A silence prevailed in the class. Nobody dared to speak.
Vabessa and Instructor Maestro looked at each other, both trying to intimidate each other.
"You don't need to worry, Instructor Regalia. It was only a light hearted joke. After all, I can't go against the rules. So, you don't have to worry, my students wouldn't allow you to have anything to complain about." Instructor Maestro smiled, and then turned around to leave.
From a simple look, it seed that he had backed off.
But, people who knew about his personality, knew it definitely wasn't so. Even his words seed to have another way of understanding it. He had said that his students wouldn't allow Vanessa to have anything which she could complain for. It could also be taken as the fact that there would be no evidence left for which they could be held responsible.
Vanessa too had a little frown on her face as she left the classroom. It seed that she had so doubts about this as well.
"Do you think it's over?" Harry asked as he looked at Leo.
[It obviously not-nya.] Aiden's voice sounded in Leo's mind, and he sounded very confident. It seed troubles were far from over. Instead what was about to co might be even harder to deal with.
…
The day was finally over, and Leo went to the inner stadium with his classmates for extra training. Everyone was present, no one dared to go against Billy, and with the recent incident, many people seed willing to go through the training even if it could provide a little help to them.
The contents of the training were simple.
It helped one to build their stamina and strength.
And, then a few students who were proficient in use of their Arora energy would help other students with their own skills.
There were a total 12 Elites in their class, 13 if we included Harry who was pretending to be yellow.
These numbers were very low when compared to the other classes where at least 60 to 70% students were Elites, and so were not just at Lv 11, but higher.
In Class F, 7 of the 12 Elites were at Lv 11, and none other exceeded Lv 13 except for Billy who was at Lv 17.
The rest of the class were at Lv 9 or 10 Awake. It was very poor for a second year, especially when they were half way through the session.
"Damn it! Is this really training? Or so kind of cody skit?" The Barbarian cursed and crashed onto the ground once again.
What he was trying to do was a simple task of balancing himself on a rope which was tied to heavy poles on the ground.
There were a lot of other students who were groaning beside him in a similar manner. All of them had bruises on their body. It was all because none of them were allowed to use their energies to protect themselves.
"How will this help us?" Another student complained.
Billy looked at the commotion and frowned. That particular set of training had co from Leo's suggestion. He understood what Leo was trying to get the students to do, but it was not an easy task.
Even he could barely balance himself on the rope.
And, if it was just a thing to improve your sense of balance, he felt there were several other ways to achieve that.
The Barbarian guy today had enough of this silly training. Even while others seemingly had stopped complaining, he didn't.
"I want to know what's the benefit of this training? If not, I won't do it!!" He shouted, and then ca towards Billy. But, his haughtiness from earlier was gone, and he politely explained that the thod was useless and a waste of ti.
"Aiden.." Billy looked at the guy who was still near the sandbag in one corner of the stadium.
Leo was always busy with his own training. Whether he was at ho or the Academy. These were already his training hours.
"What's the matter?" He asked as he walked up to them.
"It seems people are unhappy with your thod." Billy shook his head with a helpless smile.
Leo looked at the Barbarian guy, and sighed. "If they can't do it, then we can only replace it."
It was not like he was trying to teach them Niverian Kicking Arts. He was just trying to improve their sense of balance and calmness during the battle.
"What do you an, we can't do it?!! It's just useless! That's the reason we are not willing to do it.." The Barbarian guy frowned, and so did a few other students. No one liked to be looked down upon.
Leo didn't think they would react like that. He was just trying to be nice.
"Hmph! Just because you can't do it, doesn't an it's useless!!" Harry's voice sounded as he walked from behind, "Show them how it's done!"
He slapped Leo's back with a proud look on his face. When they were setting up the training thods, Leo had shown him sothing which had blown his mind away.
'This guy..' Leo glared at him. He was trying to defuse tension, but now. He could clearly feel so intense gazes from behind. He wasn't going anywhere without proving himself.
"Well, I can demonstrate its use if everybody wants to see.." He forced a smile on his face.
"Good, then let's stop for a while and have everybody observe it as well." Billy clasped his hands with a smile.
A minute later, everybody gathered.
Leo then pressed his feet onto the thin rope, and lifted his other foot up before standing onto it.
The rope didn't shake a bit.
It seed as if he wasn't' standing on a rope, but normal ground.
His actions really made everyone's eyes widen in surprise.
"This rope's first use is to improve your balance. I am sure everyone is aware of it." Leo calmly stated as he brought his arms behind his back, walked from one end to the other of the rope without causing any excessive shaking of the rope. It was very stable.
"Obviously, balance is important, but there is another easier way to achieve this as well. But, the main purpose of this rope is not only balancing. But, it's to improve your calmness and environntal awareness."
As soon as he said that, his body moved and he demonstrated a few moves on the thin rope. It went from the simple boxing technique that he had seen the students perform to his very kicks.
The scene left everyone dumbfounded.
So couldn't even maintain their balance of the thin rope for a second, and yet here this guy had done sothing which they couldn't even have dreamt off. Even Billy was dumbfounded.
"If you could do the sa, and fight on the thin rope. I don't think you won't be prepared for a battle anywhere else. Not to ntion, you will have enough awareness about your surroundings. You might even be able to make a safe escape.." Leo put a few points of his own.
These thods were all taught to him by Arthur, and he had just dropped one here.
In the present date, people were too focused on using of technologies and exact thod of training which were developed in the Current era. People really had forgotten about other useful thods.
"Was this helpful?" Leo asked with a forced smile when he saw that everyone was just staring at him without any words. "If not, I guess we will have to change it.."
"No!!" The Barbarian guy who had complained earlier scread, and the others followed.
How the hell could they let it go after seeing sothing so freaking cool?!!!
Hell!! What was that?!!
"Is there still anyone with a problem?" Billy asked with a smile as he looked at the people around.
How could anyone object now?
If they did, they might even be beaten by the rest of the class.
From this even today, Leo's image had imdiately gone soaring up into the sky.
Even an idiot could tell that level of control wasn't achieved in a day.
Too bad for them, even though Leo hadn't achieved in days, it was still within months.
He had Arthur with him after all.
….
The next day, Leo's video of his rope dance had gone viral.
So just mocked it as re tricks, but a lot knew how dangerous a person who knew these tricks could be in a battle.
"This guy…" Duke looked at the footage with his eyes gleaming in a strange light.
…
The next few days passed in calm..
It was very unexpected, everyone had thought that Sections C would cause trouble but it didn't happen.
The normal routine continued for Leo.
Studying and Training.
He had even decided on his next product to craft, as Yuji's invention of prototype model was finally coming to an end, and then he would have the working room for himself. For now, he was trying to understand the product's characteristics and search for materials required to make it.
He was really excited to make this new product.
And, his Parasite Heart was almost ford as well.
With that two weeks had passed with peacefully.
"Finally!!" Leo clenched his fist excitedly.
It was ford.
His Parasite Heart had ford!!
