Meeting Leon & Two Battles

"I think it's time to meet Leon," Arin murmured as he began walking back to the main Academy building.

On the way, he told Seraphine what Riya did and about the girl who smirked at him.

She was still training in his room when those things happened, so she wasn't aware.

"The look in Riya's eyes when she stared at you was suspicious, huh?" Seraphine whispered.

"This just confirms two things," she added.

"What?" Arin asked as he reached the building and began heading towards the hallway.

"Firstly," Seraphine began, "she surely knows something. And this excuse she gave your sister and classmates was helpful. If not, you would have been getting thoroughly questioned right now."

"But," Seraphine continued, "we don't know why she helped you. We don't know if there's a hidden motive behind it or if she's doing it to gain something."

"Hmm," Arin murmured as he furrowed his brows. "That's true."
