The Mech Lord

"Is there anything wrong?" Vanessa looked at Leo as he kept his silence. There was no answer coming from him.

Leo could feel a few gloating gazes being directed at him, it was certainly entertaining for a few people.

Leo couldn't help, but nudged his fellow mates around for answers. But, they just kept staring at their screen like pieces of unfeeling rocks. They didn't respond to him at all as if Leo wasn't even there.

It was only then that Leo realized that these people were not here for being class toppers. They were a kind of garbage as well.

'Does he not even know something this easy?' Vanessa was a bit surprised. It was true that she had deliberately selected him, but she had thought that he would be able to answer something this easy. 'It seemed his memory loss was way worse than I thought.'

Leo looked at the projection screen with a frown on his face.

The topic which was being taught was the very basic one regarding the Transportations. She had asked him what kind of transportation vehicle should be preferred or what should be kept in mind while designing a custom vehicle while venturing into the terrains like that of Nerona.

For the starters, Leo had no idea about what kind of terrain Nerona had. But, seeing the look on everyone's faces, he understood that it was something which was very obvious to everyone.

Secondly, without knowing the first one, there was no way he was able to answer the first question. Not to mention, he had no idea about the name of a single military vehicle or their characteristics.

[Let me help-nya.] Aiden couldn't keep watching any longer.

'Wait! You can help me! Why the hell were you quiet all along then?!' It was only now that Leo realized it. Hell, he could just leave everything to this guy. There was no need for him to take it so seriously.

Vanessa sighed inwardly as she looked around the class. She had plans to slap the class awake using Aiden as an example. After all, he was the one with the highest grade in theory if she looked at the results. But, her plan surely had backfired.

"Nerona is planet with a fast rotation and revolution time. This makes climate conditions a bit extreme. Venturing into it's terrain can be a difficult task, and very challenging for the troops. An All Road Clawed Rover will be a optimal choice for planet like Nerona."

Vanessa turned her head to look at Leo. She still didn't have the time to process what he had said. But, that sure was the right answer. She knew by that tone itself. She was kind of familiar with that way of speaking. It was as if she was hearing the previous version of the guy.

"Is it good enough, Instructor?" Leo asked with a smile on his face. The people around who were expecting something nice were definitely left a bit disappointed.

[Look at you, are you really feeling that great after cheating-nya?] Aiden couldn't help but sneer at him.

'You were screaming earlier that it was your life, so it is only right that you answer the questions..' Leo retorted without the slightest of guilt.

"Uhmn...That surely is one of the correct choices.." Vanessa cleared her throat and came back to her surroundings.

She then looked at the class, and spoke, "You guys might think that theory is not much needed as long as you are good at fighting. But, let me correct you guys. Without proper knowledge of your surroundings on a battlefield, you will die in no time."

"Never underestimate the power of knowledge, sometimes fist can't be the deciding factor in a battle alone."

"We don't need someone so young to teach us about life and death.." A student snorted from the back seat.

"I bet you haven't even stepped onto a battlefield yet.." Another one spoke.

"Didn't she just bribe her way in?"

'This brats..' Vanessa's face twitched a bit. She had thought they would treat her like a goddess teacher the way they usually did in dramas. But, this was definitely not the part of what she had been imagining in her head.

"It seems I still haven't introduced myself well," She said with a smile before lifting her hand, showing her wrist to the class which had the tattoo of a sword surrounded by chains on it.

And as expected, the entire class immediately went silent while Leo just shook his head looking at Vanessa showing off.

"It's the mark of the Temple of Light!"

"She is a Divine Knight!"

The entire class immediately almost had their eyes popping out. It wasn't just because she was one of a Divine Knight, but also because of the fact that someone so young had joined the Divine Knight. It was very rare, almost unheard of.

"I am Vanessa Regalia, a Divine Knight from Temple of Knight. After serving around Southern planets for almost two years, I was assigned to the Academy Temporarily due to my injuries."

"Regalia? You mean like the One of the Heroes? Are you related to them?" One of the students suddenly asked with sparkling eyes. It was only now that they had paid attention to her that she revealed her identity as a Divine Knight.

Vanessa just smiled, but didn't comment. It probably wasn't going to take more than long for people to find out about it though.

"You there, don't hide your face now…" Vanessa pointed at the guy behind, who had spoken earlier, "I have done much more on a battlefield then you people who are still wet behind the ears. So, if you wanna throw away the Loser tags, you people better listen to what I say.."

"Who are you calling losers?!!"

It was another uproar, but Vanessa just smiled at the class before continuing.

The Class was very chaotic.

A group admired the beauty of the instructor, another was just there trying to do their best, one was a bunch of thugs creating chaos and there was another which just didn't care about anything.

This was the current structure of the class.

Vanessa steered her lesson in the chaotic class somehow before going on her way. She knew that it wasn't possible to get them to listen to her in a single day.

….

Leo attended the next two classes as well, and the scary instructors intimidated the class to be silent. But, the majority still seemed to be living outside the class while being physically inside.

When the class ended, it was finally time for the last class of the day.

"It seems that the grouping of combat classes have been changed unlike before." Harry muttered looking at it in his smart link.

"We are in a separate stadium." Biggie put his huge head over Harry's shoulder to look at the screen.

"Yeah, it's different." Harry nodded.

"Well, see you guys in the club then.." Biggie and Paul parted ways with them as Biggies put the asleep Paul on his shoulder and walked off towards their next class. The two were together while Leo and Harry were together.

"That guy really can sleep, can't he?" Leo was really speechless.

….

The two began to head towards the next class when Harry sighed, "I hate combat classes…"

It was time for some painful practical classes.

"Why? You are stronger than me?" Leo looked at him in surprise.

"I really am not sure about that. I was useless that day in the library. Not to mention, I even opened my mouth in front of the Dean." Harry stood there as a gloomy aura enveloped him, Leo could even see him slowly freezing in ice as a cold wind blew.

"Snap out of it...no one could have done anything about it in that situation." Leo shook the guy a bit and consoled him.

"Besides, it will be easy for you in the practical classes. You are already at Cyan Rank.." he further added with a smile.

Harry's eyes immediately widened and he immediately shook Leo's hand off before separating from him.

Leo was definitely taken back by his actions and that glare for a second, "What's wrong?"

Harry looked at himself, and then suddenly realized what he was doing. "Uh!"

"I am sorry…" He forced an apologetic smile on his face as he calmed down. "I just overreacted, but how did you know I was a Cyan rank?"

"Well, I saw it in the fight." Leo replied with a weird look on his face.

"I see…" Harry nodded, "Can you keep it a secret?"

"You have been hiding your strength?" Leo asked him in surprise.

"Kind of.."

"Why? Have you got people after you?" Leo asked, jokingly.

"How could that be?" Harry laughed at it, but his face clearly turned a bit pale there.

…

As Leo and Harry entered the indoor stadium where the next class was taking place, a pin drop silence immediately enveloped the place.

Leo immediately felt a murderous glare and when he turned his head to look at the source, he found Serina staring at him with those red eyes of her. And, she looked extremely pissed. Beside her was Rebecca standing with a calm look on her face with her spear in her hands. She was cleaning her weapons without caring for anything else.

'So, they were in this combine classes too. Talk about rotten luck..' Leo and Harry quietly went towards their lockers and kept away their stuff before picking up a standard weapons from the counter.

Leo could feel a lot of gazes on him as usual. The rumors about him and Christina had spread, and then there was the Princess dragging him around in the morning. Worst of all, some had caught her crying after that. Even though there was no proof of it, rumors didn't need one.

At this moment, another figure entered the place and the atmosphere once again changed.

It was Christina.
