Extra Pages: The Author's Odyssey

As professors continue to watch students through big projections their eyes settle on one particular student.

Who else is that student? It's Lucas Darkhart.

The recent sensational hero Lucas DarkHart, Despite having [E-] rank, stood up with Isabella and somehow managed to kill Samuel Ascal, the fallen human.

That was the headline media using at the moment, they also said that even with B-rank potential Lucas would become a fine hero in future.

But right now there is not one of those qualities Lucas showing at the moment.

Why is that?

We'll because professors watch Lucas through big projections and right now he was doing something that another student would never dream of.

Lucas opens the goblin's body with his sword and takes out [ E] ranks mana core and not only that his partner Sunny is following his example and doing the same.

"Hey, can you please close the distance between the camera and cadet Lucas so we can hear them?" one of the professors said to another professor.

"Of course sir." He said that and soon the camera was near them and they could hear their talk.

[Lucas bro, do you think it's okay to take Mana core]

Sunny asked Lucas, he was slightly worried because he had never done something like this and let's not talk about doing it in the middle of the exam.

[Of course Sunny. Do you even know the price of the E-Rank mana core? It's 50,000C for each core. With this much goblins mana core, we would be rich.]

[I know that but don't you think Nova Academy you punish us?]

[Sunny, they just tell us to kill as many goblins as we can. They never told us to continue to kill goblins for the next 24 hours. So we can collect these cores, don't you worry.]

[And besides I know that Nova Academy would be not inconsequential...Right?]

Lucas said turning toward the camera. The professor flinched as Lucas's gaze met directly with the camera.

"Hey, can he see the camera?" the professor asked who was in charge of the big projections screen.

"No sir, all the cameras in the dungeon are invisible with magic that was cast by Professor Lillian."

"Right, so it must be coincidence." The professor muttered to himself but why did he feel that Lucas was seeing through them by camera?

Other professors laughed at Lucas's antic behaviour. This was their first time seeing someone who was so carefree during an important exam like this one.

After taking all the mana core from the goblin Lucas turned toward Sunny.

[Let's rest here for a bit.]

[What about the exam?]

[Don't you worry Sunny, everything is controlled.]

"Hahaha, I can't take it anymore. This student is so funny. " this professor is the head of [the Demon Corps Department.]

Professor Lilian who was watching all of this lowered her head in shame, she was feeling so embarrassed by Lucas's behaviour.

'That idiot...'

In the Headmaster's office, Yato was also watching Lucas through the camera. And sitting beside him is Hera, the headmaster of Nova Academy.

"Hahaha, I like that attitude of his. Headmaster Hera, you have a good student in your academy. " Yato said laughed seeing Lucas through the screen

As for Headmaster Hera, she just sighed. She knows that Yato is a carefree man but she is not carefree as Yato.

Hera turns her head toward a different part of the Projection screen and her gaze settles on Adrian.

Despite being the first year his swordsman could easily rival third-year students.

'Should I..?'

"Hahaha."

Hera could not continue her thoughts because Yato again laughed.

"Will you shut up, Yato?"

"Oh, I will but don't you find this scene very funny?" Yato said as pointed at Lucas again. Hera also turns toward Lucas and is shocked at what she finds.

Lucas had taken out one sleeping bag, and two instant noodles, and with the help of Sunny fire magic he was cooking food for himself and Sunny.

It feels like they were on a picnic instead of an exam.

Hera shoulder twitched and soon small smile came to her face.

'he is an idiot.'

That was Hera's thought with a small smile on her face.

***

Sunny who was sitting not so far from Lucas after getting all of the [E-] rank mana looked at him dumbfounded while complaining inwardly,

'What the hell, why does it look like he is here for a picnic? And when did he have the time to prepare all this?'

Finding food was one of the biggest difficulties of this test. However, here Lucas took out instant noodles from his Smart bracelets.

"Sunny do you know any fire magic?" Lucas said to Sunny, Lucas does not know how to use magic since he is not a mage but that does mean that if you are not a mage you can't use magic.

It's just that mages have easy when they use magic and they are far ahead of non-mage.

As long as the person has an affinity toward any element they can use that element's magic.

Sadly Lucas's Affinity is light, a very rare affinity. Even Isabella can use all the basic elements of magic but can't use any light magic at all.

"Well, I can use basic fire magic," Sunny replied to Lucas. Soon there was wide green on Lucas's face.

"Good now come here, and fire tho wood with your fire magic," Lucas said to Sunny. Sunny walked toward where Lucas was sitting and used his fire magic.

Soon in 3 minutes instant noodles are complete. Lucas also offers to Sunny to sleep together.

As Sunny ate the food offered by Lucas he almost felt sorry for the other students that must have been starving right now.

Unlike Lucas and Sunny who slept peacefully, the other students who entered the middle tunnel were not having an easy time at all.

They have been trying to find a water source immediately after they enter the tunnel. But considering they were inside a dane it was almost impossible for them to find any water source.

"I can't go on, I need a clean place to sleep."

"We have no food and water, and the only thing we are seeing is these creepy-looking goblins."

"I am tired of fighting all day."

A few students indeed had something to eat on them, but because the number of students was too high, they didn't dare to bring it out from their storage rings.

In the end, they all give up on finding food and started walking in the middle of the dark tunnel in search of a suitable place to sleep.

But the further they advanced the more the Goblins appeared, making it almost impossible for them to rest.
