Extra Pages: The Author's Odyssey-Chapter 41 Worst Nightmare [ 1 ]

41 Worst Nightmare [ 1 ]

"So who wants to eat something? Let's go to the cafeteria." Adrian asked as we exited the office of Miss Lilian. Even after the fight, he did not break the sweat.

'What monster indeed.'

"I'm coming after all of this commotion I have to eat something." Emma was the first one to replay as always. "What about you two?" she asked Evelyn and Lyra.

"I'll also come."

"Me too."

Both of them said, seeing that they didn't have anything to do now so why not join it?

"And what about you Lucas? Will you come with us?" Adrian also asked but no, I don't want anywhere near them at the moment. "No, I'm fine, you guys go and have some fun. And besides I had some job left"

I replied as I walked away from them.

"Ok, I guess?" he probably is confused as to why not I'm coming with them. After all, if we're any other guys they would love to have to grab meals with them.

"Let's go guys, sorry I mean girls," Adrian said but seeing that only girls were here he corrected himself. Both Emma and Lyra chuckled at his mistake. But Evelyn's attention was somewhere else. She sees the back of Lucas as he walks away in these lonely halls.

'It's just like in past, he always distances himself from the group.'

She thought as he walked away from her reach.

If Lucas just turned his head one time he would have been able to catch a glimpse of Evlyen's unexpected expression. There was no disgust, no hatred toward him, no contempt. 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲𝐰𝗲𝐛𝐧𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗰𝗼𝐦

There was just loneliness, but that expiration went as soon as it came.

'It's all in past, there is no need to dwell on the past.' she thought, as she shook her head.

"Let's go, Evelyn," Lyra said as she started to walk with Emma.

"Ah, yes Coming," she replied as she also went with them.

'Can the relationship between them mend?'

That was her last thought. Some distance away from them Lucas was walking in deep thought. His thoughts went on today's event.

Damit, it should not be like this.

In the novel, there is no battle between Adrian and 7 to 8 second-year students. It's all because of Evelyn. Because her plot changed, and not only that I also had to participate in the battle. I caress my head as I think. In the [ Blade of Destiny ] this is an important time for Adrian.

Originally when Tony Pressured them with his Mana density, Adrian did not use his system or any of his skills.

He wanted, to see just how powerful Tony was.

Because of that, he forgot about Emma as she was deeply injured and he did not take any action, If had taken any action he would able to save Emma but he did not.

He blames himself for her condition. After that, he became protective of her, and their relationship also increased.

But hear nothing like this happens. Emma did take damage to her body but Lyra was here to heal her instantly. They did not confront the Second-year student so early in the plot but now they do because of Evelyn. "It's so frustrating," I said as I reached behind of Academy.

Well, it's not like it can change now, what has been done is done. I thought so

Let's think about complicated stuff later.

I'm currently in the Hunting field, where I had to face an [Artificial monster].

Many of you must be wondering what I'm doing here. Well, when I told Adrian that I had a job left I was telling the truth.

"You see I had Kill Some Mouse" I said aloud as reached deep into the forest of Hinting grounds.

Since last week, people have kept insulting me behind my back.

Classroom, training ground, Cafeteria, whenever I went they gave a glance at some crime I did, which I'm not aware of.

I thought that maybe they were jealous of the theory knowledge, as somehow I became a favourite student of Professor Theo.

But I was wrong.

As you already know three days ago without any reason Gorge tried to pick a fight off me.

In that fight, I beat him in a cruel so the other students stopped talking about my back.

But it did not stop before they talked secretly but now they didn't hide their disgust. I learned two things from this.

First, the fight I had with Gorge was someone else doing, I mean someone must told Gorge to fight with me.

Second, someone targeted me. I don't know who they are but I have a few guesses. ***

Inside Hunting Ground within a deep forest, four students were gathered. All of them were males and wore academy uniforms. Three of them were together in a group sort of but the other one stood alone, at a distance from the three of them.

The name of these three students was, Gorge, Vikas, and Ajay.

And the lone student who stood in front of them was…Lucas.

"Welcome gentlemen, I was waiting for you," he mumbled.

