Seigfred seams very scared for his future at the school, while Leo gave nothing away he also couldn't touch his mind to read his emotions like most people./p
p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;" /p
p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;""Yes, it dose. Leo here decided he would use a tier 6 detonation glyph to end the fight not considering what the damage would have been to the rest of the students watching or the arena" Glynda stated./p

p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;""Because he baited Leonardo into fighting without understanding his opponent which in turn started this whole mess" Glynda answered/p

p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;""I needed your approval on their punishment, Which is rebuilding the arena they destroyed. I also wanted both of us to have a chat with Leonardo." Glynda continued/p

p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;""She goes by Ironhammer now" Leo corrected with a subtle hint of protective fury in his voice./p

p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"As calm as he could Leo said: " because after that man toke control of the family and drove my aunt to alcohol my mother wanted nothing to do with the family or the S.D.C so she stopped using the name and later toke up my father's." Hints of venom and pain in his voice./p

p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;""My father has filled me in on the history and purpose of the Ironhammer's role in the world, " Leo said carefully picking his words while still answering the question./p

p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"Realising they won't get anywhere without help Glynda pulled out her scroll and proceeded to press a few buttons, then the ringing started to sound as they waited for whoever she was calling to answer./p

p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;""Evening Arron, I'm here with Ozpin and Leonardo and we were about to discuss your family but Leonardo is being very closed lip," Glynda said out loud for Arron to hear./p

p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;""Haha ok. Leo they already know everything so it's fine to talk to them about the family" Arron answered after a short bout of laughter./p

p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"Just as Olivia started to get settled on the couch a wave of heat hit her insides sending her lower abdomen into a frenzy often intense butterfly sensations./p

p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"Quickly she stripped off her clothes as she ran to her bedside table, frantically she pulled it open and grabbed the bottle of small pills as the butterfly feeling grew more and more intense with each passing minute./p

p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"Downing one of the small pills she jumped under the sheets of her bed and pulled her knees up under her chin and just sat there breathing deeply and waiting for the moment to pass./p
