Surviving As An Extra In Fantasy World Isn't Easy

Chapter 25 25:Provocation[2]



Frederick Frost....

His journey to the academy was laden with thorns and obstacles which tried to bring him down.

Aria Stern, his mother, was a member of Mage Squad under Duke Frost.

Due to her abilities and outstanding results, she rose through the ranks and became one of the close-aids of Duke Frost.

His father, who spends most of his time guarding the border and fighting against the lesser demons, was one day betrayed by two of his trusted subordinates.

While traveling through a valley with his close aid, he was attacked by a group of demons and demon kins.

The battle was proceeding smoothly but the tides turned when he was stabbed in the back by his two aides and then a high-ranking Succubus appeared who seemed to have staged all the events to take him down.

Aria burnt her life force and increased her rank to save Duke Frost and they escaped narrowly; however, Duke Frost was poisoned with a certain type of aphoristic by the Succubus.

Aria, who thought she was going to die, decided to use the remaining time to cure the Duke by giving herself to the Duke.

However, later she survived and became pregnant.

The tale was not hidden from any and many see his mother as whore who seduced the Dume taking the opportunity of Duke's helplessness.

But only he and a few others knew that his mother did not do this willingly.

His mother would have died that day if not for his father sharing some of his life spans with her during. Even though his mother had decided to die, her father managed to change her thoughts and also promised to take her as his second wife later.

This was one of the secret methods that his father had encountered which cannot be leaked and his mother forced him to keep shut due to which the rumors were exaggerated and his father was forced to turn a blind eye to all this.

However, the result led Frederick to suffer the atrocities of the servants and the world.

Both his mother and father spent most of their time in the North leaving him in the Frost estate where he was harassed by servants.

He was depicted as an unruly, inhuman, and insolent boy.

He kept suffering this injustice and his father gave a cold shoulder to all this saying he should be the one who dealt with them cause it was difficult for him to believe Frederick whose image had been brought down by his very own trusted servants.

Even though his mother was always harassed by nobles she kept her mouth shut and just tried to stay far away from noble society.

Moreover, the servants acted as if he was always in the wrong. He was too small to figure out things and always thought that his mother and father were the ones who ordered the servants to harass him.

And he knew his mother was troubled so it was difficult for him to express his grievances and trouble her.

Isolated and surrounded by malice on all sides, he was on the verge of breaking down.

As there was a saying, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Frederick, unable to take in any more, decided to fight back.

Since they made him look unruly, he showed them how an unruly and insolent kid behaves.

He had fought his way against those who looked troubled with him, and in doing so found out the truth. After his father became aware of all this, he kicked all the servants who take peat in the ploy.

Making Frederick a scapegoat, they leech off all the money.

This also made her mother aware of her mistake and she started to pay more attention to him and she was his bottom line so anyone calling him a bastard, son of a whore, or illegitimate child is a direct insult to his mother.

As he walked up the stage reliving the memories of his childhood, he calmed himself.

His eyes were as cold as a block of ice.

Students started to have the illusion of sparks appearing due to the intense gaze shared between Charles and Frederick as they faced each other.

"Filthy low-bloodied bastard, today you will know your place."

"I am waiting for that," Frederick replied coldly, raising his spear.

"Come at me with everything you got. I don't have time to waste on you."

"You...."Charles shouted and lunged forward.

Frederick pushed his left leg forward, pulled back his spear, and shifted his center of mass towards the back.

Waiting for Charles to appear, Frederick thrust his spear.

SWISH!!!!!

A gust of concentrated pressure shot towards Charles who swung his sword to neutralize it but the sheer force of it sent him a few steps back.

The first confrontation ended in Charles's retreat and he had hardly stabilized himself when he saw something hurling toward his face.

TANG!

He raised his sword to defend himself, but the sheer force of the strike caused his knee to bend down.

Charles infuriated, gritted his teeth, and used Earth's ability to lock Fredrick in his place.

But by that time, Frederick had already hopped up in the air and smashed his knees toward Charles.

Charles summoned a rock shield and raised his hands to defend the knee aiming at his face.

