Chapter 15: The Skill Selection
The trainees in the large hall gathered in small groups, excitedly discussing the selections. The schedule where it was held began this day. It has been days after Lucas has shown his Godly Potential.
He has nowhere to sit on as he noticed most of the students heading towards this large hall. Before the wide door, a sign was posted on the front, saying that the Skill Selection will only be held inside this hall.
Walking inside, he noticed lots of seats beside the wall, but all of those were occupied by nervous students trying to cease their nausea. Some were cheering themselves, some were cheering others. Three to five wandering coaches were talking to some students, and giving them a piece of paper.
He tried inspecting what those papers were, and he learned it was a draw lot that has a number on it. It will maintain the order on what class should go on first, second,
Chapter 16: Moon and Doll Evaluated Moon stared at Principal Lyns after she had said that the next part with be an intense battle segment. He glanced over to his classmates and he felt their nervousness even from afar. Intense battle referred to the different foundation battle styles that were used in different selections on a regular basis. The evaluators would randomly pick combatants to test the students' fighting abilities. This would be a pain. He didn't plan out that something like this would happen. What was Principal Lyns meant when she said intense? Wasn't it just someone on one battle? They were six within the class, and picking up something like one on one will not cost too much time to them. Given that they were picking students to represent White Day, Moon thought that the intense battle style would be more toward the Division's incredible standard. However, the combatants that Principal Lyns p
Chapter 17: The Selected ParticipantsAs the evaluation ended in a short amount of time, the selected participants were all happy. All of their nervousness has ceased to zero as the trial has ended. Those who did not manage to make it to the selection have exited already, with some of those who were friends with the selected ones staying at the hall as they were all lectured by Principal Lyns.Lucas sat at the chair that Nath gave him. It made him wonder, where was that girl? He has to return this chair to her, or else, she might sue him. That would be another reason for her to check on him all the time.Given their location, he cannot see her or anyone familiar inside the room. Also, he has no interest in them for now. He was tired of practicing, as well as improving the spell he had learned from his right arm. All of these lecturings were boring for Lucas, for as he heard all of those being said by Coach Clive to him.
Chapter 18: Celebration with FuryDressed in a simple white shirt and wearing the same silk necktie, Lunar Invel had no other accessories anymore in his entire outfit except for that wristwatch that he wore back then. He moved forward, and the cheering from the selected participants followed.Moon kept his gaze onto Lunar Invel momentarily. He began hating his face.Now, he wore classic eyeglasses that suited his manly face. His features have gotten matured since the time Moon had seen him with his mother at the cliff years ago. But he hasn't grown that much. His face remained recognizable, and irritating to Moon's sight.Doll, upon hearing Moon whispered Lunar Invel's name, took a peek at the man. She could clearly remember what Moon had told her. Lunar Invel was one of the adopted children of his parents. Now that the man he used to know was sharing faces with this evaluator, what would Moon do?
Chapter 19: Lamia High's FestivitiesMoon has no other expressions on his face except anger. It was clear.Lucas also kept quiet as his eyes were locked on his cousin. Suddenly, he laughed. "Moon, I didn't realize that you were this interesting. You know what? I already knew you. With your parents again?"Moon hissed a cold sigh. It was bitter. He sought to keep his emotions vague and decided to look not as irritated as he currently was. "If you had nothing to help, please cut that out, Lucas."He was taken aback. He never heard Moon talk to him that way again after they argued about the incident of his parents for so long. He finally realized what he was getting at."You said you don't want to be like me, so why are you being mad like that?" Lucas replied calmly, as he realized that his cousin was not in a mood for his humor."It was such a pity, Lucas. You
Chapter 20: Child He Used to EntertainLucas trailed to the hallway of the third floor and noticed the strange atmosphere within the place. He had spotted Doll standing over at the edge of the floor, looking down as if talking into someone below her.Everyone around him was looking enthusiastic and animated. Some were having their bags behind them and hopping cockily like a bunny or rabbit. What was the commotion now?He walked towards Doll and started to pat her left shoulder. "Doll. Where was Moon?" he asked.Doll looked over him. "Why are you asking me?" she laughed. Her aura was light and joyful. "Wasn't he with you before you enter the school? I should be the one asking you that. Where is Moon?""Well, that man probably was still angry with me." He began to lean at the metal rods that prevented anyone from falling. It was the border of the floor. "After I had berated him in
Chapter 21: Rock in a Treasure ChestDoll didn't know if she can believe what the old man Rios had said. But he was the only one she spoke to when they visited her town. She hasn't had the chance to know if it's true because, after the mess that happened in the town square, Principal Lyns went to them instantly when she had heard what happened. Since that time, they went back as per the Headmaster's request.Principal Lyns was angry. What Doll did was very risky. Just a small mistake and it will become a big mess. She nearly dragged Doll alongside her inside the car. She can't understand why was his Dad was this strict to make her be watched out by Principal Lyns.But if there was one thing Doll was thankful for, that was when Principal Lyns gave some serious punishments to those four men who have made the trouble to the old man Rios.Doll couldn't sleep that night. Or even the next night. She was wo
Chapter 22: Go Before I Drag You!Lucas went out of the Null Room holding his almost crushed arm. He staggered towards the door and barely managed to stand after being hit by that metal rod earlier. He started to have trouble with his breathing and he smelled the strong scent of his own blood.He tried to stand up again and suddenly felt his body falling. He decided to use his broken arm to support himself as he bumped the wall instead. The pain intensified as he laid his back on the wall with his weakened knees. His back had been hit many times.It was a few meters before he reached the open door. He held the doorway and fell on his knees. His whole body later fell and lay on the floor as he closed his eyes. The pain was so severe that he felt he was about to die. Those guys have to pay for this!He opened his eyes to witness that he was now outside the Null Room. He was facing the floor of the hall
Chapter 23: There's No Other Option"Is the dosage enough?""We can add more.""But that would hurt him.""He's Lucas. He can take it."Lucas felt a thin and sharp object entering some portion of his skin from his right arm. He could feel the strange sensation of the fluid flowing out of it and sipping into his body. The effect it brought was painful to him. He almost winced as he felt that he was laying down on a bed; he felt like floating."I told you, the dosage is too much. I'm worried.""Lucas can handle that dose."He finally felt the whole effect of that fluid inside him. It was the most painful thing he knew! More painful than the Null Room incident. It felt like he was banging his head on the wall. He closed his eyes hardly because of the pain.After which, he started to familiarize himse
