Extra's Hatred System

Chapter 44: Upcoming Disaster

A week had passed since Daemon saved her from those bullies and I could notice that the blonde was hanging out more and more with the transfer student, at first it was only during class but now we could see them hangout together in the hallways.

I was currently sitting in the cafeteria eating lunch with Mina and Sarah, the two of them were talking about their day while I was listening to them.

"Oh and then, Kaine did-"

"Wow, really?"

Boring stuff basically, I was more concentrated on another scene infront of my eyes: Daemon and Alicia were sitting beside each other in the cafeteria.

This sight surprised more than one as everybody knows Daemon doesn't like to hangout with others, yet this new transfer student pierced his shield?

"That's the power of plot armor and scripting for ya" I mumbled.

The author took a whopping eight chapters of his to show the relationship between Alicia and Daemon improving as we slowly saw the protagonist spend more time with her and actually enjoy it.

But of course, us readers thought this was the beggining of a change of personality for the main character, but she was only there to die and fuel his anger, thus leading him to the next arcs.

"Kaine, are you okay?" Mina asked me.

"Yeah, why?" I replied.

"You've been staring at those two for a while now" she pointed at Daemon and Alicia.

"Oh, I was just wondering how they got so close in such a short amount of time" I lied.

"Well, I heard that she was being bullied and he saved her, then they started hanging out together" Sarah explained.

Yeah, basically people think he stays around her to protect her from anyone coming close, but I believe a single warning from Daemon would of made anyone stop.

Through the days, as I counted them, I kept observing Alicia and Daemon as they spent their time together, I could already sense that a feeling other than friendship was slowly appearing.

I guess the author did a good job in that part.

[6 days left]

Sudden dreams started appearing in my sleep, some where I would interfere with the upcoming arc, thus saving Alicia, because I definitely could if i'm being honest.

But the other majority were... Alicia dying, but not because of the villain, but by my own hands.

I usually woke up at that moment and felt shivers running down my spine, of course I would never do that, if Daemon found out he would kill me.

[5 days left]

I was walking in the hallway when I saw them kissing, it was a quick peck on the lips but it was enough to make me realize that the author was right, the two of them were in love, but in the original they didn't go as far because of Mina's and Sarah's constant appearances.

"Damn, I didn't expect that" I commented and continued walking.

But of course, I was still counting the days until her death, and I was getting closer and closer to the inevitable.

"I wonder how he will react..." a maniacal smile curled up on my face.

[4 days left]

I was sitting in class when I noticed something strange, Daemon was missing, and so was Alicia.

"Where are they?" I wondered.

"Ms.Lana, where are Daemon and Alicia?" I asked the teacher.

"They are both absent today, I don't know why though" she answered.

"I see..." I nodded and looked at the empty seats, "they must be having fun somewhere."

Without the two first heroines blocking their romance, I guess they could go as far as they wanted.

I was in my dorm when I received a message from Mina, she was asking me to come to the garden.

"Why?" I texted her back.

"Just come" she replied.

"Okay..." I sighed and got up, I walked out of my dorm and headed towards the garden.

When I arrived, I saw Mina and Sarah sitting on a bench, they were looking at me with worried expressions on their faces.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"We need to talk" Mina said.

"About what?"

"About you" she replied.

"Me?" I was confused.

"Yes, we've been noticing that you've been acting weird lately, especially when it comes to Alicia" she explained.

"What do you mean?"

"You keep staring at her, and whenever she is mentioned, you seem to get annoyed" she added.

"I don't know what you're talking about" I denied, "it's all in your head, let's go back to the dorm" I looked at them with a blank expression.

The two girls looked at each before sighing, "fine, but if there is anything, tell us and we'll be here for you"

I feel weird, I don't why, I have this strange feeling inside of me I can't explain when I try to think about the upcoming event.

[2 days left]

...

I have nothing to say, I don't wanna think.

[One day left]

Tomorrow is the day it happens, the day Alicia dies and Daemon drowns in darkness.

I wonder just how badly it will be this time as they actually got closer than I expected them to, I wonder what will he do at this very moment...

And why do I feel so happy at the thought of that?

[Disaster Day]

As much as I hate to say it, I didn't feel guilty towards Alicia or Daemon, actually I didn't feel anything at all towards their upcoming situation, it's not any of my problems.

"This is needed for the future of the world, no matter what, it has to happen"

"I'm gonna go outside for awhile" I told Mina after class ended and arriving at our dorm.

The reason? I needed to assist and make sure that everything goes well.

"Huh? Oh okay but be sure to comeback" she agreed and went back to what she was doing.

I walked out of the dorm and headed towards the place where it would happen, the basement of the academy.

I entered the building and walked down the stairs, and I could already hear voices coming from the end of the corridor.

The reason why they attracted Daemon to this place is to kill him after the minotaur arc as they noticed that he damaged their plans, I should have obviously been part of the equation too but I guess an extra can't interfere with the plot.

The villain of this arc basically just grabbed Alicia in the hallway while Daemon was next to her and he led the two of them down there, where nobody could hear them.

I walked down the corridor and stopped infront of the door, I could hear the conversation going on inside.

"You're gonna regret even trying that you little shit" Daemon's voice was harsh.

Then I peeked inside of the room as the door was open and saw the villain in one corner, while Daemon and Alicia were in the other, the latter on her knees as she was visibly injured.

"It's time" I mumbled as I saw the two men pull out their weapons.
