MTLNOVEL Chapter 176: Choosing!
"Hope you've had your fun?" he gave him a soft glare.
Lucian pursed his lips as he frowned while he stared intently at the team. "Aren't you guys trusting me too much?" he questioned.
Shrugging his shoulders, "That's just how we are. Moreover, the only thing you can do is run away with the box. You obviously can't beat us all anyway." Fergus said while patting April's head.
Rolling his eyes at the reply he got, Lucian took the golden backpack from his interstellar space.
Stepping back a bit, "Do the honors." He said to Fergus.
Clover instantly heaved a sigh of relief as tense atmosphere seem to have dissipated.
He didn't even wait for anyone, he jumped at the box and open the lid.
"Ohh! There is one equipment, two skill books inside! And something that looks like gold?" Clovers cheerful voice sounded out but at the end, he was somewhat confused.
Bringing out the stuffs from within for the others to see. That equipment was in the shape of a boot. No, it was a boot that seemed big for anyone to wear.
While the two fingernail sized silicone on his hands were the two chips he was talking about.
"Waa, t-this is a Sky walker right?" Clover shouted excitedly.
The expression of the other students lit up, including Lucian's. It should be known that the least expensive Sky Walker was priced at an exorbitant amount. At a ridiculous price of 100,000 relic points for the lowest quality type.
But the one clover was currently holding seem even slightly better that a Rare quality Sky Walker.
The students instantly huddled together to check out the boot, the rest of the supplies was completely forgotten.
Taking hold of the boot from the overexcited Clover, Fergus then rook the boots and gave them to Lucian albeit reluctantly while saying "Hope no one object to this decision."
Although he seemed to ask, his words gave them no room to disagree at all and even the carefree Clover swallowed his complaints down to his stomach.
Lucian eyes glinted sharply, but he didn't refuse the boots. But as he was about to record his imprint inside the Sky walker, he felt a slight pinch in his heart.
Breathing heavily and reluctantly, Lucian rolled his eyes at his self consciousness. It was at this moment he wished it hadn't existed. He was conflicted.
But in the end, he gave in. He picked up the boot and under the stares of the five students, he placed them on Fergus's hands. "Well, you almost died. And as much as I would hate to admit it, April was right, you did it to protect me, so I would obviously be uncomfortable if I took the Boots without doing any thing significant that worth it."
Lucian finished his explanation with a cool expression which made the other students show awe on their faces for him.
But why wouldn't his hands release the boots? His finger hooked in the insides of the shoes, refusing to release them.
After forcing Lucian's hands out, Fergus smiled widely. "I knew I made the right decisions in befriending you."
"Alright, I obviously wouldn't ignore your kind intentions, so I will gladly accept the gadget." Fergus shamelessly stated and didn't even argue with Lucian.
Lucian was a little stunned. He had been expecting a little bit of rejection, but this shameless guy just took it without even being polite.
He should have just kept it for himself. Lucian could only grit his teeth in regret. There was no remedy for it anyway.
Breathing deeply he asked. "What are the skill book for?"
Clover was still a bit downcast since they didn't give him the Sky walker.
"One is a Sound Enhancement skill grants one the ability to hear sound waves a specific distance for a specific period of time, while the other, just grant's one the ability to be hyper sensitive to thermal heats for a period of time, called Thermal Vision." Clover explained, while his excitement returned in his face.
Nodding his head, Fergus appeared deep in thoughts and after a few seconds, he turned towards Lucian. "Why don't you choose the one you would like to take out of the two skill books." Fergus suggested.
And from the silence Clover, April, Olamide, and Dagrin were emitting, it was obvious they clearly agreed with his suggestion this time.
Showing the whiteness of his eyes, Lucian only grunted slightly. He walked towards Clover who still had the two skill book with him.
After a few seconds of staring at the two chips, Lucian frowned slightly as he couldn't decide on which skill book he should choose.
As he was about to grab the sound enhancing skill book, the corners of his eyes caught onto something and his hands paused.
It was a bar, the size of his two palms together, but what made it familiar was the gold colour it was with.
Lucian was a bit stunned and he unconsciously muttered "This gold again?"
What was with the gold he had been seeing all over the place? This was pretty much the third time and honestly, it was getting pretty tiring to him.
But Lucian wasn't stupid. He had seen the gold metal in different shapes and sizes which is extremely precise as though they had been made that way to be a specific spare part in something like a mechanical piece of equipment.
Determination shine in his eyes a d he decisively took hold of the Gold Bar. Since he had other parts already, he decided to see just how everything will end.
Fergus frowned slightly as he said "There is no need to sympatize with us, although there would be only one skill book left if you took one, we have already benefitted from this hurl with only the Sky walker. So feel free to choose a skill book."
It seems Fergus thought Lucian was choosing the useless block of gold for their sake.. But he couldn't be any more wrong.
