Misfortune Accident

Lark Inner competition?

In an instant, the students broke into a murmur. Luke, who oblivious to this unconsciously, asked the person beside him, "Hey, what's Lark Inner competition."

Realizing his action, Luke immediately bit his tongue, but it was too late since the person already turned his head to him. It was the same pretty boy who accused him before!

Luke already prepared himself for the boy lashing out at him, but instead of scolding him, the pretty boy said softly, "Simply, it's a competition between students to determine who is the strongest on LSA."

Luke nodded his head blankly since he didn't expect the boy would reply to his question generously.

Seeing Luke's absent-minded state, the pretty boy snorted, "Hmph! I'm not that vengeful person, unlike you, perverts~"

Luke getting more embarrassed at his words but didn't refute due to his help just now. He decides to ignore the boy and focused his gaze on Elder Wayne. Seeing Luke looked away, the pretty boy didn't bother him any further.

"However, the competition this time would be special. Because we already invited respectively two famous academies to watch your performance. Hence, as to not embarrass ourselves, all students are required to attend battle class to improve their strength."

His words brought shock to everyone. Students must be attending the battle class lesson? Wouldn't their credit points get sucked dry to the point they couldn't even eat?

One of the students raised his hand timidly, "I'm sorry Elder Wayne, but most of us had not enough credit points to join the battle class. Is there any other method other than joining the class?"

Elder Wayne grinned and replied, "Of course such problem already considered by us. Thus we agreed to make the battle class don't take your credit points. In other words, the battle class would be free for a month."

Listening to the exciting whisper within the crowd, Luke also feels so delighted that he want to shoutout. With this free program, Luke could level up faster like a flash. Previously, he had always been worried he couldn't level up in LSA since the only opportunity battling was on battle class, and it was expensive. Now this problem is already solved. How can he not thrilled?

Elder Wayne gazed deeply at the excited crowd before reprimanding them, "I hope you take this month seriously because other elders and I expect the best performance of you."

"We will do our best." All students shout in chorus.

"Good! That's the spirit of a youngster! The rules would be published through billboards in each dorm. Now dismiss! I know you need to rest well to maintain your body fit for the lesson tomorrow." Elder Wayne clapped his hand and the barrier that trapping them gradually dissipated.

The students bowed their backs slightly and thanked Elder Wayne before slowly exiting the circle and went to their own ways.

Luke glanced at the spot beside him and noticed the pretty boy already missing. He involuntarily heaved a sigh of relief and started walking to his dorm direction.

On the way, he meets Kuvar, Timothy, and Brian, who were in the middle of walking together.

"How can you leave me alone??" Luke complained as soon as he arrived in front of them.

Kuvar raised his hand up in the air and helplessly said, "That's not my fault! You clearly knew that the place already crowded with many peoples."

The four continued banter with each other as they walk to their dorm.

After they arrived in the dorm, Luke immediately headed to the billboard.

As it's still noon, Luke decides to do a task to earn some credit points. While scrolling through the list, Luke finds the most suitable task for him.

...

-Stadium-

On the wide arena where various holes formed because of different reasons, lying a lean figure with one hand behind his head and one hand raised up and occasionally brushed against the wind as if commanding something. Beside him, present a floating trolley filled with many different materials.

The figure was none other belonged to Luke Lewis. At this time, he used his control ability to move those materials to repair the broken ground. Since the battle lesson would start freely tomorrow, the stadium arena will be used frequently, which is the reason behind Luke's task.

The reward was also not disappointing. 200 credit points for repairing all the holes. Because of it, Luke had to compete with a few people before receiving this task. Fortunately, the ability performed by Luke was the most suitable for handling this task. Thus, they choose him over other people.

[ You've casted "Control" skill repeatedly ]

[ Your INT automatically increased by 1 ]

While Luke was engrossed in his work, a system notification appear before his eyes. This brought him joy since he now knows the FP can be expanded not only through level-up reward.

Due to diverting his attention to system notice, Luke loses his control over his ability and the material that is coincidentally floating above his crotch immediately fell.

"Argh!!" Luke groaned in pain and started rolling on the ground whilst his palm covering his crotch area.

"Damn it! Can you at least notify me before you appear next time?" Luke couldn't help but blame the system which always shows up abruptly.

...

-Night Time at Cafeteria-

Scolding himself for acting recklessly, Luke could only helplessly eat the porridge due to his bad health condition. During doing the task at noon, Luke overdo himself and maintaining his skill till his FP is depleted. Afterward, Luke didn't rest and merely drinking mineral water before continuing his action. What he didn't expect was this deed of him would lead him to an exhaustion state.

<User Status: Exhausted>

<Due to the status, User will receive this following effect;>

<Dizziness>

<Sore throat>

<Slightly feverish>

<All stats points reduced by 50%>

But because of it, Luke could roughly understand how the number on his status bar worked. He got a hunch that after his HP went zero, he wouldn't die immediately. He would probably just go into a dying state just like now, where he got himself into an exhausted state.

Forcing himself to eat the bland porridge, Luke quickly finish it before he stood up, and with an excuse of calling his mother, he went to the terrace. After finishing his task, his mother called him that she already delivered his stuff to the stationed guard. Hence, Luke's goal goes to the terrace was obviously to meet the stranger he was talking to last night.

She seems a nice girl to talk to, and our topic was on the same track. With such a good impression, Luke finds himself quite attracted to the girl and wanted to ask her to be his friend. He couldn't possibly talk about a beautiful thing with his crude friend, couldn't he?

Leaning his back against the railing, Luke raised his head up to the sky and slowly closed his eyes while enjoying the chill of night.

A moment later, a faint footstep entered Luke's ears. As soon as the pace sounded, an initially idling cloud became slowly moving and covering the moonlight that directed over the terrace. The balcony went dark again, like yesterday's situation. Luke didn't find it suspicious and immediately greeted the woman with a hoarse voice, "Hi,"

The woman seems stunned for a moment before hesitatingly moving forward, "Are you sick?"

"Yeah, something happens." Luke briefly answered.

"You should just rest instead of coming here." Luke heard the woman replied in a tone of scolding and worried.

"It's okay. It will be fine tomorrow." Luke paused before changed the topic, "By the way, did you attend our principal speech today? He said he would let us participate in the battle class for free."

"Yeah," She said uninterestedly before remembering something which makes her gritted her teeth furiously before stomping her feet lightly.

Noticing her action, Luke concernedly asked, "Hey, what happen?"

"Don't mind me. I just remembered something. Someone was harassing me, and not only once, but twice by the same person!" Said the woman in anger.

Luke's breath hitched at the mention of harassed twice by the same person, but he brushes that thought off upon recalling the pretty boy temperament, and the stranger in front of him was different.

'They cannot be the same person,' Luke convinced himself before worriedly asked, "Are you okay then? Should I beat him on your behalf?"

The woman shook her head and replied with a cold tone, "That's not necessary. I could easily crush him as a flip of my hand, but that's definitely not worth it since the punishment I'd get would be severe."

Luke sighed and nodded his head, "That's right. I also got accused wrongly today. I mean, I don't even know who he is, but he kept saying nonsense things. God knows how embarrassed I was that moment."

The woman laughed a little, "Haha; It seems we both got misfortune accident today."
