Dreambreaker : The extra from 2393-Chapter 47: Change of plans [2]

Author's Note: I will call class A3,A4 and A5 together as 'allied class' since saying A3,A4,A5 all the time sounds stupid.

Adin—Leader of class A3(F+),

Sera—Member of class A3.

Kenta—Leader of class A4(F+)

Arisha—Leader of class A5(F+)

***

Third Person POV(Point of view):—Allied classes.

Vwoosh!—Arrows sliced through the air towards the group of students, their trajectory barely visible amidst the shadows cast by towering trees.

"Evade!" Kenta, bellowed as he gracefully dove to the ground, narrowly avoiding the oncoming attack.

In a swift display of agility, both Adin and Arisha, mirrored Kenta's movements, expertly dodging the lethal projectiles.

Meanwhile, Sera notched an arrow onto her crossbow and swiftly fired in the direction of the ambush, shattering the trap with precision.

"These traps... are not natural."—Kenta muttered in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear. After a short pause he continued ,"I think they have been strategically set up by other classes", Kenta remarked, scrutinizing the fallen arrows with keen interest.

It was evident that these traps were not set during the typical dungeon trials. The allied class meticulously followed the path paved by other classes, encountering traps seemed implausible.

It seemed highly unlikely that the current group would encounter any traps as all the previous classes must have already triggered and disarmed them?

It was undeniable that rival classes had cunningly prepared these lethal obstacles.

"Who could it be?" Adin inquired, his gaze menacingly fixed upon the arrows sprawled on the ground.

"Most likely... class A2", Kenta responded, rising to his feet.

"Those fuckers.... Let's hunt them down and make them pay!", Adin growled.

Third Person POV(Point of view):

-"So, this is the entrance to the dungeon"

-"No wonder we couldn't find it!"

-"Who would have thought that the entrance would lie concealed beneath our very feet.."

Indeed, the entrance was hidden beneath a cluster of rocks, blending seamlessly with the path others trod upon.

In the original novel Aeravat stumbled upon this entrance when a tired student took a momentary rest upon one of the rocks.

"How did you come to know about the dungeon entrance?" Aeravat began to question, but quickly checked himself, shaking his head in realization.

"Right, forget I asked. So, you're venturing on your own now?" Aeravat inquired, his gaze fixed upon Noah's shrinking figure as he began to return back deeper into the dense canopy of the towering jungle of trees.

"Yes,... I will rejoin you later, although I sincerely doubt such a reunion will be necessary", Noah replied, a hint of self-assuredness lacing his words as he continued on his solitary journey.

The rest of the main cast observed Aeravat's perplexing behavior with puzzled expressions.

They were clueless about his conversation with Noah, and equally unaware of how he had stumbled upon the hidden entrance to the dungeon.

Frustratingly enough, they couldn't even ask for an explanation since Aeravat wasn't exactly their 'friend'.

Observing Noah's retreat into the dense jungle canopy, the main cast assumed that Aeravat had assigned him some kind of mission.

After all, they couldn't fathom any other reason for Noah's sudden departure.

In reality Noah had simply informed Aeravat that he possessed a. "propensity" to navigate through jungles and discover hidden locations.

However, that was nothing more than a lie. Noah did not possess any propensity, a fact that Aeravat had yet to uncover.

—"You have a propensity for navigation and finding locations?" Aeravat had questioned when Noah first made his absurd assertion.

Propensity, a term they everyone is familiar with, referred to the special abilities possessed by individuals.

For instance, Aurora's propensity was "voltaic", enabling her to command and control thunder. As for Aeravat, his propensity was "harmony".

Noah, on the other hand lied , pretending to possess a propensity when in reality, he was devoid of any such ability.

Noah's POV:

In my augmented reality vision map I observed around three hundred blue dots approaching from my left, approximately 800 meters away, and another six hundred dots advancing from my right, roughly 700 meters distant.

Six-hundred, an amalgamation of the formidable forces belonging to class A3, A4, and A5.

It seems highly improbable for either class A2 or class A1 to emerge victorious if they were to face them.

To make matters worse, they also boast the highest number of F+ rankers among their ranks, serving as their leaders.

In the original Novel, these three classes clashed with one another, yet curiously, they were themselves collaborating, unlike what happened in the novel.

Perplexingly, the plot seemed to be venturing off its established path, veering away from the confines of the original storyline.

Originally in the novel, Aeravat engaged in combat against the leader of class A2 and emerged triumphant in the dungeon trial.

However, that seems impossible now.

The plot has undergone a significant shift, but what truly matters is the eventual outcome of the story.

It is the victory of class A1 that brought the main characters together as friends.

Despite the potential friction between Takahashi and Aeravat, they are or will become friends.

But ever since I transmigrated into this world, inexplicable events have been unfolding, defying all my expectations.

"Nano scan", I whispered, setting forth towards the location where the other class will collide.

Gradually, a grid of vertical and horizontal lines materialized within my field of vision, initiating a thorough scan of everything within the 100-meter radius of my vicinity.

[Scanning...] Nano's voice resonated in my mind.

As I set off towards my destination, I observed the leaves gracefully dancing with the wind.

Much like these leaves, my destiny seems to be swayed by the ever-changing gusts of fate, uncertain of where it will ultimately settle.

Ever since my transmigration, a series of inexplicable events has happened.

Events...things..which should have not happened.

Was this world meant to experience such events?

Double dungeon, for instance, never existed in the original story.

'And yet'... I glanced at the red bracelet adorning my left arm, 'this do'.

Maybe, the core essence of this world remained unaltered, akin to the novel.

The characters, the Mystries, and even the anticipated events have indeed come to pass, albeit by taking an alternate path from the original narrative.

And deep inside, I have an inkling that somehow my transmigration is the driving force behind this divergent trajectory of the story.

I mean Noah Grey never existed...or maybe he did but was never mentioned in the novel?Or maybe he died long ago before the story started to take place. Idk.

[Scanning complete, only one monster is in the vicinity, 10 meters away, hiding in the tall tree branch], Nano's voice echoed through my mind, though my thoughts were consumed by something else entirely.

"Activate battle mode", I commanded.

Slowly I started feeling the surge of adrenaline course through my veins.

"Kraaa!" Almost as if it was waiting for my command, the colossal Lava chimp leaped towards me.

With a swift maneuver, I narrowly evaded its attack, my body moving with an innate agility.

Simultaneously, a machete materialized in my right hand, seemingly conjured from my dimensional bracelet.

In an instant, a burst of blinding light emanated from both of my eyes, temporarily overwhelming the lava chimp. It was flare, another one of Nano's abilities.

"Krrrieeek!" The lava chimp howled in agony, clasping its eyes in pain.

Seizing the opportunity, I swiftly maneuvered behind its back with a dash.

Suddenly, my vision shifted into a chromatic grey hue, as Nano activated the x-ray vision.

The lava chimp's back became transparent, revealing its spinal cord, akin to a translucent pane of glass. Even its pulsating heart was visible. ~Budup~budup~budup, it's beating visible to me.

Equipped with this newfound insight, the machete swiftly plunged into the laval chimp's spinal cord, bringing a swift end to the formidable creature.

The lava chimp died.

Exhaling a sigh, I contemplated my plan.

"Right,..now I should?... use fentanyl darts and weaken the leaders of allied classes."

When they encounter class A2, everything will be neutralized, or the victor will be severely weak, unable to give any challenge against Aeravat and class A1.
