14 Why Did You Skip My Class? (1/2)

On the weekend, there were no classes at Crawford University, but its facilities are open for student's use. Students normally come on the weekends for either private studies, research or club activities.

Leon had dropped by Royal hospital earlier and fed his foster father an All-Purpose Healing Pill. It had worked wonders and Brian had mostly recovered from his injuries within minutes and could be discharged. However, Leon wouldn't be able to explain to the doctors how his foster father had recover so fast, so he decided to continue letting Brian rest in the hospital for now.

Brian was pleasantly surprised at how mysterious and capable Leon had suddenly become. He was initial in shocked of being treated at the Royal hospital knowing full well how costly it was compared to the local medical center. Leon had already assured him that everything had already been paid for by him and that Brian didn't need to worry as it was legitimate money earned by him although the details weren't explained.

'Kid's will grow to have their own secrets.' Brian thought.

He had felt the medical efficiency of the pill and it wasn't something he thought was possible. Leon had after all, used spirit herbs from his world space and not the normal herbs he had collected from the Cromwell's vault. The effects between spirit herbs and normal herbs are like the difference between heaven and earth, worlds apart.

Leon was currently now browsing through the list of books in the Library. All students enrolled to the University are free to browse the books provided by the library. However, they would have to pay a fee and record their name and item if they wish to take it outside the library.

Leon was mainly interested in books pertaining to history and the world. As he browsed the books in the history section, there was numerous books with simple but interesting titles that caught his eyes. [Battle for Humanity], [Changes of the World], [History of Humanity] and [Discovery of Ancient Ruins].

The [Discovery of Ancient Ruins] book had especially caught his eyes. He wanted to take the book for a look but someone else had beat him to the chase. Unexpectedly, it was his history teacher, Lina Greene.

Lina realized another hand was stretched towards the book she had grabbed and traced the hand's source through the arms with her eyes before resting on Leon's face and was startled. Her startled expression did not last long before it quickly changed into a frown after realizing who it is.

”Why did you skip my class?”

Leon was taken aback by her first choice of words to him. It couldn't be helped that he didn't attend any of his classes yesterday. He had important things to do.

”I was busy…?” Leon wasn't sure what else to say.

”You skip my class because you were too busy and yet I find you in the history book section? Sounds like a poor excuse. Were my lessons too boring you?”

Leon frowned in thought. He just wanted to learn more about the world, and she may not necessarily teach what he wanted to know in class, not to mention her class only goes for two hours. It wasn't enough to cover the information he wanted to know in a short time.

When Lina saw Leon's frown, she instantly flinched, thinking back to Leon's previous violence with the thugs.

”S-sorry…Did you want to look at this book first?” Her dominating teacher aura seem to have sudden dissipated as she turned into a timid little girl and she apologized and offered the book in her hand slowly with some unwillingness.

Leon was amused at her sudden change in attitude and chuckled as he shook his head. He wasn't frowning because he was unhappy with her words or anything. He just seems to have developed a tendency to frown when he is in thought.

”No, it's fine. There are other books I can read.” Leon said with a light smile as he reached out to grab the [Changes of the World] book that was next to where the [Discovery of Ancient Ruins] book was.

However, his actions and words didn't seem to match his previous impression of him and seemed scarier to her instead as retracted her hands and subconsciously stepped back.

”Look, I was just grabbing the book okay?” Leon waved the book in his hand, ”Am I really that scary to you? You even hugged me and wailed the other day.”

Lina was reminded of that night and blushed.

”You're not allowed to mention that night!” Lina gripped her spare hand into a fist and said with false anger, making her look particularly cute and her previous apprehension dissipated as Leon appeared to be very easy going this time.

That night had been a traumatic experience for her, but the way Leon mentioned only made her embarrassed and not disturbed by the event. She felt Leon was very reliable and felt safe around him, although she didn't notice this before.

She was a bit puzzled from her past interactions with Leon. She felt he was like a different person in each of her encounter with him and yet he seems to be the same. It was an odd feeling.

'Maybe this is the real him and the one he usually displays in class was just a facade to stay low key?' she thought.

However, Leon would have protest if he could read her mind.

'If I was low key before, how could I be attracting such animosity that a person wanted me dead?' is what he would have thought.

Unfortunately, they were two people of different wavelengths and couldn't read each other's thoughts. A woman's mind had always been an enigma unable to be comprehended by men.

”Hahaha I won't mention it anymore, so put away that big fist before you hurt someone with it.” Leon joked as he surrendered his arms up in an exaggerated manner.

Pft* Lina laughed.

”Yeah my fist is really big and dangerous. Be careful not to get on my bad side.” She threatened him with her small this.
