Leo is still trying to come to terms with what happened to him. =========
"So," Mio signed, sighing audibly as the two sat together, "You're free to stay here as much as you want."
Leo nodded. "Yes." He didn't really want to stay, but the threat from the man was over, and he had to get on with his life. Besides, with that threat gone, he could once again duck and run with the rest of the student population instead of being a target. Only a few knew he was a mage, after all.
He wondered what would happen if he ran into the man again. What he'd say. What he'd do. But it wasn't likely to happen, not unless he was unlucky.
"You should," Mio told him. "I don't always agree with Sigma, but I think this will help."
"I have to go practice every so often with Gentarou anyway." Sure, they didn't do it much, but Gentarou was pretty good at tactics, and they were working together so that if Leo was caught in an attack, he could at least support his friend. "I don't mind being a stronger mage, Mio." He still didn't want to be a mage, but he figured he had no choice. The faster he could go through all of this, the sooner he could get into engineering and forget he had magic.
"Gentarou will take good care of you," Mio said approvingly.
Leo blushed a little, still glad that Gentarou was seeing somebody else. It made things easier.
Mio put a hand on his arm briefly. "We'll make it through, Leo. I know we will."
