The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra - Chapter 155

Chapter 155: Out of Time [1]
***

Amon walked out of the class, stretching his arms in the hallway.

He was finally done with the written exams of all subjects.

It was hell considering he had to attempt them continuously without any breaks.

But at least he was done.

As for how he did, he thought he had done pretty good.

Though he didn’t remember every question in all exams from the novel, he still knew about 80% of the material.

He knew that the answers to menial tasks like these weren’t written or never explained in most novels.

But surprisingly, for the novel he read, everything was written and explained in detail in a side volume.

And being the loyal fan he was, he read that volume as well.

Probably, he would be able to come in the top 10s. That, he knew for sure.

He quickly opened up his watch and went to the chat group that was created a week ago by Alya.

[Alya: Sorry guys got something to attend to! 🙁 ]

[Charlotte: It’s alright, we can schedule our meeting for sometime later. I got somewhere to go as well.]

[Ren: Sure, Imma hit up a club then. See yall tmr then]

______________

The meeting of their group was canceled since all of them had to go somewhere.

It wasn’t like Amon minded it.

Rather, he preferred it as he was completely tired from the exams.

Looking at the chat, he found himself analyzing their typing patterns again.

It was something he had done over the week by chatting with them all.

Alya was the completely casual type of chatter, often using symbols and emojis to express herself.

Charlotte was kind and generous like always, while also using punctuation for everything in the sentence.

And Ren, like the person he was, just messaged straight up without anything.

It often made a person misunderstand his message considering he didn’t even bother to put commas.

As for Amon himself, he was just a dry chatter. It didn’t mean that he often ignored the messages or just gave one-word replies.

It was more like that his messages didn’t have any soul in them.

Especially since he didn’t bother to put punctuations or any emojis as well.

‘Whatever.’ He shrugged.

He wanted to go home and just slump in bed.

Fuck the academy’s arrival and everything.

With that thought, he quickly walked toward his apartment.

***

As Amon arrived in front of his apartment door, he quickly rummaged through his pockets for keys.

But…

He couldn’t feel them.

‘What?’ He tapped his body all over, trying to find the keys.

But no, he had apparently forgotten the keys today.

In cases like these, there were mana scanners on the side of the door.

A person could scan their ID there which had the specific mana signature of that person.

Unfortunately, Amon couldn’t use that option since the apartment was under Katherine’s name.

As the strongest third year, she was obviously given a lavish and spacious space.

So rather than letting Amon rot in a small apartment for being the weakest, they were both living together in her apartment.

And because of that, only she could open the door through her mana signature and he had to enter through the keys.

Stuck in a pinch, Amon quickly called up Katherine on his smartwatch.

[Amon: Stuck outside the apartment. Forgot the keys inside.]

[Kath: …]

Amon clicked his tongue.

[Amon: Hey, it wasn’t my intention okay?]

[Kath: Do you have Alzheimer lil bro?]

Amon instantly replied back.

[Amon: No sis.]

[He does.] Vain and Zephyra simultaneously replied in his head.

‘Shut up.’

[Kath: How can you forget the keys then?]

[Amon: I don’t know :sob: Just tell me what do I do now.]

He added a crying emoji.

Yes, his sister was the only one he used emojis with.

[Kath: Okay, listen up lil bro. There are two options. One, you wait for me there till I come back.]

[Amon: No, never the first one, I’m not rotting here till you come back. I’ll go for the second.]

[Kath: Second, you go to Alice’s apartment. Elizabeth should be there already so wait there until I come back.]

‘Wait.’

[Amon: Isn’t Lily inside?] He asked her, horrified.

Usually, Lily would be at the door before he even opened it but today she wasn’t there.

Was she sleeping or gone somewhere?

Katherine quickly answered him.

[Katherine: She’s with us right now. We had to buy some more things for the festival so I came back to change and took Lily along with me lol.]

Amon cursed in his head.

‘Guess I’ll just take the second option.’

[Amon: Aight, I’ll just go to Elizabeth then.]

He concluded and Katherine sent a thumbs-up emoji as confirmation.

[Katherine: Alice will notify her that you are coming then.]

Amon reacted with a thumbs up as well and closed his smartwatch.

Walking to her apartment, Amon promptly knocked on the door.

Then, he waited.

[Bro’s going to be alone in a room with a girl who crushes on him.] Vain laughed.

Zephyra looked baffled.

[Crush!? When did that happen?]

[Oh right, you weren’t awake when all that happened.]

Amon, however, quickly shut the snake down.

‘Stop overthinking it.’

Unfortunately, the snake ignored him as he was busy telling the story to Zephyra, who in turn was pressing him to tell everything.

Amon looked at the door again. There was still no response.

He knocked again, a little harder.

Then, he waited again.

But unfortunately, there was still no response.

He did it again and harder but then again, no response.

After waiting another minute, he contacted Katherine again.

[Amon: Elizabeth isn’t opening the door.]

He didn’t say that no one was home since he could see faint signs of light from inside, indicating that she was still there.

After some minutes, Katherine responded again.

[Kath: Alice tells me that she has already informed Elizabeth and she has opened the door in turn. So you can go inside, she might be busy with something you know.]

Amon saw her message and twisted the door handle and to his surprise, it opened up.

So the door was open all along.

[Amon: Yeah it’s open, I’ll head inside then.]

Katherine reacted back with a thumbs-up emoji and he closed his app again.

Then, he twisted the door handle again and headed inside.

And as soon as he entered, his gaze traveled down to a cat that stared at him with its diamond-like blue eyes.

He instantly understood who the cat was.

It was Elizabeth’s familiar. Borealith should have been its name if he was correct.

Even previously, he knew Ren’s familiar name but asked it to confirm if anything had changed.

But hearing his answer, he knew that nothing changed.

The same should be for Elizabeth as well but he won’t be surprised if something changes with her.

His interference had interrupted with her character and story the most after all.

Looking at the familiar, Amon knew that it was the one who had opened the door for him.

But where was Elizabeth then?

He took off his shoes and quickly walked into the lounge.

But just as he was about to settle down on the sofa, the door to his right opened.

His eyes traveled to the source of the sound but instantly regretted doing so.

His eyes widened as he saw Elizabeth standing there with her hair wet and water dripping down on the floor.

There was a towel wrapped around her whole body but even that was dripping wet.

At that moment, her crimson red eyes met his black ones and both of them forgot what they were supposed to do.

It wasn’t until Amon heard screaming inside his mind from Vain as he sharply turned his head in embarrassment and Elizabeth rushed back inside with a red face.

A face that Amon was unable to see.

“”My bad!””.
