Leo The Dragon Heir CHAPTER 76: THE REAL FUN WILL BEGIN
Anaya kept increasing her pace with each step, not bothering to spare the young lad who struggled to keep up with her. Unable to take it anymore, he quickly overtook her. "Have you been avoiding me?" Chris asked, staring at her with furrowed brows after finally catching his breath. Anaya simply glared at him, arms folded. "And why would I do something like that?" she replied plainly. Chris blinked twice at her question, clearly lost for words. "I don’t know. You tell me," he stuttered, slowly folding his arms as well. Anaya rolled her eyes. "You’re not someone I find worth avoiding," she said with a sarcastic smile. As she opened the door in front of her, she added, "I hope that answers all your questions." "You don’t—" "Girls' bathroom," Anaya interrupted, pointing at the black lady symbol above the door. She casually shrugged and closed the door behind her. Chris hung his head low and chuckled heartily. "Well played, Princess." Hearing his words from the other side of the do
Leo The Dragon Heir CHAPTER 77: RESTRICTED AREA
Break was long over, and Jason, Leo, and Anaya were heading to their next class when they bumped into a familiar face. "Hey, Seb..." Anaya said, beaming at his perfectly rimmed glasses. She noticed the girl smiling brightly next to Sebastian. With a slight nod, she said, "Sylvia." "Where were you yesterday?" Sebastian asked, clearly curious, as it was something everyone else had been wondering. Anaya blinked twice and looked around to see her friends staring at her with eyes eager for answers. "My grandmother said I needed a break from school, so she let me sleep in," Anaya replied plainly, clearly leaving out the fact that she was forcefully put to bed by her grandmother’s sleep spell. They looked at each other, a little shocked that none of them had guessed the scenario correctly. "Oh..." they all said simultaneously. "You were looking for me..." Anaya said, and although she was pointing at Sebastian, everyone around her nodded vigorously. "All of you?" Anaya asked, her eyes
Leo The Dragon Heir CHAPTER 78: WOAH ...
"Whoa," Leo muttered under his breath when he saw strands of his hair that had fallen to the ground. Jason rolled his eyes and lazily sat on the cold ground, leaning his back against a shelf before he said, "It's called a restricted area for a reason. It's off-limits to every student at Scarlet High. The school board even made sure to put an enchantment on this place so no one could get in. We need to be careful. Any misstep can be fatal." Leo and Anaya looked at him with slight frowns. "Didn't think to lead with the fatal part," Leo remarked. "You didn’t let me finish," Jason said casually, even adding a little shrug. Anaya looked back at where the arrow had hit. The arrow slowly faded away, leaving behind a huge dent. But, not much to her surprise, the dent closed up, looking almost as good as new. She had seen the same thing happen when she scratched a table in the library with her pen out of anger. She looked at it again, and it simply vanished—almost as if it had never happe
Leo The Dragon Heir CHAPTER 79: MM-HMMM....
The time dispersed once the moon was fully out. They were looking battered and bruised and feeling even worse. The boys reached their home later than anticipated, so they made sure not to alarm their guardians upon their arrival. After sneaking out some ice from the kitchen, they quickly freshened up and started to tend to whatever wounds they may have acquired on their little escapade."What a waste of time," Leo muttered as he pressed some ice to his forehead."Tell me about it. That book is harder to crack than the first one," Jason sighed softly, placing bandages on his cuts.Leo placed the ice in his hands on the table and raised an eyebrow slightly. "Harder to crack? There's nothing there. Even Anaya couldn't see anything in that book.""You're probably right," Jason said with a bittersweet smile before placing the ice back on Leo's head.Sydney and Darwin walked in moments later, their bright smiles falling once they saw the state Leo and Jason were in."What happened to you tw
Leo The Dragon Heir CHAPTER 80: DEREK AGAIN?!!
