What Leonel didn't know was that his action of holding Aina's hand alone was more than enough to be looked at in this way.
During her time on Hero Peak, Aina hadn't just been learning a new profession, she spent just as much time training her body as she always did. She completely engrossed herself in improving, which was why she actually didn't notice how much time had passed until she realized she had missed a call from Leonel.
In the span of that time, Aina broke no small number of freshmen records, even those Raylion had held had been obliterated. If it wasn't for the fact Hero Peak was such a closed off community of elites, Aina would have caused an uproar that swept through the entirety of Valiant Heart.
That said, an uproar did happen. It was just that this commotion was concentrated between the walls of Hero Peak.
