The Extra is a Hero?

The New Morning.

The light of the sun was piercing the dorm blinds in narrow gold rays, cutting the room with the lines of a cage.

I was sleeping as the sunlight fall on my face, I look at clock beside me so see the time.

[ 8:12 Am]

As I look it was only [ 8:12 Am] and I want sleep again but I hurriedly get up because today there was be an announcement by the principal.

Yesterday late night a notification was sent to every frist year students to assambly at the courtyard at sharp [9:15 Am].

Then I ran to the bathroom to take bath as I was being late.

----------

I reached the campus at (8:05 Am)and many first years students are gathering at courtyard in proper line with discipline.

Tang~

Tang~

Then the bells rang through the campus as deep, resounding .

When I came to the main court they felt like buzzing. Out of every hall and classroom of first year assamble through the courtyard.

And above the clock tower a giant holographic board screen appears - the Academy formal broadcasting system.

The blue light was streaming across the marble courtyard, and it make wounder how Futuristic this world is from his previous world.

The I saw Leon was standing beside Aiden .The Leon spot me .

" Michael here , Come fast " he said, as he wavering towars my direction.

Aiden. Who was eating a bun turned to me and tell

" If the Academy going to announce something like rising the prices of food at cafeteria then I am going to protest."

"Relax,"

I said to him, and crossed my arms.

"The Academy does not make an all-campus announcement on something insignificant matter "

"You sure?" Aiden narrowed his eyes on the screen that was glowing.

"I have not forgiven them about the strawberry cake incident.

Leon rolled his eyes." You almost caused a commotion at the cafeteria because you had not received strawberry cake. "

Michael was not surprised on what going on because In the game it was mentioned that Aiden weakness is strawberry Cake , yeah know it is something unbelievable but what I can do it was written on the character profile in the game.

Aiden

"Exactly! They gave me Emotional trauma. I need to be compensated because I did not get to have it.

Leon also add, " yeah..who have thought that you like strawberry cake so much that it was out of stock".

As we are in this conversation then the screen dim up.

The hologram twinkled and the courtyard was quieted down before I was able to reply.

Principal Herald Crimson appear on the screen.

Many of the students stare at him because last time they saw him was at TV.

The main thing was that the principal was timeless. his hair was white, though not feeble; his back as straight as a sword. It was something that people could feel everywhere, and no one was shouting.

His voice could be heard passing like distant thunder, " Good morning my dear Students of Arcade Hunter Academy,"

He started to speak "It is near the end of the first semester. "

Another wave of voicing was quickly smothered with his next word.

"You have confronted demons, politics, as well as your constraints. You have grown."

As I was listening but my eyes were observing the students.

I just spotted Maria in one of the corners. She was standing upright with her hands clasped behind her, and an expressionless face. One of her silver strands of hair was floating in the morning ,

' it really look beautiful...seem like I am falling in love with the Villainess.'

"However, it was the time for my dear students to progress to the next step "

His voice gave me a stretched-to-the-last-string tone. Here it came.

"It is Time to have your Midterm Examinations. "

The term dropped like a bomb in the minds of the students. None of students breathed and half of students stand there like they received some kind of shock.

Silent was only for few moments then the courtyard erupted.

"Midterms?! Already?--Well, we just finished exams, right?--Written midterms or practical midterms?--"

Someone even fainted. I wished I was joking but really some students fainted there.

Herald raised a hand. Instantly, silence returned. That type of silence, such as authority alone can impose.

He said, "This time there will not be easy written tests but we will be measuring your strength, not only writing or using strategies but rather your own ture strength."

His holographic screen behind him moved out of shape the holograph changed to a picture of a huge arena. The sides were flashing with runes and they were letters of vibrant gold.

Test 1: The Trial of Subjugation.

Herald spoke very steadily and unyieldingly.

"In the first Test you will be going into a one-on-one virtual arena, and you will have one opponent, which is a monster of your current rank. You have to be subdued or to endure. A score will be given to your performance based on how fast and how efficiently you will do it, as well as the amount of damage that monster will be taken by your attack and time."

Some of the students were relieved, others flushed. To the majority of first-years, subjugation was an empty high-brow term meaning don't die too fast.

