The Extra's Reincarnation-Chapter 144: First Years And Second Years

Kaelen had been right in front of him.

"…!"

"What?!"

Damien barely registered the movement as the first-year charged, sword raised high and a strange aura blazing along its edge.

"Crowned Technique: Splitting Waterfall"

SHING!

The attack came in a single, devastating slash.

A crescent of raw energy tore through the air, its arc wide enough to cleave through the entire second-year line.

Damien twisted violently but the blade of mana just grazed his side.

But behind him, the rest of his team wasn't so lucky.

"UGHHH!"

Groans erupted from the second-years as they staggered under the force of the attack.

The impact ripped through their ranks, breaking their momentum and leaving them momentarily stunned.

It was all the opening the first-years needed.

"CHARGE!" Kaelen shouted, his voice cutting through the chaos like a battle cry.

The remaining first-years surged forward seizing their advantage without a single thought.

Rivaleno sprinted ahead, eyes locked on a single target: Lyssander.

The second-year had barely recovered from Kaelen's attack when Rivaleno crashed into him with his flaming spear.

"You're mine!"

SHAAA!

As Rivaleno's spear thrust burned away the air between them.

BAM!

The force of the attack sent him flying, and Rivaleno continued to press, driving him further and further from the main fight.

The two disappeared into the trees, their clash lighting up the forest like a distant bonfire.

WHOOSH!

As a wind blade cut through the fray towards Cassandra, she didn't have time to think of the formation, Marcus was ready to put his body on the line just to win.

"Looks like victory might be within our hands,"

He smiled as he appeared right behind her with his palm outstretched.

[Spells Arts Of Magica - 4: Forceful Hand]

BOOM!

Cassandra flew backwards, the telekinetic force knocking her off her feet and into the tangled brush.

"Marcus Renfield," she growled, catching herself mid-air with a burst of mana.

"You think you can take me alone?"

"That's the plan."

Cassandra landed deftly on her feet, narrowing onto Marcus as he manifested his elemental weapon.

"We'll see if you can withstand this!"

BANG!

A massive explosion reverberated through the battlefield, shaking the canopy as Marcus and Cassandra's fight erupted in a flash of light.

Kaelen watched them go with a grim satisfaction.

Rivaleno and Marcus had taken out two of the key pillars of their attack just as Elenore had planned, leaving only Damien, Miyuki, and two other second-years to deal with.

She knew she was right; Kaelen was much stronger than Rivaleno and had far better battle IQ than Marcus.

She had told him earlier of her strategy to drive everyone else out so she could fully support him.

Now it was time to execute.

Elenore appeared at his side, imbuing a buff.

"Restore the breath of air and recover as fast as the world, enlighten me O'Grace let this world call out your name in song."

Restoring Kaelen's stamina and any remainder of his injuries he had gotten a full wide buff that will allow him to take on everyone in front of him.

"Ready?"

"All set," Kaelen replied, gripping his sword tighter.

"Let's finish this."

They turned their focus on the remaining second-years.

Damien's eyes blazed with fury as he spotted Kaelen charging in for another attack.

"Not this time!" he roared, mana flaring violently around him in a protective aura.

Miyuki moved with swift precision, her own mana weaving into intricate patterns that shielded them from all sides.

The two extra second-years flanked them, ready to intercept any first-year foolish enough to get close.

Kaelen attacked again, this time with Elenore at his back.

The air between them crackled with raw energy as they launched a coordinated assault.

"Crowned Technique: False crescent"

"Spell Arts Of Magica - 15: Amplification!"

The crescent of energy from Kaelen's sword swelled to twice its size as Elenore's spell supercharged it mid-flight.

It tore through the air like a living thing, its trajectory erratic yet precise.

Miyuki's eyes widened in shock as she realized it was aimed directly at her.

"Scatter!" she shouted, but it was too late.

SWOOSH!

The attack hit with devastating force, throwing Miyuki and the two extra second-years into disarray.

They struggled to regain their footing under the relentless barrage of amplified strikes from Kaelen and Elenore.

"Keep pushing!" Elenore urged, her voice steady as she cast another support spell.

"Don't let up!"

But just as this battle had been looking winnable by far, Damien wasn't going to allow any of this mockery to destroy their years reputation.

"Spell Arts Of Earth - Rising Pillars!"

RUBMLE…RUMBLE…RUMBLE…

The ground beneath Kaelen erupted as spikes of earth shot up like spears.

"…!"

HEUP!

Kaelen leapt to avoid them just as Damien had anticipated.

