The Extra's Odyssey

-(Present || Nathan flying in the sky explaining how things progressed to this point while Cadmus and Leon are fighting on the ground)-

"Pffft"

I couldn't help but laugh as I recalled what happened with 2-class alliance. All of them went to attack Susan, believing their superiority in numbers. But, oh boy did they lose badly?

Susan single-handedly dominated the battlefield.

It was worth mentioning that except for Rank1 Susan, Rank2 Cadmus, Rank9 Anna, Rank 13 Ken, Rank23 Lilith, and Rank 3-5 overseers, every other top 25 ranked cadet was either in Class Wand or Class Shooter.

It was the first time in history that all the top 25 cadets belonged to Combat-department. Another reason for them being called the golden generation.

Susan had to face 14 ranked cadets alone. It went without saying Class Wand and Class Shooter had good reasons to be confident of their victory.

Sadly for them, Susan was capable of going toe-to-toe against a 3-star monster at Lvl.19, and this was when the monster was a perfect counter for her.

The alliance simply had no chance of winning, to begin with.

(You are an asshole, you know that? Susan would've lost if not for you and you are acting like it was their fault.)

'I only encouraged Susan to fight to her best, nothing else. So, I have nothing to do with their loss.' Denying Eth's claims, I shook my head exaggeratedly.

(Have some shame, will you? Your announcement 'Do your best. I hope that everyone can perform to their fullest. Because as they say: Your actions for today determine your tomorrow' was practically you telling Susan 'I want you to fight to your best'!)

(Or she wouldn't have fought to her full extent, as Aegis has prohibited her!)

'tsk, tsk, Eth I don't know what you are talking about'

'All of this was meant to happen with Cadmus plan. I only aided him so that his plans procced without a hitch.'

Class Wand's elimination was set in stone after losing 60 T-points. Yet, there is a delay in the transfer of points as such, Class Wand had no choice but to go all out against defeating Susan, in hopes of balancing thier negative T-points. However, defeating Susan was easier said than done.

Even if Class Wand could've defeated Susan, they had no guarantee that Susan was our leader, not to mention they had to attack Class Shooter too, to gain T-points.

The chaos instigated by Cadmus made Class Shooter lose many teammates, eliminated Class Wand, while he was able to gauge Leon's and mine abilities to an extent.

(You didn't explain how nothing was left to luck)

'The fight between alliance and Susan was chaotic, to say the least, while the fight on Leon's side was barely worth mentioning.'

'So, the other overseers who were all ranked cadets went to the more dangerous area and had to leave the minor scuffle to me.'

(That... makes sense)

'Doesn't it?'

'Kyaa, Cadmus is so smart!'

Only 4 cadets of Class Shooter were not eliminated and they fled Susan. Susan, who had finally found someone to tail, went behind them.

'I can't believe a monster like her can be so clumsy! How the heck does she get lost in a small jungle!?'

Shortly after Cadmus went to the site where the battle between the alliance and Susan occurred.

Susan didn't pick the map pieces of eliminated Cadets. As such, their map pieces were lying on the ground left there by the overseers.

This was something else to note. The reason why Cadmus caused such a large-scale battle was that if a map holder is eliminated but the other cadet doesn't pick up the map pieces, they'll be left on the sight.

Chances that a portion of map pieces might be lost this way weren't low. Thus, they were made to fight in a single place.

Also, counting by the number, all 10 map piece holders had been eliminated.

Cadmus went there to take the map pieces but Ken lost control of his stigma [Kaneki] and stole the map pieces.

And this led to the current situation, a battle between Leon and Cadmus.

***

-(Past || Continuation of Leon's 3rd person POV after the elimination of Class Wand)-

"What did you go to talk with Nathan?" Lilith pouted for the umpteenth time.

Leon helplessly smiled. Lilith wasn't very happy that Nathan and he were keeping something secret from her.

"It was something... personal"

"Personal? Like personal, personal?"

"Y-yeah" Leon stuttered when he found Lilith nodding to herself with twinkling eyes.

"I forgot you two were like that"

'Why do I feel like she misunderstood me?' But it wasn't like Leon could tell her the truth, so he dropped the topic altogether.

While the trio was walking together, Leon spoke to Lark.

"Class Wand was eliminated quite early. I didn't think the competition would end only a few hours after beginning."

"Me too"

Leon smiled when Lark talked. In past, Leon had challenged Lark to a duel and defeated him because he was trying to bully Nathan.

Back then, Leon's mind was clouded with anger and he went overboard. But now he was trying to do better, and it was by giving Lark a 2nd chance.

Leon was happy to see Lark conversing normally and not like a prick.

The trio was resting for a few minutes when Lark bought up a topic.

"Aren't you worried about map pieces? Since Class Wand was eliminated by default, their map pieces would be lying on the ground."

Leon agreed with Lark and after a small discussion, they combed through the forest while searching for the map pieces.

What Leon and Lilith didn't know was Lark was leading them to the area where the map pieces were by following the directions sent by Ken.

It took Lark an hour to bring them to the designated place.

Clang-! Clang-!

The trio picked up the pace when they heard the sound of clashing blades.

"Cadmus, Ken, what are you two doing?!"

A white-haired Ken was rushing at Cadmus, attacking him fiercely.

"Ken lost control to his alter ego! Stand back!"

Cadmus' spear tore through Kaneki, Ken's alter ego, and sliced his arm off.

"Kukukuku! Why are you running bastard!" Kaneki laughed maniacally and rushed at Cadmus with only one hand.

Cadmus retreated swiftly while deflecting Kaneki's attack.

Kaneki had super strength, super regeneration, almost unending stamina, and attacked anyone who entered his sight. It was better to say whenever Ken's stigma [Kaneki] comes out, he becomes no different from a dungeon boss. Ruthless, dangerous, and unbeatable.

However, despite all these traits, Cadmus was a veteran. He knew how to defeat Kaneki.

"Ken! What the hell are you doing? We are in the middle of a competition, stop!"

Leon entered the battlefield along with Lilith.

However, Cadmus was faster.

He jumped higher into the sky. Kaneki followed him without second guesses and attacked.

The angel made it impossible for Lilith to shoot Kaneki without attacking Cadmus with her shotgun, and it would take Leon 10 seconds to cover the distance. If Cadmus didn't defeat Kaneki in one attack, Leon would be the one to defeat Kaneki and ultimately get all his flags.

But this wasn't what Cadmus wanted.

Clank- Clank- Clank-

Chains erupted from the ground and bound Kaneki. For a moment [Kaneki] was sealed due to Cadmus' stigma.

"[GAE BOLG] !"

Boom-!

Cadmus threw the spear he held in his right at Kaneki. A ball of fire appeared above the spear and engulfed him.

After a minute, the flames vanished and the spear was gone, revealing Ken, who had lost consciousness.

Cadmus swiftly rushed to Ken and pulled him away. Thankfully, Ken had no injuries due to Kaneki's super regeneration and security device.

Leon and the others came to the two. However, Leon held a hesitating expression.

Confused, Cadmus looked below and found himself touching Ken's flags.
