Chapter 2

Now at the principals office.

“Hello mr rivera, and mr sanders. Im kate burbox, this schools principal.” the school principal said, sitting on her chair, staring at them

The principals office was clean and wide, though with many stuff from many competitions and other things. As hera was also standing right beside her.

“im leonardo rah rivera, glad to see you maam.” leo said, bowing with respect

“ha! So we now know your name, so what?!” sanders said, still being angry while sitting on his chair

“thats enough mr sanders!” kate said, angrily slamming her desk. “I will have you two explain yourselves! After your homeroom teacher also explains herself!” she said before she looked at hera

Hera then explained herself, on what really happened.

“so, what will you say now mr sanders?” kate said

“why me? Im just being friendly towards the teacher!” sanders said

“is that true miss hera?” kate said, which hera also silently denied. “your teacher says its mr sanders fault, is that true mr rivera?” kate said as he now looks at leo

“yes, and I was only there to save her, when no one had the balls to stop him.” leo said

“stop me?! just what are you? Some hero or something?” sanders said

“no, im not. But with great power, always come with great responsibility and sacrifice.” leo said, being serious, and with kate being a bit surprised

“ha! From what movie is that? I havent heard that line in any movie!” sanders said

“nope, but it’s a classic quote. You should really read or know more.” leo said nonchalantly

“as if I will! My parents just put me in school, so that I can make friends and connections to other big names! And most of all, your not the boss of me!” sanders said angrily

“nope, but at least I know im better than you.” leo said, smirking

“what?!” sanders said as he stood up again and was about to punch leo

“stop that, right now! Mr brian sanders! Or I will have you expelled immediately!” kate said immediately, in a commanding voice

“tch!” brain said, frustrated, before he sat again

“And you mr rivera, don’t just provoke him!” kate said, with a commanding voice

“yes maam. But sometimes, wild animals must be taught a lesson before being tamed themselves.” leo said, with a serious face

“you think you are all hot stuff?!--” brian said before he got interrupted by kate

“shush boy!” kate said again, to quiet him down, before facing leo again. “anyways, I thank you mr rivera, for somewhat saving miss hera. Although this and that are two different things! Even if you might have saved her, causing trouble is another story!”

“yes maam, though I only did it to maintain order in the class.” leo said respectfully

“i know.. and since you two are still freshmen, I will assign you two to cleaning duty! Right now!” kate said again with a commanding voice, and being serious

“yes maam.” the both of them agreed

“i will have sir tank ohare guard you two, in case if any of you will make trouble again.” kate said, before dismissing them

After their visit to the principal, they both were now cleaning the whole school yard, where it has the most leaves from the trees all around it.

“why am I stuck being your guards?” tank said, as he sighs while sitting at the bench

Tank ohare was a cool looking teacher, which also has mysterious vibes to him. And both students were now in gym clothes, and have already brushed so many leaves by the time tank said that. Though he always notices brain looking angrily at leo from time to time, he just doesn’t have a care for either of them. Aside from some girls that were somewhat waiting at the side, that looked as if wanting to talk to either of them.

“alright, that’s enough. Its already high noon, so you kids better eat now.” tank said as he dismisses them both, before standing up himself. “looks like you have visitors mr rivera.” he then said after reaching out to leo, and before he walks away with one cool wave goodbye

“tch! So long to you!” brain said as he drops the trash bag near leo, and before he walks away too

“hahh..” leo sighed as he grabs on to his share of trash bags, struggling to carry it all

Seeing this, the girls then approached leo.

“let us help you leo.” lica said, as she was at the center of the group

“sure!” leo said, reasured

“so, just what happened in the principals office?” said one of the girls who helped with carrying all of the trash bags.

“i think we all agreed not to talk about the incident nikki.” lica said, a bit annoyed

“haha! Just curious, that’s all. And im nikki maple taym. You cal also call me nikki by the way.” nikki said with a bright smile, a gal character within the group, before they all start to depart towards the garbage area

“and im rena absol flora, and you can also call me rena if you want.” rena said, blushing, while stroking her glasses, being a bit tsundre and all. "i want to thank you for what u have done earlier."

"oh! So you are the one who stood up at the time." leo said while walking

"yes, though ashamed that i couldnt do anything else about the situation." rena said

"dont worry about it!" a girl assured her, as the rest of the girls agreed as well

"i mean, there wasnt anything else that we can do about it anyways." nikki said

"i know. Thanks girls." rena said, reassured, and back to her old self

"and the boys were also totally useless back there, just staring as if watching a movie or something." nikki said

"have you girls heard of delayed response in fight or flight?" leo said, and the girls also said no. "well, in normal situations, something like that wouldnt happen. Though i dont know what might be his issue."

"i see.. Though he shouldnt be like that, specially to girls." lica said as the arrived at the garbage area

"well, he must have his reasons for it. If not, then he would just be an idiot." leo said as the dropped the trash bags in the area

"whatever the case, what he did was unforgivable. Hes now an enemy to all girls." nikki said as the girls also agrees

Leo could only smile a bit, at their protest.

"anyways, lets all head back, im starving." leo said, and the girls agreed. "and jist when did you girls get close with each other?" he added

"just now. Right girls?" lica said as the girls agree and laughed a bit

After eating lunch with the girls, he then changed back to his uniform and they all got back to the classroom.

"its now the cosmic era in the year 3072, where man has now gone to mars and beyond. Where distant alien races now visit this planet, after a joint long war against the krood, an intergalactic sentient human like specie of what earth knows as "cockroaches". The krood has sizes from big, to child like size, which is both intelligent and agile, as it also has the same strength as humans. Where they also have a queen for each colony, which is said to be nearly immortal, as its also vulnerable and immovable. Just like earths roaches and ants. So question: when did the war start and ended?" hera said, as she was explaining history to them. "Lets say.. Miss misto."

"yes maam, the war started around 2040, which humans by then now had the ability to travel towards mars. And it all ended in the year 3022." lica said after she stood up

"correct. You may now be seated." hera said before lica sat down. "in 2035, humans now had the ability to travel towards mars, and the colonization was just starting. When suddenly, the people in mars was under attack by the krood, and their weapons were a bit useless against them. Then within 2 years, a transmission was received on earth from mars of the tragedy. The next few years was also made, to prepare for the invasion, all before the great krood war started. Its now 50 years ever since the krood war ended, which resulted in many casualties, and due to hesitations on each nation to unite or use nuclear arms. And even if they had used their nuclear arms, the krood also had their defense barriers, and even sacrifices their people to shield their mothership. Question.. Just how did the krood attack us?--" hera said before leo interrupted

"they attacked us by waves. So when one war was done, another was coming 3 or 5 years after. So the people back then had no other choice but to proceed with hastening scientific progress, and sometimes unite, in order to catch up and defeat the krood. Who was also a bit more advanced than them, and can travel from the stars itself. Then after 20 years, the another alien came, a spidol or a sentient human like spider alien, and negotiated upon earths leaders and explained the whole situation. That the krood are many in number, and exists around the galaxy. So the only option was to be in an alliance with other species in the galaxy, to protect it from the krood invasion."

"wow! great answer! As if you knew what really happened that time!" hera said as she applauded

As the whole class applauded, they really didnt know what will happen in the future, and on who leo really is inside.
