Chapter 151 Graduation 5 (1/2)
Six hours later, John walked towards the back of the auditorium.
The moment he got near the door, he saw a stream of people also going towards the door.
They were all wearing the same uniform as John. They were trying to maintain a stern face, but it was impossible to hide the happiness and excitement in their faces since they would finally become proper Protectors.
John easily blended with the crowd and entered in the backstage.
When they went through the door, the students were greeted with a few Protectors with some devices in their hands and others with weapons.
They ordered the students to form a line and went identifying one by one.
There was no trouble and the Protectors soon liberated the students.
”Curious. Why the need of so much security?” A robotic voice sounded behind John, ”Do you have any idea why, John Connor?”
John glanced back at the person that spoke with him.
It was a male Glitch, a robotic humanoid.
He looked like those robots from old movies, with bulky and metallic hull that didn't bother to hide the fact he was robot. The coloration of his hull was gray, slightly chromed.
His two unblinking round eyes that resembled lamps stared directly at John's black eyes.
John was surprised for a moment before recovering and spoke, ”I have no idea, Leonard.”
The name of the Glitch was Leonard Kepler, son of a Councillor of the Privy Council.
The Privy Council was the united government of the Glitch. To be recognized as a king, a Glitch need the approval of the Council, of one tries to forcibly become king, he will suffer grave punishment from the Privy Council.
As it stands, a Councillor of the Privy Council was more influential than any Glitch king.
Despite being the son of such important person, Leonard never showed any arrogance that these people usually had.
He always stayed silent most of the time, and only talked when someone talked with him first.
John never had any interaction with him before and that's why he was surprised that Leonard was suddenly speaking with him out of nowhere.
Glitch's face are always solid and emotionless, that's why it was difficult so their emotions. The only way to know how they are feeling, is when they speak. Most of the cases, their first word spoke is how they are currently feeling.
John scanned Leonard, and then his surroundings, but he didn't manage to find why would he choose to speak with him.
[Why is that everyone is suddenly coming towards me today?] John wondered, [First Aoi, then Cael, Liese, Zyanya and now Leonard... what's happening?]
”Suspicious. You have an inkling about the situation, right?” Leonard continued pressing John.
”Why would you think so?” John curiously asked.
”Because out of everyone here, you are the only one that isn't curious about the current situation.”
Of course John wasn't curious.
