The Extra's Survival

Running through the corridor, I entered the classroom just in time with two minutes left to 8 AM.

Dragging my tired legs, I somehow managed to get on my seat.

Yesterday, I was exhausted with the weight training in the gravity chamber.

My energy was completely depleted on the first day. It was even difficult to raise my foot to walk.

I was so excited about using the new technology that I made the mistake of newbies.

In my previous life, everyone gets a warning on the first day to take it’s nice and slow, improve your basic, built solid foundation.

I have neither time nor external help like top rankers that use a potion to quickly recover. I have to rely on myself.

With the ringing of the bell, the class started.

The first was history class. The subject was only for first-years to give knowledge of the previous era in honour of their achievement so that they can learn something from that.

Cough…

“So first and foremost let me give you a brief of the greatest war between alliance with demons.”

After speaking for half an hour about knowledge that I already knew, the important part that came now caught everyone’s attention.

“After the endless war between demon and other races leaving the world in shatters. The demon king finally makes its move.”

” Humans strongest warrior Marcus who was known as Martial God along with warriors of dwarves and elves finally killed him.”

I looked at the teacher and chuckled.

The professor himself don’t know the full story, Knowing the information from before I started yawning but it was not his fault for not knowing the truth. It was known only to 9-star warriors or if you hold an important position in the court of King.

The truth is the demon king is still alive but it is in a coma. During the war due to its loss, the demon king devoured a huge number of the ul of its subordinates along with citizens forcefully breaking to what humans called 10-star realm or Ex rank for demons.

To overcome the crisis, Marcus along with many 9-star warriors burn their life force transferring their mana to Marcus. Using the life force power of others, he broke through to 10 stars. Still, it became difficult for him to kill him so he sealed the demon king in the coffin and with the slash of its sword separated the land occupied by the demon.

The demon occupied 4/10 of land where humans, elves, dwarves and other minor species occupied a total of 6/10 of land with a distance of 20,000km ocean between them

Still, with modern technology, it is quite easy to cross this distance.

The professor suddenly stopped talking looking at the boy with a golden who has bored look on his face not paying any attention.

“Hey, you.”

I looked at the professor pointing his fingers at my row.

I thought he was pointing backwards.

” Why are you looking back. I am asking you?”

Clenching my teeth I stood up.

“You seems to know more than me.”

“Answer how to differentiate between demons and humans.”

I looked at the professor knitting my furrows.

How is this question is related to history? He surely looking for a reason to punish me.

I ran my mind at full speed looking for any possible answer.

“Higher demon has two forms one looked like a human while other demonic form having horns and tails. “

” We can test their blood as the colour of the blood varies from human-like violet, purple, green. “

“We can also see their mana signature as their mana have demonic energy. When a human transfers mana to another it gives a relaxing fee,l while if take demonic energy you will start feeling pain in the path where mana will flow.”

This is the best possible answer I can be able to come up with, without using my knowledge of the novel.

After finishing my answer, I found everyone giving me weird looks. Seeing the looks I was getting, my back was drenched in sweat.

‘I probably made a mistake.’I thought.

“You have more knowledge for a 1st year.”

” Huh!”Lucas exclaimed.

Unable to process the things that happened, I thought the professor was being sarcastic.

“Even if you have full knowledge of history don’t doze off in class. Now sit down and focus on class.”

Hush

The plan to remain low key is going to be astray.

The classes were finally over. Checking the time it is 4 in the evening.

I left the class quickly towards the cafeteria.

My stomach had been burning with hunger for a few hours.

There was a free meal here but it was common thinking that the free meal wouldn’t taste as good as the other.

I took a normal meal for 5R. The food was simply delicious which can be served in any 5-star restaurant.

Munch… Munch.

Chewing my food quickly. If anyone looked at me he would surely think of me as someone who has not eaten for a few months.

The cafeteria has three floors.

The first floor where which dishes to be served decided by staff.

The second floor is a wider area with luxurious food in the buffet system. This is mainly used by low ranked Noble or their underling.

The third floor has many rooms with bookings. Here you can book one of the rooms and can do anything you eat.

Unless you book a room or have an invitation you cannot enter here. Only higher ranked noble can be seen here.

Finishing my lunch I went straight to the training hall.

I picked a sword from the storage.

The length and grip of the sword were perfect.

I like a long sword with long handles. I don’t care whether it was a single or double edge sword.

The sword feels quite good.

Admiring it for a second I made my way to practice with the dummy.

Strength, stamina and swordsmanship were my primary focus as my, perception is at a peak of 1 star while my magic control is still lacking but I need a proper teacher in that matter.

If by mistake I mess with my mana pathway it’s going to be troublesome.

I started swinging my sword with everything I have learned so far running countless scenarios in my mind.

The helplessness I felt in front of the brown wolf was still in my mind.

Never again.

I don’t want to experience that feeling again.

…..

Swish… Swish

Slash… Slash

I have lost the track of time in practice.

My whole body covered in sweat with clothes drenching in sweat make one seems I just came out of the pools.

Huff… Huff.

“Hmmm”.

Looking back I found Miss Ami staring at me don’t know from when she was standing.

I was too lost in practice to notice.

“Want some tips”.

Huh.

” There is something wrong with your body. As if your body knows the movement but you were not able to keep with it”.

“It’s quite astonishing but there seems to be disharmony between your mind and body”.

‘You are quite right to cause this is not my real body after all.’I thought.

I murmured myself.

“First decrease your sword practice. Increase your physical training after the gaps in your movement disappear, you can focus on swordsmanship”.

“Thanks” I bowed.

“You don’t need to mention”

“Take this”.

She threw a manual at me.

” This”.

I was surprised at the manual she gave.

[Drifting blade style]: Grade 2

“This is the degraded style of sword moves I practice”.

” This is too much for me to accept “I pleaded earnestly.

Scripture is less costly than skills. Think of it as martial arts in the cultivation world.

” Don’t think too much”.

“I have no use for it. For me it is worthless”.

Once you become 8 star anything below grade 4 is useless.

Anyone who becomes an 8-star warrior invents his fighting style making scripture useless for them.

It is the only guidebook for lower ranks like us, to get a suitable fighting style.

Giving me the scripture she went back.

It was already 11 PM.

I scanned my surrounding to see Fredrick.

I looked around to see the training hall has become almost empty except few second and third years.

“They must be low ranked who don’t have good training facility like myself”.

While higher ranked students seldomly visit training hall most of them are taking slow after opening.

This place gonna be full by the time midterms arrive.

” Shall I call it day”?

————-

On her way to the office room, she found Harris looking at the training.

“Is it worth giving it to him. You could give it to others after all he is only bronze rank”.

” He may not have infinite potential but that doesn’t forbid us from helping him”.

“See, his eyes with every move his eyes glow like he is having much fun”.

” He may be simple he has an endless thirst for power. He is not going be stop at a mere 3 or 4 stars. My senses are telling me”.

Women sure have weird sense Harris pondered but he was too afraid to say.

Who knows there may be news tomorrow a combat instructor was found dead in the training hall for teasing a woman.

Everyone in the hero association knows this seemingly kind lady will not take a glance if you become her enemy.

“Hey what are thinking,” Ami asked raising her eyebrows.

“Nothing Nothing” Harris waved his hand.

“Let’s go to the staff room”.

The two walked away leaving behind the students to train.