"That is great", I grumbled to myself. "So virtual exam it will help to use my game strategy of PVP arrena here !"

Leon grinned. "Better than dieing in real monster hands.."

"That's debatable."

Herald lifted his handagain'the screen change and again New text appear on the screen.

Test Two: The Labyrinth of Echoes.

Principal Herald continue to explain the content of Test Two.

"The challenge that you face is to get through a realistic virtual dungeon-- it evolves and contains traps, puzzles, and monsters."

Principal paused so we could digest the information and few seconds he continued.

"Power alone is not enough to win, one has to be smart and work as a team. Only when you all co-operate can you get to the center."

" Team will be based on a party structure of five teammates"

The courtyard was trembling with groans of students because Team selection came with politics.

Rich and noble children formed exclusive team; Commoner students struggled to get crumbs. It most resembled a meeting in battle prior to the test taking place.

I took a slow breath. "Great now more politics we under wraps of teamwork."

"Look at me, that is the way," said Leon to me. "At least am assured who will do the planning of the team of your team."

"Lucky me," I said dryly. "I get to babysit you all again."

"Hey! I'm improving."

"That is what you told me just before Alastor forced you to eat the dirt in the training ground "

As I mentioned this , Leon was embarrassed.

'It was a funny moments happened one weak ago in the training ground where Leon confidently challanges instructor Alastor to a friendly spar.

I know why he pull that carzy stunt it must be another quest giving by his system.

I must be thankful that my system is not crazy enough to give me quest to challenge Alastor and if that happens I will get baaten to half death by him.'

And what happened next is Leon get beaten to shit by Alastor in the name of training '

But one thing good happen to Leon is that nobody underestimate his as illegitimate child"

Back to our conversation, as I remember his black history but Leon reply like it was his planned things.

"That was tactical spare to understand my growth."

"Sure ..sure..understand your growth....Leon. Sure...I know it very well."

Then Aiden laughter broke out .

At the same time principal Herald talked one more time.

A vast acre of arena just behind him looked full of people, and the center of it was lit up with magic fire.

The audience bent forward all at once.

Test Three: The Tournament of champions.

"The best sixteen of those who have passed tests in the last tests—,1 " Herald said,

" —will fight one on one in the public Grand Arena."1

All expressed immediate response, gasps, cheers, jittery conversation.

' My heart beat faster. I have proven this time that I am not Rank 1 not by chance.'

"All the matches there were broadcasted to all schools on the continent."

Herald's voice grew deeper.

"This will be pure based on your fighting skill. The best will be first-year and more."

A hologram reading began scrolling in the background of him. Every line felt like a hammer.

Rewards:

The courtyard fell silent.

A powerful weapon. That could change a life.

I had felt its weight and the tug of ambition within. Such power could not be underestimated.

Herald allowed a silence to come before he resumed.

"The rankings will be reset and all perviy scores and Previllage given to the rankers because all that is not necessary now. Next week you will have your ranking spot up or you will drop.

The hologram faded away and the blue light flashed off.

There was a silence in the entire Academy.

Then it burst.

There was a sound of applause, curses, laughter and Panic in the courtyard. It was as though one threw a magic core to the people and watched the electric shock spreading.

"Epic weapon?! I'm in!"

"Team with me! I have healing spells!"

"Sure, I'm doing it alone!"

"Oh gods, I'm doomed."

I watched the chaos. There was excitement and fear and adrenaline in the air--a hurricane of youthful ambition.

Aidan smiled slowly and sharp next to me. "A tournament, huh? It has been long since I had an opportunity to fight a person on legal grounds.

Whatever you wish you may look after yourself, or you will die first, I said.

Leon pulled his gloves tighter; a spark of fire skipped on one or other of his knuckles.

"Midterms, huh? Perhaps, it is high time to find out the distance we covered with other classmates and with Michael "

Maria had joined us by then. She had a composed glare despite the dismay.

"All of you are going to be the top sixteen?" I asked.

Her lips curled a little. "You sound like you are sure that we will be on Top 16."

"Am I said something wrong," I said honestly. I wonder who has the nerve to confront you."

She smiled- a small dangerous smile-- the first smile she had given, that morning. "Then see you in the arena."
