Chương 16: Traning

"You're sure this is the second time you handled a gun?" the instructor asked, perplexed by his fast improvement. Looking at the suspicious instructor, he smiled as he gave an answer.

"Yes, maybe I'm born for this." He remarked, thinking of his family history. The instructor, seeing his desire not to say more, nodded. Soon, he began instructing him on how to do basic maintenance on the firearms. This was requested by Lucas, as he had plenty of guns in his basement. A couple more hours passed by, as his training progressed smoothly. More than half a day passed. He then finished all his lessons.

After that, he paid for this lesson and a couple more, since he planned to train frequently from now on. He then said goodbye to his instructor and drove home. Half an hour later, he arrived. He then took a shower and headed directly to the basement. Soon, he entered the hideout in the basement. On a workspace table, there were a couple of wolfsbane plants. He looked at them as he thought, 'Even though they are the most common type of wolfsbane, they will work for now.' He soon started getting to work.

Earlier that day, he purchased some equipment for the processing of the wolfsbane. He would make some in the form of powder for the bullets, and part of it would be left as simple powder to directly throw at the enemy's face or poison them. Because he began reading his family books more, he found a lot of these kinds of methods in them. After an hour, he finished. He then began to fill some bullets with wolfsbane, and the rest he filled in little pouches with equal amounts of dose.

He even had an idea of using a smoke grenade filled with wolfsbane powder; that would be a real killer in combat. When he was about to finish, he noticed his phone ringing. Then he saw that it was Allison.

"Hey." He responded normally as he finished his work. From the other side, Allison asked in a concerned voice. Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

"I didn't see you at school today, and the teacher said you called in sick, so I called to see how you're doing." Lucas smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I just had some important business to handle. Tomorrow I will be at school." Allison then replied with hesitation, wanting to talk more but not knowing what to say.

"Okay, then I will see you tomorrow." Before she could close the phone, he then asked her, "If you don't mind, I can drive by and take you to school."

"Really?" she asked as she raised her voice, then realizing she was too excited, she spoke again, "I mean yes, did you buy a car?" He nodded as he spoke, "Yes, I just bought one this morning. Then tomorrow at eight I will pick you up."

"See you tomorrow," Allison responded, and then both closed their phones. Lucas then clapped his hands, scattering the dust, and headed back to his room to rest. Soon the night passed, as the first rays of sunlight hit the window, waking him up. He moved quicker than he used to. Soon, he got ready. He then entered his car and drove away, as the sound caused heads to turn. A couple of minutes later, he arrived at her house. He then got out of the car and knocked on the door.

Then the door opened, and Allison stepped out with a smile on her face.

"Good morning."

"Good morning." Lucas replied with a slight smile. Then the two headed to the car. Arriving in front of it, Allison was slightly stunned.

"When you said you got a car, you weren't kidding…" Seeing her like this, he just smiled and replied, "I needed something fast, reliable, and maybe a bit cool." He then opened the door for her. As she entered, he couldn't help but notice a piercing glare coming from the Argent's window. Not surprised, he saw her dad staring at him like he wanted to shoot him. Unbothered, he gave him a smile and entered the car.

While driving, Allison suddenly asked a question, "Your parents must really trust you, to get you a fast car like this one." Looking at the road, he raised an eyebrow at her question. Not bothered by it, he answered.

"It's just me in my family, so I get to do what I want." She was surprised, then as if she understood, she went silent.

"Sorry…" Seeing her mood lowered and not knowing what to say anymore, he said, "Don't worry about it, I never met them, so it doesn't bother me." He then proceeded to change the subject.

"I saw your dad sizing me up by the window, maybe I should stay away from you." He told her teasingly. Allison smiled at his antics, then replied in an equally teasing tone.

"Maybe he's afraid that you're a bad influence." Lucas started laughing after he heard her saying this, Allison giggled too. As the two were talking and laughing, time passed by, and soon they arrived at school. Lucas parked the car. As he got up, he noticed people looking his way and pointing at the car. Unbothered, he and Allison walked towards the school. As they reached the hallway, he saw Stiles and Scott. He approached them and asked curiously, "Scott, Stiles, what happened? Did they catch the killer?"

Seeing him, both nodded, and Stiles answered,"Yeah, Derek Hale was the one arrested." Lucas nodded thoughtfully. Before he could say anything, he heard Stiles speak again,"But then the lab results came out saying they found animal hair on the body, and this could not be done by humans, so Derek got released." Scott, while remaining silent, was not looking happy at all. Looking at them, he jokingly said, "It's not like he's gonna kill you for getting him arrested."

When the two of them heard that, their expressions were not happy at all.
