Legendary Shelter Survival Guide

Chapter 291 The start of something great

"How does someone even act like your disciple, master?" Lucas only chuckled at his master not understanding what he was entailing.

"Hmph, cheeky brat. look around the room and tell me, what do you see?"

Lucas did not even need to look around yet he did anyway, his eyes met a lot of people of his age.

They tried keeping eye contact but averted their gaze real quick when Lucas got a little serious.

"I smell- no... I sense fear."

"Yeah, they are all scared and shitting their pants, and look at you! Such bold and arrogant eyes, befitting my disciple! Hahahahaha"

Lucas could not tell if his master praised or made fun of him.

Yet one thing was clear, Master was drunk. Lucas could not tell just how many drinks he had, but it must have been a lot by how he acted.

"While I am infuriated by what you said here Sam, but it seems to be true. That damn disciple of mine, cowering with the other rabbits. Kalo! Come here!" The one with the long beard that had talked with Lucas before he shouted toward the side.

Lucas looked toward a young man his age looking toward his master's table with upright shoulders.

He had blond hair with flawless skin, the clothes he was wearing were a little similar to Lucas's yet they had green embroidery instead of golden ones.

"Yes!" The young man named Kalo said after coming to the table, it was as if the world was ending in his eyes, with how scared he was. Only Lucas had the perception of how scared he was.

The old man who was also a master crafts person got up and came toward his disciple, fury evident in his eyes.

"Don't you go with those bastards anymore, you got it? Come, I will introduce you to someone."

All the anger that Lucas saw and felt from the old man vanished when the old man saw just how nerve-wracked his disciple was.

"He is Lucas, Sam's disciple. Introduce yourself and stay with him till the tournament starts." The old man commented and went to get seated again.

Both Lucas and Kalo left the room together and went toward the main tournament area.

"Just where did you find this brat, Sam?" The one with the long beard asked Sam with wariness.

"It was fate, Elias... fate."

"Hmph, I would have never taken a commoner under me. You will soon regret it." The old man on the left said and closed his eyes. All of them were drunk and the bickering from there didn't seem to stop anytime soon.

Since Lucas and Kalo left, they didn't talk much. Lucas didn't see the need for it and Kalo seemed to be too proud.

With the directions and the help of the workers, they finally reached the locations.

"How did you get your hands on this clothing?" Kalo asked from the side while he tried to touch Lucas's cloak Yet Lucas just grabbed his hand and shook it with a smile.

"My master got it for me."

"I figured" He looked offended by Lucas's insolence.

Lucas did not know what he could do to the guy, he wasn't feeling much anger for some reason.

It might have been due to the hunting he was going every few days or just that Kalo was like a fly humming at the side of his ear pestering without stopping.

The area they were in was really like a fighting ring, it was spacious and Lucas liked it yet the big circular ring had many alchemical desks with ingredients kept in a preserving cube.

Lucas looked at the ingredients and almost burst out in ridicule, just what level of alchemy were they asking him to perform?

"By the way, Kalo. Do you know how to extract essence from these ingredients?"

"Huh? God no, that is advanced alchemy, this tournament only wants the beginner alchemists to compete with each other," Kalo said and waited for Lucas to speak yet when he didn't, he looked toward him and froze.

Lucas had a playful grin on his face and for some reason, it looked very dangerous.
