The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra - Chapter 206

Chapter 206: Thick Of It [2]
***

The group arrived at the mini-games section.

A whole floor was dedicated to the games, with many couples and students busy with various games.

“We are here,” Michael announced.

“Damn, this is so big.” Ren commented as he looked around and Alya nodded.

“I’m surprised it’s the first time you guys are coming here.” She said.

Amon looked at her.

“You have come here before?”

Charlotte nodded in her stead.

“Me, Alya, and Elizabeth used to come here a lot before we met you guys.”

“Oh, that’s great,” Michael said.

Amon was surprised.

Things and small events like these were never mentioned in my novel since they were always shown from Michael’s perspective.

But it was nice to see some things that happened on the sidelines.

“You guys have never been here?” Charlotte asked.

All three of them shook their heads.

“Nope, we used to roam around the ho-” Ren was quickly pulled by Michael, interrupting him.

It was stuff specifically only to be known by the boys.

Not sure if girls were supposed to know this stuff.

Fortunately, Amon quickly saved them all.

“We mostly just hung around in parks and at the swings, never came much to City Center.” He smiled.

“Oh..” Elizabeth exclaimed as if she had just found a new piece of information.

“That sounds fun, we didn’t know that!” Charlotte said excitedly.

“Yeah, it used to be a good stress release from the tiredness of the classes,” Michael said with a hand on Ren’s mouth.

Amon nodded with his response, trying to not let Ren get back into the conversation.

“Let’s go and try it together sometime as well.”

The trio nodded to Charlotte’s words and then Alya interrupted in, her voice hasty.

“Anyways, we don’t have time to waste, let’s go get the tickets already!”

The group laughed at her excited pouting face.

“Alright, let’s go.” Amon gestured towards the counter.

Arriving at the counter, they all quickly purchased loads of tickets.

They didn’t know how many times they were going to play so they just bought a load of them.

If they had any left they would just give them to the people around.

“Alright, which one should we try first?” Amon looked around.

But before he could say anything, Alya was quick to gesture toward a game.

It was a spot not far away from them where there was a large screen hanging from the ceiling.

And several colored tiles with arrows embedded in the floor.

Amon was familiar with it.

It was a dancing rhythm game. It was quite popular in his previous life.

“Let’s try that first, between you and me.” She smirked.

Amon looked at her smirk and a smile spread across his features.

“Sure.”

Listening to the challenge between the two, the whole group followed them to the dancing game.

There was a machine there where they quickly inputted their tickets.

A song display was quickly given to them to choose.

Looking at the vast variety of songs, Amon turned to Alya.

“Since you chose the game, you can choose the song.” He said.

Alya mockingly raised her brows.

“Are you sure? Not like the song matters anyway, I’ll beat you at all of them.”

“Yeah, sure, go ahead.” He said stoically.

“If you say so.”

Alya quickly ran over the catalog and picked a song.

It was I Am My Own Muse, a song that surprised Amon.

Like he had said before, hangouts and small events like these weren’t usually in the novel.

So he was seeing them in detail for the first time.

And he was surprised to find that the songs and other things were the exact same as the ones on Earth.

‘Guess the author lacked creativity…’ Amon said, as he stared at the familiar song.

It wasn’t his best one in this game, but he was okay in it.

Selecting the song, both of them quickly arrived at their places while the group stood before them.

But as the game was going to start, Ren called them out from behind.

“Wait wait wait, you two.”

Both of them looked over their shoulders to find Ren smiling mischievously.

“If you guys are going to do it seriously, we need some bets.”

Alya’s eyes immediately sparked up, her gambling nature rising up.

“That’s a great idea. Why not?”

Charlotte chuckled seeing Alya’s new side from behind.

“You never change do you Alya? Well, since we are doing this, I place a 1000 Exlor bet on Alya.”

Elizabeth was surprised to see Charlotte’s new side as well.

But seeing her do this, she relented as well.

“I’ll place a 1000 Exlor bet on Alya as well.” She said, looking at Amon apologetically.

Amon didn’t say anything though.

It was to be expected.

