บท 3: Betrayal?

Lucas turned to look at where the voice was coming from.

Turns out it was Hector who said it in such a loud and arrogant voice.

"You're just a trash grimoire awakener. Who wants to go home with you anyway? Only a fool and other talentless trash will go with you!" Hector continued.

Their classmates laughed loudly upon hearing their words. Lucas also saw that at the corner of his eyes, even Anjie herself produced a light giggle hearing Hector's words.

Lucas frowned at his attitude. Although Hector was quite haughty and arrogant before, he had never acted this way toward him. This was the first.

Nevertheless, Lucas ignored his provocative words. He was not someone who only had a tiny brain that would respond to any provocation just like that. 

Of course, due to him working almost 9-5 daily from his previous life, he was actually quite petty and liked to hold grudges. Especially to his senior employees who liked to take advantage of him.

Lucas turned to look at Anjie one more time with an inquiring attitude. However, Anjie merely shrugged her shoulders before she stood up to go forward and join the group surrounding Hector.

Hector smirked triumphantly as he reached out to hold Anjie's waist.

Lucas felt bitter seeing such a scene.

However, knowing that it would only benefit and inflate their ego if he flared up now, he forcefully calmed his emotions down as he walked out of the room.

Behind him, laughter could be heard and some snide remarks even entered his ears.

"Hah! That dude still thinks that he's a genius."

"Yeah, right. Awakening an Unranked Grade Grimoire… It's basically the end for him. There won't be coming back from this set back at all,"

"Well, that's for the better. I have always hated that kid for acting such a smartass before. Now, he is still smart, but will his intelligence help him in killing high level beasts inside the dungeon? Hmmp!"

"Sigh! Such a pity. With such a low-level grimoire, it would be a miracle if he's able to kill a beast. And without killing a beast, how could he level up and grow stronger?"

"A pity, indeed!"

Hearing the remarks and mockery of his classmates, Lucas' gritted his teeth in anger and could only clenched his fist at his side as he walked out of the classroom.

The sting of betrayal from Anjie and the disdain of his peers cut deep, yet Lucas knew he couldn't afford to let his emotions take over. He had to stay focused.

Fortunately, his relationship with Anjie was not that deep yet, else, he would have felt that he had obtained and worn a strange colored hat after this experience.

Although he felt a sting of betrayal, it was not that deep and Lucas felt that he would be able to recover in.. a few hours at least.

As a person who lived around twenty years of life from his previous life, Lucas was not overly sentimental toward Anjie. It was just that he had grown up with her and they had become quite close recently, causing him to develop some feelings. 

Naturally, by the way how Anjie acted toward him, he also assumed that Anjie felt the same.

Now, Lucas realized that all of it was superficial and might just be her act to make him fall in love and get infatuated with her.

'What a devious character,' he sighed and commented inwardly as he began walking home.

At this point of time, the whole Starlight Academy was still bustling with activity. It was already a known fact that today would be the day for the 2nd year students to awaken their grimoire and determine their fate.

As he looked around the people he passed by, Lucas realized that there were a lot of emotions that he could see from the students. Some were happy, some were sad, while others were content. It was apparent that the second year student's mood at this current instance was all due to their fate being determined by the awakening of their grimoire.

In this life, his parents were not rich and they were not extremely poor either. They were just living a pretty average life, but both his parents loved him very much, hence, he wanted to study hard and give back to them and make them proud.

His parents had always felt proud due to his achievements in school.

In his previous life, he had not experienced the love of his real parents as they died early and he was adopted by an abusive relative.

Experiencing such a warm life in this world, Lucas, of course felt different and sentimental. 

Anjie's and their classmate's betrayal was nothing to him. 

However, if it was his parents who acted that way to him, Lucas would surely feel heartbroken and would not be able to recover for a long time.

This time, although he still had confidence due to the system, he still felt nervous as to what kind of reactions his parents would have toward his awakening.

Both his parents were only Iron Grade Grimoire users. Their achievements were nothing strong, and they could only act as normal day laborers for others with their low-level beasts and strength.

His mother worked as a laundry maid for others during the weekend with the help of her beast, the Squirt Turtle while his father worked in a construction company and was always basking in the sun daily with the help of his Strong Ape.

His father's income was rather low and his mother only earned a handful to mitigate some of their expenses. 

Fortunately, his mother and father were also smart and quite prudent and planned very well. They did not have another child aside from him, knowing that they could not support another.

In fact, his mother and father even joked that he was only an accident… and that he was only conceived because his mother miscalculated her ovulation period.

Still, the two of them welcome him wholeheartedly in this life and they said that they did not regret having such a beautiful accident happen to them from time to time.

Anyway, even though his father and mother were quite thoughtful, they still could not escape the fate of having an Iron Grade Grimoire.

In this day and age, having such a grimoire meant that one was destined not to become successful, how much if it was like him who only has an Unranked Grade Grimoire.

This was why he was afraid that even his loving parents would reject him upon knowing what kind of grimoire he awakened.

Their house was not that far from Starlight Academy. His father's work was not far from the academy either so they made the decision to move here a few years ago in order to prepare for Lucas' future as well.

After half an hour of walking, Lucas finally saw the place that he could call home.

