The Mech Lord

Glory Academy, Capital City.

Year 2B of MTP Class.

The class was half filled with students and the early birds had gathered around in small groups discussing things with each other.

A beautiful girl with purple hairs and similar colored eyes sat on the first row with her head down on her desk. She had a tightly fit training suit on her which went down to her thighs. She seemed pretty depressed about something and continuously sighed at short intervals.

"What's wrong Becky?" The girl beside her asked while looking at her. This girl appeared in a similar uniform but had a golden blond hairs with deep red eyes and when she smiled, her canines could be seen slightly protruding out of her mouth.

It was pretty obvious that she was a Vampire.

"Nothing, Serina…Its just that I haven't heard from Aiden in a while and now the rumors going around is worrying me," Becky said as she sighed again.

"Well, I heard he is back in one piece," Serina replied and Becky's immediately lit up on hearing her and she immediately turned towards her.

"Are you sure about it? Why haven't I heard about it?" She asked in surprise and utter joy.

"Well, they must have tried to suppress the news for some reason," Serina shrugged as she didn't have any idea about it.

"Then the rumors must have been false right?" Becky asked looking at her.

"I don't know, I am not sure about it," Serina shook her head.

"I think the rumors are true though." A voice came from behind and the two turned around to see a guy who had a human figure but with the body of a bull.

It was a person from the Minotaur race.

"What do you mean by that Tor?" Becky asked him.

"Mam, I don't know if you have any idea about it or not. But that person is crazy and every body knows it as well. He can go to extreme lengths and we have seen him do it before. In that case, won't running away from home be a simple matter to him?" Tor asked with a smile.

"I can't help but agree with him, Aiden indeed is crazy." The littler person beside Tor who was the size of human's hand was Tor's best friend Zelfiem, a member of the Pixy race

"Zel is right, Mam. I think everyone in our class would agree with it," Tor further said with a nod and shook his giant head with horns.

"I think we should ask Sun if we want to know about Aiden, he is the only one who is able to keep up with Aiden's attitude," Zel calmly said as he flapped his wing and took off above to look for Sun but didn't manage to find him. "It seems he is absent today."

"Who else does he talk to if leave Sun aside?" Tor asked Serina and both her and Zel's faces turned towards Becky.

"I-I…umn… we are just rivals. I don't even have his number. I doubt if we are even friends or not," Becky said with a forced smile on her face.

When they heard that, they really felt it was the most ridiculous thing they had ever heard.

The two of them paired up together for the most of the P.E classes as the they were the only two people who had opted for spear as a choice of weapon in their section. So, it was obvious that they had a lot of interactions.

And for a second even if we forget about this matter, just who in hell would dare to deny her friendship? People die to just catch a glance at her!

"What are you talking about?" Serina looked at her with dumbfounded face. "You two were always a team, even during childhood, no matter which game we played you were always running after him and now you are saying that you don't even know if he is your friend or not?"

"We are not kids anymore. Everyone has changed," Becky shook her head.

"You are an idiot. Its obvious he considers you a friend if he tags with you every time he practice," Serina tried to get through her head.

"Isn't it just because he is a training freak and Miss Rebecca here is the strongest Spear user in our year?" Zel asked pouring a cold water on Becky's hopes of friendship.

Serina gave a glare to Zel and the little guy immediately turned quite realizing he must have said something wrong.

"It's not like that, Becky. I am sure he doesn't think like that." Serina tried to console her.

"But why do I feel Zel is right?" Becky asked with a dejected look on her face.

"Do one thing, the next time he arrives. Just stand in front of him. If he considers you a friend, he will stop and greet you for sure." Zel suggested as everyone greeted their friend in their own way after meeting them.

"Everyone does that to me, it doesn't matter whether they are a friend or not. After all, you know who I am don't you?" Becky said with a sigh.

"You will automatically realize if the greeting is from a friend or not, just try and we are here to judge as well," Zel said in a confident tone.

"Wait! Isn't that Aiden?" Tor suddenly asked with a frown as he looked towards the door. There was a guy who looked like Aiden but he seemed a bit different then usual and his hairs seemed to have changed color for some reason.

…

"Finally found it!" Leo muttered in joy as he reached the classroom. And as soon as he took a step in, most of the eyes in the classroom turned towards him and the place turned silent.

'Its kind of terriying..' He muttered inwardly feeling all those stares that were being directed at him. He tried to look around and see if anyone was inviting him or waving at him. But it seems Amelia was right, he didn't have a single friend as he didn't find any such person.

He slowly walked into the room under the gazes of the people and just avoided looking at them. He didn't know where he usually sat but in the current situation, he wanted observe and scan everyone in the class in order to remember their faces and name. So sitting in the corner seat at the back was the best option for him.

Leo quietly walked towards the back avoiding people's gaze.

...

"Do it.." Zel lightly muttered after recovering from the surprise of Leo's new look and turned to Becky. The girl nodded before slipping out of the seats and standing a bit towards the side of the desk, trying to be in Leo's way.

There was no way that he was going to miss her this way.

But people's eyes turned wide when the guy actually leaned towards the side and just went past her as if she was air.

Everyone was shocked by this, but for most of the people, it was due to another reason.

Aiden having such disregard for her presence was literally blasphemy towards Gloria's traditions.

After all, she was not just any girl, but the Princess of Gloria, Rebecca G.. Lynchfield.
