Not-So an Extra

"ROOAARRR!!"

With a loud cry, an Orc shot at him, causing the boy to smile even wider.

As they levitated in the air, a magic circle formed between them, shooting out a block of earth that slammed into the orc's body.

—Whack! —Boom!

The floor shook with a deafening boom the moment the orc's enormous body slammed onto the ground, spreading debris and dust into the air.

Glancing sideways, Adrian caught sight of another orc, its mace poised for attack.

As the distance between them closed, Adrian dispelled the earthen plate and swiftly dropped down, allowing the massive orc to pass overhead and collide with the arena barrier.

—Bang!

Sensing something hurtling in his direction, Adrian bent his waist to the side, narrowly avoiding a mace as it whizzed past him.

—Thump! —Thump! —Thump! 

When the ground trembled beneath him, Adrian's eyes darted to the left, where he saw another orc charging towards him with a fierce determination. 

The creature leaped into the air with its fist raised high, ready to strike. 

Without a moment's hesitation, the white-haired boy sprang backward.

—Boom!

Adrian's previous footing burst, dispersing debris and dirt flying into the area.

In the chaos, the orc hopped out from the clouds of dust and flew towards him with a fierce roar.

"Rooaarrr!!"

Without missing a beat, Adrian hastily jumped to evade.

—Boom!

Barely had Adrian landed, a shadow loomed over him, forcing him to glance sideways, only to see another Orc swing its mace at him.

—Bang!

With a loud thud, the giant club slammed against Adrian's newly summoned barrier.

—Thump!

The ground shook as the Orc that had been chasing him landed in front of his shield. 

The Orcs then began to relentlessly pound and strike his shield, creating deafening cacophonies.

—Bang! —Bang! —Bang!

Trapped with no escape inside his shield, Adrian summoned an earth block beneath his feet to propel him into the air.

Soaring above the orcs, he quickly conjured another earth tower behind them, leaping over it with ease and summoning another in its place.

"Rooaarr!!"

The orcs roared in fury as the youth ran away, their massive frames pounding the ground in pursuit.

—Thump! —Thump! —Thump! 

Upon feeling his foothold tremble and the heavy footsteps grow closer, Adrian hastily chanted inwardly.

Soon, two white Magic Circles materialized in the air and fired out numerous bolts of lightning.

However, the orcs deftly darted left and right, evading the bolts.

The moment the gap between them narrowed, the Orc swung its huge fist toward the pillar with all of its might.

—Whack!

Immediately, the sound of bones crunching filled the air, followed by the Orc's cries of agony.

"Rooooaarr!!"

Clutching its shoulder, the orc staggered backward with its arm hanging limply by its side, barely attached to its body. 

Its fingers had been crushed into pieces from striking the unyielding pillar with too much force.

Thick greenish blood dripped from the shredded flesh where its muscles had torn. 

"Rooaarrr!!"

As the Orc wailed, Adrian seized the opportunity and cast a spell. 

Sensing something coming, the Orc glanced sideways, but it was too late.

—Stab!

The Orc's green blood sprayed into the air as an earth palisade pierced through its throat.

"Unff!"

Clutching its throat, the Orc wobbled backward.

The beast expelled a gush of blood from its mouth before collapsing to the ground with a loud thud.

—Thud!

Witnessing its dear friend lying motionless on the floor with blood oozing from its wounds, the last Orc let out a deafening roar of anguish.

"Roooaarrr!!"

"Ah, you poor thing."

The Orc glanced to the voice and caught sight of a white-haired boy standing atop an earth pillar. 

The boy had a mocking grin planted on his face.

Upon seeing it, the Orc's blood boiled with fury and let out a deafening roar.

"Roooaarrr!!"

Fueled by its rage and sorrow, the Orc began to chase Adrian once again.

—Thump —Thump —Thump 

The ground shook with each thunderous step as it charged toward him, its eyes blazing with fury. 

Wasting no time, Adrian summoned another earth pillar, leaping forward with a chuckle.

As the distance between the two closed in, the Orc sprang up the pillar, its massive body propelled by powerful legs.

—Thud!

Adrian stumbled but quickly regained his balance and glanced downwards.

There, he saw the Orc scaling the pillar he had just stepped on with lightning speed. 

Despite this, Adrian's grin widened as he saw an opportunity. 

He swiftly conjured a white magic circle in the air, unleashing a barrage of lightning bolts toward the Orc. 

However, a moment before the bolts were about to strike, the Orc leaped sideways onto another pillar, causing the bolts to hit the empty floor.

—Boom! —Boom! —Boom!

The explosions scattered debris and dust flying in all directions.

"Tsk."

Clucked his tongue in annoyance, Adrian sent another batch of lightning bolts toward the Orc.

And as he had expected, the Orc quickly leaped sideways toward the earth pillar to avoid his attack.

However, this time was different. 

Just as the Orc was about to collide with the tower, Adrian dismissed the pillar, causing the Orc to lose its balance and fall.

As the Orc hovered in the air, a golden magic circle formed on the floor, emerging numerous sharp earth spikes.

The Orc's eyes widened in honor, realizing that it was too late to dodge, and everything went black.

—Splat!

A burst of green blood shot into the air like a firework the moment the Orc's body landed on the jagged earth spikes.

The thick liquid pooled across the floor, drenching and soaking everything in its wake.

Adrian gazed down at the scene below with a face devoid of any expression.

'What a hassle.'

—Ring! 

When a ringing sound filled the air, Adrian shifted his gaze toward the source.

Soon, a female voice was heard.

"Congratulations on passing the midterm practical test, student SC-01.01!"

Upon hearing that, Adrian raised an eyebrow and stared at the screen floating in the air.

[19:56:04 — 51 kills ]

There were still 20 minutes left, yet the test had already ended?

But, whatever, if the judges said the test was over, so be it.

Shrugging indifferently, Adrian dismissed the pillar and landed perfectly on the ground.

Shortly after, the translucent barriers slid down, and the giant door behind Adrian swung open.

Turning his back, Adrian walked toward the entrance.

With that, his practical midterm test was over.

Watching as the boy left the hall, Serena couldn't help but feel a chill run down her back.

'Despite their youth, both the Imperial Princes are already formidable beings.'

Putting her thoughts aside, Serena ordered the man next to her.

"Call the next student."
