The Extra's Academy Survival Guide Novel Yonder Novels & Stories

LEAH’S POV My feet move on complete autopilot. The morning air is crisp, carrying the faint, clean scent of crushed pine and damp earth from the surrounding hills. Up on the massive digital scoreboard mounted over the main courtyard, the countdown timer for the Survival Trial ticks down in bright blue numbers. Fourteen days. Fourteen days until we are dropped into the Outer Valley Ridge. Every step I take toward the eastern training field makes my stomach twist tighter. I barely slept last night. Every time I close my eyes, I see Uriel Thorne’s pale silver eyes staring down at me in that quiet corridor.

The title reads, "The Lost Bloodlines: A Forgotten Legacy." Excitement surged through both girls as they opened the book. Its pages were filled with handwritten notes and illustrations, detailing a secret society that had existed for centuries, guarding the knowledge of a special lineage—a bloodline with extraordinary abilities. As they read further, they discovered that their suspicions were correct. Tiffany and Hailey were indeed descendants of this ancient bloodline, born with unique powers waiting to be awakened. The clash they witnessed the night before was just the beginning, a sign that their journey was meant to unfold.

"This was not--" Headmaster Noah puts his hand off, telling me to be quiet. I immediately stop talking. "This is Yellow Sun Academy," Headmaster Noah starts, "Here. We teach you, the students, the skills you will need to survive in the Wild. We teach you about the animals you will encounter. We teach you about which plants can save your life. We do not teach you how to respect each other. We do not teach you to draw your weapons against another student. We do not teach manners nor common sense because I feel, those are things most of you should already know."

Bob adds "The important thing is what he told us" Hiraku clears his throat "the world I will send you to is dominated by beasts, magical beings and it's very perilous. Humanity is doomed to extinction. Your mission will be to save humanity and guide mankind to an era of peace and prosperity. This world is more advanced than yours, not in technology, but in energy. The presence of mana makes possible all kinds of phenomena that you will not understand, so it will be difficult for you to survive until you learn the basics.

Clearing my throat, I blinked away the watery abomination blurring my vision as I looked across the graveyard to distract myself, and thankfully, there was a lot on the menu — more than I could probably digest. There were too many unanswered questions. The worst part was I didn’t even know where to start looking for the answers. The mortal army was still around us, led by the celestial soldiers, but Nikolai, his mother and his sister were nowhere to be seen. Yandor’s full attention had shifted to me. So had everyone else’s. Even Azum’s. He stood between us and the celestials, like a barrier. Who the hell was I supposed to trust? Xanthea?

I hoped it would let me know what to do. The Ultara Academy had been my second home for many years, but now it was no longer safe anymore. I felt like a criminal who walked into the beautiful campus with a deadly plan to raid the school. Or as if every second there was a chance I would turn into a monster and start eating people, and that is something I have to prevent, better yet to do it now.

"He only hit people when he lost his temper and couldn't find a solution. He didn't want both my sister in danger and me. Because for him, I am his biological son. Therefore, I cannot let my sister suffer injustice." Finn is worried. "You want to go there? Do you know that's going to die?" Uri opens his backpack, takes the ancient golden book, takes off the book's last page, and gives it to Finn. "Please keep this map; it is a living hope for many people. I live or die doesn't matter. The important thing is that you save everyone so that they don't live in the mountain cave anymore." "You… you decided to go there?" Finn reached out his trembling hands and took the map from Uri's hand.

No more "Root Directory." "The laws of physics are ours to write now," Rhys said, his voice full of a terrifying, beautiful wonder. "We’re in the True Real. No safety nets. No destiny." The Final Whistle? Elara walked to the window of the Apex. The million survivors were beginning to step out onto the blue grass of the valley. They were building fires, singing songs, and—in a small patch of frozen pond near the landing struts—a group of children was already batting a piece of scrap metal with curved sticks.

And you're enjoying air-conditioning! Daisy: Damn you! We're being roasted alive out here while you enjoy yourself inside, you unfilial monster! You'll get what's coming to you! Their rage and despair practically spilled through the screen. And that—was exactly what I wanted. I turned off my phone, tossed it aside, and leisurely began enjoying my first meal of the apocalypse. Yes. I had been reborn to the very moment when Denise and my so-called parents first proposed setting up a doomsday fund.

Any issue on his side went straight through her. Scott was a blade, a useful one, but dangerous if mishandled. That day, after arranging another shipment for him, her communicator buzzed again. Scott's voice came through. "Captain Reid, we found a large group of survivors in the canyon behind the castle. They're refusing to surrender. I'm planning to wipe them out." Hayley's eyes narrowed slightly. The canyon! Was it the same inner and outer camp that Laurel and Felix had mentioned? She had been too busy clearing zombies lately to dig deeper into Ascendant Creed.