BAAM!

Cracks appeared on his shield and the fierce coercion caused him to slide on the soles of his feet for a few meters.

"It's disadvantageous for me to prolong the battle. His earth ability is surely troublesome so I should finish this as quickly as possible."

Concluding his next move, Frederick retracted his spear.

Strong gales emerged from Frederick causing his hair to flutter.

Particles of mana gathered and danced on the tip of his spear.

Frederick's eyes glowed with a deep bluish haze and time started to slow down a bit.

Everyone gasped in shock witnessing the marvelous scene.

Their jaws dropped wide open and some who had mocked Frederick previously had rotten expressions on their faces.

None of them, not a single one of them in their wildest dream had imagined Frederick to possess his family bloodline ability.

If bloodline grade is a luxury car then bloodline ability is the engine of that luxurious vehicle.

Even most of them did not inherit the bloodline ability despite their diamond grade. It was not something one could possess just because you had a diamond bloodline.

And Frederick was able to inherit this when he had the gold-grade bloodline was a slap on their faces, especially those who call him low blood.

Charles's eyes shone with hatred, he wanted to move but he found himself restrained by an unknown pressure making his movements stiff.

Frederick opened his eyes savouring the otherworldly sensation.

Sound of people's heartbeats, the breathing of others and the flow of air, and the muttering of the students around the stages.

Everything started to slow down.

[Time Dilation.]

The bloodline ability he unlocked after his bloodline was upgraded to Platinum by his spear enabled him to slow down time in a certain radius forming a domain where times flow slowly.

What was only an instant felt like an eternity in his eyes.

Stomping his left foot, he raised the spear over his shoulder.

As if throwing a javelin, he whipped his hands and threw the spear coated in mana.

SHING!

With a piercing noise, the spear shot like a bolt.

Charles, who was already in the midst of conjuring a defense wall, frowned as within a blink of an eye, the spear that was in Fredericks's hand had appeared straight before his eyes.

His eyes almost bulged out of his socket and his mouth opened wide.

Charles tried to dodge but as if rooted in the ground, he could not, and a piercing pain threatened his consciousness to break down and assaulted him.

BOOOOOM!

Carried by the spear, his body flew back like a rocket and slammed against the wall near the arena.

Frederick's eyes turned normal and his face became pale as activating his bloodline ability took a great deal of mana.

Just as he staggered on his way while coming down the area, a sweet smell along with a soft touch tickled him.

Knowing the person very well, Frederick spoke with an embarrassed expression.

"Rose...I am good, I can walk."

"You don't look good in any sense," Rose answered in a meek voice.

"I am just helping you as you helped me."

"Huh…. When did I help you."

"By giving me your handkerchief and taking revenge for me" Rose spoke, pursuing her lips feeling flustered.

"Ahh..."Frederick's lips wanted to deny but he was not able.

He wanted to pay back Charles for hurting Rose who was one of the nobles who had not seen him in contempt.

But his heartbeat fastened, feeling so close to Rose.

He wanted to get out but his body did not support his decision.

"This is too much," Lucas muttered in disbelief.

"I mean you are still in class but you two seem to be in your world. Can't you act like a lovey-dovey couple somewhere else?"

One of the students who was beside Lucas hearing his grumbling patted his shoulder and said"It's okay. I understand."

"No, we understand."Another one butted in out of nowhere leaving Lucas in bewilderment.

"Jealousy is a common thing for third-rated extra boys like us."

"It's hard for us to get girls and especially for you, I understand the pain of not being as handsome as others."

"With your dead eyes, it's difficult to woo girls but trust me, your spring will come."

'Damnnnn!'

'Intentionally or unintentionally, this guy just gave me emotional damage.'

"I am not jealous, it's just my eyes hurt seeing them acting out of restraint during the class."Lucas tried to refute puffing his pride, however….

"It's okay we understand."They both gave Lucas a pleasant smile showcasing their white teeth.

"Cause we are the same bro."

'The only thing you understand is shit.'Lucas grumbled and decided to cleanse his eyes with some anime movies of this world.
