The Extra's Dominance

July 5, 2080.

Sunday, 2:00 PM.

...

...

[Alec's POV]

After waking up at 5:30 AM this morning, I ate breakfast then I took a bath.

After that, I went to the Lunar Library with the intention to study.

And I stayed there until 11:45 AM.

I left to eat lunch and didn't come back to the library after that.

Instead, I went back to my dorm.

Then I rested and meditated there until 1:50 PM.

And now... I'm currently heading to the private dueling arena that Raven reserved.

Yes, Raven and I are going to have a spar.

Raven just randomly asked me for a spar yesterday, I was confused at first to be honest.as it's unexpected.

But a one-on-one match against Raven...

'I can't just decline it for some reason.'

I'm curious how strong Raven really is, I want to experience it first, his strength that made many people admire him.

'And if he's strong enough, then I will do my best to persuade him to join me in my goal to defeat the demon lord...'

I thought with a great determination!

"The demon lord..."

Based on the knowledge I acquired along with my past life memories, the demon lord is a being that's powerful enough to dominate every demon.

Be it in terms of physical prowess, magical power, intelligence, or any other aspects!

And the demon who helplessly killed me in my past life was not even working directly under the demon lord!

'And compared to my past self...'

'I'm still weak...'

,m So if the demons started their invasion now, I would utterly be helpless again!

And my family and the precious people around me would be in danger!

'I don't want that to happen, so I need to be stronger as fast as I can...'

"And find more people who can help me in my goal."

I declared with a great determination.

I know that I can't possibly take down all the demons all by myself, so I need to gather comrades.

Anyway, looking at around me...

"..."

I noticed something weird.

'I haven't seen much people after lunch.'

I thought.

I only saw a few staffs and students on my way here, and they're all just looking at me weirdly.

Also, I haven't seen or heard anything from Blake, Adelle, Eve, Aoi, Curtis, and Raven ever since this morning.

And after thinking for a bit...

I concluded that...

"Today is a weekend, so maybe they're making a full use of it and having fun somewhere."

Then after that, I fastened my pace as I don't want to make Raven wait.

***

After a few minutes of walking, Alec reached the place where him and Raven would have a spar.

It's stadium that's at least four times bigger than his room that have an egg-like rooftop design.

The structure was made for private duels, so it was designed that one wouldn't be able to see what's happening inside

By the way, Alec still didn't saw much people while on his way here.

But he decided not pay attention about it as it's not an important topic.

So with that...

Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.

Alec entered the arena.

The path he need to take is not that long, so he got to the waiting area quickly.

But he's not there to rest, so Alec immediately left and walked toward the path that's connected to the main field where the fights are being held.

But as soon as he reached the main field...

Alec felt a lot of gazes on him!

"HE'S HERE!"

He heard someone yell, and Alec couldn't recognize who's voice is it!

"WHOOOOOO!"

"IT'S FINALLY STARTING!!!"

"MY GIRLFRIEND AND I ARE SUPPOSED TO BE OUT ON A DATE TODAY, BUT WE CANCELLED IT JUST TO WATCH THIS FIGHT!!!"

"SHUT UP, I HOPE YOU GUYS BROKE UP!"

""YEAH!!!""

"JERKS!"

And many other yellings from different people followed after that!

Alec looked around, and he saw that the spectator area of the arena are full of people!

There are students, staffs, and even some teachers!

And soon, Alec's gaze landed at the middle of the main field.

There's an individual standing there, looking at him while frowning.

It was Raven.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

And right after their eyes met each other, Raven hurriedly walked toward Alec!

"You idiot, I told you not to tell anyone!"

Raven exclaimed when he reached Alec.

"Well, I just thought that it would be a great help if there's an onlooker of our sparring, so they can tell us what we should improve on after watching us..."

"...So I told Curtis."

Alec meekly replied as he feels guilty.

Raven then pointed at Curtis, who was with the others at the corner of the main field. 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶

And Curtis is looking at them too with a smirk.

"That bitch told everyone!"

Raven said with an annoyed tone.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know he would do that."

Alec responded.

'Stupid, it's Curtis, of course he'll do that.'

Raven thought inwardly.

"Forget it..."

Fortunately, he was able to calm down, it was his trait acting up.

"Let's just get started and ignore them."

Raven said.

"Huh? Are you sure?"

Alec asked with wide eyes.

"We can just change the tia���"

"Idiot."

Alec was about to suggest that they could reschedule the sparring match, but Raven cut him midway. ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖

"Fights can happen anywhere and anytime, you can't just reschedule them."

Raven stated.

"And I can also use the attentions I'm getting for my trait..."

Then he added in a barely audible voice.

"What was that?"

Alec asked.

Raven looked at Alec.

"I asked if you still remember what we agreed on about the spar."

Then he lied through his teeth.

"Of course."

Not that Alec noticed it.

"No weapons, no magics, no artifacts, just body, mana and skills."

Alec stated.

And at his words, Raven nodded in satisfaction.

That's right!

They decided to fight using only their body, mana, skills, and abilities!

"Let's get ready."

"Okay."

After that, Raven and Alec walked away from each other.

They put about 50 meters distance between them...

Then both of them took a proper fighting stance.

And Alec and Raven look serious as hell!

"Huh, they're not gonna use any weapons?"

"Are they for real?"

Then the spectators started whispering to each other when they noticed what the two are planning.

"They're insane..."

Curtis then said with a frown.

"But it's more exciting this way!"

Adelle exclaimed.

"Who do you guys think is gonna win?"

And Blake asked.

"..."

"..."

But no one gave an answer.

Though, they all know that Alec is probably stronger and have a higher chance of winning.

They can't voice it out for some reason after seeing Raven's serious face...

"He's still annoying."

Eve then suddenly said when he looked at Raven.

"..."

Aoi just chose to remain silent.

Then after that...

"Ready?"

Curtis asked Raven and Alec.

And the whole arena became dead silent.

Alec and Raven just nodded their heads as a response.

And with further ado...

"Fight!"

Curtis exclaimed!

Bam-!

Bam-!

and right after that, both Raven and Alec disappeared from everyone's sight!

BOOM!

And they both reappeared in the middle of the main field!

Alec is holding Raven's right fist that was near at hitting his face with his right hand!

While Raven is holding Alec's left fist that was near on hitting his stomach with his left hand!

And seeing that sight, everyone felt goosebumps all over their bodies!
