My steps slow, but steady. As the cold air of the dusk envelopes me.
'Odin, I know. I know why I hunger for strength. Why, I want to change fate.'
'I have to word it carefully since Odin doesn't hear anything that has to do with the novel. I once spent an hour explaining something in which he didn't hear a thing.'
'Why? My boy.'
'It's simple, I want to save them. I want to see their stories.'
My pace fastens as the lights flicker in the distance.
You see nobles enjoy and partake in the celebration for the next generation, but what about the commoners?
They celebrate in their own way.
The bustling of the streets resonates through the crowds.
'Lily and Eric have their first date at this celebration. It's so much livelier than I could ever imagine.'
The sounds of the freshman and upper classman chatting. The delicious smells of the food that's being offered to all.
'Sometimes, filler is nice.'
Ding!
[Adrian: Eric, Alex, you guys should come to the Generational Celebration with us.]
[Eric: Are you sure we're both commoners isn't the festival for nobles]
[Eric: /ᐠ > ˕ <マ]
[Maria: It's fine, what's with the emoji?}
[Loki Laufy: /ᐠ > ˕ <マ]
[Maria: Not you too.]
[Loki Laufy: Lils don't be such a lurker]
[Lily Reihn Sabbah: What's a lurker? A type of monster?]
[Ari: Its w persob tgat doesm' treepomd but lopk s ag mesdsges]
[Lily Reihn Sabbah: I responded, didn't I?]
[Loki Laufy: How can you even understand that gibberish]
[Adrian: Aria, you should slow down.]
[Ari: I odn't havd time]
[Alex: I'll be there. You nutcases.]
[Lily Reihn Sabbah: What do you mean nutcase? I don't have any nuts on me.]
'These nutcases. It's said that Aria's messaging was unconceivable, but I didn't think it'll be to this extent.'
*********
I was squatting two upperclassmen. There were both sitting on a large stick with drinks in their hands.
'I can't get wasted before the party.'
I hardened my resolve, and my determination skyrocketed as a kept squatting.
"Looks like Alex doesn't want to drink. It'd be a shame if some extra weight was added."
He slightly chucked as he jumped onto the stick.
I could feel the weight dramatically increase on my back.
'This bastard.'
"I'll end you. You bastard."
I steeled my resolve once again and didn't let my pace slow down.
I was hanging with a bunch of randoms. I met while walking. There were three upperclassman and two other freshmen.
The one laughing at me was Adrian. Not the blonde one just some random guy I met. Yes, people have the same names sometimes.
"Hah... Hah..."
I was breathing loudly as a slowly threw these idiots off me.
"You better run, Adrian."
"Rape!"
He started screaming as he put his arms up to his chest.
'This damn idiot.'
"You best believe it."
"Wa- wait what."
I grinned as my eyes never left Adrian.
"AHHH!"
He started bolting for it as I chased after him.
I mean I'm an extra so why shouldn't I experience how it's like.
Laughs filled the area as I was catching up with Adrian.
Thud!
I WWE elbowed him into the pavement.
I could feel gazes surrounding me, but the excitement of the moment made it all go away.
"Damn, you're one hell of a Class S student."
"He's right usually those guys stay clear of us common folk."
The ones who came up to me as my elbow was still pushing on Adrian's cheek was Noah and Jeremy.
"What, I'm still a common folk, but I'll tell you one thing. They're 10 times hotter than the rumors say."
"You gotta introduce us!"
"Yeah, I'll gladly introduce you to Eric and Adrian."
"I wish you best of luck, but Maria's tough competition."
Noah gently patted Jeremy's back as he added.
"You dumbasses! I like girls!"
*********
"Why are you so late?"
"Cough! I ran into some folks."
"Hmm?"
Maria questioned me as I slowly walked over. They all wore nice dresses and suits.
I was wearing my iconic white blouse, and Eric was wearing a nice, buttoned shirt.
Even Loki was wearing a suit.
"I thought you were going to come in a dress."
"Like hell!"
A soft smile blossomed on my face as I looked over at these damn Main Characters.
"I'm just an extra. Nobody will even notice me."
I raised up my hands in defense.
"You dumbass. You're walking with us. Of course you'd be noticed."
Maria quickly snapped back at me shattering my defense in two.
"Critical hit!"
Loki cheered her on by the side.
Aria's gaze never left me throughout this whole conversation. I looked over at her simply just staring.
"You owe me a spar."
"Yeah, and you owe me a translator."
"A translator? For what?"
Lily interrupted having a look of cluelessness on their face.
"Let's go. Our esteemed professor is going to freeze up and die of boredom."
I said with a hint of sarcasm that was clearly noticed by everyone.
"Wow are your balls made out of steel?"
"He probably doesn't even have any."
"No, he's a femboy not a girl."
"I'm not a femboy! Miss. Maria maybe you should have come in a mahou shoujo costume."
"Adrian! Didn't you agree to not tell anyone about that."
"Oh?"
Nova looked over at Maria revealing a sinister smile plastered on his face.
"I didn't!"
"Then how?"
"Secret."
I softly said as I put my finger up to my mouth. Tightly closing my right eye.
"What else do you know with that eye?"
Nova seemed interested in my abilities as a curious glint flashed through his eyes.
"I know you had a chunni phase before you attended the academy."
"Ah."
