Lucas took the seat by the window from which he could peek outside and enjoy the view.
The academy was mostly covered by outdoor gardens, trees and ponds.
It's more like a restaurant or relaxation spot but only students knew, they didn't even have the opportunity or time to even enjoy the view.
It is the world of the survival of fittest. Here the rule of jungle exists.
The more intelligent and powerful you are the more respect you get.
So, most of the students in the academy are busy with many activities from dawn to midnight and to prove themselves.
From learning music to finance, medicine to outer space, tea party to mechanics, students are given many opportunities.
Students could open or start new clubs as they like but they must produce results.
As much as they were given opportunities the outcome are also strictly managed.
The academy would give you socializing opportunities by conducting a banquet at the end of the month but the invitation is only given to those with the highest credits.
Only the top 50 get these chances.
From elite class to Bronze class students all get the opportunities.
The class are divided into seven categories.
The top of the pyramid, the Elite class, Ace class, Diamond class, Platinium class, Gold class, Silver class, Bronze class.
All the students get the prospects, but the higher you are in the pyramid, the higher your prospects to achieve things get.
The student's get to transfer to another class once every semester. If you manage to get your grade higher than the student of another class then you will get transferred to another class and the same goes for those whose grades dropped.
It is not only related to your own grade but with other's too so many students give their best to boost their grade or try their best to not drop it at least.
That's why near the exam season, student's are either found in libraries, dorms or cafes of the school.
From the moment you decide to study at this academy, your life will be changed, you would be taught the rule of society, you are prepared as the conqueror in any field you decide to choose.
Most of the topmost people in the world are graduated from this Academy so this Academy was called PEERLESS Academy.
The Academy has produced many giants in many fields not only limited to scientists, business tycoons, film stars, directors.
While Lucas was focused on thinking how amazing this academy's history and achievements were, someone sat beside him.
The class has three rows consisting of two desks and 5 columns totally of 30 students.
Each person has a deskmate at their side.
Seeing Lucas didn't even seems to notice his presence the teenage boy tap Lucas's shoulder very lightly as if he would hurt him.
When Lucas turned to see the person who had the audacity to disturb him, his breath was stopped, he was having difficulty breathing as if something was stuck in his lungs.
Lucas quickly composed himself then scrutinize his gaze at the young man in front of him.
Those grey-blue eyes that could charm anyone if wanted the sunkissed skin and that wild but restrained temper of the youth which could make anybody crazy.
And finally, those lips that were upturned in a smirk as he looked at Lucas.
How could Lucas not recognize this smiling bastard?
" Yes?" Lucas distantly asked as if he wasn't the one who was examining him just now.
Adrian didn't mind Lucas manner, he just smile gently, " May I know the name of my deskmate."
Lucas cursed internally at the youth's polite behaviour.
" Owen, Owen Smith," Lucas smugly answered.
'Humph!, I would never let you enter my life ever again, not letting you know my name was the smallest punishment you get,' Lucas thought.
The youth softly chuckled at "Owen's" attitude.
" Oh! Owen," the youth softly murmur but loud enough to be heard by Lucas.
Lucas's heart thumped! He suddenly had a bad premonition.
And sure enough, it happened.
" When did my brother Lucas learn to lie, I have been away from you for short 10 years and you learn to lie to me hmm," the youth lean towards Lucas while softly whispering in his ear.
Lucas ears instantly turned red tempting the youth to bite it.
" Oh, I have recently learned to lie from someone, who couldn't keep his promise," Lucas sarcastically told while glaring at the youth which smiles seems to drop as he heard Lucas accusation.
" Sorry," the youth sadly whispers.
" Oh! I don't need your sorry, I know if you are in the same situation again, you would again lie to me, so don't apologise if you didn't mean it, Adrian," Lucas coldly stated.
He was angry and frustrated but his tone was flat as if it didn't bother him at all.
" Don't worry this debt of yours will return to you with interest, Me, Lucas Evans will never ask for your help and won't ever inform you whenever I get sick or injured in this lifetime, and unlike you, I never break my promise," Lucas coldly vowed.
Adrian instantly paled, he knew he screwed it up.
But Adrian was sure if he was in the same situation as last year when he was returning home, he wouldn't inform Lucas again.
But he would have made sure to communicate with him later on.
Now, he knew Lucas was adamant about not mending their relationship and was truly angry.
Adrian was truly scared with this vow of Lucas.
Adrian instantly caught Lucas's shoulders, " Don't do this to me, brother Lucas you know, you are the only person who I truly care about." Adrian begged.
Since other students are busy socializing with their own deskmates, nobody knew what's going between them.
Taking this as an opportunity, Adrian begged with pure humbleness.
Lucas coldly looked at Adrian, there wasn't any emotion in Lucas's eyes.
Lucas pry opens his shoulder from Adrian strong grip, " You should have thought about it when you dared to lie to me, now I am doing the same as you have done to me, you are begging me, you deserved it."
Adrian couldn't utter a single word.
He takes it back. Now he truly regrets the decision he had taken back then.
He had thought, he would apologise and his brother Lucas would scold him a bit then will forgive him later with his little coax but he was truly wrong about his prediction.
He forget that Lucas could be stubborn as a mule whenever it comes to his safety.
Now that he was given the same punishment as he have given to his brother Lucas, it really hurts.
It hurts even before he got any injury with only thought but his brother Lucas knew everything, his pain and struggle and he(Ad) dared to lie to him so it was expected he would get punished.
But this painful and heartbreaking one is really cruel.
However, he deserved it for lying and hiding the truth.
