The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra - Chapter 160

Chapter 160: Single Battles [4]
***

Klein walked on the stage, his steps silently resounding in his ears.

Currently, all the cheers and jeers inside his head had died down.

He didn’t care about the midterms.

Sure, 300 cadets would be expelled but he knew he wouldn’t fail that far anyway.

He only had one girl in his mind right now.

And it was his mother, Samantha’s recovery.

Everything else in the world could go to hell right now.

Years ago, when they were stripped of their barony status, his parents were forcibly fed a poison as well.

It was a slow acting virus.

Which meant that it would devour the person slowly.

The poison was known as Mana Poisoning.

A concept that worked on the same basis as Daniel’s Wraith Poisoning.

Both were supposed to corrupt the target’s mana pathways, however the mana poisoning was a little bit weaker.

In any case, slowly and slowly the condition of his parents worsened.

Especially his father.

And so, by using the little funds they had left, they were able to cure him.

But unfortunately, there was nothing left for his mother.

Due to that, he and his siblings were daily trying to scrape off any money for his mother’s recovery.

Their father was still in a wheelchair, so it made him incapable of doing any labor.

Klein clenched his fists.

The last thing he would accept in this world was to let his mother die.

As he walked up to his opponent, Klein completely ignored her.

And let his gaze roam over in all the stands.

Since he was scheduled to fight later…

Then he should be….

Ah.

There.

Klein found him.

Amon Ashford, his only hope right now.

Just like everyone in their class, even Klein had noticed the glow up of Amon.

His facial features had gotten sharper and he had also grown taller.

The tied up hair into a manbun gave him a clean and sleek look.

Klein could even feel some girls trying to sneak some glances at him.

But they were all stopped by the beautiful blue-haired lady next to him.

She completely outclassed every other woman.

Burying those thoughts with a shake, Klein looked at Amon again.

That man…

He was the only one here who could help him recover his mother.

And to prove his worth and wealth to him…

All of a sudden, Amon’s black eyes moved and locked with Klein.

Both of them stared into each other’s eyes as if knowing what the other wanted to say.

And slowly, Amon’s face pulled up into a small smile.

Klein turned back to his opponent, staring her coldly in the face.

He was going to crush his opponent right here and now.

***

Amon stared at Klein from hard with a hint of incredulity on his face.

‘Well damn..’ He thought.

He hadn’t expected this kind of development.

Who knew that the person whom he wanted to go to, wanted to come to him himself.

Not like Amon was against it.

It saved him a lot of time and effort.

But…

The cogs inside Amon’s head started to spin. He was trying to figure out the reason.

The reason why he wanted to meet him.

[He probably wants to ask for more money.] Zephyra pointed out.

Amon nodded.

True. That was a possibility.

But from what Amon remembered, he mostly needed the money for his mother’s recovery.

‘This makes no sense at all..’ Amon said.

The money he gave Klein previously was enough to last him quite a while.

And if he remembered correctly, Klein’s mother’s condition wasn’t supposed to decay this quickly.

But it was then that he realized.

It was Amon’s fault.

The interference with Klein’s plotline early on had triggered some change in it.

‘Whatever.’ Amon concluded.

For now, he would only wait and see.

His mind focused back on the fight, where the referee was starting it.

“Begin!” He shouted.

Immediately, Klein dived to the side. All the while conjuring several water spears around him.

Without hesitation, he fired them at his opponent who tried her best to avoid the water.

She was a fire elemental clovis after all.

As Rihanna, the fire mage raised her hand to block the water spears, she was assaulted by Klein.

He zoomed through the ground in a steak of bubbles, launching an arm toward Rihanna.

Having no experience in physical defense, she tried her best to maintain her distance.

But Klein wasn’t having any of that as the whole ground around him was suddenly covered in water.

But before he could do anything, his danger sense went off and he turned to the side,

A whizzing fire arrow cut through the air, slicing his cheek open.

But that wasn’t all.

It was a whole barrage

Klein could condense water into ice but that took over a half minute to make.

And he didn’t know if he could stop the arrows using just a water shield.

But, rather than being frustrated, he smirked.

Just as the arrows were a meter away, Klein slid at the slipper wet ground.

Dashing out of the arrows, Klein didn’t waste any time.

He blocked the relentless barrage of Rihanna to try and get closer to her.

It left him with scratches and some occasional wounds.

But at the end, it was in his favor as he finally neared Rihanna.

The latter, noticing this, tried to leap back but was surprised when two chains made of water erupted from the ground.

They completely locked around her legs, keeping her in place and throwing her off balance.

As she stumbled, Klein also inserted a leg from underneath to help her completely fall.

And as she fell, multiple water spears impaled her arms and legs.

Klein arrived before her.

He knew that she could heal instantly in the infirmary.

This is why things like this were allowed in the midterms.

Klein started coldly into Rihanna’s eyes.

He didn’t want to do it like this.

But anything to save his mother.

Anything to gain his attention again.

Klein looked into Rihanna’s eyes, bringing his water sword near her neck.

“Forfeit or do you want to continue.”

The girl, Rihana, tried to hide her pain from the injuries and looked at Klein with pleading eyes.

“Please, please! Do not injure me more! I forfeit.”

“I forfeit!” She shouted again, crawling back on her arms before standing up.

At her words, the referee looked at Klein, confirming his condition.

And then, he raised his hand.

“The winner is Klein Sinclaire!”

And just like Adam’s time, the whole stadium went silent for a couple of moments again.

It was because of his overwhelming display of control and power.

And as he stared forward in the silent arena, suddenly, Klein heard the sound of clapping in the stands.

Only a single person.

And as he looked up to see who it was, his eyes widened.

It was Amon Ashford, sporting a genuine smile on his face.
