Protagonist?Antagonist? I Reject Both - Chapter 312: Meeting Su Lin Again
Led by Argent, Leon walked over to the stands alongside Gwen but in the middle, his body halted on hearing whispers.
The stand was open-stand, and it was crowded and filled with groups of people.
Warriors have good eyesight so his face was easily visible. The first ones to react were the human students mostly from Elysium.
Some of them attended Seph’s wedding, so they’re a live witness to his horror. Their bodies trembled and some even passed out in fear.
Others were afraid because, on the first day, he knocked down Su Hao spreading his fearsome reputation.
Moreover, the effective area of his Draconic eyes had increased a lot, making everyone looking at him tremble.
With a single glance, Leon caught the sight of several protagonists.
He couldn’t help but smile heartily and tried curbing his excitement as his aura burst forth exerting an invisible pressure on everyone who met his glance.
“Oh my my! We have so many golden gooses here…”
”Interesting.”
Elves, minotaurs, dwarves, beasts….
There were many of them.
He wasn’t interested in everyone cause he knew that out of many only a handful of them would survive as they would soon try to bite one another.
Anyone with power was bound to be arrogant and wouldn’t be bowing before others so most of them would be likely to be going over each other’s throats.
However, the more he looked around, his smile suddenly turned into a frown as he found some missing.
‘Huh! Why can’t I find a single villain?’
‘Is it because it was so crowded or is there none?’
Leon scratched his neck in confusion and then turned towards the instructors and other people in stand in case of finding someone but just then…
As Leon stood amidst the murmurs and the bustling crowd, his heart skipped a beat when he spotted Su Lin.
“Miss Su!”
Amidst the chaos, she stood out with her eyes locked onto his with a mix of longing and relief.
With a sudden burst of energy, she darted through the sea of people, closing the distance between them in seconds.
When Su Lin reached him, she threw her arms around him in a tight embrace, her warmth enveloping him like a comforting blanket.
Leon’s senses flooded with memories long suppressed, emotions he had tried to bury deep within himself. Yet in that moment, they surged to the surface but his body responded as he widened his arms to catch her.
Leon was too stunned to speak while Su Lin was quite overwhelmed at the moment.
Leon even heard the faint choking sound of murmurs coming from her.
“Did you miss me?”Leon asked, wrapping his arms around her.
“UMMMM!”Su Lin murmured, stuffing her face on Leon’s chest.
“Yeah, I missed you a lot..”
Leon, then remembering something, asked, “Is your brother all right…”
The atmosphere became strange all of a sudden.
Gwen who was at the back almost stumbled hearing this.
‘What the hell? Why is my brother so dense?’
Su Lin peeked up her head and nodded, “Yes, he is alright? It is just a minor neck injury. He will be right. Thanks for showing him mercy. ”
Gwen sighed, shaking his head.
‘This girl had fallen too deep to get out.’
Leon was about to say something when he heard a stern voice.
“What is this going on?”
“Su Lin, what is this insolent behavior?”
A loud angry voice shook everything in the stands.
The people standing gave away, and a middle-aged man roared angrily.
“This stand is for instructors and even many young cadets are watching here.”
“You are an instructor yet you are embarrassing yourself. What will others learn from this? This is a breach of decorum…You need to be punished and you bastard, just see how I will deal with you.”
Hearing this, many also nodded.
“Yes, I agree…”
“This man should be punished.”
“I have never seen him here..So he must have trespassed to meet Miss Su.”
Su Lin was one of the youngest instructors and many were displeased with her posting thinking of her as a flower base yet she was quite popular with young men earning the nickname Flower of Military Academy.
Some even tried to make moves on her but all of them were rejected.
Now seeing their goddess in the arms of a man, their blood boiled and they wanted to get back on that handsome.
Su Lin’s face paled and she immediately moved to make some distance but Leon held her arms giving the middle-aged man an amused look.
“Who are you?”
“I am Eryk…One of the Senior Instructors?”
“OH! Do you know who I am?”Leon asked, raising his brows.
“What!”The man shouted, folding his hands.
“Are you gonna threaten me using your status as Young Master?”
“Naive young shithead..Who only knows how to scare others using their status and family power. Listen, boy, you won’t last lon..”
“Leon!”
Leon controlled his wild thoughts from taking over and decided to finish this matter.
“Leon..Wha..”Eryk froze for a moment, feeling the name quite familiar.
Next moment…
BOOM!
Like an eruption from the volcano, a heavy burst of power exploded from Leon startling everyone.
The air became suffocated and gravity seemed to have become many times stronger. The stands started shaking and the air bellowed with the atmosphere getting dyed in crimson.
“Leon…That’s my name…”
Eryk’s eyes opened wide as he suddenly remembered something.
“Leon..The Demon…”
“AH!”
“It’s him…It is him…”
Screams of terror erupted one after another.
Voices choked in everyone’s throats after all only the ignorant might not be aware of the person.
The man who killed…no, the man who trampled 4 Saints in a single day and wreaked havoc.
At first many thought it was a lie but then a warning was issued by the Federation releasing the footage of the fight.
Everyone was given an order from above that whatever may happen but don’t provoke this shithead otherwise….
Leon gave a sinister smile.
“Do you know why you are alive now?”
Eryk tried to speak but he found his lips trembling so all he could was shake his head.
“It’s because you are correct…”Leon let go of the pressure.
“I apologize…I am indeed wrong here. We shouldn’t be lovey-
dovey.”
A deep silence reigned that was broken by two screams.
And it came from Gwen and Su Lin whose jaws were opened wide.
“Le…Leon….Did you hit your head?”
