Surviving As An Extra In Fantasy World Isn't Easy

Chapter 239 239:Council\'s Trial[2]

These words rang like thunder in their ears.

The Trial room suddenly became sombre and the temperature of the room went down by a few margins.

They were already prepared to crush this boy without leaving him a chance to turn things but the guy, as if pulling an uno reverse card, managed to change the turn of events with just words.

The moment Lucas\' words fell, a dead silence lingered for a moment. The Professors who were barking like dogs suddenly forgot to breathe for a moment.

Even Issac had a bewildered expression on his face. He had looked for patents but since there was no declaration, he thought that they didn\'t have any.

But that wasn\'t what he and the others were worried about. It was part of shares.

Only a foolish person would let go of such a chance and Salus shows a good turnover, wouldn\'t they like kicking in the two Duke faces at a time and inviting trouble?

The Professors who were supporting Issac previously now sat with ugly expressions.

Seeing how his words worked, Lucas spoke with a provocative smile.

"Still, I understand that I have broken some rules and need to adhere to them as said by Sir Lokov."

Lokov who heard this cursed inwardly.

\'Fuck, why are taking my name. Others said this. If words reached the Duke\'s ears that I forced their pawns to the corner, they would push me out of the world.\'

Glancing at the barking dog who kept his snout close, Lucas continued.

"Respected Professors who took out the precious time to oversee the case, all I want is a month. Please give me a month to resolve this crisis."

Lucas spoke humbly and bowed his hands. One month was enough for him to dig holes for them.

"No, we can\'t."

"We need to decide now."

Many shouted in fear that the Dukes might act in the month\'s time.

"We need to discuss this." Donald spoke and a loud murmur rang again.

Issac observed everything with a cold expression.

\'So what if you have expert Dukes? It seems you are forgetting who I am. Let\'s see what you will do when I push you to the corner.\'

Issac\'s eyes shone with a cold gleam as he already decided his next step.

Cough….Cough….

Donald coughed after a series of discussions and looked around.

"One month is too long. After discussing things, we concluded that Student Lucas would be given 15 days to resolve this matter. If not, another trial will be held to decide the next step."

"Adjourn!"

Following Donald\'s words, everyone stood and walked out while keeping an eye on Lucas.

Some looked at him angrily, while others looked at him in shock and disbelief.

Issac passed by him haughtily and murmured softly.

\'\'This is just the beginning, Lucas. From now on, my eyes will be on you.\'\'

Lucas just stared at Isaac without speaking anything. It is better to show his actions rather than wasting his brain cells to argue.

Donald stared at Lucas who gave a brief nod as if expressing his thanks for supporting him.

Though it was completely useless, Lucas was sincerely grateful for Donald\'s support. Having at least someone who was supporting him amidst all this, not only warmed his heart but it also gave him courage.

Moreover, Isaac\'s dogs were not willing to give him so much time but Donald\'s persuasion at least gave him some more time.

Donald walked out taking long strides after patting Lucas.

As everyone left except for Lucas and Linda, she came forward and bowed her head to apologize with a teary expression.

"I am sorry. It\'s all my fault. I was too overconfident and conceited. I should have looked over things carefully."

Seeing her like this, Lucas felt uncomfortable and distressed.

"It\'s not your fault. Those who want to pick faults will do so somehow. And you don\'t need to worry about this. Just leave the aftermath to me." Lucas assured Linda trying to calm her down.

"I already discussed this with the company to make a lab outside. It\'s already in work. For now, we have enough potions. You should start to expand and have a team. You will soon have your own facility to work on."

Linda stood frozen on the ground for a few seconds when she heard this.

"A lab facility…Of my own.." Linda stuttered for a moment as her mind tried to process things.

"Really?!" She asked curiously.

"Yes, or do you think I am lying to you?" Lucas chuckled.

"No, it\'s just that I didn\'t expect you to treasure me so much." Linda spoke with a blush but Lucas\'s next words made her choke.

"I treasure your skills." Lucas answered bluntly with a stoic expression making Linda\'s lips twitch.

"I also meant that. Lucas, thank you. I will work hard to repay your grace. And for my mistake, you don\'t need to give me profit any more. Until I work in the lab of Salus, there is no need to pay me."

"How can this be.."

A series of nonsense began and Lucas finally managed to make Linda yield who decided to get the money reluctantly.

After this, Lucas went to his dorm. The trial lasted for half an hour but it was enough to blow his mind and make him tired.

Lucas, who was walking with dead eyes, suddenly saw a familiar figure leaning against the wall near his room.

"Sir Harris, why are you here?" Lucas asked in surprise as he searched for him yesterday but wasn\'t able to find him.

"I had gone out for some work but it seems things are not well on your side. I also heard about Roan." Harris spoke coldly.

For him, Roan is almost like a student and someone of the upper class bullying him in his absence didn\'t bode well with him.

"Do you need help with the matter on your hand?"

"How will you help?" Lucas asked curiously but closed his lips seeing Harris\' cutting throat sign.

"You don\'t need to do that now. I have my ways and we can do that after we expose their wrongdoings."

"Hmm! So, what are you going to do now?" Harris asked.

"Rest a bit and then train!"

"I have a better plan."

"What is that?\'\' Lucas asked flinching back as his heart beat with a bad premonition.

Instead of answering him Harris appeared behind Lucas and pulled him holding his neck.

"Come with me. I will give you my training."

Lucas shivered in fear as Harris\'s training meant 7 days and 7 nights of outings and beating in a vast wilderness without food or water.

"Sir Harris, can we do that later? I need a vacation." Lucas cried out. He didn\'t have a problem with the training itself but now he had other things to do and this guy\'s training doesn\'t have fixed timing and goes on until he is satisfied.

"What vacation? Are you a small kid? Come with me. We are gonna have the fun that one can have on vacation." Harris answered with a smirk as he dragged Lucas through the hallway who just cried inwardly and burnt incense for his well-being.
