Sorry about how I haven't put a gap inbetween regular stuff and the stats, but the website despises me and so, the command for it does about as much as a paper mache floodgate would.
This is the re-written version of Ch.2. The only real difference is the exchane between Ancius, the deity guy who sent him to Remnant, along with some other minor stuff.
Enjoy!
In Leo's Dreams:
Leo sat up to find himself in the void where he met the old god, that damned deity who sent him to the world of Remnant in the first place. Though the deity wasn't currently present, Leo could tell he was somewhere nearby.
Standing up, Leo turned around to see an empty marble throne, it looked as if it was a part of the ground. As he began to wonder things about the god, such as how old he was, what was his name and what has he done for his time as a god, because it wouldn't just be sitting in that uncomfortable-looking chair...right?
A familiar voice resonated from behind him after a few moments, comfirming his thoughts.
"Well, I can certainly tell you the last one, though the tale of my existence is quite a...well... it's quite a boring one, to say the very least. Also, don't diss my chair."
Leo opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. For some unknown reason, he felt a sudden urge to demand his old life back, to be given a specific purpose in this new world, aside from 'change its predetermined fate'...anything, really.
More than anything though, he wanted to know what was happening back in his old life.
The old god could evidently read his thoughts as he simply sighed. "Listen, m'boy. You are a necessity for this world, you have both the power to save it from what would otherwise be it's predetermined fate and the power to accelerate said fate. You cannot go back to your world. your family does remember you, but they are under the assumption that you have died. They will mourn and eventually get over it, as you will."
Leo stared at his own feet as he pondered these words.
While this logically wasn't the worst possible scenario for him, it certainly felt like it couldn't get any worse. He could never go back, they thought he was dead.
Well, in their eyes...he kinda was.
"Leo Helios. You cannot, and simply will not get your old life back. So instead, what will you do?"
An eternity passed as Leo thought in silence. Eventually, he opened his mouth and a few hollow words echoed throughout the void. "I'm gonna do whatever the fuck I damn well please. If my life back home is gone...then...I'll just have to..." His eyes began to water as he struggled to get the words out. "Just...make a new one here..."
His response actually managed to surprise the god, who quickly regained his composure and smiled at the boy before him. "Well...I actually wasn't sure that I had chosen the right person to save this world, but now...I know I chose correctly. I recommend that you only let others see you use lightning from now on, as well. You know as well as I do that a select few individuals will hunt you down if they find out how powerful you are. So, to make your life just a tad easier, here is a gift, from a simple god, with a little 'g', to the future Guardian of Remnant."
*You have been gifted a set of spells and stats from Ancius: 'The "g"od' (Level ?̴̢̛͎̦̪̼͕̠̗̟̗̺̼̭̦͚̙͖̘̣̱̆̾͂̅̾̀͊́̓̆̇̋̍͗̆͌̕͜͝͝͝?̷̛͓̜̪̥̪͌͑̋̽̎̓͊͋̽̅͌̊͋̐͋̕͜?̵̛̬̰̩̜̩̥̈́̓̈͂̈̒̎̈́͂̿͆͑͆̋͒̅̒?̸̨̢͉̩͚̯̼̣̥̝͕̺̣̐̈́̅̒̐̓?̵͓̺̯̩̝͕̪͎̺͉̯̹̪̜̺͊͌͊̋͛̆̐̑̋̚̕?̴̺̭̣͖̃̑̒̈́̓̉͌̽̄͂́̔͆̐̈̈́̃̕̕̚͘͜?̴̖̬͊͊̊̈?̷̧̢̖̗̻̪̦̰͇̤͙͚̘͚̝̜̦̬̫̈́͛͊̂͗̋̕͠)!

Leo looked up from his popups at the old god, "There, that should allow you to use some of your new spells. I would still recommend training other spells that aren't lightning, just for when that particular group inevitably finds out...Hero's complex should help you keep others alive, but be sure to maybe make a healing spell for yourself or something..."
"Right..."
The god, Ancius, stood there for a few moments tapping away at his leg, seemingly in thought. After a few moments his eyes widened in realisation. "... Also!... I would like to apologise to you, Leo. I...I didn't expect that such a sudden change would to that to you, make you have a panic attack, that is. Though, I now realise just what it was that caused that...I was the cause. So, I am truly sorry." The man's words were genuine, Leo had no doubt about that.
