It wasn't the darkness he was afraid of, but the complete lack of air in his lungs. It was as if he was in a giant tube without a single thread wrapped around his naked body. There was only water covering his body. Lucas couldn't stand the pain that ravaged his body until, for the last time, darkness was all he saw.
"Lucas, wake up."
Someone shook his body, disturbing his comfortable sleep. He jerked his hand, the person shaking his body harder and harder.
"Noisy!"
The next time, Lucas could no longer enjoy his sleep, and he became curious about a man named Lucas Granville. Otherwise, Lucas Granville's figure shows him in a dark room and himself trapped in a tube filled with water. But someone woke him up, and Lucas couldn't help but wake up and stare fiercely at the person who dared to wake him up.
"I was presumptuous to wake up the young master. You can sleep outside of class. Don't worry, my golem will join you for your nap."
Professor Bathilda's voice was very cold and frightening. What confused Lucas the most was that the Golem lifted his body and took Lucas out of the classroom. He fell asleep and his entire life was still not fully collected.
He couldn't imagine being kicked out of class and standing in the hallway of the classroom, accompanied by a golem that wouldn't let him go.
He had to remain silent for half an hour. When Lucas saw that the first hour was over, he was able to return to class. For half an hour, Lucas had to stand outside the classroom, his legs aching, and the horrible woman just walked away.
Lucas wanted to curse this horrible woman to become a cruel wizard. No. It's better to be a frail and bent old grandmother.
But Lucas' fun had to stop, he accidentally bumped into someone's back as he entered the classroom. This person was a girl with long hair tied in a ponytail. The girl also always wore a cynical face.
This time, Lucas accidentally bumped into the girl and she made a cynical face.
Lucas didn't care at all. It's better to ignore it. But the girl wasn't going to leave Lucas alone. The collar of his uniform was pulled tight, almost suffocating him.
"What is it?" Lucas asked in a nonchalant voice.
"You asked what? Are you really deaf? You bumped into me on purpose."
The girl had a sweet face and big eyes like a doll, but it was terrifying when her voice went up an octave. This girl was almost as scary as Professor Bathilda.
Lucas took a deep breath. He didn't want to deal with women, sometimes women were very difficult to understand.
"I'm sorry to have wronged you, Princess." Lucas bowed. Act like a commoner who has caused trouble with a princess.
The veins on the girl's head became more visible. Lucas ignored him and sat down on the bench, his head resting on the table. Then he slept until the rest period was over.
The sound of the chair being pulled was rough and very loud, making it impossible for Lucas to sleep soundly. The girl sat proudly in her seat.
It's better to ignore problems than to look for them.
"Lucas, don't you want to get something to eat in the cafeteria?"
Lucas turned his head to the side and his stomach made a sound like a drum being beaten very hard. He was very hungry right now, ignoring the annoying girl who was still sitting haughtily in her seat. He'd better look for food in the cafeteria.
The atmosphere in the cafeteria is always lively, especially during recess. The incident three days ago apparently caught the attention of everyone in the cafeteria, from first graders to second graders to third graders. They were all investigating him. Even though Peter had nothing to do, standing next to Lucas, he felt uncomfortable and decided to hide behind Lucas' equally short body.
"Hello everyone. A famous artist is passing by."
Peter held back his embarrassment and fear and walked behind Lucas. But the young man with the bright blue eyes of the moon was going at it with his hands on everyone in the cafeteria. As if it felt good to be famous for causing trouble.
'Lucas, you're right.' Peter could only shout in his heart, he was too embarrassed in front of everyone.
Hi, nice to meet you. Lucas has an extraordinary amount of self-confidence.
He even dared to greet a fifth grader who looked at him with disdain.
"Just garbage!" The third person just walked away.
"What?! You have no manners and called me trash?!" Lucas was like an animal watching a sunset, with a flushed face and a mouth that wouldn't stop chattering.
"Lucas, what are we going to eat?" Peter stopped Lucas, who was sweating profusely. More and more people are paying attention to them.
His current mood is not good. Lucas took whatever food he wanted, including buying expensive food for Peter. Not wanting to hear Peter's protests, they chose seats at the end.
Suddenly, two girls took their seats. Lucas was patient enough with the girl with the ponytail, but she was always looking for trouble with him. After accidentally bumping into him, the girl took her seat without any guilt.
"Hey, ponytail! This is our table."
The ponytailed girl slammed the spoon down on the table, her face red. "You want trouble with me?"
"You're asking for trouble yourself." Lucas was no less fierce and gave her a sharp look.
Two people who had a bad relationship in the beginning were now starting to become hostile. Lucas really hated the girl with the ponytail.
The atmosphere in the cafeteria was very lively, but they didn't see the commotion at the table in the far corner. Peter and the girl with the flower headband tried to calm their two friends who were about to get into a fight.
"Cloe, don't make trouble. We already have seats over there, why do you want to be here?" The girl with the flower headband pointed to an empty table in the front corner.
"Oh, so your name is Cloe and you are deliberately causing trouble with me?"
"You, annoying man!"
They shot sharp glances at each other, neither of them willing to back down. It would be ridiculous if Lucas didn't give in to such a stubborn girl. Lucas exhaled slowly, not wanting to start another argument, and decided to give in.
"Peter, let's just go over there."
Lucas and Peter sat down at the table where the girl named Cloe and the girl with the flower headband were sitting.
Women are very strange and hard to understand. Lucas was about to give in, but Cloe was always looking for a fight with him.
"This is our seat."
Lucas made a stupid face and raised his voice, causing several people to finally look at the commotion. "Peter, shall we look for a place to sit on the roof of the building? It's very difficult to find a comfortable place, but there are always horsetails in the way."
Cloe's face grew even redder, and she banged the spoon until it split in two. Tremendous force, spoons made of certain metals can simply break. The girl named Cloe just left her food on the table.
This was the first time Lucas had met a girl who was always causing trouble, and it seemed like Cloe had a personal grudge against her.
"I'm sorry about my friends. She was wrong, so please forgive her." A girl with a flower headband bowed.
The girl shouldn't have to apologize for her friend. "There is no need to apologize. You didn't do anything wrong." Lucas waved his hand with a friendly smile.
He didn't know what he saw, but the girl's face was red, not because she was angry, but because she was blushing.
"Would you like to join us?"
"Uh, no... that." The girl became increasingly embarrassed, but Lucas continued to insist that the girl join him and Peter. Although she looked shy, the girl joined him and sat down next to Peter.
"We haven't met yet. I'm Lucas Mathias and he's Peter Crouch, what's your name?"
"Hannah Acasha."
The name is as beautiful as the person. But it's true, Hannah looks very beautiful with a flower headband. Getting to know Hannah better, she is the same first grade student as Lucas, only this girl sits in the front seat. But Hannah is good friends with Chole Alexandra. The same goes for Lucas, who is good friends with Peter.
***
Lucas' martial arts skills continue to develop as he trains his magic power and channels mana into attacks. However, what he felt was lacking was the ability to use magic elemental techniques.
Professor Bathilda was the first person to invite him to the Illois Magic Academy, and he still didn't really understand the magic Lucas possessed. A wizard does not have elemental magic techniques. Even though his talent was becoming more and more apparent, this anomaly was still a topic of conversation among the students of Illois Magic Academy.
On the other hand, Baul still has a personal grudge against Lucas and Peter. The big pig blew fire everywhere, especially the favorite who liked to bully Peter. Peter had a thin body, his talents were inadequate, and he became the object of ridicule.
