360  Student Council [3]

Amidst the path that Lucas and Sunny were walking, there were many students around them as the path was bustling with students searching for a suitable club.

As Lucas and Sunny were playing pushing and pulling Sunny staggered and stumbled to the boy at the side.

The boy looked at Sunny with a venomous gaze and roared "Asshole can't you see where you step."

"Sorry. I just staggered in my steps".Roan shuttered in his speech, seeing the boy angry look.

" Asshole who are you kidding. I have seen many donkey-like you who had their brain in their knees."

"Do you think this daddy will just leave you?" The boy spoke angrily.

As Lucas was partially responsible for it, he felt slight guilt so he tried to calm down the matter by asking for an apology

" Buddy, sorry for the inconvenience."Lucas apologized in an earnest tone.

"Let's forget about this matter "Lucas scanned the boy from head to toe seeing his rough attitude.

After living around in the academy for a while, Lucas had already taken note of the noble lackeys and the boy before he didn't belong to any faction.

" Who the hell are you to disrupt my speech."The boy looked at Lucas in disdain.

Lucas frowned hearing the boy speech. He was starting to get annoyed.

"Bow down and beg for forgiveness and lick my..."

Before he could finish his sentence he felt an intense killing intent that froze him in shock.

As he lifted his eyes to look, he saw the boy with golden eyes which looked dark like a black hole staring at him with a cold icy gaze who was just speaking to him humbly before.

The coldness in his eyes sent a chill down his spine. Warning him to know his place.

The more he looked at him, the more frightened he became and his legs started to tremble.

After coming to this world, the number of monsters Lucas killed were more than hundreds.

Even the ones that were present there took a few steps back feeling the pressure Lucas was giving.

The pressure that was emitted from Lucas's body was palpable, like an oppressive weight that settled over the area. The air seemed to grow colder, and the surrounding students instinctively took a few steps back, their conversations falling silent as they sensed the tension.

The boy who had been so arrogant moments before now stood trembling, his bravado shattered. He stammered, trying to find his voice. "W-what are you...?"

Lucas took a step forward, his gaze unrelenting. "I said, let's forget about this matter. We don't want any trouble, but if you continue to provoke us, you won't like the outcome."

The boy gulped, the fear evident in his eyes. He nodded quickly, his earlier arrogance completely gone. "O-okay, okay. I'm sorry. It was just a misunderstanding."

Lucas's expression softened slightly, and he took a step back, the intense pressure dissipating. "Good. Now let's move on."

Sunny, still shaken but relieved, glanced at Lucas with a mixture of awe and gratitude. "Thanks, man. I thought we were going to get into a real mess there."

Lucas nodded, the tension in his muscles slowly easing. "No problem. Just remember, some people will always try to assert their dominance. We have to stand our ground but not escalate things unnecessarily."

As they continued walking, the students around them began to relax, the normal buzz of conversation gradually returning. Sunny and Lucas resumed their banter, though there was a newfound seriousness in their demeanor.

They finally reached the cafeteria, where the delicious smell of food wafted through the air. The long day and the confrontation had left them both famished. They quickly grabbed trays and joined the line, their earlier tension melting away in the face of hot meals.

Sunny loaded his tray with a variety of dishes, his eyes lighting up at the sight of the food. "Man, I could eat a horse right now."

Lucas laughed, grabbing a generous helping of pasta and some bread. "Yeah, me too. Let's find a seat."

They found a table near the window, the afternoon sun casting a warm glow over their meal. As they ate, the events of the day seemed to fade into the background, replaced by the simple pleasure of good food and good company.

Between bites, Sunny looked at Lucas thoughtfully. "You know, you handled that situation back there really well. I don't think I could've kept my cool like you did."

Lucas shrugged, swallowing a mouthful of pasta. "It's just about knowing when to push back and when to de-escalate. We can't let every little thing get to us, especially in a place like this."

Sunny nodded, chewing thoughtfully. "You're right. "But still, it's impressive. You've got a knack for handling people," Sunny said, admiration evident in his voice.

Lucas gave a small smile, feeling a bit of pride. "Thanks, Sunny. It's all about experience and knowing how to read people. Besides, we can't afford to let small conflicts distract us from the bigger picture."

As they continued their meal, the cafeteria buzzed with activity. Students around them were animatedly discussing the recent announcements, their excitement palpable.

"Speaking of the bigger picture," Sunny said between bites, "are you really considering joining the Student Council?" Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Lucas paused, thinking carefully. "I am not. I think it could be a good opportunity, but I'm also cautious about overcommitting. We already have so much on our plates."

Sunny nodded. "Yeah, I get that. But think about the influence we could have. We could really make a difference."

Lucas leaned back in his chair, contemplating. "True, but we have to weigh that against the time and energy it would take. We're here to become stronger and more capable. If the Student Council helps with that, then maybe it's worth it."

As they finished their meal, Lucas and Sunny continued to discuss the pros and cons of joining the Student Council, their conversation shifting from practical considerations to their broader goals at the academy.

"Whatever we decide," Lucas said, standing up and grabbing his tray, "we have to make sure it's the right choice for us. No one else."

Sunny agreed, rising to his feet as well. "Right. Let's think it over and see how things unfold. We have some time to decide."

They disposed of their trays and exited the cafeteria, the afternoon sun casting long shadows across the campus. The day's events had been intense, but they had also provided clarity and a renewed sense of purpose.

As they walked back towards their dorms, Lucas couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