"...It's...it's fine. As you said, my family thinks I'm dead...and to them, my parents have lost their son. That hurts, But...they'll get over it. And so will I..." His voice was no longer that of someone who was broken by his lost past and afraid of the unknown and terrifying future before him. It was that of someone who was determined to do what they could.
The god once again looked surprised for a moment before nodding slowly, "I'm glad I made the right choice Leo. It'll probably be a while before we talk again, so... good luck."
And with that, Leo's dream slowly faded as he awoke.
5:30 AM: Leo's room. A few weeks later
Since that dream, Leo had been going out and training with his new spells early on in the mornings in the emerald forest or the sparring arena. He had also learnt a fair bit about Remnants history and other necessary things in that time. Such as how to write, he got onto team CRDL's radar for being picked on when they realised that he couldn't read or write the language of Remnant.
Leo rolled over onto his back and stared at the roof for a moment, 'I'd better check out my stats...just to see how I've actually improved...'
Leo Helios (level 20)
Semblance: 'g'ods Gift (The 'gamer')
Age 17
Gender: Male
Height: 7"3
HP: 210/210
MP: 480/480
Aura level: 100%
Unspent Stat points: 40
STR: 31
DEX: 23
END: 25
VIT: 21
INT: 39
WIS: 48
CHA: 19
He had saved all of his points that he has gotten from 'level-ups' and spent nearly all of his time studying or meditating in order to level his WIS and INT stats to raise both his maximum MP and his spell damage.
'I wonder if I could find some type of character editor? Being 7"3 is a bitch at times...' Leo thought to himself for a few moments. 'Wait...that's stupid. There's no way there would be one. Oh well'
"damn, I haven't been levelling my Charisma much...then again, I haven't...really talked with anyone much...except for Jaune, who I've talked with for a bit. Weiss, who taught me to read this bullshit language and Yang with teasing back and forth a few times, that is."
The brunette hopped out of bed and located his Beacon uniform, checking the time on his scroll, he decided to go for a run to get himself ready for the day. 'I shouldn't wear my uniform when i go for this run. I've still got plenty of time before classes but I don't wanna walk in covered in sweat...that'd be horrible.'
Leo made his way out of the dorms, went for a quick run around campus before making his way to the one place where he could train his 'Beacon' semblance.
Upon entering the sparring room, Leo was rather surprised to see that one of the people who he could confidently call a friend was awake at this hour. Jaune Arc was currently in a duel with one of Beacon's training bots. The bots could be set at varying difficulties, such as: Pitifully easy, Very easy, Easy, Normal, Hard, Very hard, Impossible, Unstoppable, Lethal and Godly, which came with a small plaque next to it. (Warning! Godly level bots can deplete weaker auras in a single strike). Upon further inspection of a terminal down near the arena entrance, the single bot that the knight was battling was set to: Very easy and was using a heavy mace in one hand.
'Ah, he's training to fight someone like Cardin...nice!'
Despite this, Jaune seemed to barely equal his robotic opponent in combat. Every move he made would be considered amateur if he was lucky. 'It's a wonder that Glynda didn't kick him out the moment she laid eyes on him.'
The robot and the knight duelled until Jaune got tired and shut it off with a push of a button. As he turned to exit the arena, the knight noticed a rather familiar person leant up against the side of the entrance. "O-oh, Hey...Leo." Despite the fact that the two had talked quite a few times within the past weeks, Jaune still seemed a tad intimidated by Leo. 'fair enough, though...'
"Heya. What're you doing up so early? Can't sleep or something?" The brunette replied simply.
The blonde chuckled nervously, Making Leo almost call him out on how forced that laugh sounded. Everyone knew Cardin had been picking on him and Leo was going to tear the leader of team CRDL in half at this rate "Heh, something like that. A-anyways, the arena's all yours if you wanna have a go now."
"Alright, thanks." Pushing himself off the wall, Leo moved over to the terminal and started setting up his own duel. 'lets see...I bet I could beat a "Hard" level bot...right?'
The brunette pushed the 'confirm' button and made his way into the arena. From the spectator's zone, he heard Jaune ask a question. "Hey Leo, do you mind if I watch you train? So I can pick up a tip or two?"
Tiny crackles of lightning leapt in-between his fingers at random as the bot was deployed. "Knock yourself out."
After training for a while, Leo went off to get some breakfast with Jaune. The two entered the cafeteria together and parted ways as Leo wandered off to his own table in the corner of the room after piling his plate with an entire mountain of bacon.
