The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra - Chapter 197

Chapter 197: Void Training III [2]
***

Morning came and with it also opened Amon’s eyes.

Coming out of the room, like always, Katherine had already left and Lily was sleeping on the couch.

Waking her up by lightly dabbing her cheek, he quickly started cooking breakfast.

Meanwhile, Zephyra played with Lily and her toys.

Once they both were done with breakfast, Amon came into his room.

It was currently 10 AM.

‘It should be a good time to start now.’ Amon thought as he quickly opened his system.

And just like he thought, the timer wasn’t there anymore.

He could jump into [Void Training] whenever he wanted now.

Before falling asleep, he opened his messenger to check for any new updates.

Just like always, Charlotte and others were congratulating him for the win in the group chat.

Amon replied with an appreciation message and was about to close when he noticed Elizabeth’s separate DM.

He opened it up.

[Elizabeth: Hey Amon, I wanted to separately congratulate you for the Team Battle Win. It was a great performance and battle!]

There was another message below.

[Elizabeth: If you aren’t busy, can we meet up? I wanted to talk face-to-face with you about some things.]

Looking at her messages, Amon knew that she had probably realized her mistake later.

Whether she did it herself or her sister told her, he didn’t know.

But she had congratulated him now.

As for the second message, Amon wasn’t that oblivious.

Since they hadn’t spent that much time after ‘that’, she probably wanted to hang out with him.

It was a date basically. She was asking him out for that.

But she was hiding it with an apology for what she did tomorrow and to celebrate his win.

That was what Amon thought.

Unfortunately for her, she had picked the worst time she could to ask him out.

Sure, he had no problem going out to spend some time with her on any day.

Rather, it would help him sort out his feelings for her and give her a straight-up answer now that she was better.

But.

Today was the only day he could do [Void Training] and he wasn’t going to risk it for a date.

Some things just took more priority over others.

Especially since after this, there would be no free day in the whole week.

There was also the incoming event.

With that thought in mind, he quickly messaged Elizabeth back.

He could have just ghosted her, but he felt that would be weird for her.

Considering she knew that he used his watch a lot.

[Amon: Hey Elizabeth, appreciate the kind words. They mean a lot.]

[Amon: Unfortunately, it’s gonna be hard to hang out today. Am busy with some matters. Let’s do it on some other day.]

Sending the messages, he slumped back into his bed.

As he closed his eyes trying to sleep, he got a realization in his head.

It was how Elizabeth talked with her.

Unlike how he and others talked to each other, in a casual tone now, she still used to communicate with him in a formal tone.

He didn’t know why it was like that considering he also used casual with her.

But it was still just a random thought.

And then, he closed his eyes, waiting for sleep to come.

Until.

[Welcome to Void Training III]

***

As Amon opened his eyes, he found himself in the familiar Void expanse again.

A starless Void, filled with nothing but pitch-black darkness.

The constant echoing hum of the Void was pleasant to the ears for some reason.

Looking around, he received a similar notification again.

_________________________________

Initiating [Void Training].

Please prepare yourself.

_________________________________

Nodding, he looked to the side where the weapon rack appeared automatically.

Without any hesitation, he picked his trusty midnight black odachi.

As he got it from the shelf, another notification appeared.

___________________________

The Weapon [Odachi] has been selected.

Do you wish to confirm it as your weapon of choice?

Yes/No

___________________________

He nodded, confirming his choice.

‘Yes.’

The notification closed and immediately the expanse shook with a tremor.

Unlike previous times, Amon was prepared, not to lose his balance.

The hollow floor and sky disappeared, being replaced by sand and sand all around and a clear sky above.

With a large shining sun in the center, spreading its embrace over the whole expanse.

As far as he could see, only sand existed.

It stretched out over the whole Void.

The atmospheric features also shifted to accommodate the environment as the sudden cold quickly shifted to blazing heat.

Sweat was quick to pop out of Amon’s face, trickling down his face.

At the same time, another notification appeared in his view.

________________________________

-Blood

-Lightning

________________________________

Amon wasn’t surprised by the new additions.

The only thing that was a little shocking for him was the allowing of familiar arts.

He half-expected them to be not allowed.

But he wasn’t complaining. It was easier for him that way.

But as the window closed, Amon received another message.

____________________

‘What the fuck?’ Amon was surprised to see the new window.

He had never received it before.

But he quickly skimmed his eyes over it.

Interestingly, the objectives and side objectives were shown to him before the training this time.

It was a little better, considering he knew what to do.

However, the disadvantages were also severe.

Especially the time limit and water level.

10 hours to find the worms, kill them, and also obtain Queen’s Blood were insane.

It was a really short time.

Not only that but also the water level.

He knew there would be many factors affecting the water level that weren’t explained.

However, one he knew for sure was the proportional decrease of the level with his mana expenditure.

Also, the basic factor, which was how much he sweated.

‘I need to get out of this heat quickly.’ Amon thought.

‘Welp, we won’t know what to do unless we travel.’ He concluded his thoughts as he quickly started running in his desert travel suit.

But just as he took 3 steps, his feet started to sink in quicksand.

No, there was something below him.

It was like a whirling spiral below him as sand continued to suck down before he suddenly realized and jumped in the air.

And in the next second, a behemoth-sized worm erupted out of the sand, into the air, the fangs around its circular mouth spinning.

‘The welcome party is already here huh.’ Amon unsheated his nodachi.

Before launching forward.
