Leo The Dragon Heir Chapter 39: PLEASE LEAVE
The cheers grew louder, but Leo could still spot a handful of disappointed faces. He left the arena with Jason by his side."That was the most epic match I've ever seen. The last time an alliance was made in the ring, it was Master Darwin, Master Varrick, and—""My mom?" Leo smirked."Exactly. You're already following in her footsteps. That's rich," Jason chuckled."She helped me first. I would have lost if not for her," Leo said immediately."I know... she was amazing," Jason replied, smiling blankly as he stared into the distance.Leo turned to look at his dazed friend. He smiled, wanting to say something but deciding not to."You did it, Leo!" Sydney exclaimed, grabbing him and Jason in a bear hug."I told you, didn't I?" Varrick remarked."That was the wildest thing I have ever done in my entire life," Leo admitted with a deep grin."That's only a piece of what's to come, my friend," Varrick assured him, folding his arms."You were great out there," Darwin finally spoke."Thank yo
Leo The Dragon Heir CHAPTER 40: THE PIZZA THEORY
Leo ran out of the classroom and hurriedly went to meet up with his family at the lobby of the principal's office. He played the last moments over and over again, like a broken record player, trying hard to figure Sylvia out. Indeed, the famous saying was true in every timeline: "If you can understand why a pizza is made in a circle, placed in a square box, and eaten as a triangle, then you can understand women." Although he knew it was hard, Leo realized that understanding Sylvia now was close to impossible.Jason noticed his friend coming from across the hall and quickly called out, "Leo..." However, Leo was too lost in his thoughts to answer. Jason walked up to him, gave him a little nudge, and guided him to where his family sat."Leo, what's up with you?" he inquired after finally grabbing his attention."Nothing, I'm just... so excited," he fibbed, giving an awkward smile.Jason noticed that something wasn't right but decided to lighten the mood before Leo went in for his interv
Leo The Dragon Heir CHAPTER 41: DRAGONS
They rode for what seemed like hours before reaching the best ice cream bar in all of Ivandale. Only the best for such a special occasion. They all ordered their favorite ice cream and sat at a table, eating happily.However, Sir Reginald showed up at the ice cream bar, and Darwin, Varrick, and Sydney decided to join him for a while out of courtesy, leaving Jason and Leo alone.Leo still fiddled with his humping pumpkin-flavored ice cream, while Jason's bowl of fiery vanilla was already half-empty."Are you sure you're okay?" Jason inquired yet again, looking at the bits of melted ice cream."Yes, I'm perfectly fine," Leo replied with a subtle smile."It's alright if you don't want to tell me," Jason sighed, taking another bite of his ice cream."Jason, don't do that," Leo cried, rolling his eyes."Do what?" Jason asked, almost cluelessly."The emotional blackmail.""I did no such thing. Maybe it's just your conscience," Jason said casually, staring intently at Leo and shattering his
Leo The Dragon Heir Chapter 42: ANAYA
Leo ran all around the house, trying to prep for school. His alarm hadn't gone off—apparently, he didn't even have one. The wild ride from yesterday had temporarily rid them of the strenuous activity called a "school run." All hands were on deck at this moment: ironing, bathing, cooking—doing everything humanly possible to get Leo ready before Jason could arrive."Here's breakfast," Sydney said, handing him a plate."Thank you so much," Leo replied, chowing down the bread and jam."First day of school. Are you nervous?" Darwin asked.Leo simply shook his head. "I'll be fine."Jason came in moments later, dressed in his navy-blue uniform, his hair neatly combed and nothing out of order."What are you still doing, Leo?" he asked."Just having a few more bites of my breakfast. I promise I'll be done in the next five minutes," Leo assured him."We don't have five minutes. The school gates close at exactly eight o'clock, and the ogres won't let us in, no matter our status," Jason remarked.
Leo The Dragon Heir Chapter 43: WHO WROTE THIS?
They finally got to a wooden door with the words "Student Affairs" marked boldly on it. Jason gently tapped the door twice. They waited for the words "come in" before Jason led them into the office. Jason explained to the lady in charge that Leo and Anaya were there for school uniforms.Anaya barely listened to what he said, focusing instead on the lady he spoke to. She appeared to be in her early sixties; her beauty was still apparent, with just a few wrinkles here and there. Strands of white tainted her once-strawberry blonde hair. Her face was plump, and her cheeks held just the right shade of rosy.Anaya was finally shaken from her trance when she was handed her uniform."This is for you, Miss Anaya," the lady said.Anaya hardly realized that Jason had even helped her with the final application needed to collect the uniform. She simply bowed and said, "Thank you, ma'am." Giving the woman one last glance, she turned to the boys who had escorted her."I'll see you two later," she an
Leo The Dragon Heir CHAPTER 44: TINK
They got in a few minutes late, but luckily for them, the teacher hadn’t arrived yet.“That was close. The punishment for tardiness is no light matter,” Jason remarked.Leo looked at his nerdy friend and chuckled slightly before resting his head on the desk. Their fellow classmates were taking full advantage of the teacher’s absence—laughing, playing, and engaging in other frivolous activities. Except, of course, Anaya, who sat quietly in a corner, sharpening one of her pencils over and over.Jason occasionally stole glances at her, but she seemed to barely notice him—or anything else for that matter.The teacher finally entered the classroom, her presence commanding absolute silence. She was a woman in her early thirties with bright green eyes and red hair. Freckles adorned her cheeks, enhanced by a soft, rosy hue. She wore a floral dress and muddy rain boots, looking as though she’d just walked off a farm.Removing her yellow rubber gloves, which were smeared with mud, she apologize
Leo The Dragon Heir Chapter 45: ANOTHER LANGUAGE
Jason walked into the classroom and stood by Leo, glancing at the empty seats. “Leo, our next class is about to start. Can we go?” he asked.“Yeah, of course,” Leo responded, still a little shaken by Sylvia’s sudden disappearance.“Good,” Jason replied before they left the class.They had finished their classes for the day, yet Sylvia was nowhere to be found. Leo was unusually quiet and hadn’t said a word since they left the classroom. Crossing the school gates, Jason saw a rather familiar face and exclaimed in shock, “Master Darwin?”Leo looked up the moment he heard Jason’s words and followed his gaze. “Master Varrick?” he called out as they ran up to their carriage.“What are you both doing here?” Leo inquired.“We came to pick you up. It’s your first day of school,” Darwin explained, ruffling their hair.“Can we go, please?” Sydney interrupted as her head popped out of the window.The boys leaned on the window’s edge and flashed their most charming smiles.“Miss Sydney,” Jason sai
Leo The Dragon Heir Chapter 47: KITSUNE
"I'm tired of school already," Leo said as he lazily walked through the halls. "This is just your second day here," Jason scoffed. "I know, it's insane." "You're a lost cause," Jason sighed, walking ahead of him. "Hey, wait for me," Leo pleaded, quickening his pace to catch up. A man walked into the class just as the boys took their seats. He introduced himself as Mr. Syrin and explained that the class would be learning a unique language. He scribbled a few symbols on the board and began, "Today, we will be talking about the Kitsune, an ancient tribe of fox spirits. Often, but not exclusively, female, they are said to have powers such as shape-shifting, and their power is symbolized by an increase in the number of their tails. Can anyone read this?" "Yes, miss, give it a go," he said, pointing to Anaya. "It says, 'Life beyond what is seen,'" Anaya answered confidently. A few snickers came from students who hoped she had gotten it wrong. The teacher looked slightly shocked for

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
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 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