As he finished breakfast, Leo's scroll buzzed, giving him an announcement to be at the auditorium by 11:30 AM. 'Is this where Jaune gets beaten up by Cardin and Glynda talks about the Vytal festival? If that's so, then that means...Cardin is going to bully Velvet at lunch...If he does, I think I might just snap.'
Leo was of course referring to how Cardin will eventually end up pulling at Velvet Scarlatina's ears, as they are currently at the 'Jaunedice' arc of volume 1. He didn't bother thinking about how he felt about the scene in question, though he has recently seen how the Faunus seem around humans.
They seem scared.
They are afraid, simply because of what they are.
If Cardin ends up pulling Velvets ears, Leo had no doubts that he would both stop Cardin (only partially because of hero's complex), and make sure that he NEVER does it again.
"Ahhh, yeah... I guess I was right about the whole 'Jaune getting beaten up easily' thing..." Leo muttered to himself as the buzzer sounded. He was getting really pissed off with Cardin at this point.
'I'm just...fuck it. If he so much as pushes someone over, I might just snap. This hero complex thing is really just bad anger management in this moment...actually, no. I've been managing myself rather well, if I do think so myself.'
Glynda stepped forward and essentially began to scold Jaune for being such a bad fighter, "Mr Arc, it's been weeks now. Please try to refer to your scroll during combat..."
The deputy headmaster began explaining about the Vytal tournament, eventually dismissing everyone for lunch. 'huh, I wonder if I'll be allowed to enter the tournament by myself. I bet if I can prove that I can defeat a team by myself, then I should be allowed to...right?'
As Leo made his way through the lunchroom to get his meal, a rather familiar voice called out to him. "Hey, Sparks! Come sit with us!" The brunette turned and saw that the culprit of that nickname was none other than Yang.
He was quite taken aback for a moment, not once had any of them asked him to sit with him, but here Yang was, calling out to him directly and telling him to come and sit with them. "Sure, one sec." He replied as he went off to go grab his lunch, eventually making his way back to their table and after pulling up an extra bench to what would be the 'head' of the table, sat down in between the leaders of either team. It looked as if Leo were some towering king, and the two teams before him were his guests.
Nora soon began telling a story that, despite him hearing it multiple times during his times watching the show, left him with stars in his eyes. "We were surrounded by Ursaiiiii."
Despite how truly awesome the prospect of being surrounded by Ursai sounded to the aspiring lightning mage, Ren, the stoic person that he was, decided to make sure everyone knew the full story. "they were Beowolves."
"DOZENS OF EM!"
"two of them"
"But they were no match...and in the end, Ren and I took them dowwwn and made a bullhead full of Lien selling Ursa skin rugs." And with her side of the story told, Nora plopped herself back down on her seat with a light 'thump'.
"woooow..." Leo said quietly, more so to himself than anybody else.
Ren sighed and leaned forward slightly, "She's been having this recurring dream for nearly a month now..."
"Whaaaat?! It isn't just a dream Renny, we were really there! Look! Leo enjoyed my story, that means it must be real! Right Leo?"
Leo glanced at Ren for a moment before turning his gaze back to Nora. He decided to take the middle ground on this one. "Either that, or you're just great at telling stories."
After cracking a smile at Nora's smug expression, he looked around the table to see if everyone else was as enraptured by Nora's story as he was, only to see Jaune picking away at his food. 'Oh...right. The whole Cardin talk. I forgot about that, dammit Nora! why must your stories be so awesome?!'
Seeing as Pyrrha seemed a bit apprehensive in talking to her leader about his current state, Leo took the reins. "Hey, Jaune. You alright there buddy?"
It took a moment, but Jaune eventually looked up and noticed that Leo, Ruby and his own partner, Pyrrha were all looking at him with rather concerned looks on their faces. "Huh? Oh, yeah...Why?"
On the opposite side of the table from the blonde, Ruby began fidgeting with her hands. "It's just that you seem...a little...not...okay..."
Jaune looked around to see that now everyone's eyes were locked onto him. Even Blake had put her book down and was looking at him. "Guys, I'm fine. Seriously, look." Jaune did his best to put on a smile and laugh, but it was so obviously forced that Pyrrha and Ruby just began to look more distressed.
A familiar laugh managed to rise above the chatter of the cafeteria, the knight looked over to see that Cardin and his team were busy laughing at a rabbit Faunus.
Leo followed his gaze and immediately felt his blood run cold.
And as per usual, he also felt 'Hero's complex' kick in.
Though this time it felt different.
This time, he could tell that he wouldn't be able to ignore it, just as he had guessed earlier. 'He...he...he'd better stop, or I'm gonna FUCKING SNAP!'