The day was bright and sunny. Smiles and laughter could be heard all day long, yet Leo, Jason, and Anaya wore agitated expressions on their faces, their arms crossed, and they could barely touch their lunch. Sylvia walked up to them with a bright smile on her lips. The way she swayed made it clear that she was still a little giddy from the excitement of her last lesson, earth manipulation. She placed the pretty pink box in her hand on the table. Sylvia quickly noticed the look on their faces and furrowed her brows, asking curiously, "Why the long faces...?" They didn't respond and just sighed simultaneously. Sylvia smiled and shook her head before opening the box she had brought and saying, "Cookies make everything better." The sweet aroma quickly enveloped them, indicating that the cookies were indeed freshly baked. The cookies broke easily, had a soft kind of crunch, and melted effortlessly in their mouths. "It's amazing," Jason said after taking his first bite. "Sent from the h
Leo The Dragon Heir CHAPTER 81: LOCKER 3B
"I can't believe Derek is on the team... OUR team. Pinch me, I must be dreaming," Jason said, clearly bummed out by what had just taken place. "Unfortunately, you're not dreaming, my friend. But how could he have gotten a spot? I thought tryouts were supposed to end before the first game," Leo said, clearly stating the obvious. "It's so unfair," Jason muttered sadly. They walked over to their next class, already freshened up but still saddened by their current ordeal. Coincidentally, they ran into Anaya in the hallway. Anaya took one look at them and knew that something wasn't right. "Explain," she said plainly, clearly not in the mood for any dilly-dallying. "Derek is on the school's rugby team now," Leo said immediately. "He is going to be playing with us all season," Jason added. "Isn't tryouts supposed to be over already?" Leo asked. One could tell that they were clearly tired of always having to deal with Derek and his intrusive behavior. Anaya chuckled slightly, catching
Leo The Dragon Heir CHAPTER 82: I KNOW WHAT I SAW
Jason furrowed his brows and remembered that this was the same place Anaya kept disappearing to. "You do know that we could be walking into a trap, right?" Jason said, taking a deep breath. With the number of enemies they were accumulating, it wasn’t far-fetched to think that the letter might not have been written by Anaya. Leo scoffed, rummaging through his bag. "That's why I brought our wands, genius," he said, waving the wands in front of Jason’s face. Jason shook his head at his childish behavior, not wanting to remind his friend that they barely knew how to use them. He looked at the locker and tapped it softly three times, exactly. They waited for a while, but nothing happened. Jason decided to try again, but it was the same result. "You’re not doing it right," Leo said plainly, causing Jason’s brow to furrow in annoyance. "What do you mean? That’s three solid taps right there!" Jason responded immediately. "You’re supposed to do it slowly." "I did!" Jason replied, his ag
Leo The Dragon Heir CHAPTER 83: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
"I’m so confused," Jason said immediately. "Why is the woman who gave us our uniforms here?" Leo asked, his words also laced with confusion. "Because she knows us," Anaya replied vaguely. "Of course she knows us; she gave us our uniforms," Leo said indifferently. Anaya let out a sigh and, after a moment of silence, said, "Okay, I guess we’re starting from the very beginning. Miss Tremont had been sneaking around us an awful lot; it was hard not to notice. So every time I would see her lurking, I’d follow her to see what she was up to. One day, I found her going into a secret room. Curiosity got the better of me, so I followed her—" "Are you serious?" Leo interrupted immediately, worry etched on their faces. "You could have been attacked or worse—" "Will you boys just let me finish?" Anaya snapped abruptly, cutting them off. The room fell silent once more, and Anaya took a deep breath, dusted the hem of her shirt, and continued. "Thank you... As I was saying, when I came in, I wa

CHAPTER 90: ONE OF THEM
They finally reached the open window but couldn't go in just yet. The principal was still in the room, and he looked livid. "Alright, Lady Sylvia, since you want to be difficult, let's see how smug you get when you're face-to-face with Miss Renee." Sylvia's face drained completely of color once the principal said those words. He grumbled a few more words and walked out in a huff. The sound of the door slamming made Sylvia jerk in fear. She looked incredibly pale, and her lips were cracked and had already started to bleed. Anaya's eyes softened slightly when she saw her, but looking at her palm again, she knew that she needed answers, and the sooner she got them, the better. They waited a few minutes before climbing in through the window. "Hello, Sylvia. How are you feeling?" Anaya asked, her attitude a little nonchalant. Sylvia quickly sat up, her body tensing and her eyes widening as she stammered, "What are you doing here? You can't be in here!" "Why? Something to hide, Sylvi
CHAPTER 89: LEAVE
