The way to become the Great Sorcerer

Chapter 53: Stubborn Minds

“Okay, so today for personal reasons one student will transfer to your class. He’s from class-d and I’m sure all of you know this face,” Their teacher gives the new student a side-eyed. All of the classrooms vibes suddenly went gloomy as their new classmate glares at them.

“AH! You’re the rampaging gorilla back in the cafeteria!” Neveah shouted while standing up now all of their attention went back to her again. Larcade face palmed feeling a second-hand embarrassment of the actions of his cousin. ‘Neveah, please don’t do stupid things for the welfare of yourself,’ He thought. The said ‘rampaging-gorilla’ stared at the girl in bewilderment and then said in an ominous manner, “Huh?”. And it was at this moment she knew, she f*cked up. 

Everyone in the room was silent. No one dared to say a word as Lucas’s glares bore into Neveah. She stood there awkwardly. Larcade and Axel stared at her worried for her safety now that the rampaging gorilla noticed her. “Neveah, please sit down.” The awkward atmosphere was broken by their history teacher. Neveah quickly sat down on her seat without any defiance. But, Lucas was still following her with his eyes. 

“He is Lucas Eastwood because of personal reasons the principal himself suggested that he should be transferred to another section. And, our class was chosen since you are fewer than most of the other sections. “ He said his voice was stern and everybody was listening intently. Suddenly, He glance at Neveah which made the said girl flinch at his stares. “So I will assume that you’ll behave yourself.” Neveah squirm in his seat feeling his statement hit her heart.  “Lucas,” He then called out to the guy that was standing near the board. “Sit behind Neveah.” Just with three words the said students, Lucas and Neveah felt their world crashing down. “Axel, change your seat.”

‘The fck is he thinking?’ Neveah said with her head down low as he saw Lucas approach him. She squeezed her eyes feeling the ominous forbidding as he felt the said guy pass by her. Lucas sat down on his chair and he could feel whispers everywhere. This made him furrow his eyes. The whispering suddenly went louder on his side. With no patience to endure it he snap his head in the direction of the students whispering and glared at them. Because of fear they stopped their whispering and lower their heads. Lucas clicked his tongue. Suddenly someone caught his eyes. And when he panned his attention to that direction he was taken aback by what he saw.

“Hi!” Suddenly his attention was interrupted when someone blocked his view. He look up to who it was. A tall guy with light brown locks was standing in front of him. “Oh my gosh, wow, You are really Lucas Eastwood The 2nd champion in the national boxing competition.” Axel blabbed in front of Lucas. Neveah was sitting there listening to Axel’s blabber. She felt the second-hand embarrassment radiating off of Axel. Lucas stared at the talking Axel with no thoughts and head empty just confused about who this guy talking to him. He wonders how he can talk when he was aware that the teacher was there but he realized as he panned toward the direction of the blackboard the two teachers who were once present was not found. ‘That’s why he’s roaming freely,’ He thought leaning his head on his hands. 

Suddenly Axel was pulled by the girl sitting in front of Lucas. She grabbed his neck forcefully and whisper something in his ear. “What are you doing, himbo?” Neveah said leaning close to Axel. ‘; I told you he’s Lucas! I wanted to talk to him for a very long time,” He said with excitement and Lucas sit there with a blank expression. ‘Do they know that I can hear them?’ He thought. 

“Chill, fanboy. Just so you know that guy can get you flying if you mess with him. I only know that back in the cafeteria!” Neveah said frantically, “His eyes I can see red on them and, and, he really looks like a rampaging go---” She was cut off by a throat behind them. They slowly turn their heads in the direction of Lucas. They felt fear in their entire body when he stared at the both of them. “Neveah!” A voice called out to the girl who was quivering in fear. Neveah panned her head and saw Larcade approaching them. Finding a good chance to escape, he push Axel and went behind Larcade. Her cousin was confused about the actions she and Axel showed.

Lucas followed Neveah with his eyes and his senses stopped when he saw the guy that she hid behind. It was nothing Lucas ever felt but he feel a sense of wanting to get closer to the said guy. Something about the guy made him feel something that he can’t explain. Like a connection but he can’t define if it was bad or not. Larcade noticed his stares and felt uncomfortable. I mean a delinquent staring at you, you probably should send a farewell message to your family in advance. Axel noticed Larcade and block him out of Lucas’s view. 

The said guy was confused. Lucas stared at the guy blocking Larcade. The shorter male of them all was also genuinely bewildered. “It’s P.E.,” He said staring at Lucas’s eyes. The two cousins watch feeling an unusual vibe coming from the both of them. It also did not help since the two males were towering over them. “Yes,” Lucas said with a smile. This made Axel feel a shiver down his spine. “Let’s go,” Larcade said and walks off. Neveah immediately followed him. Axel and Lucas stared at each other for a second before walking away. Axel followed Neveah and Larcade. Lucas on the other hand went to borrow some of his friend P.E clothes.

The P.E Teacher was currently saying something at the front. Students including Larcade, Neveah, and Axel were listening to her. Lucas, even though he borrowed gym clothes he was still ditching this class. He was in the stock room. Just napping until the end of class. The P.E teacher instructs them that girls and boys would be divided into 2 sports. Girls would play volleyball and the boys would play basketball. Their teacher instructs them about the rules and all the things they had to know and eventually, they played out. Since there are more boys than girls and the number of the boys in total was odd so some students were off the bench sitting. Students that are especially weak in their physical system and students who are useless and have no special skills in basketball, that include Larcade. Due to his height and petite body he was immediately excluded by his team. Larcade was used to it. He knows his body and he won’t do anything stupid just to join them playing, he would rather sit on a bench as he did now and do nothing but watch.

Someone suddenly sit beside Larcade that made him raise one of his eyebrows. Larcade looks at the guy up-and-down, “Let me guess they kick you out,” Larcade commented and the said guy beside him just reply with a smile. “ My height contributes to the game my lack of reaction-time did not,” The guy beside him said with a smile. “Axel, I see you’ve been kicked out again!” Their gym teacher approached them and pat the said guy’s head. “I told you if you had entered the basketball club your height would not be gone to waste.” The teacher said in a loud voice as she smacks Axel’s back repeteadly. Axel hold back a whimper, “And, yet it did.”

Suddenly a shout was heard in a distance. All three of them were alerted and panned their heads in the direction. But their eyes widen especially Larcade as he sees a ball coming straight to him. The entire scene went slow-mo as Larcade readied himself by raising both of his arms expecting the ball to hit him in the face but suddenly a smack was heard. When he opened his eyes an arm was blocking his face. A certain part of that person’s arms was red indicating that he hit his arms with the flying ball. The owner was behind Larcade and because of worry Larcade snapped his head behind him and was surprised to see who it was. Tall and dark hair. Larcade stared at his eyes and something red was glowing but he quickly dismissed it thinking that it may be just a trick of the light. “Lucas?”
