Not a happy go bunch

Just as the man behind Leo was going to lay his hands on Leo, Clint stood in the middle without uttering a word. After seeing Clint's firm stance and his body, the man stopped in his tracks and retracted his hands.

"We seven are normal students in the academy. Who might you seven be, you don't seem to be so friendly?" Leo sipped on the juice slowly without even bothering to look behind.

"Huh?"

"You don't know us!?" The only girl in the other group asked in an arrogant manner to which Sai immediately said "No", without thinking much.

"What relation do you have with Miss Riana?" The one behind Leo asked in a sturdy manner.

"What is it to you?" Reeva copied Leo and sipped some juice as she crossed her legs arrogantly.

"Stop being an arrogant bitch just because you became the centre of attraction." Just as the other seven started to rile up their Qi, Leo got up from his chair and turned around.

"I don't know you, neither does my team. According to rules, you are prohibited from using Qi here. If you are really going to break the rules, just get it done quickly, we have something to talk with Professor Riana." Leo sipped the last few drops of juice as he said what he wanted to.

"..."

"I guess you seven aren't going to break any. In that case, we have somewhere we need to be." leo passed by the man in front of him as if there was no one there and was immediately followed by the other six with Clint walking by his side.

"Those seven are bad news, one way or another. Why do they even pick fights with everyone? They picked one with us even though we did nothing." Leo said out loud as he led his group towards the classroom.

"The reason is pretty simple. They are drunk with power and thirsty for attention. They pick fights with any and every as long as they think it will make others fear them." Ian had his usual nonchalant face as he answered casually.

"How do you know that?" Sai asked curiously.

"Cause I inquired about the seven earlier."

"When did you do that!? Weren't you always with us." Sai was impressed as well as surprised seeing Ian, who always seemed like he had no interest in anything actually investigated something.

"I do talk with others in the breaks, don't I? I like to gather information. I was called the info hunter back in my school on earth."

"..."

"It's hard to see you in that new light." Leo commented slowly as he looked at Ian.

"The Trio, do you have any information about them?"

"The trio are cousins, they are the children of three different Lords who are actually brothers, triplets to be exact. Their fathers govern three neighbouring cities called the trio while the fathers of the other seven govern the neighbouring seven cities." Ian informed in a serious tone but his face remained as usual.

"The seven lords are exploiting their people while the other three lords are denying to cooperate. And that the reason why the seven gang up on the Trio." Sai concluded as he looked at Leo.

"What are you thinking Leo?" Sai asked as he turned to face Leo. Leo was lost in thoughts and was walking absent mindedly towards the classroom.

"Sai." Leo suddenly called out.

"yeah?"

"You once asked if we were going to turn a blind eye to everyone and I didn't give you an answer that day, right?"

"Yes."

"Well, I have an answer for you now." Leo had a smirk on his face as he concluded and calmed the storm in his mind.

"So, this is the training ground. Damn, it's as huge as a football ground." Sai exclaimed as he looked around the training ground. The training ground was filled with mud and had thousands of spectator seats around it just like any stadium. There was a five metres wall enchanted with many spells separating the seats and the ground.

"Woah, I got to say, this is awesome!" Erina rotated looking the whole training ground before exclaiming.

"This is T-2, the second training ground in the academy Sai." Ian reported with his face showing no visual changes.

"How many more similar grounds are there in the academy?" Sai asked curiously.

"Four in total excluding this one, T-1, T-3, T-4 and T-5."

"You live up to your nickname Ian. Hehe" Erina patted Ian's shoulders as she appeared behind him.

"Just so that you remember, the Templar has a map. Knowing this isn't a big deal, it's only common sense. You three try to memorize the map too." Ian suggested as he turned around to which everyone nodded.

"Hey, Aiko." Sai called out suddenly.

"I don't see you talking much, why so? We have been together for weeks now. Are you still not comfortable with us? I can understand Clint though, he talks with his actions rather than his mouth." Sai raised an eyebrow as he looked at Aiko.

"Umm. I am just silent by nature. I never talked too much back on earth either." Aiko laughed awkwardly as she corrected her glasses.

"Class fall in!" This was the training chief, Razor.

Immediately, all the 63 students stood in a line looking straight at Razor. The 63 students were stiff devoid of any movement except Erina who leaned forward after a few seconds to gaze at the rest of the students.

'Erina, stand still!' Sai, Ian and Aiko were shouting in their mind but were unable to voice their thoughts as they were not supposed to.

"You." Razor pointed his finger towards Erina after seeing her break her stance.
