The Extra's Survival

In the control room.

An instructor followed by a few guards alongside, came inside quickly only to find people lying unconscious with all the controls bring broken.

Glancing at the destruction they couldn't help but frown.

Scanning the room, the instructor's face turned solemn. The place looked like a huge fight has taken place.

Waving his hands, he signalled one of them to check the controls and others to look at the condition of the person lying there.

"Don't let down your guard. We don't know if someone is hiding to attack from the back or they have set a trap."

Following behind they took out the weapons just to make surveying the room in case of any traps or bombs.

"Sir the controls are already destroyed. What do we do sir? We can't shut the puppets now manually"

"Ughhh".

" Aghhh".

The people laid on the floor groaned in pain as the guards tried to wake them up.

"Broken hands and other bruises except that they are safe".One of the guards spoke after examining his condition.

"First wake them up. See if they are alright"

Starting at the injured people on the floor, one of the guards pointed their uniform and said"They must be a technical team here but can't find the guards protecting this area. I can't find anyone of them here".

"Me neither.".

" Not here".

"There is not a single guard here except these people".

"Those bastards must have colluded with the attackers to target us." The instructor said angrily slamming his fist against the walls.

"Damn it." He cursed.

.....

Lucas looking at the watch ran towards the boy's toilet on the second floor in the second-year student's block.

With no second year around, I found it easy to infiltrate.

I tried to sneak in as quietly as possible to make sure no one sees him in his wag.

Although I was running fast, I was making sure to hide my tracks from the cameras along the way.

The person can hack the control mechanism of puppets, so who knows he may have already hacked the security camera.

Navigating my way looking at my watch, I was about to turn the corner, but a projectile flew towards me. Sensing the danger I took cover behind the walls.

I took a peek hiding behind and found 7 2-Star puppets that were guarding the corridor path towards the staircase that leads to the upper floor.

Just as I moved again they fired the shot.

" This is gonna troublesome. I wish it was just 1-Star."

Swallowing my saliva, taking a deep breath I activated flash steps.

I jumped onto the wall at the other side using my momentum, I walked on the wall horizontally dodging the shots and throwing the fireball towards the puppet.

A huge flame engulfed the puppets that were on the front-firing the hand cannon loaded with arrows.

Boom.

The fireball exploded on the puppets that were at the front and they were blasted on the puppets behind them.

Taking the opportunity, I steadily moved forward through the burning fire.

With a swish, I moved behind one of the puppets. The time seemed to abruptly stop at this moment.

Placing my hand on the sword handle and unsheathing the sword, I slashed on it, the familiar sound of metal crashing resounded across the hallway.

Clank...Thud

A small thud accompanied by a metal clanking sound as the puppet fell on the ground.

The other puppets wouldn't just stand still and ganged on me to attack, swinging the weapons on me.

"The puppets must be used in the second year test as each one of them carrying the weapons"

Taking my stance, I swung my sword in the arc parrying their attack.

Clancy.Tang.

Staring at the incoming spear, I rotated my body and holding the spear, pulled it towards me and slashed my swords.

Swish.

An arrow brushed past my cheek giving a small cut which I avoided narrowly.

"I have to take out the long-range ones first".

Deflecting the arrows shot towards me, I rushed towards the puppet holding the cannon.

Deflecting with a sword in the left hand. I punched it with my left hand knocking it down and doing a backflip I landed my legs on the puppet's hand and punched it on the head.

" You."

"Damn it hurts". I used more strength than required and due to it being made of hard metal, it hurts like hell.

'It's a relief nothing was broken.'

Giving me no time to catch my breath, as they attacked me from all sides, there were multiple sharp objects fired at me cutting through the wind were aimed at me.

More puppets were on their way towards me.

Bending down and dodging the attacks, I raised my hands and used telekinesis to stop all the shots fired towards me.

'Finally, I can use it somewhere.'

"I don't want to use it but guess I have no other choice". I surveyed my surroundings to see if there were any cameras or anyone near me.

