Extra Pages: The Author's Odyssey

The next day early morning,

Lucas was still sleeping when suddenly someone knocked on the door.

Suddenly the knocking stopped and what replaced them was Evelyn's loud voice, waking Lucas from his sleep.

Lucas groaned and looked at the bright light coming from the window. He wanted to sleep more but still, he knew that ignoring Evelyn would be a big mistake.

So Lucas got from his bed and staggered toward the door.

He was still drowsy when he opened the door, but his sleep went away when Evelyn suddenly kicked the door and barged inside the room.

"You are still sleeping? Did you forget we have to check our results today? Hurry up and change your clothes so we can go together."

Evelyn glanced at Lucas from head to toe.

"why do we have to go together?" Lucas asked Evelyn, he was still sleepy so he didn't notice his reaction to Evelyn.

Evelyn's face flushed when she heard Lucas's questions.

"Don't ask stupid questions and get ready. Evelyn said as she avoided Lucas's question.

Lucas looked at Evelyn, he was still processing what was happening the suddenly Evelyn pushed him toward the bathroom with his clothes.

"Hurry up."

Lucas nodded with a rather sleepy expression while walking toward the bathroom to freshen up.

In Ten minutes Lucas And Evelyn could be seen walking together towards Lift. As they entered Lucas asked Evelyn a question from before.

"Why do we have to go together, I could check letter my result."

This time Evelyn was paper for an answer.

"Our apartments are side by side, So I thought I should wake you up for today, that's all."

"Okay, I get that but that doesn't answer-"

"Ahh, just shut up will you?"

Evelyn said with frustration in her voice. Lucas just shut up after that.

-Ding!

A Lift door opens as Lucas and Evelyn start to walk toward Main Hall, where the results of the unit test will be posted.

Soon they arrived in front of a Main Hall where students were continuously going in and coming out. The moment they entered they were greeted by a huge crowd.

All the first-year students seem to be looking at the big board present at the centre of the Hall.

"There are many students," Evelyn muttered to herself and Lucas nodded at her.

"Must be because results are out." He said to Evelyn and took a step forward, followed by Evelyn.

"Hey, Evelyn."

I know that voice. I don't want to meet him or any other at the moment but I know my fate is sealed on the stone.

Evelyn turned her head back and saw the person who just called.

"Oh, Hey Adrian," Evelyn said with a smile.

I turned toward Adrian's direction and saw that he was not walking alone.

On his right was Emma and on his left was Isabella, slightly behind Isabella was Lyra.

He is indeed Harem's protagonist, I was jealous of him for a moment.

What? Can you blame me?

Here I, this poor soul don't have anyone and this bastard walking with Three Beauty at once.

Does he have no shame at all? I can bet that I was not the only one who felt jealous, as soon as they walked in nearly entire male students must felt a pang of envoy.

"So you two are going to see the results," Adrian asked as he and others reached us.

"Yeah, we are," Evelyn replied shortly to Adrian.

"Lucas you better not fail the written test," Isabella said to me. A smirk came to my face as she finished that.

'Ah this, poor soul.'

"I can easily bet that I would beat you in the writing test."

"Haa, Look at you, you are talking all and high but I know that when results come you will be crying."

"You're quite confident, aren't you? Then let's make a bet."

Isabella raised one of their eyebrows at me and looked at me like she saw a donkey. But soon enough that will change.

"And what this bet will be about?"

'She fell for it.' I thought as I was barely able to stop myself from laughing.

"If I have a better score than you in the written exam you will give me a Grade 3 defence sword art."

Everyone was surprised when I finished what I said.

"Lucas what the hell are you trying to do." Evelyn angrily whispered in my ear. I slightly found myself blushing at the sudden close contact but somehow I was able to hide it.

well, she has a reason for being angry. A normal Grade 3 art came to around 100 million C to 300 million C and its price can increase depending on what type of art you want.

But it will be pocket change for Isabella, her clan has an uncountable amount of money.

"Just wait for a moment," I said to Evelyn and returned my attention to Isabella.

"And what will you do if you lose the bet?" Isabella asked me.

"I will do anything you said."

"When you said anything means 'ANYTHING' right?" Isabella asked me as she empathised with anything word.

I just silently nodded my head.

"This is interesting, I accept your bet now let's go," Isabella said as she walked past. I also started to follow behind her.

Watching Lucas and Isabella walking away Lyra said something to others,

"Don't you think Isabella changed somehow?"

"I don't know, I didn't notice at all."

"You are dumb Adrian."

"Me aur dumb" Adrian asked Lyra as he pointed to himself.

Instead of answering him, Lyra turned to Emma and Evelyn.

"I don't know how to say this but Whenever Isabella is with us she has a hard time expressing what she feels"

Lyra stopped and saw both reactions and she found nothing at all.

"But whenever she is with Lucas he somehow manages to let Isabella express her feelings more clearly."

"As much as I hate to admit you are right Lyra," Emma commented.

Lyra turned toward Evelyn and whispered,

"You should watch out for Isabella."

Evelyn doesn't like that sound at all.