"Now!" Damien shouted, preparing to counterattack.

But Kaelen was one step ahead.

"Did you really think I wouldn't see that coming?"

Kaelen twisted mid-air with a grin, his sword already swinging around in a wide arc.

WHOOOSH!

A crescent of energy blasted out, hurtling straight for Damien.

BOOM!

He managed to throw up a mana shield in time to deflect the worst of it, but the impact sent him skidding back across the ground.

"Damien!" Miyuki's voice cut through the chaos as she regained her footing.

She dashed toward him looking to give him a healing spell but it seems she was worried for nothing.

"We're not done yet,"

The other two second-years regrouped, rallying behind their leaders despite the overwhelming odds.

Elenore and Kaelen exchanged a quick glance, understanding passing between them in an instant.

"Finish it," Elenore urged, casting another spell to boost Kaelen's power even further.

Kaelen nodded, as he charged again.

The second-years braced themselves for the onslaught, knowing they had only one chance to turn the tide.

At the last moment, one of them realized that taking decisive action was exactly what they needed to secure victory.

Of course it was to buy time for Damien's recovery.

"Look out!"

Miyuki screamed as a massive crescent bore down on them.

BOOM!

The impact was devastating, and they were eliminated instantly from Kaelen's attack.

-To think they'd sacrifice their lives just for the two of them, it's incredible to see.

Elenore blinked in surprise at the actions of the second years, but it only fueled her determination.

Victory is near.

"Kaelen, you're our ace," she said, realizing that she might not even need Julian to win this.

"Give it everything you have!"

"Got it!"

Without hesitation, he unleashed another wave of attacks.

The final extra second-year fought desperately to hold on against Kaelen's attacks.

He knew what was coming and moved in front of Damien and Miyuki once more, taking the brunt of Kaelen's strike.

Making sure that their leaders won't get hit.

CRASH!

With one last burst of light, he too was eliminated.

Damien glared at Kaelen, frustrated that they actually lost to two first years with no tactical combat knowledge at all.

"Where the hell is he?" Damien shouted, barely containing his rage.

Miyuki was at his side, her mana already forming a protective barrier around them.

"Don't worry about him now," she said, her voice tense as she focused on holding off Kaelen's attacks.

CRACK!

Another crescent smashed into the ground in front of them, sending a shockwave that nearly knocked them off their feet.

"We can't hold much longer!" Miyuki gasped, pouring everything she had into shielding them from the barrage.

"They're finished!" she called to Kaelen, who was already preparing another attack.

Damien clenched his fists in frustration.

"Marcel! Where are you?" he yelled again, desperation tinging his voice as they braced for the final strike.

Then, just as hope seemed lost—

FWOOOOOSH!

A massive gust of wind tore through the battlefield like a hurricane, scattering debris and forcing Kaelen to skid back in surprise.

It was Marcel Dorn, standing tall with the barely conscious bodies of Marcus Renfield and Rivaleno draped over his shoulders.

He dropped them to the ground like discarded cargo with their energy utterly depleted.

"You called?" Marcel's voice was calm, but his eyes burned with intensity.

Marcus and Rivaleno groaned in pain, unable to move but still aware of their surroundings.

A slow grin spread across Damien's face as he felt a surge of hope return to him.

"Marcel! What took you so long?"

"Just cleaning up," Marcel replied coolly.

"I see you've been busy."

Kaelen's expression darkened at Marcel's sudden appearance.

Elenore joined his side and she couldn't believe it that Marcus and Rivaleno had lost.

"How...?" she began, trying to comprehend how they had returned so quickly.

"I told you not to underestimate them," Marcel said, turning his attention back to Damien and Miyuki.

"Those two were able to take out Cassandra and Lyssander, this was a mistake on your end Damien."

"I'm sorry,"

"They were stronger than we thought."

Haah...

Marcel sighed, the weight of disappointment lifting as he placed a hand on Damien's shoulder.

"Just don't let it happen again."

WOM!

A rush of energy surged through Damien, his mana replenished and his body recovering instantly.

Elenore's eyes narrowed as she watched the scene unfold.

"Where's Julian?" she demanded, trying to mask her concern.

Marcel chuckled at her question and spoke in the kind of tone that could creep anyone out.

"Him? Well," he began, a glint of mischief in his eyes.

"You know how those who come across me always end up."

He gestured toward Rivaleno and Marcus with a flick of his wrist.

BOOM!

A blast of mana erupted from Marcel, and the two on the ground disintegrated into particles of light, eliminated before they could even react.

"They end up like that."
