[Battle Junkie] Allows the user to enter fight mode, it is similar to a skill called [Rage] but [Battle Junkie] would leave a sliver of the user's consciousness and not make the user become a killing machine.
Looking into the wall in front of him, the memories began to come back to him one by one, although the memories are only bits and pieces, he couldn't help but shudder.
The way Mike ran to him like a rabid animal made him sweat so much that his T-shirt is soaking wet.
*Knock* *Knock*
Lucas immediately wiped off all the sweat on his face and tried to regain his composure, so that his family wouldn't know of his true persona that is a wimpy kid. "Come in."
Kate stuck out her head inside the room to see what Lucas is doing, but after seeing that all is normal, she walked inside, 'There's no way Lucas is what Levi and Ashton say he is.'
Going inside the room, she saw Lucas laying on the bed, his blanket is wet, she immediately ran beside him to check up on him, "Are you sick?"
Lucas tried not to faint, seeing Ashton's back on the door frame is the only thing he wished not to see, he coughed to try and make the situation not awkward, with his manly voice, he said, "I'm okay, nothing I couldn't handle."
He tried not to sweat to save face in front of his sister, but he couldn't stop, "W-why are you sweating so much? Let me call dad to get you to the hospital." when she was about to stand up, Lucas immediately said, "W-wait, no! There's no need."
Sweat began forming at his back, he felt a glare that only demons could do, he looked at the door frame again and saw Ashton glaring at him like he was about to kill him, he awkwardly laughed.
Ashton already knows of his persona while talking to Levi about it, he couldn't help but doubt his words, though. This kid who could stare at someone like that someone is like an insignificant being could not possibly be a wimp as Levi said he is, but considering he overpowered him, it was okay to do this to him.
"I'm really okay, there's nothing to worry about," Lucas said, his cold and aloof side came back to him in an instant.
Kate stared at him with doubt in her eyes, but it quickly left as fast as it came, with her eyes gleaming and her smile that could pierce the heavens, she asked, "Do you perhaps know of a person named Levi?"
Even though she overheard Ashton and Levi talk about someone named 'Lucas', she still couldn't help but doubt their words. Her brother who could pummel everyone in his way is by no means a coward.
Lucas' face turned grim, 'J-just how did she know about Levi?'
Although it was no secret that Lucas has a master behind him, nobody knows of his master's name.
Remembering all the torture Levi put him up in, he couldn't help but shudder. Every time Levi trains him, there would always be an absurd training method that he has to do.
Even though Levi rarely trains him now, just the thought of doing all those training makes him want to commit suicide instead, 'Who could put up with that monster's training regime!?'
The training Levi gave him is simple: 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 side-to-side jumps, 100 squats, and 100km run. The most terrifying things about his training aren't those five, but his time limit and breaks.
There are no breaks and his time limit is only one day, whenever he comes home, his body would always ache and he could only lay in bed for the rest of the day.
The thing about this method is, Levi doesn't even know if it would work or not, so basically, Lucas is a lab rat for Levi to test his hypothesis on. Of course, Levi would also do the training alongside with Lucas so that Lucas won't lose motivation, but he would always finish the fastest, so Lucas would suffer by himself.
Kate waved her hand in front of the dazed Lucas, "Are you still there? So, do you know him?"
"H-huh?" re-experiencing that traumatizing training in his mind, the only thing he thought of was hanging himself so that he wouldn't have to experience it again. Lucas' regret in life isn't being Levi's disciple, it's that he didn't find anyone more 'gentle'. "Y-yeah, I know him..."
"Is he a man late in his thirties, slightly handsome, tall, and has a good figure?"
His eyes widened, not in disbelief, but because the other party guessed it all right, 'I-it must be a coincidence!'
"I forgot to ask, do you know what battle maniac is?" she leaned in closer to Lucas' ears and whispered, "I overheard Ashton said that Levi is a battle maniac."
'This isn't a coincidence anymore!' If there was a hole in his room, he wouldn't hesitate to jump in it just to hide. If she really overheard Ashton said that, wouldn't that mean Ashton is acquainted with Levi?
The title battle maniac could be used by many, but to say that to the battle maniac himself, how close would you guys need to be? If that were the case, wouldn't that mean he fought with his master's acquaintance?
Levi told him about this title, but rarely anybody that Levi is friends with know it. He clearly and vividly remembers Levi's warning, 'Don't ever mess with the people who know this title of mine.'
That's the reason he doesn't flaunt his strength to other people, there is a possibility that the other party would know of Levi, so he doesn't risk it.
He may be a coward, but he isn't an idiot!
"D-do you know of him...?" Lucas asked while stuttering. If his sister knows of Levi, wouldn't that mean his fake persona of being a powerful brother would be revealed? 'There's no doubt that that m-monster would reveal it to her!' his heart beat faster as he thought of the outcome.
"Yeah, he would sometimes borrow money from me for his sister so I think we're quite close." Kate said.
Lucas' eyes were now about to pop out of his eye sockets, his master that doesn't even talk to him, his direct disciple, would dare to borrow money, and from his sister!
"He even borrowed money from Noah and Abbie, what's wrong with that?"
Lucas is about to faint from all the things his sister is talking about behind his master. He firmly believed that his master wouldn't go as low as borrowing money from other people.
He looked at Kate in the eyes, beads of sweat poured down his face, "W-where is this 'Levi' that you are talking about?"
"He's at the restaurant everyday, want to come with me later?" Kate asked, she couldn't just keep it to herself that she knows of a godly restaurant. She always wanted to tell it to her brother but Lucas is always busy 'training' by himself.
Ashton looked behind him to see what Lucas' reaction would be like, what he saw was unexpected, he expected Lucas to nonchalantly agree to Kate's request, but instead; Lucas is sweating so much that his bed is soaked with his sweat.
"Let's go when you-" Kate's eyes widened.
"Lucas!" she shouted.
Lucas fainted.
