Chapter 184: Rescue
Before anyone could react, the girl suddenly reached for Leo's arm. Lily flinched, instinctively stepping forward, but before she could do anything, Leo calmly stepped back, slipping out of the girl's grasp.
"Whatever it is, you can talk from there," he said evenly.
"H-huh? Y-yes, yes." The girl startled, then quickly retreated a few steps, putting a clear distance between them.
Only then did Leo and the others get a proper look at her. She had light blue hair that shimmered faintly under the academy lights and clear blue eyes that looked slightly red, as if she had been crying. A matching dress clung to her slender figure, and a badge pinned to her chest bore the number 1, marking her as a fresher just like them. Lily immediately noticed something else—her clothes were damp in places, clinging uncomfortably to her skin, and the fabric itself was rather revealing.
Before Leo could speak, Lily cut in.
"What do you want?" she asked bluntly.