Confirming no one was around I used all my tricks to get over this quickly.

Bamm.

Controlling all the arrows and sharp objects thrown towards me, I used their weapons against them.

As the objects were lightweight it became easy for me to lift them using telekinesis.

Although it was still difficult for me to do complex movements, I can still fire the arrows using telekinesis in a straight line.

I used the metal and swords the puppets had dropped and fired at them.

Tang.Tang...Tang...Tang.

The weapons hit them like bullets from a machine gun one after one.

Taking advantage of the opening I created, I rotated by the body giving a kick on its face. As soon as the kick connected a small shockwave swept through the area.

Bang.

It crashed with the other puppets beside it and both of them were knocked out.

Raising my leg, I used kicks to get rid of them instead of using my fist and sword.

The metal was too hard and was making my sword dull so I decided to stop using it and save it for the person to kill.

After getting rid of more puppets. I turned around to look, but no more puppets were coming.

" Haaaa".

A long sigh escaped from my lips, as my breathing became heavy.

Keeping myself calm, I moved forward.

As moved forward, I sensed danger so, I quickly moved back and dodged an incoming attack.

A man with a sword appeared before him who seems to be 3-Star.

"Shit. I forgot about him as there was no location of him on the GPS".

The man didn't speak and just signalled his sword at me. His face looked like, he was mocking me seeing my low rank.

Gripping my sword tightly. Closing my eyes I told myself I can do it. After going through all the trouble I can survive it.

It's not a question of whether I can win or can't.

I have to win without any choice.

As Lucas opened his eyes, the man could see there was a resolute determination to defeat him in those eyes which were wavering to fight him before.

"Hush" Taking deep releasing all my aura I met him head-on.

...

In training grounds.

Fredrick was sweeping the area with his spear. With no one to hold him back, as the strong ones were currently engaged in fighting the instructors and teachers, Fredrick's three-team squad defeated the puppets easily.

"Everybody seems to be fine for now."

He turned around to observe the situation. There seem to be no casualties except some with a few bruises and injuries lying there.

The sound of blasting was still echoing.

" The area seems clear let's move on to the next".

After clearing the training field he ran through the corridors bashing the puppets.

Ring.Ring...

Fredrick looked at his watch. Miss Ami was calling him.

"Fredrick, I am sending you the location of the person who has is using the puppets. Lucas is already there. Third-year are hands full now. You have to take it from here."Miss Ami spoke.

"After finishing the loose ends here , I will try to provide the support."

" Ok, Miss Ami. I am on it."

Cutting the call Miss Ami focus on the two people in front of her.

"When Lucas and Skies contacted her, though she hadn't fully believed, she decided to take precautions as prevention is always better than cure".

" But not all agreed with her".

Sigh.

Currently, she was engaging with two 7 Star warriors.

She didn't think she will make it on time so she decided to give this chance to Fredrick.

The situation is too much for Lucas to handle.

Biting lips she can only pray that they may be able to get out of this situation quickly without losing much and with no deaths.

After all, the reputation of the horizon would already be ruined if they were not able to handle the situation properly.

"Listen I have to go. I have some urgent things to do" Fredrick said with a stern look on his face.

"Where are you going. I will go with you" Parth pulled Fredrick to the side.

"No you all stay behind. Okay I am leaving".

" Fredrick" Just as he was about to leave Rose called him.

Rose looking straight at Fredrick's eyes spoke with concern "Be careful. Don't do something rash".

Nodding his head Fredrick left.

Seeing Fredrick back leaving, she bite her lips thinking, if she was strong she wouldn't have left him alone to face the situation. But she knows, she will only be baggage if she goes with him.

"He is doing things he is supposed to do while we have things on our end to do. Let's not let him down. We have a fair share of work to do" Parth spoke seeing Rose's depressing look.

"Hmm"..Nodding her head Rose picked up her bow assisting Parth.
