17 The Selected Participants

Lucas, Moon and Doll slept with smiles on their faces. As they woke up, they prepared themselves for the celebration. But for Lucas, it wasn't about having fun. He will attend just to know all his upcoming enemies at the selection.

Their preparations were all done. At the school, Doll entered at the hall first. "Where is Princ.i.p.al Lyns?" Lucas asked Moon. Wearing just a casual maroon s.h.i.+rt and an elegant pants, Lucas was so gentle in appearance.

Moon turned his head. Wearing beige s.h.i.+rt and light brown silk pants, his chained necklace complimented his look. "I haven't seen her yet." he replied.

Inside, Doll commingled with everyone. Wearing light blue c.o.c.ktail and s.h.i.+ny sandals, Doll sat at a chair near Ghaile. "Ah, so you were also selected?" Doll was full of shock. Who knew this little girl would be selected.

"Yes, just like my idol Winter." Ghaile left a smile on her face. She was a known Enchanter. As the two continued talking, Winter entered the scene..

"So you were selected, Doll?" Winter expressed happiness. She was a strong girl with a soft heart. "You know Lucas, right?" she asked.

"Yes." Doll chuckled. Lucas was sure saying the truth that time. Winter really met him. "He's outside with my— Um, he's just outside..." she shook her head.

Ghaile and Winter looked at her in contempt. Was she talking about Moon? "Yes, he was over there!" Moon happened to enter the hall and being unnoticed.

"Speaks of the devil.." Ghaile contemporarily whispered to Ghaile while being comically watched by Doll.

"Yeah, the real Devil you spoke.. remembered he studied at Devil Cla.s.s.." Winter comically whispered to Ghaile.

Moon suggested a cheer with Doll, but the girl was shy to even cheer in front of Winter and Ghaile. She just drink her wine as result.

As everyone partied it out because they were selected for the whole-school evaluation, they just need to rest and unwind.

After some time, Princ.i.p.al Lyns came late as always. Before she can enter the hall, Lucas grabbed her hand. "Ms. Lyns!" Lucas shouted.

Princ.i.p.al Lyns tried to break free. "Why?!" she whispered in rage. "I have to a.s.sess the partic.i.p.ants." she walked out.

"Did you spoke the truth to Shad?" Lucas continued, making Princ.i.p.al Lyns to stop. "Am I really G.o.dly Potentiated?"

Princ.i.p.al Lyns saw Lucas' disappointment. "No one in their right minds would try to beat Two Bastions at their determination alone. That would just be courting death." she replied.

Lucas became obviously disappointed.

"Lucas, you did really well that time. Your technique is on par with the two and the delivery of your attacks were more powerful than them." Princ.i.p.al Lyns said with her head bowed. "As long as you stick with what you are good at and persevere, one day you will definitely represent our school to the tournament!"

He understood what she meant. That would be the peak that belonged to him, completely different from what Two Bastions created.

He felt expectation rising in his heart despite his unhappiness, and said to himself softly, "Yes… the pinnacle that belongs to me, what would that look like?"

Lucas drank up the wine in his gla.s.s as if tensed, and then lifted his head, "Princ.i.p.al Lyns, thank you."

"Why are you thanking me? I'll be more than thankful if you stop torturing yourself." Seeing that he was fine, Princ.i.p.al Lyns became sarcastic again, saying, "I can't believe you were this dumb to follow that idiotic Mr. Vacio in pus.h.i.+ng yourself to your limits?! Are you trying to trick him, how much do you hate him?! Are you trying to make him reject and then cry over you?!"

He replied sheepishly in a thick voice, "But I've defeated the Two Bastions, right…?"

"Even if you did, you are not in a good enough condition to battle such number of opponents all at once!"

"But you told Shad Cagney this last few days that I performed it perfectly…"

"I was lying to him! You believed me?! Are you as dumb as he is?!"

He was unable to say anything to her rant and simply kept quiet until she said her piece and turned to leave.

After Princ.i.p.al Lyns had walked away and entered the hall, Lucas dejectedly went to have his wine drank before going back to the hall to meet the other partic.i.p.ants, feeling utterly exhausted.

As Princ.i.p.al Lyns stepped inside the hall, all of the people present there looked at her in shock. "Partic.i.p.ants.." she said proudly. "Let's welcome our dear evaluators that help our school to judge your performances this year's evaluation!"

Moon and Doll stopped and wait for the evaluators to enter. Few unknown evaluators entered the hall and applauded by the students. Lucas simply entered the hall by the alternative entrance.

Trying to spot Moon and Doll, Lucas heard Princ.i.p.al Lyns shouting Mr. Vacio's name. Students clapped, as Lucas saw the man himself again. Such face again and again made him sick.

Doll turned to Ghaile and whispered to her something. Making Moon curious, he just wait for the next evaluator.

As a young man entered, he was left nothing but shocked when he learned that the man was his lifetime foe, "Lunar Invel?!"
