Chapter 251 251:Are You Willing To Bet On Your Limbs?

After a whole many days of speculation, the academy finally reopened. However many students were still absent and were taking their time to digest the incident.

As per those whose soul were damaged, now they can only depend on fate to show a miracle.

Some were even thinking about dropping out. If you are from one of the top nobles, it is not as if you are gonna lose something important by dropping.

The sole reason for them to enroll here was to build connections and battle among their peers for superiority.

In Lucas's class, which has been changed to A-1, in the absence of Ami, Donald took over the first class with a smiling gentle face.

The atmosphere of the class was quite weird to begin with.

Previously, the class had been divided into three factions, Charles, Frederick and Rose taking over the girls group.

But all of them had come closer after the class battle Royal, however after Lucas confronted Frederick things had frozen between the two.

"I hope you are doing okay and had a fair share of fun."

The moment he said this many pairs of eyes glared at him as if asking if he had gone insane.

"We took days off to digest and recuperate, not to have fun." A boy spoke bluntly.

"It's all the same." Donald nodded.

"By the way, congratulations for performing well. This class had some talented people in here."

The atmosphere froze as soon as Donald raised the topic.

As the matter of ranks arose, Charles and Parth along with many stared at Lucas with complicated expressions.

Many of them were looking forward to his rank but to their disbelief, he wasn't ranked.

Things haven't been good for him and many rumours now paint him as a bad guy who sabotaged the Academy resources for his profit.

On top of that, this was the first time Charles had heard such a stupid and unreasonable reason to deprive one's rank. He was sincerely worried about him and even asked his father to help, who assured him that he would talk to the Vice-Principal.

While Frederick stared at Lucas with complicated eyes, Axel stared at him with pity.

'Poor guy. He was cheering me up that I didn't have a chance to be in the top 10 but he didn't even get a rank. Don't worry Lucas, I don't look down on you. I believe in you.'

Rose and Helena know the insider information and also add more pity to what he is receiving.

Parth, who was peeking at Lucas' expression, was also worried about this to the point that he was chewing his nails out of anxiety.

But the reason for his worry was greatly different from others.

'This can't be happening. I can't believe this. I bet all my fortune that Lucas would be in the top 5 but this piece of shit isn't even ranked.'

'Fuck, I am broke. I am bankrupt.'

'Did he get some insider pieces of information and pull some cards so that he isn't ranked after gambling on himself? Knowing him, I am sure he can do this.'

'Damn it!' Parth cursed inwardly as his heart bled.

If Lucas heard this, he would have beaten this bastard to pulp after all, he had bet 100k on himself that he would be in the top 5 but due to someone's interference his money had been stripped so Lucas was in a foul mood.

Lucas notices everyone gazes at him and tries to contain his urge to shout.

'Stop looking at me like that. If you want to pity someone, pity those idiot Professors. They don't have many days to remain here.'

Seeing the uneasy atmosphere prevailing around, Donald coughed a bit trying to ease things.

"There might be some problems here and there but don't worry. All will be good once the Vice-Principal arrives.'' Donald spoke, pushing back his specks.

"Everyone has done their best so don't need to be upset about the final result. For those who are in the top 10, I believe you should prepare yourself for things to come. Once Sir Josh comes, you will get a reward and access to the labyrinth."

At that time Donald saw someone jumping on his seat and waving his hand.

"What happened?"

"Excuse me, Sir but exactly is that labyrinth, you are talking about? I have heard it many times, but what is it particularly?"

lightsnοvεl Donald stared at the boy solemnly for a moment and made him curl back in his seat.

"The Labyrinth is an ancient site of the previous era. According to Seers, the powerhouse of the previous Era built a site of testing that might be helpful to the next generation. As for what is in the Academy Labyrinth. I don't know. Only those who have entered there know its profoundness."

"So, those of you who got the chance to go there, please make sure to utilize this opportunity well."

Donald, after giving a brief speech, took his leave after which students started to murmur.

Frederick, who was sitting silently, stood up and walked towards Lucas.

The entire class descended into silence while some geared themselves up to witness an epic confrontation.

Rose frowned with a worried expression and stared at Frederick's group of friends seeing them not reacting she fell into a dilemma wondering if she should act in case these two fight but after pondering a bit she decided to observe.

'I hope Frederick doesn't let his stupidity get the better of him.'

Frederick stood before Lucas but before he could speak, his heart became uneasy seeing his expression.n-.0VeLbIn

Lucas faced Frederick's darkened face with a gentle smile on his lips but those eyes seemed to shoot daggers at him.

"Lucas, we need to talk."

Lucas stared at Frederick with a smile while trying to figure out this guy's thoughts.

'Does he want to pull to the side and get rid of me?'

Lucas took a moment feeling intense gazes locking him.

Lucas' lips twitched as he glanced around.

'Come on, guys. It's not as if we are deadly enemies.'

"What do you want to talk about?" He asked nonchalantly.

"Not here."

Lucas just got from his seat and nodded.

"Follow me."

Frederick stepped ahead but stopped seeing Parth and Charles following behind.

"Now, why are you following us."

"We..."Before Charles could answer, Parth blurted out.

"To witness the epic showdown."

BANG!

Charles hit the back of Parth's head with a glare.

Frederick sighed seeing the tense situation.

"Don't worry, we are not going to fight. We are just going to have a peaceful conversation."

However, seeing Charles and Parth's disbelieving look, Frederick gave a bitter smile.

"Am I really that untrustworthy?"

"....."

Frederick smiled and ceased seeing the trio keeping their lips shut.

Lucas laughed inwardly seeing Frederick's expression.

"Okay, enough jokes. I believe he won't do anything bad.'' Lucas assured them and followed Frederick to the garden.

'In fact, he can't.'

Cause unlike before Lucas is not gonna take things lying.

Frederick led Lucas towards the garden up to the borders of Blood Peach forest which was desolate.

He observed Lucas here and was surprised to see him looking around with a carefree expression and whistling while his hands wrapped behind his head.

Seeing this, Frederick decides to act.

Summoning his spear that appeared out of thin air, Frederick turned his body swiftly and swung the other end of the metallic rod spear straight at Lucas' head.

BOOM!

A loud shockwave resonated sweeping the dust and debris that created a smoke screen before him.

Frederick had almost used all his strength to attack but to his surprise, as the dust dispersed he saw Lucas blocking his move casually with his left hand that gripped the other end of the spear-like pincers.

"I don't know the intention behind this move of yours but....."

Lucas tilted his head to the side, casting a crazy smile that shook Frederick's heart wildly.

"Do you think you think you can handle the repercussions of attacking me cause unless you have the power of peak 6-Star, even if you don't die I will make sure you lose more than a limb."

Lucas held the spear tightly not letting Frederick get it back and stared deep into Frederick eyes with a chilly expression .

"So, my dear Frederick.Are you willing to bet on your arms cause I am not only ready but I am prepared enough to bet my life on this fight."
