The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra - Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Constitution Change And Rewards [3]
***

Amon pondered hard on which element to choose.

Considering he had 2 elemental points, he could choose Sound and Crystal together.

Crystal was a good choice for his defense because he was beaten up a lot of times for not having enough defense.

There was also Sound.

Sound was a perfect element for countering hard state elements like Earth and Ice as demonstrated by Daniel before.

Using his element, he had completely shattered the ice spikes of Elizabeth.

It was also very good for surprise attacks in close combat, especially so now that Daniel demonstrated using elemental mana to coat your fists.

He could deliver sonic booms to a person’s body by just punching them, making them feel the force multiple times.

Ice manipulation was basically a useless choice as there was barely any place you could find it.

The only scenario where this would be useful was in cold places but that was a grave limitation compared to other good elements.

So that was a no.

But then, there were also 2-point elements.

The first option was Energy.

It was one of the most versatile elements out there.

Initially allowing him to control the energy in his and his opponents attacks, it would allow him to stack and even release it later on.

It was basically an extremely advanced version of mana manipulation.

Last time, the only reason he hadn’t picked the element was because he felt his [Void] element would overlap with the Energy element, which was to destroy anything, even energy.

But this confusion was later cleared to him by Zephyra that he could use them both separately, and with enough mastery, the energies wouldn’t overlap.

The only downside of the Energy element was that it consumed a lot of mana and it was extremely hard to control for the current him.

So, this time it was a very good choice.

Next was Gravity Manipulation.

Gravity manipulation didn’t really appeal to him when compared with Energy.

Sure, it would make his enemies heavier and he could also make himself lighter as well using the element.

It was basically push and pull and though it was a very good element for him to pick later, he couldn’t do it right now because of ‘that’.

With the blood element being 50% useless right now, he needed an extremely good element to survive what was about to come ahead.

In the end, he let go of this option as well.

The last choice was Nature manipulation, which overall was a good element when standing in a natural botanical environment.

After studying it a little further, he came to know that the element basically allowed him to control the plants and nature around him.

They could be used to make vines or even cast natural illusions and effects upon the opponent.

It was a versatile element for sure. But just like Ice, it was useless if he wasn’t in its attributed environment.

In the first place, it didn’t even make sense for it to cost 2 points.

But he could only helplessly shrug at the system’s decision.

After pondering on it for long, he finally made his decision.

“I’m done.” He told Zephyra but before she could say something, he brought up a question.

“Will I be able to pick elements again in the future?” He asked.

According to his observations till now, the system only granted him the ability to choose elements after an assimilation.

So, if he ever got the chance to pick elements again it would be after another assimilation.

Assimilation was probably a body constitution change if he had to guess.

He looked back at her and she shrugged.

“Like I said before Amon, I only have partial control over the system. But if I had to make a guess, your body is still not enough to handle Void which means you will get another assimilation.”

She raised a finger and smiled.

“So you should probably get an element choice, though remember I’m not sure.”

He nodded.

If he had to be honest, Energy and Gravity were the best elements on the list to pick right now.

However, he couldn’t pick them up.

This was because of the upcoming main arc.

He wasn’t sure of accomplishing it at first. And after losing 50% of his blood element now, he was sure that he would get obliterated.

Daniel was a 5th-order clovist with a Sound element of the maker type.

As someone who was involved in his lessons now, Amon was sure that he would have to interfere in the attack.

After this Void Training and Zephyra’s explanation, he was made sure of one thing.

It was that he wasn’t an Extra anymore in this world anymore. People were noticing him and he was also getting involved in schemes.

Just cause he wasn’t from this world didn’t mean he was safe.

And because of that, he knew now that he would also have to act in Daniel’s defeat.

He needed to fight and expose his powers. He needed to climb the ranks and get stronger.

He needed to accept being a part of this world now. He wasn’t an orphan anymore.

He was Amon Ashford.

Daniel had him as a target in his eyes now. And to survive against him, he needed an element.

He was in desperate need of defense. Without it, he was getting obliterated.

Gravity and Energy were going to be unable to counter his Sound element.

The former was especially useless because of the disparity in their strengths.

As such, he needed an element that would protect him against his sound element.

A defensive element.

And that was Crystal.

So, he had to let go of Energy and Gravity for now. He hoped they would be available in the next choices.

He turned to Zephyra again.

“Can I stock my points?”

She shook his head causing him to click his tongue.

Well if he couldn’t then…

That only left him with [Sound].

“Alright.”

He turned to her.

“I’m done with my decision.”

And he selected [Sound] and [Crystal].