"Jaune, Cardin has been picking on you since the first week of school..." Pyrrha began.
"U-who? Cardin Winchester? Na, he's just a jokester, he likes to play around...that's all. Me and him, we're buds." Jaune's voice slowly continued to sound muffled to Leo, as the sound of his own rushing blood began to drown out all other sound. His gaze was fixed on the members of team CRDL as they continued to harass and jeer at a rabbit Faunus.
The now-muffled voice of Ruby spoke up from Leo's right. He couldn't even see anything at this point except Cardin's team and the innocent Faunus. "...-bully..."
Words became distorted in Leo's brain as he gripped his knife and fork tighter, unconsciously bending the metal to the point of near-breaking. A few tiny blue sparks began to flicker about on his body, the fork in his hand beginning to heat up slightly as electricity webbed inbetween the tines.
Jaune once again spoke, though this time, Leo could barely hear him. "Please-he's Bullied me." was all he heard.
"BREAK HIS LEGS!"
"Gladly..." The Mage mumbled quietly, catching the attention of Blake for a moment, due to her enhanced hearing.
Leo tore his vision away from Cardin for a moment and looked at the knight as he spoke. Jaune's words were dripping with doubt and lies. Lies he was telling himself. "-It's fiine-"
'lies...'
*Observe has gained 3 levels! (now level 5)
Through practice, you have gained the ability to discern peoples emotions alongside the rest of this skill's effects. You can discern whether people are lying or not, to an extent.
Suddenly, a pained voice turned Leo's mind blank as he turned back to team CRDL, "Ow! That hurts!"
Laughter followed her cries. Cardin was pulling on one of the girl's rabbit ears whilst his team were howling with laughter.
Lightning crackled in-between Leo's fingers, running up the sleeves of his leather jacket where they continued to crackle about, his breaths turned slow and ragged. Ruby and Blake were the only ones who noticed this. What's more is that they also noticed his eyes, they weren't their usual dull orange, like a warm campfire, They were glowing a strange, light shade of blue that left little to the imagination in terms of what was about to happen. His irises flashed with streaks of white light occasionally, it was almost as if the flashes were lightning, and here he was, attempting to hold back an entire storm from erupting within his body. "Uuummm, guys..." The Red Reaper squeaked.
Pyrrha was next to notice what was about to happen. "Leo...calm down, you don't want to do anything rash. You might get expelled if you do, Cardin's father is in the Valean council."
"Please, stop." The Faunus's cries went unheard by all...except one.
"See? I told you they were real."
"What a freak!"
It was at this point that Leo snapped. Ignoring the fact that the top halves of his now-snapped and slightly scorched knife and fork had just flown across the table from the sheer amount of force he had been exerting on them, he calmly stood up, oblivious to the pleas of the others, who were 'advising' him to sit back down as he stalked over to Cardin.
Each footstep echoed in his mind. All he could hear was the sound of his new boots everytime they touched the floor, the relentless beating of his thumping heart, the jeering of team CRDL and the unheard pleas of an innocent girl.
The Monster in question turned and looked at Leo approaching, "Ah, and here's a second freak! Hey, I've been having trouble with this thing Oobleck gave me recently, think you could help me with the...readings!"
Leo waited for the snickering of CRDL to die down before speaking. "Let. Her. Go..." the brunette's voice was calm, yet his eyes, the eyes of a storm, continued to exhibit what would soon become, if unchecked, his pure, unbridled rage.
"Whaaat? You got a thing for flopsy here? No way, These animals need to know their pla-" His voice was cut short by Leo's grip on his bracers, which quickly surged with electricity. "AAH!" He let go of the Faunus for half a moment as he stood up. "You reeally shouldn't have done that...But for now..." Cardin stepped closer to the Faunus as she tried to back away, reached out and grabbed both of the girls ears in a vice grip. "I've got better thing's to do...Huh?"
Leo's hands went two ways. His left hand went to his right bracer, which was the arm that Cardin was holding onto the Faunus with, while the other reached out to firmly send him back into his seat the moment the electricity from his left hand forced Cardin's muscles to let go of the girl's ears.
The Faunus took a few steps back as Leo turned to her, his eyes faded back to their warm orange for a moment as a gentle smile graced his features. "Hey, if you want, you can go sit over there." Leo pointed his thumb behind him at team RWBY and JNPR's table. "They're nice people...Plus...that place is out of the splash zone..." He said that last part quietly to himself, but the girl's ears evidently picked it up, if her expression was anything to go by.