He was not smiling, and his eyes looked sleepy. Something about the air he had around him, gave Wikas and the others a bad feeling.

"Are you the one who called us here?" asked Winston, the question directed at Lucas.

"Yes and no, yes I did call someone and the one is Gorge, No I did not call you. Well, it doesn't matter all the extra comes from the group."

Gorge who was silent spoke, his voice hesitant, Sinh of the last encounter with them.

"What do you want Lucas Why did you call me here?

"I remember to tell you you came alone but here you are bringing some bodyguards with you, Why is that?" Lucas instead asks the question, ignoring Gorge.

At that, there was a smirk on Gorge's Face.

"Why you ask? Of course to beat you up, for what you did to me." Gorge all fear gone as he looked at his Left and right. "Yes-yes I know that you will do something like that, so let's skip third-rate villain ship and answer this, Who is targeting me?"

"How do you know that?" Gorge flinchs back and asks him instead.

"So, there is someone, after all, now tell me who is the one."

Gorge went silent. His back was dripped with sweat and so were the other two students with him; Vikas and Ajay. Both of them had seen how badly Lucas best Gorge in the dressing room. "Because of someone trying to Fuck up my life which is already enough Fucked, If you don't tell me then letter you don't have a mouth to speak." he paused to see their expression, and their expression was shit.

Satisfy he continued.

"The anger I was boiling inside of Even now I want to clench that neck of yours and squeeze the life out of you. But we are in the academy and I can't do that I'm afraid, Such a loss, isn't it?" said Lucas as he walked forward.

At this point he was right in front of Gorge, staring directly into his eyes.

Now, Lucas's voice grew angrier and louder as he spoke. The expression on his face also began to change.

Gorge is a cautious man, hence seeing this he decided to back down. Sometimes surrendering on your own is better than having the enemy kill you.

After all, anyone who will kill a person who raises their hands and surrenders will be seen as a coward or so were his thoughts.

"L-Look, I'm sorry for what happened okay? It was not that I did that because I wanted to, no. Someone tell me to beat you.

"And who is this 'someone' you speak of tell me."

Gorge gulps large saliva, forgetting all of the bravado he had.

"I-i can't tell you that."

Lucas stared at him for a while and then said.

"I know that you are a third-rate extra so all I have to beat you up.

After the last part, a punch connected to Winston's abdomen; it was Ucas who did it.

The punch carried a great amount of force behind it, and Gorge ended up spitting a few drops of blood as he stumbled backwards.

"H-Hey, wait! Can't we talk our way—Ahhhhh!"

Another punch landed in the same place as before, dealing even more damage than the last one. Gorge clenched his stomach and knelt on the ground, groaning in pain.

Seeing these events unfold before their eyes, Vikas and Ajay sensed the danger.

They looked into each other's eyes and nodded, both knew what they had to do and agreed on it.

Slowly walking away from Winston, they soon maintained a distance. Once they were far enough, they decided to make a run for it.

Hence they turned and started taking a few fast-paced steps.

"Don't think I'll let you leave! What if Both of you tell the instructor what happening hear, Miss Lillian just gave me an ear-opening lecture."

"L-Lucas let us go we won't tell anyone about this."

"Yes, we won't tell anyone."

"You see, if just Gorge told me what I wanted, this wouldn't be happening, So sorry guys can't do that."

The next moment Lucas raised his right arm. A sword came from Ai's Bracelet he quickly slashed the sword down with tremendous force behind it.

Both Ajay and Vikas try to distance themselves from the upcoming sword but it's too late.

"Ahhhhh!"

"Fuck! It hurts!"

In the next second two pained screams were heard. As the sword slashed their Thai, spitting blood from it.

Lucas did not serve the bone tissue, if he did they would need a high-level healer to heal the bone tissue.

Both of them fell to the ground and held their legs tightly as they groaned in pain. Blood flowed from their flesh and painted the ground beneath.

They kept whimpering but Lucas ignored all that after he made sure that they couldn't escape now.

"Now, where were we?" he said, turning his face toward Gorge.

At that moment Gorge knew that Lucas was his 'Worst Nightmare.'