This home, however, was quite small and ordinary. This 'home' whatsoever was only rented to them by one of their neighbors for a considerable amount of Unity Coin.

His stride became faster as he raised his hand to knock on the shabby wooden door after a few moments of hesitation.

He gritted his teeth in nervousness as he knocked a few more times before the shabby door was finally opened.

At that moment, a warm voice entered his ears.

"Luke, you're home."

บท 4: Warmth Of A Family

As the warm voice entered his ears, Lucas could not help but visibly paused.

At that moment, the door was opened, revealing a gentle woman with a warm and welcoming smile on her face.

"Quick, come in, I have already prepared dinner for you and your father. He just texted me that he is on his way home as well," her mother, Rosana, stated with a welcoming gesture toward her son.

As far as he could remember, his mother had always been gentle and kind toward him and his father. She was also very hard working, taking care of both her husband and son wholeheartedly. Lucas had never heard her complain toward them, no matter how hard their life was, not even once.

For such a loving mother, Lucas had always been grateful.

"I'm home," a warm smile etched over Lucas' face as he finally took a step to enter the so-called home.

This so-called home was quite small. Their dining room and small kitchen was all in one place, and there was only a small space in front to entertain guests if there were any. There were only two rooms, one for him, and the other for his mother and father. They live frugally and don't have any lavish furniture, only buying the most basic necessities needed for daily survival.

As a man from another world who experienced better things, of course, Lucas was not satisfied with this way of life. For him, having a loving family was not enough. He must let them experience bliss and make them worry-free for life. He had been working hard in his studies and did not dare to slack-off, all for the grand ambition of becoming rich and giving back to his parents.

Unfortunately, in this world, studying hard and topping the class does not guarantee one's future achievement. It would help, but such help would only amount to nothing if not paired by good talent determined through the grimoire.

Not long later, a robust figure knocked on the door of their house. Lucas stood up and opened the door to see his father, Lumbert. A man with a huge build and vigorous face. He has a face full of beard, the kind that accentuated his looks and muscular build. His father once joked that he was a lady-killer during their high-school days, earning a harrumph from his mother at that time.

In terms of looks, his mother and father indeed did not fail. They were pretty good looking, allowing Lucas to inherit their looks without fail.

In his previous world, such looks of his father and mother might even allow them to become small-time celebrities. Unfortunately, in this world, one must not only have a good look to become a successful actor or celebrity. If they vie to become one, they must also have a good beast and good grimoire to support their career.

Anyway, upon entering the house, his father smiled widely and ruffled his hair before walking toward his mother who was still cooking.

She looked at his father's huge stride with a stern look before saying, "Ah-uh, wash your hands first, you might accidentally contaminate the food I'm cooking."

Lucas chuckled lightly after seeing that his father slumped weakly after hearing his mother's words. Lucas remembered that everytime he came home, he would go straight to his mother and hug her tightly. At first, it was pretty awkward for Lucas, but he had grown used to it and he would even find it unusual if his father did not hug or kiss his mother upon arriving home.

Anyway, the room went unusually quiet after his father made his 'ritual'. The two of them knew that today was Lucas' awakening day, but they never spoke about it, just silently waiting for their son to make an announcement himself.

The two of them considered this day a big occasion, they even took some money from their savings just to buy meat so they could eat delicious food to celebrate today's occasion.

However, not saying anything was even more unbearable for Lucas who did not know what to say and where to start.

Should he directly tell them that he awakened an Unranked Grade Grimoire and follow it up by saying that there was no need to worry as he still has reassurance?

Yet, for the current Lucas, the matter of his future and how to announce it was not what he was afraid of.

What he was afraid of was the reaction his mother and father would have upon learning that he had awakened such a weak grimoire.

The thought of rejection and abandonment filled him with dread. He was afraid of feeling such emotions, especially if it came from his loving parents.

Time moved swiftly in this small place called home.

Lucas' mother prepared and served their dinner. He helped by bringing some plates to the table, while his father, due to the nature of his work, was quite tired, hence, was only resting on his reclining chair, waiting for the duo to call him over to eat.

The aroma of meat wafted over Lucas' nose. For such a grand occasion, Lucas noticed that even his mother had used her treasured condiments to make it even more delicious.

As Lucas took a sip of the hot broth, it brought warmth toward his throat. The feeling traveled through his stomach as he felt the warmth and love of his mother through this hot broth.

His father did not speak anything, just silently slurping the broth and eating the tender meat. For him, this was the best compliment for a cook.

As he finished his serving, a resolute glint finally appeared on his eyes.

"Mom, dad…" he spoke as he looked at his mother and father.

The duo looked at each other before they decided to stop eating, waiting for Lucas to continue.

"My awakening…" Lucas clenched his fist under the table.

He knew that he must make this step, regardless of his parent's reaction.

He only hesitated for a bit before he continued with an action.

He silently summoned his Unranked Grade Grimoire, presenting it over to his parents with his head hanging low. Even though he already steeled his resolve, he still does not dare to look at his parent's eyes and reaction.

His parents looked at the unremarkable grimoire that floated before them. They looked at each other and released a relieved sigh.

At the next moment, his father's stern voice entered his ears.
