The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra - Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Meeting With Athena [1]
***

Amon headed out of the door after bidding farewell to Katherine and Lily.

It had been 2 days now since the talk with Arthur and Michael.

He looked at himself.

His arms, legs, and neck were covered in white bandages.

These were the parts that were still recovering and had cracks on them.

To hide them, he had to use bandages. Other than that, he was wearing casual blue jeans with a black jersey.

He sighed, his breath coming out in a thin white puff.

It had just rained so it was a little cold.

After coming back, he got to know that it was revealed from the academy that Daniel was a ghoul contractor.

He had targeted Michael and Amon for their weak minds which ended up in both of them getting kidnapped right after classes.

Unfortunately, he was seen through by Elizabeth using her passive ability.

But even then, she was unable to beat him and the sirens went off because of their confrontation.

This led to swift action from Arthur who killed Daniel instantly and then disappeared to rescue Michael and Amon.

The incident caused quite some uproar within the academy.

Arthur had to report to the Imperiac.

Or more accurately, the furious Emperor and Empress for what happened to Michael.

They were furious and demanded him to search for their son quickly which the former promised with all his heart.

With his shadows and power of time, it wasn’t so difficult to search the whole continent so they trusted him.

Of course, he ended up with nothing much of a punishment.

Even though Michael was their son, they couldn’t afford to piss off the strongest man.

Some parents wanted to withdraw their children over what happened.

But Arthur quickly saved the day by stating Daniel had converted after several years and the academy.

To make the parents calm down, he conducted a thorough search of all the teachers.

Only then, did they calm down to a certain degree.

Elizabeth was given a badge of honor and a leave to return to her parents.

Arthur also had to calm down the raging Snowcrest Matriarch.

Fortunately, Amon wasn’t there for any of this as he was missing for 2 whole days after the incident.

He returned later with Michael and Amon, making up an excuse that they were hidden in a secret bunker with devices that halted his mana search.

Amon came walking home to a crying Lily and Katherine which took him several hours to calm them down.

Though the public was still skeptical, they chose to let it go since the 2 cadets had returned without any injuries.

Well, at least in their eyes, the cadets did.

Amon was pretty much fucked.

It wasn’t just the body injuries with all the cracks and the pain.

For one, his mana pathways were messed up.

As if the drug wasn’t enough to weaken and disrupt their flow, the excessive use of [Void Energy] had clotted his pathways with the energy.

Due to that, any element he tried to use would be weak and disruptive because of the clash between opposite-natured mana.

He unwrapped one of the bandages on his arm, revealing a web of small and large cracks traveling over the length of his arm.

They were shining purple as crystal clear purple energy coursed through them, holding them together.

A pained expression appeared on his face and he quickly wrapped them back.

This was the thing that hurt him the most in the aftermath.

And it was that….

Zephyra wasn’t there anymore.

The only explanation for this was the purple cracks.

They were there even during the fight with Daniel and Zephyra returned to his body to hold him together.

Due to the drug, the [Void Energy] had run rampant inside his body.

So she went in his body and even till this moment, she was holding the energy from breaking out.

If not for her, his body would have surely broken into bits by now.

He sighed, a sting of sadness piercing through his chest.

He didn’t know if she could hear him now that she was inside his body or if she was hibernating.

He just wanted her to know…

He missed her. He really did.

He really fucking missed her.

Even taking apart the amount he was grateful to her and owed her, he really missed her antics.

Those jokes and jabs at each other made him laugh more than anything in a day.

She and he were different from this world after all. He resonated with her.

So these past 3 days of not seeing her really made him feel lonely.

Moving back to the present situation, he had to report to Athena’s office right now.

Not HOU but her personal office.

His mind drifted back to the line Arthur had said to him before leaving.

To tell him about his powers to ‘her’.

He probably meant Athena.

Though he wasn’t against it.

In fact, this was one of the reasons he had approached HOU and tried to build connections with Athena.

Arthur doing it had just speeded up his process. Especially so since they both were…

Amon coughed.

In any case, the only problem was why he did that.

The person that Amon found the most unpredictable in the whole novel was Arthur.

He could do anything in the world.

And on top of it, his reason for doing that could range from an actual reason to just simple boredom or nothing at all.

Amon sighed for the umpteenth time.

All he could do now was visit her and hopefully, she would take him in.

Getting on the foggy road, he quickly took a carriage to the teacher’s block.

As the hooves of the horses tapped against the cold wet cobblestone, Amon’s mind moved towards the worst problem in the aftermath.

And it was that…

He didn’t remember anymore.

He forgot what was supposed to happen on the trip arc completely.

Not just that, many other parts of his future memories of the novel were now missing.

They were completely blank without a hint.

And how did all of this happen?

Because he used [Void Decay] on himself.

Or more precisely, on his head in the fight.
