As Lucas spoke about the things to his heart's content and about the thoughts that have been buried deep inside his heart, the entire atmosphere turned silent.
Hera frowned hearing Lucas's words. He spoke more than she was expecting and he spoke all this in one breath.
The moment Lucas started speaking, she looked at him straight in his eyes to catch any falsity in his speech. But contrary to her expectations, Lucas spoke resolutely looking straight into her eye with a cold expression, an entirely different look from the one he was giving now.
His eyes seemed to fill with a certain fear of the unknown along with a strong will and determination to crush down every obstacle that will come across his path.
Lucas frowned after spouting everything, he spoke everything, he could to make the Headmaster believe in him but he couldn't understand why she was staring at him.
'Did I fail? I spoke every lie that came into my mind to her, there is some truth in those lies but it doesn't matter.'
Hera closed her eyes for a moment and opened them.
"Cadet Lucas why don't you try tea, it will be left cold in a few minutes."
Lucas was shocked at what Hera said, he was preparing himself for more questions but Hera asked him to drink tea.
'Is there a poison in tea?' Lucas thought to himself.
"There is no poison in them Cadet Lucas" Hera said as she drank her tea, Lucas flinched a a little when Hera said this.
A nervous smile came to his lips as he said
"Of course mam, how could there be poison in tea?" Lucas said nervously while he drank tea.
Lucas gracefully drank the tea. The tea was so nice and favourable that it felt like it was made by the God of tea.
"Lucas, Is the tea to your liking?" Headmaster asked raising her brows.
"Yes it was quite wonderful and flavourful," Lucas was about to take a sip when he heard Hera's voice again.
"Good, after all just 1 pound of the tea powder cost a million C."
Lucas choked while taking a sip and forcefully calmed himself from spewing the tea.
After gulping it, he was stunned with his jaw wide open. A pound of tea powder costs a million C. He was still unable to process the information he got.
If he or anyone had heard about the price in his previous world they would surely have died of a heart attack or may have thought the person was buffing.
Lucas looked at the tea in the cup not knowing whether to drink it further or stop drinking.
"You can drink freely Lucas, I'm not going to charge you anything. "
"Thank you, mam," Lucas said as he gulped all of the tea in one go.
"So can I go now, Mam?" Lucas asked after drinking all of the tea.
"Sure, you can go now." Lucas sighed in relief after hearing Hera's words, he got up from his seat walked towards the door and opened it.
After opening the door he turned his head toward Hedamster.
"Mam, I have one question before I leave."
"Oh, what is it?" Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
Lucas places his both hands together with each other, he also has a smile on his face, like some scammer.
"Oh, it's nothing big, I just wanted to know if will I receive a reward for killing a fallen human?"
Hera blinked at the sudden change of behaviour of Lucas but she nodded at him.
"Oh, yeah you will receive a reward."
"Thank you, that's all I wanted to know. Have good mam "
Saying that Lucas Step Outside of the headmaster's office.
There was silence for a moment as Hera turned her head towards the left to the walls.
"what do you think? Is he telling the truth or not?"
A silhouette of a man appears on the wall. The man did not answer Hera as he walked towards the sofa where Lucas was sitting a few moments ago.
The man took biscuits from the table and ate them.
After eating them he looked at Hera and said
"Nope, he is not telling the truth."
Her eyes narrowed at the words of the man. She didn't believe that she almost fell for the lies of the cadet.
"So is he a Fallen human?" Hera asked as there was a dangerous glint in her eyes.
"Hmm, No, he is not a fallen human either."
"Aggh, I don't like that attitude of yours Yato."
The man was Yato, the one whom many fear the God Of Calamity.
Yato smirked at Hera's Expression and said
"That attitude is one of my speciality, Mam.
"Will you give me a straightforward answer?" Hera asked as she took a deep breath.
"Look, he is not a Fallen human, and he lied to you but there is some truth to what he says. In conclusion, that guy hiding a deep secret that he doesn't want anyone else to know about it. Just let that poor soul have his secret, everyone has one or two." Yato said as he shrugged his shoulders.
"I see," Hera said nothing else other than that.
Yato looks at Hera, who seems to be in deep thought. Seeing her thinking this much he could not but help ask her a question.
"Headmaster, what do you think of this cadet who just came here?"
"For now I can only say despite his background this person will be unfathomable in future unless he messes up something," the Headmaster replied to Yato.
Yato just nodded and asked the main reason he came here.
"So can you please tell me the reason why you called me here from boards?"
Hera has a smirk on her face at the question that Yato asked.
"Oh, sorry I forgot about that, but don't worry you will love your job."
"Ohh! Really, what do I have to do? Should I enter the S-class dungeon and kill all the monsters or do I have to beat some S-class villain?"
Yato asked, there was a hint of excitement in his voice, he was expecting something big but soon all his hope was crushed by the Headmaster's words.
"Nothing much, you have to tail the student that was here a moment ago and have to give me a report once a week."
Yato's eyes widened, he got up from the sofa and shouted.
"NO, I'M NOT DOING SOMETHING . IT GOES AGAINST MY PRIDE.
