Chronicles of Forgotten Extra - Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Maybe I can fix her?

Chapter 52: Maybe I can fix her?

I stood in the orientation hall after Aziel left me alone.

My gaze wandered to find Amyra to see if what I saw was real or an illusion.

Her beauty was explained in the novel, but in reality, it hit differently.

I could feel the words about her in the novel were an understatement.

To be honest, I couldn’t trust myself even after seeing her smile.

It was just too abrupt.

I could digest any other characters smiling.

But her?

Nah, that couldn’t have been possible.

I must’ve imagined it.

She was not any other character but was a villain in the novel and not a minor one but a major one.

She was a cold character who didn’t care about anyone, not even her own family.

She was ruthless to the bone.

And such a character smiling?

Nah, that can’t be possible,it was for sure an illusion.

Although I didn’t want to believe it.

But what if she really smiled?

I felt a cold shiver run down my spine as I thought about it.

I wasn’t the type to see a beautiful woman acting crazy and say something like, ‘I could fix her.’ Although I had commented something like that when I read the part she was introduced as a villain in the novel.

But doing that in reality was difficult.

Or maybe I can fix her?

‘F*ck’ I cursed as I quickly distracted myself from that dangerous thought.

I couldn’t help but think, how could beauty have such power?

As I was distracting myself, I saw shimmering white hairs inside the crowd of students.

I quickly walked in that direction, hoping it was her.

‘Obviously for the sake of analysing and not for the sake of gawking at her like before.’ I convinced myself about the reason.

But, I saw a handsome boy standing there instead of Amyra.

I knew who he was after all, he was the protagonist of the novel.

His facial features were a bit similar to Amyra.

I looked at Lucien, who was standing still, looking at something at the door of the hall.

He had terrified expression on his face currently as if he had seen a ghost.

I didn’t want to interact with him…at least not yet.

But just as I was turning around to leave, I saw a girl approach him.

The girl had beautiful features enough to compete with Amyra.

Her blonde hair and her red eyes mixed with her delicate features gave her an innocent and fragile look.

But I knew she was far from how she looked.

Who else but Seles.

‘What’s that b*tch doing now?’ I couldn’t help but curse her as I saw her acting all cutely, asking for Lucien’s contact.

My stomach churned as I saw her acting.

I used to be her fan when I read the novel.

But now?

I don’t know why, but I hated her.

In the novel, which was from the perspective of the protagonist, her personality was never shown properly.

She was just described as someone who helped the protagonist every time and was very smart.

Although she had not interacted with me much.

But I knew her personality a bit more now.

I could see the sadistic nature she had hidden beneath her innocent and delicate features.

As for how I knew?

I understood it during my duel with Cedric.

She might’ve thought I didn’t notice her interference in the duel between me and Cedric.

But I had noticed how Cedric wasn’t able to move at the very last moment as if bound by his very own shadow.

I was sure she had used her special ability to bind Cedric at that time.

That was enough for me to know her personality.

A person who can be that ruthless and cold to her own twin brother cannot be helpful to anyone else.

I am sure now that she had also helped the protagonist in the novel for her own benefit.

I already had a headache thinking about how to deal with her.

Although she had not done anything to damage me directly, I was sure she was scheming something….

something that involved me.

She might think she have me in palms of her hand but that was far from truth.

Because I was ready to face anything she throws at me.

Just as I was lost in my thoughts, I saw the protagonist leaving as they had done with their talk.

Seles looked at Lucien’s back for a while before turning her head.

She had a small smile on her face.

Just then mine and her gaze met.

She paused for a while, before her smile widened as she waved her hand in my direction excitedly.

‘That b*tch ‘ I ignored her as I started walking towards the exit, not wanting to stay here anymore.

_______ After getting out of the orientation hall, I went straight towards my temporary lodging.

Although I wanted to explore the city that was mentioned so many times in the novel but I wasn’t in the mood to explore it today.

After walking for a bit more time, I arrived in front of a huge hotel.

Just the air around it seemed to scream of its luxury.

It was a five star hotel booked by the family for all its members.

But it was just temporary, as once my dorm was assigned, I would shift there.

I quickly entered the hotel as I saw many students from influential families roaming in the hotel lobby.

Some were chatting with each other and some were waiting for somebody.

They were just like me, students who had just passed the entrance test.

I saw Aziel among them talking to a beautiful girl with similar brown hair and grey eyes as him.

She looked graceful and elegant.

I knew immediately who she was.

Lyra Ignaris.

One of the female leads of the novel.

She excelled in fire magic and was considered a genius in its application.

Aziel was always overshadowed by her brilliance.

Although he himself wasn’t that talentless, due to his comparison with her, he didn’t even try to put in any effort, and that’s why he was ridiculed as weakest in his family.

But Lyra cared deeply for Aziel, her love hidden behind her stern demeanour.

After Aziel died in the novel, she was devastated and swore to take revenge on the demon contractor who had killed him.

And as you might’ve guessed, the protagonist helped her, and they grew closer and eventually fell in love.

Well, it was a typical cliché plot to make her grow closer to Lucien.

‘Well, but that didn’t have anything to do with me.’ I thought as I swiftly walked away, trying to avoid Aziel’s attention.

But as always, my bad luck struck as he saw me and yelled loudly, “Hey Alden.” The whole lobby went silent as they stared at me.

‘Shit’ I felt embarrassed by all the stares in my direction.

The murmuring broke out as most people immediately recognised me from my black hair and red eyes.

“Hey, isn’t he the illegitimate son of the Draven family?” “What’s he even doing in the academy?” “If I were him, I would’ve shut myself in some closed-off room.” “Hey, speak quietly; he was ranked at eight.

Haven’t you seen?” “So what, he’s just an illegitimate son, what’s he going to do?” I didn’t feel anything except a tinge of annoyance about it as I was already used to such murmuring.

I looked at one of the people, a boy with grey hairs, as he was the most direct in his insults about me.

He was looking at me haughtily as if he didn’t care how I felt.

I gazed straight into the eyes, activating [Predatory Gaze] at full intensity I could finally see his haughty attitude vanish, replaced by fear.

Nothing changed in the surroundings.

Nobody even knew that I activated my ability.

Only the boy felt it as his whole body started sweating profusely.

“Hey, what’s happening to you?” One of the students who stood beside him asked him, but before he could get a reply, he smelled a pungent odour coming from the boy.

He quickly got away from the grey-haired boy, seeing his pants wet.

The attention of the lobby shifted from my direction to the grey-haired boy.

A moment of silence as nobody spoke before the whole lobby echoed with laughter… “Hahahaha, look at that fool, he pissed in his pants.” “What was he even thinking?

Hahaha.” All the people started laughing at the boy, completely forgetting about my existence.

I looked at Aziel, who was also looking at the grey-haired boy.

I took the opportunity as I quickly slipped by…making my way to my room, already feeling too tired to do anything.

As soon as I arrived in my room, I closed the door and just collapsed on the bed.

I was already feeling tired from all the ‘shit’ that happened today.

My body relaxed as soon as I felt the soft mattress of the bed, and I fell asleep.
