Capítulo 39: Why am I nick-named vicious murderer?!
"Leo?! Oswald?! What?! How?!" The teacher was at a loss for words after seeing Oswald and Leo, who used to be her favorite student until Oswald was admitted into this academy.
"I'll explain in a bit. Let's go, Oswald, and Leo" Miss Camille said as she entered the classroom with us following behind her.
When the students in the classroom saw Leo and recognized him, their eyes widened and their jaws dropped. After staring at Leo for a few seconds, they looked towards me. As soon as their eyes fell on me, many of them showed a scared expression and some were even shivering in fear.
Miss Camille stopped in the center of the classroom and faced the dazed students.
"I'm sure you already know them, but this is Leo. He was thought to be dead for the past three months, but he'd actually survived. However, he's suffering from amnesia, so he doesn't remember many things. This is Oswald and... And i don't think I need to explain you again..."
The entire classroom was dead silent.
"Seriously…? Leo is still alive?"
"Leave Leo. Why is Oswald back in our school?!"
"Right!! Wasn't the vicious murderer expelled from the school?!"
"Shh!! Don't call that nickname or you would disappear from this world!!"
The students eventually returned to reality and started mumbling to each other.
A lot of them expressed relief after seeing Leo's face, but some appeared worried for various reasons.
For Oswald, everyone had fear directly pasted upon their faces.
"You know where to go after you're done with all of your classes, right?" Miss Camille asked Leo, who quickly nodded his head.
"Good. I will see you then. Please guide Oswald also. He is new to school afterall"
And without saying another word, Miss Camille walked out of the classroom.
After Miss Camille left the class, the blond teacher came towards us.
After Leo asked for our seats, she pointed at two empty seats.
We thanked her and went on to the seat she pointed towards.
The blond teacher introduced herself as Miss Jasmine. She was the teacher of maths and English but unfortunately, none of the students had any interests in her classes.
The class lasted for exactly forty-five minutes.
At the end of the class, everyone is given a fifteen minute break while they wait for their teacher for the next period.
Professor Jasmine left the classroom and made her way straight to the teacher's lounge, and she exclaimed the moment she entered the room, "Everyone! I have big news! Oswald is alive!"
"Huh?"
All of the teachers currently in the room turned to look at her with raised eyebrows.
"Jasmine, by 'Oswald', are you talking about THAT Oswald? The one that died a couple of days ago?" One of the teachers asked for clarification.
"Yes! That Oswald! He's back!"
After a moment of silence, the room suddenly erupted with chaos when everyone there realized the meaning behind such words.
"I'll be damned! I knew that bastard wouldn't die so easily!"
"Hahaha! This is great news! I can't wait until the other academies find out about this!"
However, Jasmine interrupted their celebration with the following bad news, "I'm sorry to rain on your parade, but even though Oswald is alive, he doesn't remember anything."
"What? Who cares? As long as he remembers his family background, we're in the clear!" One of the teachers laughed.
"Right? That's the most important thing!"
"Unfortunately, he has lost all of his memories."
The room fell silent again.
Meanwhile, inside his classroom, Leo pretended to not notice the obvious stares from his classmates by focusing on his notebook.
Eventually, the other students began approaching Leo to ask him questions.
"So what have you been doing for the past 3 months?" One of them asked him.
"Everything is still fuzzy, but I remember wandering aimlessly until I arrived at this academy. I knew something was special about this place when I laid my eyes on it, too." Leo responded in a clear voice.
"So you really don't remember anything about your 'death'? We were all shocked when the school suddenly announced your death!"
"Right?"
Leo narrowed his eyes.
'Now that I think about it, how did the school know that I was dead without finding my corpse?'
Leo began having some questions.
He decided to find out by asking his fellow students.
"Why was I announced dead? I was told that they were unable to find my corpse."
"Your Life Tablet broke, that's how the school knew." One of the students there said.
"Life Tablet? What's that?"
"It's an artifact that keeps track of your life. If you die, your Life Tablet will lose function. All students are required to have one, and they are all managed by the school."
"I see…"
"Even if you've lost your memories, it's great to have you back, Leo!"
"Right?! You were our— knights— only hope!"
Leo raised an eyebrow and asked, "Sorry, but what's a knight?"
"Knights are students who cannot use magic in this academy. Instead, we wield weapons and artifacts."
"Because of our inability to use magic, we're always being mocked and bullied by the magic students. Fortunately, we have you, the pride of all knights."
"You're the reason the knights in this academy can walk around without staring at the floor. After you were announced dead, the magic students started bullying us again. It was horrible for the past three months…"
The students explained the situation to Leo.
"I see…" Leo swallowed nervously.
While Leo was happily chatting with his friends, on the other side, Oswald was sitting alone on his seat with a irritated face.
All the classmates in the class were visibly avoiding him afterall.
When their next class started, everyone returned to their seats.
'Holy shit, he's actually alive!' The teacher for their next class cried inwardly after seeing Oswald's face.
The teacher briefly introduced himself to Leo and Oswald before starting class.
Meanwhile, news of the revival began spreading throughout the academy like wildfire.
"Hey! Have you heard?!"
"Yeah! Sword Emperor Leo is alive! Viscious murderer Oswald is alive!"
"I thought his Life Tablet broke. What happened?"
"Who knows."
"I heard he's also suffering from amnesia. Do you think he's still as strong?"
"We'll find out soon enough. I'm sure there are plenty of magic students with their eyes on him. This might be their chance to finally defeat him, after all."
Indeed, there were plenty of students that wanted to fight with Leo now that he's back.
There were many who even wanted to go against Oswald but then remembering the rumors about him, they felt their legs go numb and their backs drenched in cold sweat.
"What?! Leo is alive?! Hahaha! This is great! I can fight him again!"
"I heard that he's suffering from amnesia, though, so he might not even remember how to fight."
News of Leo's return eventually reached the ears of the elite classes in the academy, where its most talented students can be found.
"Hey, Valery, did you hear? The Sword Emperor and the vicious murderer have returned!"
"W-What?" A beautiful young lady with short black hair and a pair of emerald eyes mumbled in a shocked voice.
"Sword Emperor Leo and vicious murderer Oswald!! Don't tell me that you've already forgotten about them? It's only been a few days!!" One of the students exclaimed.
"Oswald..." Valery muttered under her breath with a complicated expression on her face.
