Chapter 107: Severus's Gift

(Rodova Military Academy – Professor Severus's Holding Cell, Basement D-1)

A few minutes after class, Leo arrived at the entrance of Basement Block D1, which was the restricted section of the academy where its 'less reputable' faculty members were housed.

Currently, only one such 'Less Reputable' faculty member was on-campus, his chamber protected by a single holding guard clad in full body armor.

As Leo approached, the guard lifted his visor to confirm his identity, before letting out a deep sigh.

"You must be Skyshard," the guard muttered, arms crossed as he spoke with a tired voice.

Leo nodded, as the guard exhaled again, rubbing his temple before speaking in a low, firm voice.

"Listen carefully, kid. Whatever that lunatic in there tells you, don't do him any favors. Don't pass him notes, don't fetch him supplies, and most importantly—don't trust any stories that he tells you–"

The guard warned, as Leo raised a brow, clearly unimpressed by the warning.

"I think I can hold my own—" Leo replied, as the guard immediately scoffed.

"Hold your own? Against that Lunatic? No chance–" He said, as he leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a near whisper.

"I've been stationed outside this cell for 3 weeks now, Skyshard. I've heard the things he mumbles in his sleep, the theories he scratches onto those walls. Severus isn't interested in being a professor."

Leo remained silent.
