Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Damian and Lucas fight, with Stella as the referee.

As soon as the news broke, even Lucas's guide came to watch the excitement.

Although he felt a little sorry for Lucas falling on the stage time and time again, he held back his urge to ask what was going on when he saw Stella and Damian's serious faces.

After all, everyone has witnessed the three of them getting along over the past few hundred years. At this moment, the elders watching were all wondering what Lucas had done to provoke his two friends to gang up on him.

Lucas stepped off the ring dejectedly, and upon hearing their speculations, he immediately exploded.

"What can I do? I haven't done anything yet!"

Robert sensed something was wrong and raised an eyebrow, saying, "You haven't done anything yet? So you do have a plan, right?"

Lucas didn't dare to answer Robert immediately, so Stella stepped forward to speak.

"There's no plan. Lucas just wants to test his skills against Damian. We've already been to several projects before this!"

Damian put his arm around Lucas's shoulder and said, "That's right, Lucas feels he's lacking in many areas and plans to practice more in the future."

With his friends speaking up for him, Lucaston felt much better and reluctantly admitted it, eventually going with his friends.

Seeing this, the elders guessed that they must have a little secret, but they didn't expose them directly and considerately gave them enough space.

When they arrived at Damian's workshop, Lucas pouted, looking like he was about to cry: "Neither of you listened to me properly and just started attacking me."

Stella and Damian stood by, quietly watching Lucas perform.

Lucas, a master screenwriter with centuries of experience, delivered a torrent of criticisms relentlessly as he berated the two of them.

Stella listened for a while at first, but then she got tired of it, so she yawned and asked Damian in a low voice, "Do you have any more tea? I think I need to perk myself up."

“We just ran out,” Damian said with some regret. “I think I need a cup too.”

Lucas noticed their distraction: "Stella! Damian! Are you even listening to me?!"

Stella rubbed her ears: "I know you have a loud voice, and I know you're not in pain, so Lucas, can you tone down your acting?"

“What do you mean it doesn’t hurt?” Lucas retorted stubbornly. “My head hurts, and my whole body hurts, okay?”

“If you’re talking about a headache, it means Stella didn’t even manage to punch you in the face. And if you’re talking about body aches, it means I used a clever technique instead of punching you in the face,” Damian looked up at him, his attitude sincere.

"Stella and I can turn what you say into reality."

“No, there’s no need for that,” Lucas finally said, quieting down.

Damian was very careful with his actions. Stella was so small, how long could her wand possibly be? Hitting her on the head would be less painful than getting a flick on the forehead.

In fact, Lucas's real vulnerability lay in the fact that he had been defeated by Damian so many times in front of so many of his own kind, and had never won a single time.

Although Lucas could tell from their attitude that he was making a big mistake in being swayed by what Andrei said, even while being suppressed and beaten, he knew it was a mistake.

“I’m sorry, Stella, Damian,” Lucas apologized. “I shouldn’t have been tempted by what Andre said and wanted to sneak off to the mainland.”

"But believe me, I really didn't intend to use my friends like Andrei did."

“I believe you,” Stella said, “but Lucas, have you forgotten that you and Andre are fundamentally different?”

"Huh?" Lucas scratched his head.

Damian sighed and reminded him, "After you come of age, whether you like it or not, you will have to travel around the continent."

“Prince Andrei is still young, but you are already a sub-adult.”

"You could have easily gone out through normal channels, so why were you swayed by what Prince Andrei said?"

“You’ve all left the Elf Forest, but my application to travel has been repeatedly rejected by the elders,” Lucas said. “There are precedents of sub-adults traveling before, so why can’t I?”

As he spoke, Lucas muttered under his breath, "Damian has already been assigned a job, and you're a sub-adult too!"

Stella and Damian exchanged a glance.

“Lucas, there’s a reason why Damian went to the Dark Forest for instruction ahead of schedule. The reason the elders refused your request to travel to the continent during your sub-adult years is because it’s not very safe outside right now.”

"What's going on?" Lucas asked anxiously. "I thought it was because Damian was exceptionally talented that the king granted him permission to go to the Dark Forest, wasn't that right?"

"So you all knew about this, but you only kept it from me?"

“I was there firsthand,” Damian said. “And Stella was by the King’s side; shouldn’t she know more?”

“You know that’s not what I’m talking about,” Lucas retorted. “I’m talking about something you’ve kept from me the only one.”

“Lucas,” Stella called to him, “you should know that there are many things that cannot be told to others unless you discover them yourself.”

"It just so happens that you were focused on creating art when this happened, didn't you?"

Lucas's spirits were like a ball with a hole punctured, unable to rise again, and he even felt a little guilty and remorseful.

"I'm sorry, Damian, I haven't cared for you enough."

“It’s okay,” Damian said. “You’re doing it for something you love.”

“But…” Lucas’s hair seemed to droop down, and he had lost his usual energy. “As a friend, not only did I not notice that you were in danger, but I’m also making a fuss here.”

“No, no, no,” Damian explained, “Adolf and the others protected me very well, and Wang and Robert discovered the danger in time and brought me back ahead of schedule.”

"The Dark Forest is now back to normal, but they don't need me for the time being, so I can stay in the Elf Forest."

Lucas was even more dejected. Damian's words meant that if Wang and Robert hadn't been so vigilant, Damian might have already been in danger, and he would have been completely unaware of it.

Under these circumstances, Stella made no mention of her visit to Eugene's house, nor did she say what help she had given Robert that night.

To cheer Lucas up, Stella said, "Lucas, you and Andre are getting along well now, aren't you?"

"I have something very important to ask you."
