Chronicles of Forgotten Extra - Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Academy Entrance Test (2) Chapter 44: Academy Entrance Test (2) Alden looked at the wolf with fire as a mane carefully; the wolf didn’t attack either; its eyes were shining with intelligence… Alden was eager to try his new sub-skills, but he had to be careful to not reveal more than necessary…

He had decided to be in the top 10 in the academy….

‘Although I was an extra in the novel, that didn’t mean I needed to be one in reality as well.’ The wolf’s mane glowed brighter as it growled, the heat distorting the air around it.

Alden could feel the temperature rising as sweat was starting to form on his forehead.

Before the beast could even attack him, he activated his [Eyes of Supreme], scanning for any weakness within the wolf as he also used the predatory gaze….

As soon as his skill was activated, the wolf started howling as its body froze due to fear….

Alden didn’t waste any time as he swiftly attacked the vital part of the wolf as shown by his skill.

The neck of the wolf was severed cleanly just like butter as its lifeless body fell off soon… [Points 20+] His bracelet vibrated as he soon saw the notification….

‘Why was this so easy?’ Alden thought as he recalled how much he had struggled once again with a tortoise that was at the same rank as him back then.

But now?

Beast of the same rank was defeated within seconds without even expending much energy… ‘It was primarily because it was a beast and not a human that it was defeated easily.’ As unlike humans, the beast relied more on instinct than on intelligence, hence the predatory gaze, which created instinctive fear, affected them with more efficiency….

Alden was still careful while revealing his abilities; he had already scanned the whole area for any hidden cameras with his [Eyes of Supreme] before killing the beast in one strike… ‘I didn’t want to get on the radar of that crazy principal yet.’ That was the sole reason he was not revealing his abilities… It was not like his ability had any visible changes to his body or surroundings, so they were hard to detect unless he used them in the presence of someone strong….

He could use them freely in this space where at most the professors of the academy were monitoring through cameras and that too mainly focusing on top candidates…but he was still careful as he didn’t want to stand out as too strong…

at least not unless he was well prepared to face problems that came by being strong… He looked at the fallen wolf one last time before turning around walking deeper into the forest… ‘How many should I hunt?’ He thought about how many monsters he would actually have to kill to be in the top 10 students… There was only one reason he wanted to be in the top 10, and that was due to the facilitation provided by the academy to their top students…

and he sure wasn’t going to miss them as they could help him grow stronger faster… As he was walking, he suddenly stopped… As he remembered something, he lightly tapped on his bracelet… as the screen popped up.

[Map] [Points – 20] [Current Rank – 747/1340] ‘It seems there are 1340 candidates participating in the test,’ he whispered softly as he looked at his rank… ‘I need to move fast.’ _____________ In the heart of the forest, a girl moved with grace, her expression impassive.

Her every step contained an air of confidence.

She was Nyx Ravenscar.

Her jet-black hair had golden tips that shimmered in the sunlight, and her deep blue eyes were emotionless… Both of her hands held daggers.

The daggers were pitch black and deadly.

They seemed sharp enough to slice through even steel as if it were butter.

Then she heard a sound of metal clashing.

She quickly halted her steps, quietly hiding behind a tree.

Her blue eyes narrowed as she observed the scene unfolding in a clearing ahead of her.

There she saw three students-a boy and two girls-ganging up on another lone boy.

The battle was quick to end as the lone boy was disqualified soon, his body fading into golden light, teleporting to safety due to receiving a fatal injury… The trio stood over there looking at the bracelet left by the boy before disappearing; one of the girls bent down to collect it.

It dissolved into light as soon as she touched it, merging with her own.

Nyx stepped out from her hiding spot, her movements silent… The group froze, eyes widening as they looked at her figure.

All three of them went into a daze due to her beauty; even the girls weren’t spared… But they soon snapped out of their daze.

“I’ll take her points,” one of the girls said, already calling dibs on Nyx’s points.

“Why don’t we ask her to join us?” The boy spoke, his face flashing with lust as he sneaked a peek at Nyx… Before the boy could act on his thoughts, one of the girls lunged at Nyx.

Attacking her with a sword, moving at fast speed… But before the attack could even touch her, Nyx vanished and reappeared in front of the boy, her daggers pointing at his throat.

Before the boy could react, his body disintegrated, fading away as he was disqualified… The two remaining girls stared at her in disbelief…They couldn’t believe what had just transpired.

“How did you…?” One of them stammered.

“You’re just at Novice Advanced Rank, the same as us…” Nyx said nothing, her face cold and emotionless as she vanished again.

This time, she reappeared behind the girl who had attacked her.

Her daggers struck swiftly, and the girl vanished too.

The last girl turned to run away, recognizing the danger of Nyx.

But before she could get away, Nyx had already appeared before her.

Her daggers flashing again as the last girl disappeared too… Nyx stood silently as she picked up their bracelets one by one.

They dissolved into light, adding their points to hers.

[Points +100] She lightly tapped her bracelet as a screen popped up showing her current rank and total points… [Map] [Points- 300] [Current Rank – 1] Her lips curled slightly.

She wanted to lay low, but her pride didn’t accept her ranking any lower than rank 1….

“I have made it in the academy…

now I just have to find out who he is?.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS CrimsonFable Your gift is the motivation for my creation.