Leo turned back to team CRDL just in time to receive a right hook from Cardin.
Now, with the Faunus out of the way and his sights firmly set on the four huntsmen-in-training before him, Leo's form erupted with such force that three of the monsters in question, with Cardin managing to stand strong, were knocked back a few metres. Both his mana and Aura were emptied in an instant as he cast his most powerful spell for the first time. And while, it wasn't even close to being as close to the nearly-infinite power he held in his palm with the 'thunder god' spell, this spell's power was still certainly a sight to behold.
Fueled by his own rage towards Cardin, which was largely due to 'hero's complex' slowly increasing over the course of a few weeks, Leo had just cast his most powerful spell.
StormTrance.
He turned back to the team before him and met Cardin's second punch with one of his own. While the burnt-haired bully's strength was usually more than his due to what appeared to be raw stats, Leo's strength was simply growing. Plus, a quick blast of lightning quickly sent the leader of CRDL skittering back until he tripped and fell back onto his seat.
The other three members had drawn their weapons by this point and decided to bum-rush the brunette without any form of co-ordination. Leo pointed his arms at two of them, sending deadly bolts of lightning their way. The Mage then conjured up a malicious-looking scythe out of blue electricity to deal with the last one. Grasping the hilt with both hands, Leo raised it high as his opponent foolishly continued to rush into what he now thought of as a 'kill-zone'. 'sky lark...' (*Imagine the corvian great scythe from Dark Souls 3...except blue*)
Sky raised his halberd up to skillfully parry the oncoming downward slash, only for the scythe to pass straight through his weapon, the tip the the scythe hooked around his back, eventually crushing him into the ground. Leo swiftly moved in close, raising his boot to crush his first target further into the ground. The sound of his boot making contact with his target's skull sounded like a crack of thunder as it echoed throughout the room, sending random sparks of electricity everywhere as Sky's aura shattered like a thin pane of glass. "Fragile."
Leo's voice crackled like lightning, every syllable was dripping with pure resentment and vitriol.
The brutish mage, who's body was now shrouded in a thin layer of lightning, lifted his boot off of Sky and, without any warning, disappeared before Cardin could land a right-handed swing with his mace. The scythe-wielding giant appeared behind his prey, bringing the scythe around in an attempt to cleave Cardin in half.
Cardin spun around and, having seen just how ineffective sky's attempt at blocking was, attempted to duck under the attack, only for it to be a feign. As Cardin realised that the attack had never come, he looked up just in time to be kicked back by a lightning-infused boot. "Gah!" The leader of team CRDL rolled back, eventually managing to turn his momentum to help himself up. Before he could even attempt to fight back against his opponent, Cardin was forced to try and hurl his body back in a poor attempt to stop the towering reaper's blade.
Needless to say, his hideously abysmal attempt at dodging failed. Cardin, due to his stature and heavy armour, was someone who either blocked an attack or simply didn't. The force of the scythe against his mid-section threw the fool a few metres to the left, where he eventually landed near team RWBY and JNPR's table.
At this point, Leo's eyes had now turned into glowing orbs of pure animosity that sent random bits of electricity about his body.
The blue reaper stalked over to his prey with his scythe held out to his side in a way so that Cardin could clearly see the entire blade. Kneeling down and placing his left hand over his target's face, Leo began pouring electricity straight into the student's brain, Though his aura was protecting Cardin from any damage, it wouldn't last forever...
Completely oblivious to mangled screams of Cardin and the horrified looks on his friends faces, the Towering scythe-wielder stayed like this for a moment, forcing more and more electricity from his fingertips directly into Cardin's skull, only stopping when he felt the beasts aura was close to breaking. "Slow..."
Leo didn't sound like himself, with every word, his voice began to sound more like the deep boom of thunder. His face, usually holding some expression or emotion was currently devoid of any of that.
Sensing a presence behind him, Leo stood up and turned to see Dove and Russell sprinting towards him with their weapons drawn.
Russell stopped running, crouched and quickly launched himself towards Leo in a spin attack, much like a Boarbatusk would. Before the attack could even come close to hitting, The Mage launched a devastating uppercut with his scythe. The hook of the blade caught the Thrush right under his ribcage, Halting his momentum so everyone could see the pained expression on his face before he was hurled through the roof, leaving him at the non-existent mercy of the thunderstorm that had been brewing overhead.
This left a single. Terrified. Bird as the last one standing against the storm. "Predictable..."
