The Extra's Odyssey

"Ara Ara. This isn't the place to play, you know."

Blocking Ken was a girl that nobody in the class had seen before.

But Ken was already enraged, and he didn't pay much attention to her.

"Move!"

He growled as he struggled to go past her. His head was already filled with thoughts on how to kill Leon so much that he couldn't see the obvious gap in strength.

If he was thinking straight, he should have realized that someone with a striking appearance and strength like her was bound to get attention but nobody has seen her before.

In his anger, he decided to deal with the hindrance first.

He twisted his heel and kicked toward her temple at full force. The attack was fast and precise, and most cadets couldn't even see it.

Before the kick connected, Ken's figure blurred, and he was smashed to the wall.

Ken was struggling to stand when a clear voice flowed into his ears.

"Ara, it seems our juniors are quite energetic."

Before he could stand, his knees buckled from the pressure she was releasing. The pressure made his mind clearer and he could finally think straight.

Still, Ken couldn't take the humiliation and tried to stand back up.

"Stop with this nonsense."

A gruff voice echoed in the class.

***

I was looking at the spectacle in front of me with twinkling eyes. Seeing the story you've read in front of your eyes gave a different feeling altogether.

After another cadet entered the class, Ken had no choice but to stop.

I knew the girl who had entered the class.

She was Tia Maybell, a 3rd-year student and the core character involved in the first event that showed the sadistic tendency of that piece of trash author.

She was here due to the Student council's work.

If I had to guess, the other guy was with her and also a member of the Student Council.

Tia smiled and looked towards the class.

"Now that the interruptions are gone, so we should start, shall we?"

She glanced at the entire class and smiled. Seeing her, I could confirm that her looks were only second to the main cast.

Her every action contained elegance and grace. She felt like nobility from the way she behaved.

"We are the members of the student council and we are here to explain to you about the clubs."

As Tia was speaking, a head popped into the class through the door. Not many people saw the redhead that was peeking inside the class.

"The clubs are open from today onwards. All of you can find the details and venue in your bracelets."

'Hmm?'

The redhead was heterochromatic with emerald green and a golden eye.

It felt like I had seen her somewhere before.

"We are here to announce that from this year 1st years can also join the student council."

The entire class began buzzing after Tia spoke. The offer was very enticing.

Not every cadet wanted to fight on the frontlines. Joining the student council at the world's top academy would give them a good record that could set their future.

This offer was also good for cadets that would join the frontlines. The student council would allow them to make strong connections in the outside world.

'That red hair and those eyes....'

She kept scouring through the class when suddenly her eyes landed on me and a smile blossomed on her face.

At that moment, I remembered where I saw her.

'She's the one who was with me before the Byzander island exam?'

From her appearance, I could also tell she was Isabell Parker.

"Haaah…"

I was already fatigued because of a constant lack of sleep but her appearance made me lose whatsoever energy I had.

I only felt like giving up.

Why Nathan was involved with the most abnormal people?

After the exam, there had been no contact between Isabell and me.

It was because I never left my room other than going to class or the training center at midnight. Leaving her no opportunity to find me.

Also, if Nathan had packed something for himself, then it hadn't arrived till now. I didn't have her or anybody's contact details, or anything belonging to Nathan.

The only way to contact other cadets was to have their bracelet id.

It was the reason Isabell wasn't able to meet me till now.

Of course, if I had tried we probably could have met before, but I wanted to delay the meeting.

I wasn't comfortable meeting someone who knew Nathan.

I knew it wasn't my fault that I transmigrated into this kid.

Despite that, I was a piece of shit, for I was going to deceive his loved ones by impersonating him.

I knew this, but I was still going to do that.

I let my life be destroyed because I didn't deserve to live happily after what I did.

But this was another world. Here I was, someone different.

'I will live a good life in my second chance, no matter what I have to do.'

The problem right now was Isabell.

I was able to recognize her because of her striking appearance and she was an important character.

Leaving her hidden identity aside, the most troublesome thing about her was that she was a gag character.

Probably because the story had become too dark. That piece of trash added her as comic relief.

She was someone who would always survive the worst situations in the most senseless and comical way.

The problem here was how the author showed that the situation was hopeless even though she survived funnily. He always killed the people together with her in a brutal way to portray dangerous situations.

And it looks like I am supposed to know her on a personal level.

"Haah…"

I've been sighing a lot these days. But I wasn't at fault.

These days, I would occasionally find Lilith staring at me in deep thought. She was already troublesome. Now I know someone even more ridiculous.

And I can't deny knowing Isabell.

I walked out shortly after Tia and the other guy left. I figured it would be better to talk with Isabell outside.

I needed to be calm if I wanted to fool her.

"Hey, why didn't you contact me till now?"

The moment I stepped outside the class, I was pulled by my ears.

"Did you know how worried everyone was? Why didn't you pick up your phone?"

"Wait! Wait! Ow! Let me speak! Ow Ow"

"Oh, now you want to make an excuse? Good, let's hear."

Although she said so, she never left my ear and kept twisting it.

'Dammit! What kind of interpersonal relation did Nathan and Isabell have?'

I could hear someone laughing behind us, but I could care less about it at the moment. She was scarily smiling at me.

"Isabell, you should stop now. His ears are going to fall off."

Following the voice's instruction, Isabell stopped.

"We are going to talk about this later."

Isabell whispered in my ears and stood back.

"Looks like you finally found him."

"Yes, everyone was worried sick because there was no contact from his side. We were only able to breathe easily when Ward's congratulatory certificate came, after a week, that is."

Isabell looked at me and continued to smile.

"Ara, he doesn't look like someone irresponsible. He must have his reasons."

Wanting to end the fiasco, I opened my mouth before the issue would escalate.

"I didn't get my things back, so I wasn't able to contact you. As for home, cough…"

I didn't know that it was only my package that still hadn't arrived.

I should've made some friends, dammit.

"I forgot the contact details."

I could only play dumb for not contacting Nathan's parents.

I know the excuse was poor, but I had no way of contacting them when I didn't even know their contact details.

Hearing my excuse, Isabell's expression drastically changed.

"Isn't it too much?! Why do you always treat them like this?! They only want what's best for you!"

Without speaking another word, she left.

I didn't know what kind of person Nathan was, but from her words, it was clear that his parents loved him.

I could feel the knot in my chest tighten.

"Ara, it seems she got angry. You need to treat a girl more gently if you want to woe her."

Tia winked and also left after that.

Staring at their backs, I sighed.

"Give me your contact details!"

Isabell suddenly appeared again and snatched my wrist. Typing something on the screen, she again left.

'I can wallow in pity later.'

It was time that I began looking into Nathan's background in earnest.
