The Novel's Extra's POV

Chapter 4: The Cube (1)

For the past three days, I tried earning as much as possible while only training my speed as when using the Kekei Style, speed is the most important factor. My method to earn money was to ask. Yeah, I asked my traveling "mom" for money, and to my surprise, she gave me enough money to cover my food for an entire week. However, I used most of the money on buying a treadmill that would be delivered to my cadet dorm as I only needed food for the three days before entering the cube. My old computer also changed now displaying.

[7:30]

Entering the cube, I had only brought my backpack, containing my now useless old computer, some average school supplies, and my cube cadet uniform, which I was wearing now. Sitting on the ship sailing towards the Cube, I held the Kekei-style martial arts guide in my hand. For now, I couldn't do anything with it as I would need to reach Enlightenment before using it, but simply holding it made me feel cool. Like Kim Hajin, I assumed I would be able to view my status menu once my computer fully synchronized, which would be tomorrow.

"Who's the weird kid hugging that book" a couple of students whispered, watching me from afar.

"Idk, he's weird though"

Ignoring their whispers, I got off the boat and headed to the help station to get a map. The first order of business was to find my class. The Veritas Class. The classroom where the main character, Kim Hajin, as well as the main cast were stationed. The people I hate the most, and the people who ruined my chances of getting into college. I vowed to stay as far away from them as possible. Following the map, I first familiarized myself with the important buildings such as the training hall and cafeteria.

[30 minutes before class starts (8:00)]

I stood outside the Veritas class door, afraid of who was already inside. Actually, I was more afraid of them.

'I swear it's on sight for any of them, there's all goners if I see them. (I would probably die before touching any of them)'

Opening the door, I thankfully saw none of the main characters sitting down, just some extras like me. Finding the most suitable spot was easy. Kim Hajin would be sitting in the left corner of the class, so the next best choice would be the right corner. Putting my backpack down on the seat next to me, so no one would dare sit next to me, I took out my laptop. After using my laptop outside while training, I realized that nobody besides me could see it, so I could use it to cheat on any tests by searching for the answer on it. It might seem weird for teachers as I would appear to be typing on air, but I already came up with an excuse.

"It's a breathing exercise teacher!"

I decided to spend the remaining twenty minutes of class doodling in my notebook. After about ten minutes, a group of three girls walked into the classroom. One with blonde hair and black eyes. Another with black hair and black eyes. The last with green eyes and black hair with-.

'That's the girl who yelled at me and called me ugly'

Clenching my fist, I decided to hold back my anger as I wouldn't want to draw unwanted attention. I put my head down on my desk to avoid her recognizing me and she thankfully sat on the left side of class. For the next ten minutes, I was so engrossed in drawing my Mona Lisa that before I knew it, most of the students, including the main cast, arrived and it was 8:29.

*Ring~ ring*

The bell rang and the teacher entered.

All the students immediately silenced themselves and paid attention except Hajin, who was still asleep.
