The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra - Chapter 21

Chapter 21: Tears For Someone Lost In Time [2]
****

As tears poured out of Amon’s eyes, he felt a hand rest upon his back.

The sudden touch jolted him awake from his memories, his face drifting upwards.

Looking up, he met the confused and slightly worried gray eyes of Elizabeth.

Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, she asked him.

“Are you okay?”

Snapping back to reality, his head wandered around, finding all of them looking at him with worry.

Without a word of answer to her question, he abruptly stood up from his seat.

“Excuse me, something just got to me. Please enjoy the dinner without me.” He excused himself without looking in their eyes and quickly walked to his room, locking the door.

Slumping in his bed, he cursed himself for what had happened.

‘Fuck…..’

Zephyra quickly talked to him in his head.

[It’s not your fault, you didn’t expect it to be so overwhelming.]

Amon did not answer back, keeping silent.

Rather his mind drifted towards his sister again, however this time he held back the tears.

‘I hope you are doing fine.’ He wished for her well-being, wherever she was at the moment.

Not having any face to go outside and face them again, he buried his face in the pillow, waiting for sleep to come.

Fortunately, it did and his eyes blissfully drifted to rest.

*****

The slanted morning rays from the window cast themselves upon Amon’s eyes, making them twitch and flutter open.

‘It’s morning already…..’ He complained, wanting to sleep a bit more.

[Yes, which is why you need to wake up or you’ll be late otherwise.] Zephyra lectured him in his mind.

Remembering what happened last night, he quickly sat up on the bed.

He felt a little bad for not only ignoring Elizabeth but also suddenly leaving all of them last night.

Deciding that he would apologize to her in class, he quickly got out of bed and headed into the shower without a word.

After 30 minutes, he came outside of his room, donning his academy uniform.

[See? You didn’t even care about anything in the shower today.] The void goddess’ voice echoed.

Finding no answer to her words, he kept silent.

Finally, he replied to her with an excuse and focused on what was ahead of him.

‘Shut up.’

Surprisingly, he found out that Katherine had already left for her duties.

Student council duties were truly hard, he sighed.

Walking to the kitchen, he quickly made a bread and jam sandwich for himself since he was in a hurry.

Quickly eating through the sandwich, he washed everything up and left the apartment.

During his whole way to campus, he didn’t see any sign of Elizabeth, making him think that she might have already gone to class.

Arriving at the campus gate, he saw Michael arriving from the other side of the road.

“Hey!” He greeted, running up to him with a bright smile.

Amon smiled back and raised his hand to greet him.

“Hey, had a good morning?”

“Yeah, I’m glad I didn’t wake up late.” Michael joined him and they both started to walk through the gate.

At his words, Amon suddenly remembered that in the early days of his being weak, Michael would often stay up till late at night, training.

Due to this, he would often be late for classes.

Suddenly, both of them heard a call from behind.

“Yo!”

Simultaneously turning back, they saw Ren running up to them, waving his hand to greet them.

A considerable distance behind him was Athena, who was walking slowly in an elegant manner.

Amon saw her eye the trio for a second, as if observing and evaluating them.

Her eyes met his, and her gaze lingered for a few moments.

Suddenly, he felt her lips curl into a light smile for a fraction for a second.

However before he could confirm his eyes, she was already gazing ahead, completely ignoring the three.

Feeling a chill creep up his spine with small interaction, Amon quickly removed his gaze from her.

Ren finally joined up with them.

“You guys had a good sleep last night?” He asked with a casual smile.

Both of the boys in question nodded back with a light smile.

“Nice, I stayed up for a while last night so I feel like going to sleep already.” He complained while doing a fake yawn.

Together, all three of them walked to class.

Entering it, a multitude of gazes were cast their way.

However, the trio was so engrossed in their conversation that they completely ignored what was happening around them.

While talking, Amon took a quick glance around the class and saw that they were the last to arrive.

Minutes before the class started.

Arriving near the first table, he found the top 4 rankers to be already seated.

And funnily enough, all of them were looking at them, probably because of their slightly loud voice.

Unfortunately, the trio were too engrossed in themselves to notice anything around them.

But fortunately, just as they were about to pass the first table, Amon remembered that he had to talk to Elizabeth.

“You two go ahead, I’ll come in a minute. Need to talk to someone.” He excused himself and both of them nodded back, starting to climb the stairs without him.

He quickly turned left to face the first table next to him.

Feeling his gaze towards them, all of them turned their heads to look at him.

Amon supressed a gulp of nervousness and walked towards Elizabeth, who was sitting at the far end of the table.

Alya and Charlotte eyed with confusion while Liliana looked at him with disdain and disgust.

Ignoring all of them, he arrived in front of the seated Elizabeth, who looked at him with confusion but also a little bit of worry for what happened last night.

Seeing him arrive close to her, he felt all of the classroom gaze at his back, even Michael and Ren.

Pushing them to the back of his mind, he opened his mouth.

“Hey, ahhhh I just wanted to apologise for what happened last night. Something got to me and I didn’t know what happened in the heat of the moment.”

And before she could respond back, he bowed very slightly.

“And so I hope you can forgive me if I offended you in any way.”

Elizabeth, in turn, was at a loss of words.

She knew he was probably here to apologise but now that he did, she found herself unable to answer.

Fortunately, she quickly composed herself and waved her hand, as if indicating it was okay.

“Ah it’s alright, I understand what happened. No need to apologize.”

Nodding with a light smile at her apology, Amon thanked her and then quickly headed towards his seat, joining Michael and Ren.

Just as Ren was about to ask him what happened, the classroom door opened once more and Athena entered.

Arriving at the podium, she looked up towards the class, scanning them.

Amon knew what today’s first class was going to be about.

Electives.
