Chapter 154: Forced To Bow His Head (1/2)
”Y-Yes.”
Logan nodded his head bitterly. He gripped his fist tightly and looked in Lawrend's direction. He then shook his head and sighed.
…
The next day, Lawrend woke up dry. As for Logan and Nuon, they were both sneezing. It was not that warm under the wyvern with the rain cooling them from every direction. Not to mention, their bodies were also wet.
”I'm surprised that the three of you didn't demand any food.”
The instructor said to them.
”I can fast for 2 days.”
Lawrend replied. Each time he got stronger, his reliance on food decreases.
”I can fast for a day.”
Nuon replied.
As for Logan, he raised one finger. Meaning, he also can fast for a day.
”Hmmm… Okay. Before we go, I want all of you to hunt for food. There will be a lot of small animals exiting from hiding as the rain had just stopped earlier.”
The instructor said to them.
”Yes, sir!”
The three of them nodded their heads respectfully.
Lawrend ran to the forest. Even though he said that he can fast for two days, he was still feeling quite hungry. He rushed to be the first one to find prey to cook.
Fast forward later, Lawrend was holding a rabbit by its ears. It was already dead; cooked alive by his lightning magic.
He walked to his campfire and removed the leaf cover he used. He made sure to create a trench around it earlier to keep the water from entering inside.
...
”Smells good, huh?”
The instructor walked towards Lawrend. The rabbit he had caught was already being roasted. It was skewered using a large stick.
”Yes. Unfortunately, I don't have anything to season it with.”
Lawrend replied to the instructor with a sigh.
”You're doing good. I just want to remind you that this is a team special mission. At this rate, your two other teammates will fail.”
The instructor reminded Lawrend with a faint smile on his lips.
Lawrend sucked in a breath of cold air when he heard his words. He was basically saying that he had to carry the two of them. That is the most unpleasant feeling ever.
”Good luck.”
The instructor said to him before he left.
”...”
Lawrend stared at the instructor's back drearily. It seems like it really would be as he had imagined.
…
”Alright. The two of you. Starting from now on, I'm in charge.”
Lawrend blocked in front of Logan and Nuon who were walking like zombies. They had lost so much energy just trying to catch two rabbits. Their elements were just not suited for combat.
”...”
Logan was bitter when he heard Lawrend's words. If he listens to him now, it would be akin to him admitting defeat and saying that he was inferior to Lawrend.
Nuon silently walked and stood behind Lawrend. He doesn't need to choose. He already knows who he had to listen to long ago. He was just waiting for this chance.
Logan shook his head and ignored Lawrend. His pride as a man wouldn't allow him to admit defeat.
”...”
Lawrend and Nuon watched him leave silently. Logan is into a lot of suffering because of his stubbornness.
”What's your element?”
