"May I come in, miss?"
Hearing this everyone's eyes turned towards the door where Leon was standing, his breath heavy, hair disheveled, clothes dirty, looking like he just came after a brawl.
His appearance confused Rio, as he couldn't understand where this guy got into a fight again. He had seen Zirix leaving the canteen behind him, so who did he fight?
Some students started whispering to each other as they noticed him, curiously talking about him, while miss Freya was just staring at him coldly.
"Why were you late?" Miss Freya asked, her tone straightforward and cold.
Leon, appearing somewhat flustered after looking at Miss Freya's face, glanced around nervously to hide his expression. His response was hesitant, as he managed to mutter "Uh, that—I'm sorry, miss. It won't happen again."
'This guy. Is he blushing?' Rio thought as he looked at Leon.
[He's a lost cause.] System said.
