The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra

Chapter 142: Preparations [1]



***

[After 1 Month]

Amon stood in a large training field with his group of friends.

It had been a whole month after the trip incident and till now, things were proceeding smoothly.

Of course, there had been quite many changes.

For one, his training sessions with Athena had finally started.

They hadn't really started on the main stuff yet as she was still teaching the basics of spatial -control.

After all, it was difficult and even one mess-up could throw the whole area around you into chaos.

To his pleasant surprise, Ren was also included in the training.

Athena told him that he wouldn't train with her otherwise and was always goofing off.

Using Amon as a motivational catalyst would do him good.

And it did as Ren always came to training to try and get one up on Amon.

Of course, the [Void] training was held two hours before Ren's arrival which was why Amon always arrived early.

There were still 3 weeks before the mid-terms so Amon wanted to keep it under wraps for

now.

Moving on, the second change was the surprise of everyone to find that he was a 3rd order

now.

It wasn't that big of an achievement if you looked at it from an ordinary person's perspective.

However, achieving 3rd order from 1st order in just 3 months was phenomenal.

A person might just call him a prodigy now.

It even raised some suspicions from people about this unprecedented growth.

He was on 1st order for 3 years but suddenly leaped to 3rd order in 3 months?

Yes, it was quite suspicious and he was even accused of using some illegal drugs.

However, they never spread that far because just one testament from his friend group was enough to shut them all up.

And if that wasn't enough, the monthly physical and mana evaluation of the cadets was also enough.

If Amon used drugs, his mana pathways would be clogged and messed up.

But to their shock, he was perfectly fine without a single fault.

In the end, they just had to swallow and accept this fact.

Everybody knew that the last person ranking on his name was just for display now.

With that rank, he was among the top 10 of the year.

But he wasn't the only one that caught the people's surprise.

Ren and Michael also followed after him soon enough.

Michael also reached tier 3, 3 weeks after Amon's rank up while Ren was at the edge of ranking up.

Although he didn't have the system, Amon felt that Ren was a person who couldn't be judged from his rank.

Despite his being 2nd order, he could copy seven elements consecutively for 1 minute.

Something that even Michael and Amon couldn't do.

Amon's thoughts moved back to the present as he saw the professor explain the task of the day.

His name was Ray Artorius, the martial arts professor who had been away in the early months.

He had finally come back a few weeks ago.

"Today's lesson is just sparring in pairs. Form a pair of two and get into one of the circles on the ground." He instructed.

Everyone nodded.

Amon quickly looked around for a pair.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

His eyes locked with Elizabeth but the latter quickly averted her gaze.

For some reason, ever since 'that', she was acting awkward around him.

Even running away sometimes.

Sighing, he chose to leave her alone for now and tried to look for someone else.

Eventually, his gaze locked with Ren, who also looked back.

"Yo bro, wanna pair up?" He waved his hand.

"Sure."

They quickly headed over to one circle, standing opposite each other.

As everyone took their places, Ray's voice boomed inside the grounds.

"You aren't allowed to shoot your magic, though you can use it to reinforce your body to

some extent. This is just a pure hand-to-hand combat session. Don't take it over the line." He

cautioned.

Nodding, Amon looked at Ren.

"Ready to get smoked?" He asked, grinning.

Amon scoffed.

"As if lil bro." He rolled up his sleeves.

"The dual will end if one forfeit or one pushes the other to the ground. With that, you may

begin."

Amon quickly took on a stance and coated his arms in blood.

Though one could say there were grave limitations on Ren in his [Copy] element, he was just

as dangerous in that regard as well.

For one, Ren was the only person in the world known to the public that could be both an Armentist and Clovist.

He could be both at the same time as well.

Not only that but one could never be ready for how he would fight.

The future Ren was able to touch people and even store their elements for a certain period.

Amon suppressed a gulp. He was truly a force to be reckoned with.

As the dual began, Ren leaped at Amon immediately.

The latter focused on the present and quickly grabbed the wrist of Ren who was trying to grab

his shirt.

Amon tried to twist it but was taken by surprise when the wrist refused to budge.

He looked back and his eyes widened.

The wrist...

It was coated in crystal now.

In the next moment, a crystal-coated palm connected with Amon's stomach.

Fortunately, he was able to quickly coat it in blood and reduce the impact, taking Ren by

surprise.

Ducking, he did a clean leg sweep, knocking Ren off balance.

But twisting his body in the air, Ren put one hand on the ground before pushing himself in the

air.

He landed on the ground perfectly fine but was taken aback as Amon was already an inch away from his face.

Fortunately, his quick reflexes quickly kicked in as he arched his body back, letting the punch

pass harmlessly.

Thereafter, he coiled his legs around Amon and grabbed his head with his arms.

And then...

Roll!

Ren rolled back, pinning Amon to the ground.

But it was only for a split moment as Amon quickly maneuvered his body and escaped out of

his grip.

They wrestled on the ground for quite a few moments before finally, Amon pulled Ren into a

lock and pinned him down.

Ren wriggled but was unable to escape no matter how hard he tried.

And then...

Ray whistled.

"Amon Ashford wins."

2nd Chapter might be late by a few hours.

I'm not feeling well today.

Thank you.
