaron's glare and saw his fingers balling into a fist.

"Don't tell me that girl didn't even told you about this?" Aaron's face turned ugly at this point of time.

Leo didn't know what was going on but soon he found out. It seemed that Viona had given Amelia the task to make Leo knowledgeable enough to not have any problem around. After all, she was the only one who had enough of free time to do so. Teach Leo everything back from the basics.

Edgar had his work, Viona looked after the house and the business and Aaron was busy with his training and study. Only Amelia was free as she was still in her first year of MTP unlike Aaron and not to mention, she wasn't like her two hardworking brothers and spent most of her time chatting with her friend or going out.

"That girl…" Aaron's face twitched in anger when he saw Leo's face and realized that Amelia clearly had slacked onto her promise.
