The Two Bastions have left the school as Lucas and Lyns were talking. Their exact whereabouts now are unknown.

Meanwhile, Lucas opened the Room 467, where Moon was supposed to be practicing. After all, they have only tomorrow to practice, and that next day after it is the Overall Skill Selection.

"This time I failed to handle it well." Moon reflected on himself, something that he did not do often.

Lucas shook his head. "It's not your fault."

Moon's forehead was pulled into a deep frown. "This is a problematic situation."

Lucas asked, "What should we do?"

His cousin gave him a stare. "I want to hear your thoughts."

Lucas raised his head, wearing a smile on her face and coldness in her eyes. "I talked to him, yes! It isn't a big deal, I'll just admit it."

Moon broke into a slow smile. This young man's att.i.tude was just what he was looking for. It was also expected.

Lucas admitted that he talked to Mr. Vacio. This admission did not mean he admitted to all the allegations, but—

"Yes, I talked to him, and so?"

This sentence with his signature was displayed all over the school and immediately incited a ruckus. The rumors and gossips went crazy.

Lucas went home with a disguise, to avoid to be stampeded by the students. Having the disguised Moon on his side, they both glued the last sentence on the front of the school's ground floor before escaping.

"Hey, it's Lucas!"

That shout caught the attention of everyone in the vicinity and some took a video of him using their cellular phones.

Some tried to chase him, but to no avail.

The sentences Lucas and Moon glued last were captured, and was posted on every social media platforms, including the School's Social Media Channel.

Soon, everyone including onlookers who knew nothing at all about the truth or only had a vague idea of the situation started to criticize 'Lucas' after looking at the School's Social Media post. They said that he was a hypocrite and that he should not become a part of the competing team for the tournament. They spoke as if they were standing on a moral high ground, and wrote with eloquence as they criticized everything about him.

In just several hours, Lucas was now considered as a notorious in the Academy.

Even his official Social Media channel was full of angry people scolding him. Every update was filled with the worst insults and wrong hearsays.

---

Lucas sat in front of his computer, reading those Media posts and insults with his cousin Moon in his dormitory.

Moon said, "This is maybe just the start. Are you afraid?"

The blue light from the computer screen reflected on Lucas' face, making a light shadow under his head. He turned his head slightly, "What is there to be afraid of?"

His voice was very low, as always. It was also thick and raspy. He had been through greater storms and waves than these before, what was this compared to those?

Moon smiled, "Then, let's put the plan into motion."

"What plan?" Lucas unknowingly asked. Moon just grinned as a response.

...

Lucas raised his hands and stretched to relax his bones. He laid back and gently typed a sentence on the keyboard of his computer.

"I talked to him because I need to. As to why I need to, he would know it in his a.s.s. He would also know whether or not he actually had a second degree or a mere burn to presume."

He unhesitatingly pressed SEND.

There was a great commotion in Social Media again. This time, more people started to curse at him.

"What do you mean by you need to? Lucas Martin, explain yourself clearly if you're truly innocent!"

"Why aren't you telling us the reason? That's because you have a guilty conscience, Fire Starter!"

"Yeah, it was clearly you who had insisted for a sabotage for White Day. Mr. Vacio was avoiding himself for getting into the trouble. And you also burned him, stop lying!"

"You're scared and looking for an excuse now, that's why so many of us are scolding you!"

"Exactly! A coward that is trying to accuse others! Putting the blame out of him!"

"Mr. Vacio had a deep burn all because of you! How come you are still trying to frame him up for faking it?! You shameless Aspho-still-man!"

"You're rubbish of a person without a single cell of a White! You Aspho!"

"You're so cruel! I regret watching your G.o.dly Potential Evaluation!!"

"Let's boycott Lucas Martin!!"

"Let's boycott Lucas Martin!!"

"Let's boycott Lucas Martin!!"

All the boos culminated in one chant. "Let's boycott Lucas Martin!!" This was repeated nonstop in the Social Media thread. Countless reposted this Social Media post together with the chant. The scale of it was ma.s.sive as if they were not going to stop unless he had been chased out of the School Division.

Lucas quietly closed his computer screen. "What a pain in the a.s.s!!"
