Extra's Hatred System

Chapter 8: First Class

"We have to hurry, the teacher will be pissed if we're late" Mina said, interrupting my thoughts.

"Right."

After cleaning the dishes and getting ready, we headed for our first class, which was supposed to be the most important one since the beggining: the powerscaling test, the first arc of the novel.

The classroom was immense and at it's back were a large amount of rows with seats, the floor and walls were covered in blue lights and a lot of people were gathered inside.

According to the novel, the 1000 people who were allowed inside of the school were divided in 10 classes of 100 students each.

And the fact Mina told me we needed to go together meant that... no, I don't even wanna think about it.

As I entered the classroom, I saw what I feared the most: many of the main characters, heroines and antagonists sitting on different chairs, I especially noticed Daemon who was taking a nap at the far back.

I was in class 1, the one where most of the events in the novel would happen, basically the most dangerous one...

I glanced to my right and saw who would be the one teaching us.

It was a woman, she had brown hair, a very slim figure and her eyes were red, she was an extremely attractive and beautiful woman and according to the novel, one of the most talented people in the academy, she was also an elf which was why her magic power was so strong.

"Oh, it seems like the student who had been asleep for a few days finally woke up" she said enthusiastically, thus catching the attention of the other students as they all looked at me, "my name is Ms.Lana, feel free to ask any questions if needed!"

"Thank you" I bowed before getting pulled by Mina to one of the rows and being obligated to sit next to her.

"We have already talked about the basics the past three days, Kaine, but I believe your little friend next to you will explain it later" the teacher told me.

I nodded at her words and thanked her again for her kindness.

The first hour of class was perfectly normal, she spoke about monsters and things I already knew about but I still tried to focus on her words as to not show i'm a slacker.

But at one point, the teacher closed her laptop, thus turning off the big screen that was showing us the information we needed to see and...

"Today is friday, but as you all might already know, today is the day of the first test: the powerscaling test" all of a sudden everybody in class started to listen to her every word, "it is a very important evaluation in this school, every year we organize it and it is used to determine the power levels of the students and to motivate them to become stronger."

"What is the test teacher?" a silver haired beastgirl asked.

"You will know when we reach the advanced reality room."

Of course, I already knew where this was going and the final ranking of the class but I still decided to act surprised.

"Follow me" Ms.Lana gestured with her fingers.

We followed her lead and arrived infront of a huge building, there were a lot of signs that pointed the directions we should be taking and the place itself was pretty easy to navigate, but the advanced reality room was hidden deep inside the buildings of the school and the only way to access it was a keycard only teachers had.

When we arrived, Ms.Lana was standing outside a white metal door and was waiting for all of us.

"This is the ARR, and the place where the test will take place" she announced.

The advanced reality room, or ARR for short was a gigantic simulation area designed specifically for physical and power tests such as this one, it is the pinecal of technology.

As soon the students and the teachers passed the door, we were greeted by a big circular space and a platform in the middle.

"Welcome" an electronic voice sounded through the speakers, "we will begin the test in five minutes, please stand in line"

I took a deep breath and prepared for what was to come, and after a few seconds, the voice echoed once more.

"Please enter the platform."

We all walked to the center on the platform, every single one of the 101 students could stand on it and there was still a lot of space, this was just how big that room was.

"Please prepare yourselves, the simulation will start now" the voice echoed one last time.

A blinding light then surrounded the platform and the environment changed completely.

It was a forest and we were currently surrounded by trees, the only empty space right now was the circle where the platform previously was.

I could hear the discussions from the other students and their reactions to this change of scenery.

But all of a sudden, holographic screens appeared everywhere around us, and with that came a voice reading the text written on them.

[The powerscaling test is simple: you all will be released in different directions inside the forest and will have to fight low-level monsters inside to get points

There are three types of monsters that will give you points if defeated:

Dwarves: one point.

Magic wolves: three points.

Tree demons: five points.

???: ??? points.

The test will last three hours and your number of points will be your final ranking at the end.

Those who die from the monsters will be immediately sent back to the room and will be considered eliminated.

Good luck.]

And then everything went quiet.

I could feel the anxiety in the atmosphere, nobody knew what was happening.

Except me that is.

I had no powers and currently was defenseless, but I was the one who knew this forest best.

And so under the gazes of all the people who were panicking, I walked in one of the directions toward the overwhelming ocean of trees ahead and didn't look back.

I was diving into the unknown and into the uncertainty of survival.

But it's fine.

Because my goal was simple: survive for three hours.

I don't need any of that fame or try to be the best bullshit after all.

[Anger meter: 47/100]

I was now alone with the eerie sound of nature as my sole company, I wish I could of brought Mina with me so that I could of had just a bit of defense but...

What i'm about to do is extremely reckless and dangerous, and requires me to be alone to max my odds of success.

And with these thoughts in mind, the powerscaling test finally began.
