The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra - Chapter 102

Chapter 102: Sound, Void and Sun [2]
***

It was finally the day.

Class soon came to an end, and it was time for the three to report for the training session again.

It was now a week since they had started training.

Amon packed his stuff and looked at Michael.

“Can you report to the teacher that I’ll be a few minutes late? I’ll see you there.”

Michael nodded with a smile.

“Sure, I’ll report it to Daniel so you don’t have to worry.” He gave a thumbs up.

Amon squinted his eyes.

Even though the symptoms had died down, the signs were still there.

The way he referred to ‘Daniel’ so casually showed his trust and easiness around him now.

It was a subtle cue that he was able to notice.

As Michael left the class, Amon rushed towards the bathrooms.

Entering them, he quickly got into one of them and opened his mouth wide.

Taking out a hand mirror, he quickly observed his upper jaw, finding two pills embedded in a tooth on each side.

He nodded and put back the mirror.

Coming out, he adjusted himself and took a look through everything he had prepared.

He couldn’t fail this.

A 5th order clovist wasn’t an easy foe.

Finding himself ready, he exited the bathrooms and left the academic block.

It was late afternoon right now. The Sun was going to set in a few hours.

He exhaled a deep sigh. He had accepted the quest from the system.

Amon needed to play his cards right.

Not just in defeating Daniel, but in other aspects as well.

If all went well, then it was going to be a major advantage for him.

He was now on his way to the personal training rooms.

**

Amon entered the rooms, finding it to be a cozy party environment already.

There were couches and tables and the lights were set to dim already.

Daniel had of course set this using the room’s settings.

He looked at Elizabeth and Michael who were seated at the couches, already engaging in talks.

Then he saw Daniel coming from the side, setting drinks on the tables in front of them.

Noticing Amon’s presence, he turned and smiled at him.

“Oh Amon, you are finally here. Michael had notified me about your lateness.”

The former nodded.

He could see signs of suspicion in Daniel’s eyes.

It was to be expected.

This was the final day of his plan. He couldn’t afford anything to go wrong.

Especially so by the only person who had obliterated his plans the previous 2 times.

The whole week Amon had been on time. So his lateness on the final day was definitely suspicious.

Regardless, Amon stayed calm.

The Void suppressed his negative feelings and if there was any chance Daniel could sense his erratic heartbeat, then he couldn’t.

Because his heart didn’t beat. Not after the constitution change.

Regardless, he smiled back at Daniel, bringing up a sense of haziness in his eyes.

“Yes Daniel! I apologize for being late, hope you understand.”

He answered in a casual tone like the other two.

Seeing his signs were working, Daniel’s suspicions dissipated a little.

“No problem, go ahead and take a seat on the opposite couch. We are celebrating one week of our training.” He gestured to a couch opposite the duo.

Nodding, he happily went and took a seat on the couch.

He relaxed himself totally.

As Daniel served the other two some drinks and engaged in small talk, he observed them.

So far, everything was according to the plot except for some minor changes.

In any case, it was beneficial for Amon to be seated away from the two.

If he remembered correctly, Daniel would settle in between them.

Then, slowly but surely, he would use his Sound Magic in a larger intensity this time.

Along with the drinks that were mixed with miasma, Michael and Elizabeth would slowly start to corrupt.

It was only after Michael got several wake up calls from the system and Solaran that he snapped back.

Right now, Amon was seated exactly where the third person in the novel was seated.

If all went according to plan, Daniel would ignore him and focus his attention on the two.

And preferably, if possible, he wanted to stay behind in the fight and just steal the last hit on Daniel.

After all, he only needed to kill Daniel which could be done with the last strike.

Of course, it didn’t mean that he believed this would happen.

He wasn’t an Extra, that he knew. Especially not with those cheats…

And the plotline was surely fucked the moment he was brought into the first mini-arc.

So…

He was already planning for something to go wrong.

And fortunately, he was prepared.

He looked at Zephyra from the corner of his eye, taking off his attention for a second.

She was seated on a starless couch a certain distance away from him, sipping a glass of wine.

Her aubergine hair were pulled up into a bun and she was wearing a regal black ball gown, with stars etched on the dress.

Her eyes met his and she winked.

He simply stared at her, not saying a word.

‘…What are you doing?’ He finally asked.

[Guess, Sherlock.] She shrugged.

Amon didn’t say anything.

‘…’

[I’m drinking and enjoying it, can’t you see?] She asked.

‘…’

[…]

‘….What?’

[What?] She questioned back.

‘Don’t ‘what?’ me, you know what we are here for and what is about to happen right?’

She shrugged.

[I know and I trust you to handle it. It’s not like I can beat them or anything.]

‘…’

[Don’t worry, I’ll still help you in a lot of ways except for fighting them.] She did a thumbs up.

He sighed.

‘Whatever.’

Suddenly, he felt a presence coming toward him.

He looked up and saw Daniel walking in his direction.

He had two glasses of wine in his hand and a wide smile was plastered on his face.

Settling beside him on the couch, he extended a glass toward him.

“How is it going Amon? Let’s enjoy this evening shall we?”

Amon resisted a deep and tired sigh.

‘Of course, what was I thinking? It was never going to be this easy for me.’
