It was a moment of mourning until someone spoke.
"Excuse me, master." A voice spoke aloud from the back and they all turned back in silence. It was the same girl that always had something to say.
"I think… he just heaved a breath." The girl said with fear and Lucas frowned. They quickly moved closer to confirm what the girl was saying. A guard knelt down and placed his ear close to Roshan mouth and nose. A slowly puffed air fanned his skin just right after he did that.
"He is not dead, he is alive. Someone, get water!!!" The guard yelled and someone quickly got a tank of water.
Small amount was splashed on his face, and he jolted awake. With a blast of air and energy, his upper body rose up, making the people around him fly back in the air.
He growled slowly, electrifying the air. He growled again, louder and fiercely as if he was uncomfortable and in pain. His eyes snapped open, revealing piercing orbs of red that no one noticed.
Then he fell on his back again, panting heavily on the floor and slowly becoming conscious of his surroundings.
Dust particles settled, the people on the floor stood up with confused looks on their faces.
"Roshan?" One of them called and approached him slowly.
"Roshan?" Three people called him again and he turned his head slowly in their direction.
"Let's help him get up, he seems weak." Two among them moved close to him, carried him up, and then out of the place.
As Roshan stepped outside, he stopped in his steps and looked at Master Lucas. Earlier, when he was subconscious, he heard Lucas laughed and mentioned something like the word dead.
Could it be that Lucas wants him dead? Or he misheard.
He exhaled lazily and continued walking with the help of his fellow trainees.
Lucas eyes blazed with fury as he watched Roshan retreating back. It was as if he should go and strangle him to death.
How is this possible? I am sure his book has wrong guidelines. He should he dead by now! Lucas yelled with frustration as his hands balled into a fist.
Now, that is a minor problem. The prime minister would think Roshan is dead by now, because he had already sent someone to tell him about Roshan situation earlier. How to tell him now that Roshan is still alive is the main problem.
He would have lied he didn't send anybody to him but no one else knows about their plan to eliminate Roshan.
Lucas sighed. Although, there is still a chance to kill Roshan. As long as he is in Onju Martial Academy, he is a dead meat. And as for the prime minister, of course he will be angry but he won't kill him because of this. All he needs now is a better plan to eliminate Roshan once and for all.

Two days passed before things subsided in the academy. Roshan has gotten over what happened to him. It is a new week and of course, they will be learning something new. The first thing that came to his mind was to find the guideline book Lucas gave him so that he can analyze and know where he made a mistake.
After he dressed up, he looked around for the spells and magic guideline book Lucas gave him but it was nowhere to be found. He was sure he didn't take it with him when he was going to the private chamber.
After searching for a few more minutes and he couldn't find it, he went out to go ask his mates if they had saw it and kept it for him.
To his dismay, no one saw it or knew where it was. Afterwards, he collected a guideline book from his colleagues and searched for the spell. As expected, he found it and began to analyze it, just as he started to read it in his mind, confusion crept in.
Something was wrong, the guidelines provided in the book he was holding is different from the one in the book Lucas gave him.
He frowned and read it again in his mind. As he read further, he finally realized that it didn't match. It could be an error, he thought and went ahead to get another guideline book and searched for the spell to balance the energy in the air. Few seconds passed and he realized that what is in the two books he was holding is different from what was written in his book.
His heart raced, fear gripped him together with confusion. He quickly searched for another spell that he knew off hand and read it. The book in his hands dropped on the floor when he realized that they were totally different from what was in his book.
A trainee from behind noticed him and quickly went to check on him.
Are you okay? A voice asked from behind. Roshan turned and it was the guy that helped him with his bamboos the other day.
"They are different! Does he hates me that much? Why will he give me a book with wrong guidelines?" Roshan thought aloud.
"What are you talking about?" Liam, who has been standing beside him asked.
"The guidelines in my book are wrong." Roshan spoke with fear.
"Why are they wrong?" Liam asked.
"I do not know. I just saw it now."
"You should tell master about this."
"What do you mean? He gave me the book personally, he definitely gave me the wrong book intentionally."
Roshan flashed back to how Lucas has been relating with him from the beginning.
The first day he got to the academy, the menacing look that was on his face when he asked him a question, when he ordered guards to beat him up, how he always look for mistakes in his perfection, dote on him, the eerie smile on his face the day he gave him the book and when he heard Lucas laugh when they thought he was dead.
With all these, he was able to come to a conclusion in his mind. Lucas want him dead!