Even though they were friends, there was a boys vs girls rivalry between them.

And Elizabeth was expected to support Alya, not Amon.

It would be weird if she chose to support him since the rest of the group was still oblivious to what happened between them.

“You guys are confident in her huh? I’ll place 1000 Exlor bet on my homie as well.” Ren patted Amon’s back.

Michael joined in as well, albeit with a little hesitation.

“I-I’ll do the same.” He patted Amon’s back while sneakily glancing at Alya.

‘What a twin-con.’ Amon clicked his tongue.

As they were about to begin though, two inner voices came from within as well.

[Go my guy, she shouldn’t even be a problem for you.] Vain commented from within.

However, Zephyra was quick to interrupt.

[Hmph! You are taking her too lightly since she’s a woman.]

But Vain rebutted back.

[No, I use that woman joke on only you, since you are too dumb to be even called a woman, let alone a goddess.]

Amon restrained a sudden laugh.

Vain wasn’t just a snake for no reason huh?

[You….I can’t with you two. In any case, watch Alya win and you will realize.]

[You should be ashamed for going against your owner.]

‘For real.’ Amon chimed in this time.

[I support my girls more.] Zephyra excused.

Vain hissed, as if he was clicking his tongue.

[What a traitor. You see this Amon?]

‘Yeah man, I didn’t expect this….It hurts.’ Amon replied with a fake hurt voice.

[This is why you should only trust your guys.] Vain said with a sad voice.

Before Zephyra could reply back though, a starting sound came from the screen.

And Amon got ready.

‘I’m going to take this lightly.’ He thought.

He had no plans to win this game anyway. It wasn’t his strong point nor was the song a good choice.

He would just gauge her abilities since they were never showcased properly in the novel.

And then, the game started with the rhythms starting to play.

Alya’s feet immediately blurred as she started to get all sequences correct.

Amon followed suit, however he didn’t put much effort into it, only observing Alya.

The whole set was built with anti-mana materials, so mana couldn’t be used.

It was a pure physical test.

And as an archer, Alya’s legs were fast as well.

And so, the game continued.

Amon and Alya remained on the same pace for the first minute but then, he started to lag behind.

He ignored the shouts of Michael and Vain and just focused on Alya.

He was intentionally not giving it his all.

Finally, the song passed and the game came to an end.

Alya jumped in joy as she was declared the winner.

“Hah! I won!” She gave Amon a victorious smirk.

Amon scoffed.

“Congratulations but it’s only the first game, what are you being cocky about?”

“Congratulations Alya, both of you did great!” Charlotte clapped.

“Yeah, it was a close competition.” Elizabeth clapped.

“What happened to you? You were out of focus.” Michael asked after giving Alya a happy congratulations as well.

She thanked him with a faint blush back.

However, before Amon could say anything, Ren joined in.

“This guy wasn’t even giving it his all. He was just testing her out.”

The voice was only loud enough to be heard by Michael and he was surprised.

“Huh, what?”

[What?]

Vain was surprised as well.

Even Amon was surprised on how Ren found out about this. He tried his best to make it seem as if he was giving it his all.

Ren only shrugged.

“I don’t get concrete proof of course. I’m just telling what I believe in, I refuse to believe this guy could fail that easily.”

Michael was confused.

“How can you say that without any source though?”

Ren quickly replied back.

“Source: Trust me, bro.”

Amon broke into a laugh at his response. It was something used by him as well.

“How about I pick a game now?” He asked Alya.

She shrugged mockingly.

“Sure, go ahead. Pick any you want.”

Amon restrained a smirk.

He knew how good she was now.

“Let’s do air hockey then.” He gestured to a game in the middle and Alya broke into a grin.

“Of course, why not?”

As Ren and Michael paid their bets, the group headed toward the table.

And as the arrived at the table and handed the tickets, Amon rolled up his sleeves.

New bets were about to be placed now.

And Elizabeth and Charlotte put more bets on Alya this time, confident in her ability to win.

Seeing them, a grin spread across Amon’s features as he gripped the paddle.

“Ren and Mikey…” He called them both.

“Get ready for a money shower…”