His words were barely registerable at this point.
He was a storm... And nothing can stop the unbridled power of a Thunderstorm...
You merely have to pray that it doesn't target you...
And in his personal opinion, while he certainly had nothing against those who followed some form of religion...Dove wasn't a religious man himself, so his experience in praying was...minimal, to say the least.
Dove was clearly the most skilled out of his team. So, seeing how easily his other three allies had been devastated, He tried firing a few shots from his gun blade, only for thin bolts of light to leap from the Mage's form and intercept most of the bullets before they could get close to the living thunderstorm. Though one got through and impacted into the left side of his face, easily ripping through his cheek.
*Skill: 'The Body' Has blocked a large amount of pain, HP is being consumed to heal the wound.*
"Ooookay..." Dove muttered under his breath as he watched the bullet hole in the side of his opponent's face heal in mere moments, Leo didn't even look fazed in the slightest by the fact that he had just been shot.
Considering his ranged attacks had no effect, Dove edged forward cautiously, clearly having seen his opponents superior strength in action multiple times. 'That's fine though. I've got the speed advantage...I think. And my reflexes are probably the best in the whole school. I just need to-DODGE!'
Without warning, Leo flicked his wrist, sending the scythe hurling towards his final target.
While Dove managed to sidestep the attack with ease and grace, he soon realised that he had no chance of dodging nor blocking the heavy sweeping attack that was now headed for his midsection, in the form of a massively oversized Battle-axe. Which, despite being constructed entirely out of lightning, appeared to be heavier than what it would be if it were made out of steel.
The attack stuck true, hurling the tiny Dove across the cafeteria in an instant, where his unconscious body rocketed into one of the many stone pillars. "WEAK...!"
Despite the roar of thunder that followed his words closely, everybody in the cafeteria heard what Leo had said.
Everything was silent. Nobody had either dared or bothered to stand up to Cardin's team like that.
Leo turned around and stood over the fallen leader of team CRDL. The person in question had managed to stay conscious and was currently propped up against the edge of the table, even through the concentrated burst of lightning that left his aura in shambles. Cardin looked up at the physical embodiment of the storm that raged overhead with nothing but abstract terror in his eyes. "YOU. ARE. WEAK...!" The towering battle-mage dispelled his axe, instead swapping it out for a long, almost needle-like javelin.
Before anybody could even move an inch, said javelin had already left Leo's hand and impaled itself in the tiled ground just to the left of Cardin's hip.
The Mage knelt down next to him on one knee. "...And don't you ever forget that..." Leo's voice was barely more than a soft whisper at this point, but he knew that Cardin had heard him.
Getting up and turning on his heel, Leo made to stroll out of the cafeteria when he was suddenly lifted up by a strange purple light. Despite the constant attempt of the light trying to restrict his movements, all it managed to accomplish was levitating him a few feet off of the ground.
With the main offender of the battle held in the grasp of her semblance, Glynda Goodwich turned her attention to the improvised battlefield that had been absolutely devastated. As if right on cue, a certain unconscious 'Thrush' fell from a hole in the roof, his hair and clothing had been utterly scorched by the lightning from the storm above.
Turning her attention back onto the towering form of Leo, she froze as the two made eye contact. Within the white orbs that had taken place over his eyes, she saw a pure, unbridled wrath that nothing she had ever encountered could even hope to muster. The mage's gaze held so much animosity towards her in that single moment that she actually lost focus of her semblance and dropped him onto the ground, where he landed safely on his feet.
"Mr He-Helios. I demand that you cease all use of your semblance in the cafeteria this instant!" Despite her stutter, Glynda managed to hold her usual confidence that would easily strike fear into the hearts of anyone.
Though Leo didn't even seem the slightest bit intimidated by her, he simply looked back to each member of team CRDL and, seemingly being satisfied at their conditions, nodded. The entire cafeteria seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when his eyes faded from white orbs of crackling electricity to their usual warm orange. As this happened, the small thunderstorm which had covered all of Beacon's campus began to swiftly dissipate.
"Good..." Glynda began, she seemed to be on guard as she spoke. "Now, you are to come with me." she muttered. turning her attention back to the rest of the cafeteria, she softened her gaze from what would be absolutely petrifying to most people, to its usual level of terror. "Some of you are to take team CRDL to the infirmary at once..."
None of the students dared to move an inch. "...NOW!"
And with that, every student in the cafeteria either scrambled to get team CRDL to the infirmary or watched as the silent form of Leo followed Glynda out of the room.
