The Mech Lord

"No! This is a lie!" Nyanded grabbed its head with its paw as he stared at the . He had received the greatest shock of his life.

Leo had just told him about everything that had happened in the Academy, and also about the battle at the end of the month. And most importantly, the fact that he had watched all his monologues.

"You destroyed my years of hard work that I had put into creating my image-nya!" Nyanden laid down on the bed, extremely depressed. "And, not only that, you even saw my real face-nya!"

Nyanden was now officially the kitten's name. After all, it would be strange if he called it Aiden in front of people. They would think he had a screw loose. After all, who gives a pet their own name.

"What the hell was I supposed to do? I didn't know things well enough. Besides, I am not you." Leo shook his head as his body moved, and he threw his leg out.

"Bang!"

He was practicing his kicks on the sand bag, while Nyanden sat on the bed looking at him.

"I know! But, it still hurts-nya" Nyanded sighed, before directing his gaze towards Leo.

"That certainly is a different way of using energy-nya," Nyanden said with an interested look on his face.

[That's my creator's work, it isn't something you will see everyday.] Arthur was as proud as always.

"Why don't you tell us his name then-nya?" Nyanded asked with a frown.

Yes, the little thing could hear Arthur too. After all, there was a connection between them because of which Leo could command Nyanden verbally.

[You need to reach Lv 11 in order to unlock your memories.]

"This is annoying-nya.."

"Told you," Leo shook his head with a smile.

"Then we can only get you to Lv 11 as fast as we can, that's the only way to have some idea about our situation-nya," Nyanden said with a frown, but Leo's eyes turned a bit dim.

"Even you couldn't cross Lv 10 with a Yellow Rank skill, it's not going to be easy to do so," Leo replied with a sigh.

"Well, that's true. But, we have to find some way. After all, you aren't planning to stay like this for the rest of our life, right-nya?"

"That certainly will be horrifying." Leo felt a chill rising up his spine at the mere thought of it.

"If getting in fights helps you to level up, then I don't care about my image. Just become a delinquent-nya." The little guy seemed to no longer care about anything, but wanted to retrieve his body.

"I will need that Bionic Battle Arm, if I want to have a shot at winning the match. Don't you have some kind of hidden stash of money to help me buy things, and rent a workshop?" Leo asked him with a bit of expectation.

"You already know what kind of person I was. I don't ask for excess money from my parents. Hence, I have no savings-nya."

As Leo was about to lose hope, Nyanded further added, "But..I think I know a place where you can get your job done free of cost."

"Where?" Leo asked in excitement.

Nyanded smiled.

....

Leo hid Nyanden in his room for now. It would be odd if a cat suddenly appeared out of nowhere after all.

He planned to introduce the little guy tomorrow after returning from the Academy. His plan was simple, he would just say that he picked it up from some corner.

Aiden was actually a bit nervous here. He wanted to see everyone in his family, but he knew that there were chances that he might not be kept in the house. People usually took Arora Beast as a pet, and one definitely was enough.

If Leo took him up as well, there were chances that he might have to handle two in the future. This was definitely something to worry about.

"Just show your cuteness! It will work," Leo tried to encourage him, "Here take this, and prepare a bit.."

He took off his smart link, and played a video of cute cat moments before handing it to the dumbfounded kitten.

"You serious-nya?"

"You better learn a trick or two to perform tomorrow," Leo said with a laugh as he went to bed.

It was pretty late already.

….

The next day arrived….

"Come inside of it," Leo said as he opened the storage capsule which the kitten had come from.

"No way! I will suffocate to death-nya!" The little thing immediately backed away in fear.

"Just get in, you are not alive to begin with. You are just a toy." Leo was in a hurry, and unknowingly hurt Aiden's feelings.

"Y-You-nya!"

"I mean this body here is just that of a robot. You are definitely alive out there somewhere. So, now hurry up and get in." Leo hurriedly corrected himself.

"How will we communicate like this-nya?" Nyanden asked as it took a step in the storage capsule.

[You don't need to worry about that, I am here. You can just think whatever you want to, and I will transfer it to him and vice versa. I can even help you two share each other's vision.]

Both Leo and Nyanden's eyes widened a bit in surprise.

"Well that certainly is helpful-nya." Nyanded said while wiggling its tail.

"It sure is." Even Leo had to agree to it.

….

Leo and Amelia finally reached the Academy. And unlike before, Leo really had been trained by Aiden and Amelia on stuff about the Academy. It made him a bit more comfortable roaming around.

"You sure don't need my help?" Amelia asked as she looked at Leo.

"Yeah, I am fine." Leo nodded at her. This was really polar opposite from the previous day. But, Leo could still see that she was always checking around from the corner of her eyes. She really didn't want to be seen with him around.

[This girl will never change-nya?] Aiden sighed inwardly. He really didn't know what to do with her, [Maybe it was my fault all along.]

It seemed that the disaster had changed Aiden's behavior and perspective a lot even if he didn't remember the things. Or maybe the current situation had made him give up on everything else, and just focus on recovery of his body allowing him to realize a few things.

As Amelia went away towards her class, Leo was finally free. He still had an hour today before the classes.

But, he wasn't going to wait. There was something important to be done.

"Let's go," Leo muttered lightly.

[Roger-nya!]
