RE: The Extra's Dominance-Chapter 26 - Bracelets

(Raven's POV)

After we all finished eating breakfast...

Keara started putting away the dishes we all used.

"I'm so envious of you."

Blake said to me while looking at her.

"Well, you should."

I said with a smile, looking at him.

Who wouldn't be envious, right?

Tok- tok-

Just then, someone knocked at the door.

"I'm going to get it."

Keara said unconsciously again.

I shook my head.

"We're not in a hotel, it may be students again or academy staff."

Keara scratched her cheek and nodded after hearing that. She forgot again.

She looks pretty down.

"Can you just wash the dishes for me?"

I softly said to her.

Keara's face then brightened and she nodded.

"Okay!"

She replied, and after that—she started washing the dishes enthusiastically.

'She really likes to help me even with small things...'

I thought with a smile on my face.

"You guys go to hotels? Why?"

Blake then suddenly asked, breaking my smile.

"..."

Alec and Adelle frowned upon hearing him.

I frowned too.

"It's none of your business."

I answered and left the three of them and went to the door to open it.

And after opening it—a man holding a push cart greeted me, in the cart... There's a small box, just that.

"There's a package for you."

He said to me.

I signed some papers and received the package.

It was goddamn heavy.

"Thank you for bringing it to me."

I politely said with a smile, then handed him 1000 Zeals.

Like the other staff before, he seems pretty flustered by it, but upon saying it's my thanks for bringing the package to me safely... The guy left with the 1000 Zeals, satisfied.

Entering my dorm again...

Adelle, Alec, and Blake are looking at me—or to be exact, the box that I'm holding.

"What's that?"

Blake asked, pointing at my package. Adelle and Alec also look curious.

"It's for my training... Anyway, can you bring this to my bed? I'm going help Keara."

Blake nodded his head and took the package from me.

Then releasing my hand from it—

"Woah! What the?"

He received the its full weight.

"Oh, erm... It's one hundred kilos... Sorry."

I forgot to tell him.

"?!!"

Blake's eyes widened when he heard that.

Alec and Adelle seemed surprised too.

Well, I can't blame them... Suck weight is bearable to lift for ability users, but it will still be quite heavy.

Inside the package are four training bracelets weighing 25 kilos each.

It's their permanent weight. It can't be adjusted.

My bracelets are getting light for me.

But making them heavier using mana is hard for me at the moment as I have small mana capacity. It would be burdensome for my body.

So I bought these equipments instead.

"I told you, I already have my training plans ready."

I casually said and shrugged as they were looking at me with weird gazes.

*****

After talking to each other for a bit—Alec, Blake, and Adelle left.

Keara also left after washing the dishes.

I also left and did my daily training routine.

Then after all that... I went to the classroom and attended my classes.

...

Today was uneventful as well, nothing special happened.

Blake just ran his mouth all the time.

Alec asked some questions about the lessons sometimes.

The three girls are talking to each other.

We can't hear them even after enhancing our hearings as Adelle used a special wind magic that cancel out noises.

Looks like they're having a girls' talk.

Well... I honestly couldn't care less.

But they do join our conversation from time to time.

Then Curtis—who was sitting on the back row with his goons—goes to our seats from time to time.

He keeps asking me for relationship advices.

But whatever I tell him... It left him unsatisfied!

I don't think he likes me very much.

And I'm guessing that's because I'm sitting near Eve.

'Did I really create such a weird character?'

I questioned myself because of Curtis' actions.

*****

[5:30 PM]

All the lessons are finished.

I'm physically exhausted.

Because of the assessment test at the end of the month—we have more freedom, and the classes till the assessments is cut in half.

It is so that we can focus on training.

But some classes are still ongoing... It's up to us whether we attend them or not.

We just need to make sure we pass the tests in those subjects anyway.

'It's going to be easy for me.'

So with that in mind... I went to the library.

...

...

At the entrance of the library—I saw a very unusual group.

It was Alec, Blake, Adelle, Aoi, Eve, and Curtis.

"You're here!"

Blake exclaimed after seeing me.

And following his words—all eyes went toward me.