"The principal went to see her. They probably think she's the one who did that to the field," Leo muttered, constantly pacing right outside the principal's office. Jason and Anaya gave each other meaningful glances, visibly trying to piece everything together. After Sylvia had fainted in front of them, they quickly rushed her to the school nurse. The school principal had gone in moments later, sweating profusely, with his eyes widened in shock. "Well, isn’t she?" Anaya asked sternly. "Of course not," Leo snapped, he never wasted any time when it came to defending Sylvia. Anaya swept her hands through her hair, her annoyance growing by the minute as she spoke. "My goodness, open your eyes, Leo. The evidence is overwhelming. Sylvia hasn’t been in school in days. I didn’t even see her at the gathering—did you?" she said, pointing at Jason. Jason tilted his head thoughtfully before slowly shaking his head. "Exactly. And then, the minute she shows up, she’s bruised and battered at
CHAPTER 88: A MESSAGE
The club festivities faded and the real party began in the school. They made their way into the school auditorium and noticed all that had been laid out. Music, amazing snacks, even a huge disco ball—the very best Scarlet Magic High School had to offer, and yet somehow someone didn't seem to like it. "This party is lame," Sebastian sighed, swirling his drink with a straw. "Not as lame as the ones royals throw," Leo remarked. Sebastian's eyes widened, his shock noticeable in his expression. He quickly turned to Jason, looking for some kind of validation. Royal gatherings had always been the talk of the kingdom; people who had the luxury of being in attendance just couldn't stop talking about it. Jason noticed Sebastian's gaze and slowly replied, "You'd be surprised." "That can't be true. Have you been to one, Anaya?" Sebastian asked, hoping she'd give him the answer he had been believing all his life. However, Anaya hadn't said a word for a long time. "Anaya? W..." Sebastia
CHAPTER 87: YOU SLY CREATURE
They turned heads everywhere they went, although the boys were almost certain that was Anaya's doing. The field was filled with various activities: chess, Pegasus riding, flame throwing, and much, much more. "So basically, all we need to do is choose a club," Jason said. "Mhmm, then the after party," Sebastian added excitedly. "Crazy..." Leo murmured when a centaur casually sashayed right by him. "Come on, let's check that out," Anaya said eagerly, dragging them toward the archery section. The person in charge of the spot had just released his bow, landing his arrow in a perfect bullseye. He turned to them, flashing his pearly white teeth, and said, "Impressive, isn't it?" Anaya scoffed at his words and rolled her eyes. "Anaya," Chris greeted with a deep grin. "Chris," Anaya replied flatly. "Leo, Jason, and Sebastian. Glad we're all caught up," Leo joked. Anaya rolled her eyes and smiled before turning to Sebastian. "This looks fun. Do you want to give it a shot?"
CHAPTER 86: LEPRECHAUNS DON'T DRESS LIKE THAT
Anaya assured Sebastian that they would definitely be in attendance, shocking both Leo and Jason. After hearing her assurance, Sebastian left for his classes, skipping happily. Jason looked at the flyer carefully and stared at Anaya with a raised brow. "You want to join a club?" Jason asked, passing the flyer to Leo. "Of course not," Anaya replied rather quickly. "Then why do you want us to go, especially when we have so much to d—" Anaya placed her index finger on Leo's lips and interjected, "Shh... enough with the book talk. I'm starting to think you both like this more than I do. Come to school tomorrow in your finest costumes, and don't even think of blowing me off." "Should we dress to match? Like one of us will be bread, one will be peanut butter, and the other will be jam?" Jason said excitedly, beginning to like the idea. "Hold on—who's the jam?" Anaya asked, her eyes widening in expectation. "And who's the bread?" Leo added, wrinkling his nose. He never seemed
CHAPTER 85: A DISTRACTION...
Anaya walked over to them after her long conversation with one of the classmates. This was the longest she had spoken to anyone other than Jason and Leo since she stepped foot into the school. She was still laughing heartily as she said, "You guys are not going to believe what happened to Mr. Fickletie Berry..." Her laughter slowly faded once she saw how drained they looked. "What happened to you two?" she asked, worry etched on her face. However, she received no reply, only aggrieved sighs. Anaya's frown deepened as she felt she was being given the silent treatment. "Look, are you guys still upset about the prank thing? I said I was sorry." "No, we're not upset, honest," Jason assured, waving his hands frantically. Anaya slowly nodded and replied, "Okay, good... But then, why do you both look like you're about to jump me?" Leo chuckled slightly at her comment, and Jason responded, without a sigh, "My dad made us scrub the ballroom floor when he found out that we were not in
CHAPTER 84: TRUST...
"Where have you two been?" Sydney asked again. The boys looked at each other in panic, both wondering if one of them had a reasonable and, most importantly, a believable answer. "Uhh..." they hummed simultaneously, a distressed smile forming on their faces. Sydney suddenly walked toward them abruptly. They closed their eyes, mentally preparing for a huge scolding, but instead, they felt the warmth of her arms wrap around them tightly. A sigh escaped her lips before she exhaled in one breath, "Do you know how worried we were? Alex had to send the guards out to look for you." "Look for us?" Leo asked, a little astonished. "Of course! And he didn't even send ordinary guards..." Sydney paused and looked around. The boys raised a brow at her odd movements but didn't think much of it. She leaned closer to them and whispered, "He sent the Red Claws." "What?!" Jason exclaimed in a similar hushed tone. "Who are the Red Claws?" Leo inquired, almost cluelessly. "I'll tell you later," Jason
