The Extra Who Shouldn't Exist novel Chapter 113

Chapter 113: Chapter 113 : Grand enterance (1)

A voice, laced with teasing amusement, echoed from an intercom above.

"You’re 8 minutes late. Looks like we’ll have to deduct the promised money."

A vein visibly bulged on Alex’s forehead.

"...Tch." He turned around, throwing up a hand in mock annoyance. "You know what? You guys can find someone else to go with. I’m leaving."

He spun on his heel with exaggerated drama.

Just then, another voice, more hurried and panicked, chimed in.

"Wait! Wait! We were joking!"

A sigh followed, then a half-serious scolding.

"Eve, don’t push this idiot too far."

The gate let out a soft mechanical hiss and parted smoothly down the middle. Alex arched an eyebrow and stepped forward, entering a space that screamed wealth and technology intertwined.

As soon as he did, a smooth, feminine voice greeted him.

{"Mr. Alex, please wait a few moments. Miss Evelyn and Miss Alicia will be out shortly."}

Alex blinked, then muttered, ’An AI assistant? Just like my Zara.’

The voice replied with an immediate, almost smug tone.

{"My name is Miya. And I am far superior to Zara.

Miss Alicia was right—you are quite worthy of accompanying Miss Eve and Miss Alicia... well, appearance-wise, I must add."}

Alex’s mouth twitched.

"In your dreams, Ms. Miya. My Zara is leagues above you."

He folded his arms but smirked. "But I must say, your mistresses are definitely not wor—"

Before he could finish, the door to another room hissed open.

Two figures stepped out, heels clicking softly against the polished marble floor.

Alex turned—

And his breath hitched seeing both of them.

Evelyn stood confidently, dressed in a shimmering off-shoulder gown of white and gold. The golden accents of her dress danced with her equally golden hair and sparkling amber-gold eyes. The slit down her thigh gave her a goddess-like presence—refined yet boldly seductive.

Beside her was Alicia von Crestvale, in an ice-blue dress that clung to her curves like it had been crafted by magic. Her snow-white hair cascaded like a waterfall, and her eyes sparkled beneath icy lashes. The backless gown shimmered like frost under moonlight, with a diamond choker adding an extra touch of regality.

They both looked like divine beings walking among mortals.

Alex tried to compose himself—but his eyes lingered just a second too long.

Meanwhile, Evelyn and Alicia were no better. The moment they laid eyes on Alex—wearing a stunning dark navy tuxedo laced with silver runes, tailored to perfection to hug his tall, athletic frame—

A crystal-lined silver cravat lay neatly against his chest, and matching silver cuffs glinted with ethereal blue gems.

His long silver hair was tied loosely at the back, a few strands flowing freely, perfectly matching his piercing blue eyes. A sapphire earring dangled from his left ear—subtle, yet captivating.

Evelyn gulped softly.

Alicia’s eyes briefly dilated, and she licked her lips without realizing.

A full ten seconds passed in complete silence as all three of them just stared at each other.

Then, at once, they looked away awkwardly.

In the heart of Zenith Academy, the Grand Hall had been transformed into a scene of luxurious wonder.

Golden chandeliers floated mid-air, glowing with enchanted lights. Velvet curtains in royal blue and crimson lined the towering crystal walls. A massive enchanted fountain of stardust flowed in the center of the hall, sparkling under the arched ceilings.

Despite being a ball, it wasn’t just dancing. Lively music played as couples enjoyed a variety of games set up at the edges of the hall—magical puzzles, agility trials for duos, even a "couples’ trivia challenge" that drew many embarrassed laughs.

Those who came alone weren’t left out—various solo games and refreshment zones had been set up to make sure everyone had a good time.

It was a balance of elegance and fun—a celebration of the new era of cadets.

Standing on the elevated stage, the event host grinned widely, hair bouncing as she raised a magically-enhanced microphone.

"Welcome, everyone, to the Zenith Academy Freshman Ball! Whether you’ve come with your heartthrob, your best friend, or even solo—tonight, you’re all stars!"

The crowd erupted in cheers.

"This isn’t just a night for dancing—it’s a celebration of you—the dreamers, the challengers, the future heroes of Etheron! So grab a drink, take your partner’s hand, and let’s make this night legendary!"

Mira beamed as the applause thundered across the hall.

In the crowd, Carl Dimitri was practically jumping up and down, yelling, "THAT’S MY GIRL!! WOOHOO, MIRA HART!!!"

Several students chuckled, while Mira gave him a wink from the stage.

One by one, all the famed second-year cadets entered.

At the front of the pack was Lucas Evans Avaloria, dressed in a white and navy formal suit, his presence commanding. Beside him was his elegant partner with cascading dark blue hair in a backless, slit gown that sparkled like midnight sapphire.

Then came the others—each entrance louder than the last as the top cadets made their appearance with grace and charisma.

As the second years began mingling, a new wave of murmurs rose.

Alden von Crestvale entered, wearing a perfectly tailored royal-blue suit with silver embroidery and a high-collared white shirt. His slicked-back silver hair and sharp eyes made him look like nobility out of a fantasy tale.

Beside him, Ava Green’s earthy golden gown shimmered under the chandeliers. The leaf-like embroidery across her neckline and shoulders complimented her chestnut hair, making her look like a forest spirit in regal form.

They walked in perfect sync, their combined aura practically radiant.

Not long after, Draven strolled in with his partner, Islode, her hand confidently hooked around Draven’s arm.

Rein came next, cool and composed in a gray suit accented with green, followed by Lilia Scott.

All eyes turned. Whispers began to fill the hall.