Eve just glanced at me for a second and went inside the library.

Alec and Adelle waved at me.

Aoi looked at me for a while too, then she followed after Eve.

Curtis glared at me, then went in the library without a word.

"I just want to study in peace..."

I muttered, looking at all of them.

I was cursing Blake in my head at the moment. He's that one that mixed me up with the main characters this early.

*****

[Inside the library]...

We're currently occupying a whole long table in here.

We've been in this place for about 3 hours now.

All students are looking at us curiously.

I didn't know and didn't care before... But it appears that Blake is popular with girls too.

He is rank 1645 in all freshmen, but he's filthy rich, apparently.

Curtis is not reading any books and just looks at Eve.

Talk about creepy.

Blake is trying to study but fails to focus every goddamn time.

Adelle and Alec are seriously studying.

Eve and Aoi are chill, they're the smartest students of all freshmen after all.

I'm just flipping the pages of the books at a rather fast pace.

The system records the contents of the books and my trait is explaining them to me.

Although doing this hurts my head and drains my mana rapidly.

Nobody questions my reading style, which is good.

Anyway, because of our unusual group—there are a lot of students that tried to approach us.

Who wouldn't?

We have the most handsome and beautiful students in our group.

And they're also the strongest in all freshmen.

I think Blake is okay to be here.

But I'm kinda feeling awkward because of my rank and I'm not really that handsome... Yet...

'Damn charm monsters.'

I thought with a frown and just continued flipping through the book in my hand.

'I don't really notice any students looking at me negatively but I'm sure there are some.'

Then just as I thought of that... I saw some boys glaring at me.

'Look at those boys looking at me with death glares.'

Anyways, I'm just going to ignore them.

(Unbeknownst to Raven, he's also popular with girls, that's why the boys hate him. He became a hot topic because of the incident yesterday with Ruby and Keara in their classroom. In fact, some professors also hate him... He just really didn't know.)

"Fuck."

I weakly muttered as my whole body ached.

I'm physically exhausted because of my morning training.

The sudden weights I added to my wrists and ankles earlier caused my whole body to hurt.

Just flipping the pages of the book is already hard for me. And I'm doing it continuously, fast, nonstop.

And unable to hold it anymore... my arms that are in the air holding a book lost strength.

BOOM-!

Then a loud sound was created as they fell on the table!

The table that is made from some sort of metal shook and a small crack appeared on it!

The training bracelets on each of my arms weighed a total of 50 kilos.

So my arms simply falling on the table created a weak force.

Luckily though... Adelle is using the magic she used earlier when her, Aoi, and Eve are having private conversation among themselves in the classroom.

It's a wind magic that makes noises and voices not leak outside the area of the spell. We can hear the students outside the range of it, but they can't hear us.

I can't cast this kind of magic because it's a 4th-tier wind magic.

The magic is surrounding the whole table that we're in, so no one heard the loud sound... Except us who are inside of it.

Alec, Blake, Aoi, and Adelle got surprised by the sound and looked at me with wide-open eyes.

Eve frowned at me. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Curtis was looking at me with a questioning face.

"What happened?"

Alec asked.

"Sorry, my arms can't hold the weights any longer."

I bashfully said.

"Oh, is that so."

He mumbled, looking at me with worried eyes.

Blake did the same.

Adelle seems a bit concerned too. And seeing her like that—Eve and Aoi frowned and looked at me like I did something wrong.

"Haaasa... What a weakling."

Curtis said and tried to lift both of my arms with one hand.

"Hm?"

But my arms barely moved.

Even for Curtis and Alec, raising 100 kilograms with one hand is hard with their current strength.

Confusion can be seen on Curtis' face.

And at what happened... Alec, Aoi, and Adelle got surprised.

Eve also showed a bit of interest.

Blake is just as clueless as before about what's happening.

"What the hell?"

Curtis lifted my arms with both of his hands.

"You're moving with these all this time?"

He said with amusement and shock in his voice.

(Raven has a total of 8 training bracelets on, 2 on each of his limbs, and each of them weighs 25 kilos.)
