My Vampire System novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210 Will he help?

The words that had come out of Quinn’s mouth came as a surprise to all of them. This included even Vorden who felt like he was the closest to him.

"Why would you suggest that?" Vorden said. "Leo is a sergeant, and although he isn’t under Duke, he is under Nathan, who is ultimately under Paul, the head general. It’s clear that Leo is working for them or at least he takes his direct orders from them."

It was a simple deduction that Vorden had made, and it would be right to assume so. But Quinn didn’t believe it.

"Well, maybe I can change your mind about him," Quinn said. "First of all, I’m pretty sure he knows I’m a vampire; let me change that. I’m a hundred percent sure he knows I’m not human, and the same could be said for Fex and Peter."

"Wait a minute," Erin called out. "Is that why he gives you special treatment. It’s starting to make sense now that I think about it."

"I’m not sure about that one," Quinn said, letting out a chuckle. "But I’m sure his ability has something to do with it. He knew I was different from the beginning and has safeguarded my secret until this day. Leo is different from the other teachers. He once asked me something, inquiring about whose side I was on. It started to make me think and wonder about a couple of things."

Leo himself doesn’t align with the military; he is on the side of humanity. This was what he was checking up on with me that day. As long as there is a threat to humanity, he will protect us."

Logan then quickly hopped onto his computer and started to type away, checking to see if there was any information he could bring up on Leo, if at all.

"So, is this a hunch?" Vorden inquired. "Isn’t it too risky to go on this journey just based on a hunch?"

"I too am in favour of talking to Leo; I think it is a good idea," Erin added. "I agree he’s different from the other teachers. Remember how he saved us from the Dalki attack that one time? And during our lessons, he would continuously give me tips about my swordsmanship. Also, it seemed he treated everyone the same, no matter what. The way he acted just doesn’t fit in with the way the world is right now. Usually, a teacher would choose to focus only on the promising students trying to please the upper ranks, but he never did anything of the sort.

"I respect him as a teacher, and if me leaving this place is based on whether or not we can trust Leo, then I would bet on him over any of the other teachers."

"Isn’t Leo the guy I fought with?" Fex said. "I mean if it’s him, he seemed like a pretty cool guy."

"I know, but we don’t go trusting people based on how cool they are," Vorden replied back.

"I guess you’re right," Fex replied. "Otherwise, you guys would have trusted me from the beginning, right?" He said as he swiped back a single strand of hair that had appeared in front of his face.

Once again, Logan projected the information about Leo onto the screen. Most of the news articles and information about Leo had to do with his accomplishments during the last war. He stood out due to the amount of Dalki he had managed to kill, despite being a lowly private at the time.

"Here you go," Logan said. "It looks like you might be onto something after all. It says Leo readily refused to join the military and only wanted peace after the war. However, he did agree to fight once again if the Dalki were to invade.

"At the time, Leo was a bit of a lone wolf who had refused to join any factions, including the Big Four. The military saw this as a chance to grab him up, but it proved difficult. In the end, Leo agreed at a request: he would join as a teacher.

"Judging by this, it is as you say; perhaps, he isn’t as closely aligned with the military as the others from here are."

It was a risk, and others knew it would be, but if Erin was happy to go through with it, then she should at least have some say in what they were planning to do with her.

Suddenly, Logan lept out of his chair and started to search around his room for some items. He went through crates and crates of stuff until he had finally found what was looking for. After pulling out the strange looking object, he went back to his computer to fiddle with a few more things.

A bright light started to show from the projector that had been used to display the holograms so far, it was now starting to display a solid wall of green.

"Which one of you is the best at acting here?" Logan inquired. The other’s didn’t know who to look at but eventually, they all directed their gazes to Vorden. Even Quinn didn’t know why he did this fully. But based on the numerous ways Vorden could express himself, he felt him to be the perfect fit for the task at hand.
