Dawn Of Legend:Rise Of An Extra

100...101....103....134....150

"Haaaa!"

Loosening the grip of the wall mount bar, Lucas's feet touched the ground.

Due to his vision being murky, he lay flatly on the ground staring at the ceiling with a blank expression.

150 pushups.

150 pull-ups.

150 squats.

10-minute planks.

Bicep curl, bench press, pilates, and cardio.

This was his daily routine. It was an intense exercise that challenged the limits of normal humans and all the sets were done without a break because mana started to fill up between the gaps of the workout.

This was sheer torture after which Lucas's body would become paralyzed for a certain interval.

If you have the money you can use potions however since he had none, he soaks himself in a mana hot spring. It was a place of luxury which was mostly used by nobles.

The water imbued with mana improves mana circulation and washes away the pain and exhaustion which is quite effective. With 10 points you can soak yourselves for an hour.

Lucas spends about 20-30 minutes there every morning before the classes. He had ample points after exhausting which, he would get more.

....

Combat Class...

Harris stood in the center of an arena folding his hands behind his back. Walking to and fro, he spoke with a heavy expression speaking each word slowly.

"It had been a week since you arrived here in the Horizon. You are now pretty much used to the new schedule here."

"We allow you to stabilize the first few weeks so that you can prepare yourself

The schedule will be a bit easygoing for now."

Hearing this, many almost cursed out.

If classes from 9 AM to 5 PM after which training class is done for three more hours are not considered harsh then they don't know what the true definition of harsh was.

"Today, we are going to have a sparring session. Not all of you might get a chance today. So, those who are going to sit back don't slack off, observe each fight because who knows when they will turn out to be your enemy."

"Every winner will be rewarded with points. The greater the disparity between you and your enemy, the greater the point you will be awarded."Harris explained the rules of the battle slowly.

Going out of the ring was a loss.

The battle will continue until one party accepts his or her defeat or blacks out.

One of the students raised his hand and asked if they were going to face a higher realm and if the higher realm power would be put under restriction.

"We are not here for wish fulfillment. You should know the difference between you and your enemies." Harris replied sharply.

"Or are you naive enough to reason with the enemy to have mercy if he turns out to be in a higher realm than you?"Harris answered coldly, causing the student to shrink back.

"We will take out two parchments. The names that would appear here would engage in the fight."

"And fear not, if you end up badly injured. You will be taken to the infirmary by your 2nd-year senior who will do the volunteer work in exchange for 1 point from you."

'..' Lucas wiped off his sweat. His palm was itching since morning and he was having a bad premonition.

According to astrology, if your palm itches, that means you are going to be beaten.

He never believed in those stupid things in his previous life....

However, this was a different world and he did not know whether this was going to become true or not.

"Please draw our first contestant,'' Harris muttered, stepping aside.

A second-year student stepped up and drew two parchments from the lot and spoke.

"Axel Steel."

"David Art."

"Ohhh!"

The crowd cheered with excitement as if they were going to witness some kind of street fight.

Lucas rubbed his chin trying to recall the contents.

There was going to be a showdown between Frederick and Charles today.

Lucas looked at Charles who was with his lackeys while Frederick was standing alone at the front emitting cold lone wolf vibes.

'I think my memory has worsened a lot. It was only now that I remember. In a way, today was the real beginning of the story in earnest.'

Lucas muttered inwardly with a frown.

"I had read Volume 1 a year ago and had forgotten about the subtle underlying details. I only remembered the core plot. I should write down the contents I remember, otherwise, I might forget something important later.''

The first battle would end up with Axel's victory and later the fights were not mentioned and the scene was skipped to Charles and Rose's fight.

"I know I am unlucky but I don't think I would be that unlucky to get my name drawn out of 100 students."

There would be only 10 matches.

Lucas shook his head after assuring his wildly beating heart.

Axel and David both walked into the arena.

Axel maintained a neutral expression whereas there was a smirk in David's expression.

"I heard you cultivate your body to the point that it becomes as strong as steel with which you smash your opponent."

"Arts are also known for their overbearing swordsmanship which destroys their opponents thoroughly."

"Today I will prove the might of Art Swordsmanship by breaking your body."

David mocked and dragged the greatsword behind him.

"We will see," Axel spoke indifferently.

The students already started the guessing game of selecting their side.

"This trash talk is quite annoying but at the least, it will waste time and fewer people will fight," Lucas spoke while cheering for David to carry on his trash talk.

'Even though you are going to lose, I applaud your sincere effort. I will remember your sacrifice mate.'Lucas gave David a gentle salute as he saw the whistle to begin the fight ring.

Axel bent his body forward letting his arms dangle loose, and then he pulled his arms closer to his body taking a boxer stance.

His center of gravity seems to shift forward and he looked quite relaxed.

"Hohoooo!"

"Did you give up even before the fight started?"

"You are full of openings.''David gave a sinister smile and lifted his greatsword over his shoulder and dashed forward.

Everyone's eyes focused on them waiting for the first impact.

David yanked his sword and raised it horizontally, going forward for an overbearing slash.

However as he reached Axel, his smile disappeared as before he could draw his sword down, his vision became dark.

For a moment, he wondered if someone switched off the light.

However, this thought lingered for a only millisecond as he finally found an answer and a shadow fell over his face.

A gauntlet of steel with a speed invisible to his eye struck his face.

BAAAAAM!

With a loud blast, Axel's fist smashed against David's face which deformed for a moment followed by a cacophony of crackling sounds.

David's face shot back with incredible force while the momentum of his lower body was still moving forward. This caused his body to whirl in the air.

BANG!BANG!BANG!

Spinning in the air, his face smashed on the floor, then his body smashed into the floor. His body toppled and it bounced off repeating the previous notions three times.

Rotating and hitting the floor three times, his body rolled out of the arena leaving behind a trail and a puddle of blood.

"Ahhh!!"Lucas closed his agape mouth as he saw the brutal scene of a few teeth being thrown out and falling on the arena as David was thrown out.

"Axel Steel Wins and is rewarded with 10 points."The referee was the assistant teacher under Harris.

He then stepped forward and snapped his finger. A gust swept over the arena cleaning the blood and dust.

A second-year student examined David and answered"His jaw and a few bones on his face are broken."

"His right arm is dislocated and a part of his head is swollen."

Harris nodded and asked the second year to carry David to the infirmary with an indifferent expression as if this was a common thing.

It might be common for them but seeing everyone's nonchalant expression, Lucas's heart almost jumped out of his mouth.

"It was just one punch."

"One punch and his opponent who was at the 2-Star stage was decimated. I mean I know he was great and had good character development. Still, this is too much."

"If I was in place of David, I would surely die."

"Damn, this is too much."

If Axel, a mere side character had this type of strength then thinking about Frederick, Charles, and other characters who are considered real monsters gave him goosebumps.

Lucas, who was trying to adjust his mentality, suddenly got another shock.

"Next match."

"Lucas Bright Vs Helen Samar."

Lucas's eyes widened as he heard Helen Samar's name who was in the early 2-Star realm. Moreover, she is a side character similar to Axel and is the friend of the female lead Rose.

"Shit...I am gonna die today."Lucas cursed trying to contain the tears that were oozing out from his eyes.

'Before dying, I should leave some kind will to my new parents and should also write about my experience after transmigration for my fellow anime otaku brothers and novel readers to guide them if they ever find out about me.'
