Chapter 59

"You're back," Lloyd said when he saw Luke the next day.

"Yes, I am back," Luke replies. "You've made your weapon?" he asked.

"I bought it, half the class did," Lloyd replied.

"Oh," Luke said. "Good for them."

"So you've already made your weapon," Lloyd said slowly.

"Yes," Luke replied. "I plan on testing it later in the evening."

"What if it doesn't work?" Lloyd asked.

Luke turned to him slowly. "I'm not attending the battle royale then... I always have a perfect excuse," he said. "But it will surely work."

In the evening when Luke was about to summon Tim. Lloyd came in with Collin, Richard, Milly, and Victoria.

"What are you guys doing here?" Luke said pinching the bridge of his eyebrow.

"I invited them to watch," Lloyd said smiling innocently. Luke could swear that anytime this boy smiles innocently, be sees a fluffy tail wagging as if begging for some praise.
