Game's Extra: Starting With SSS-Ranked 1000-Death Talent-Chapter 49: Against Humans

His words stunned the crowd.

Arthur was already down. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The already accumulated wounds were not only painful, but they also put him into a half-dead state.

Yet the transfer student wanted to add more injuries.

It was the situation when he usually had to fight back against the bullies.

Rika jumped in front of him.

"What are you guys doing?" she yelled at the couple and glared at Noa.

The same thing happened in the game when she appeared like a knight in shining armor, saving Arthur from getting his ass beaten any further.

"Shut up, bitch. Don’t butt in. Go away before I ask you nicely," Amelia flipped.

She was already in a foul mood.

Rika was arguably prettier and more popular among their classmates, even though she was stronger.

Her inferiority complex showed itself, and she hit Arthur once more.

The bullies ignored Noa.

They still had some anger bottled up, but Noa wanted to set his plan in motion.

"Wow," he said, clapping. "Did these two losers really ignore me?"

Before his words were followed by a huge commotion, and before the couple got the chance to answer his provocation, Noa punched ruthlessly.

He preferred getting physical instead of playing with his moral high ground.

Why would he hold himself back when, in Velrox, power towered above everything?

Strength was the ultimate answer to any question.

And he had the privilege of being the strongest one in the room.

So he used his fist, hitting Amelia in the abdomen and detonating mana on her body.

The girl flew like a butterfly but dropped to the floor like a wingless bird.

Thud-!

She crashed into the gym equipment, destroying some in the process.

A pained groan escaped her mouth, her head too dizzy to stand up.

’I hope I won’t have to pay for the damages,’ Noa pleaded.

Onlookers shuddered upon seeing his relentless and decisive actions, vowing not to cross him, no matter what.

Some daring or angered exceptions existed.

Tomas, the baffled and furious boyfriend of the almost knocked-out girl, was such an example.

"How dare you!" he yelled, his blond hair turning ash and his eyes glowing.

Noa, as always, hated the boring, unnecessary plot points and wanted to start the second event as soon as possible.

Without holding himself back, he didn’t allow Tomas to end his transformation.

The boy could shapeshift his body into the monster he had linked with.

These kinds of talents were rare, yet nothing out of the ordinary that Noa hadn’t expected.

He knew more about these characters than they knew about him.

Though his interactions with them were still too short and filled with sparks of his cocky attitude, he knew who to befriend.

Noa also had the list of people he had to mess with.

Some of whom he would kill one day, and his current opponent was undoubtedly part of this hit list.

With his explosive speed, Noa arrived before Tomas.

Neither of them had weapons.

Noa didn’t need his sword.

The most primitive weapon was his own body, especially when he could still use Klaus’s skill.

So it happened...

His hands cut through the glowing particles that covered Tomas’s half-transformed figure.

The force was enough to generate a shockwave even before the impact.

And when his fist connected with the bully’s face, another explosion was released, deafening everyone in his close vicinity.

’Maxed out Intelligence stat is Goated,’ Noa mused, watching the outcome.

Tomas lay next to his lover.

Both of them looked like roasted chickens, twitching in pain.

Only one person occupied Noa’s vision.

He was glancing at Arthur, who had a hard time standing, his broken legs too uncomfortable for him to stand.

Rika assisted him.

Their contact started, setting a smile on Noa’s face.

’Cuties,’ he mocked them to himself.

He seemed amused, cleaning his bloody hands on his clothes.

This was only the first part of his vengeance, and just beating the couple to a pulp couldn’t quench his thirst for revenge.

But outright killing them would stir some trouble.

He might get expelled for it, which wasn’t even worth the trouble.

However, Noa wasn’t a forgiving person.

The taste of blood didn’t leave his knuckles, and he strived for more.

Watching Arthur nearing him, Noa was doing two jobs simultaneously, his breath hastening in anticipation.

Yet he knew the long-awaited conversation wouldn’t happen.

Based on Arthur’s expression, Noa understood the boy had the same idea as well, predicting the incoming attack on the academy.

’It’s not altered, right?’ Noa thought because of the delay.

Just as he was about to lower his guard, the windows shattered in unison.

Cries echoed, drowning the room in numbness.

Then the light went out, and all sounds vanished, swallowing the world whole.

’There they are,’ Noa thought.

He tried to act confused, as if everything that happened stunned him as much as it did others, and seeing how Arthur tried to do the same, albeit with less success, curled his lips into a smile.

But the situation was anything but funny.

The promising students were targeted—an act orchestrated by none other than the government.

If Noa tried to dwell upon the root of their actions, he would struggle to find one concrete answer.

Yet he was confident of one thing.

The association was his enemy, and he had to take some measures against its officials.

Now, they struck from the shadows, aiming to blame their actions on the Red Order.

’Not on my watch,’ Noa roared internally.

His current number one priority was to protect five people out of the hundred before him.

So he concentrated, watching the shadows.

Thankfully, his heightened senses could peer through the shrouded darkness, giving him a glimpse of the opponents.

Instead of wasting time on talking to them, Noa got into a fighting stance.

He waited to see when or whom they would attack and noticed that Arthur was doing the same thing.

Then they came, hunting for helpless Embers.

Noa detected how the shadow rippled behind Ezra.

Realizing that if he didn’t make a move, the boy would die in a moment, he shot forward like a bullet.

It was an excuse to fight against humans.
