The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra

Chapter 23: Clovist Training [2]



****

Amon looked at all of them with reverie and respect.

All of them had fought in the Great War, the first war between humans and ghouls.

As the head of all teachers, Athena was the one to speak up on their behalf.

"Now that you all are here, we will start your clovist training. The first step is simple, you all have to mediate in this mana surrounding for 2 hours." She debriefed them.

In order to make them understand better, she explained further.

"These grounds have multiple times the mana density outside, you have to open your mana pores and absorb the surrounding mana. This technique is called mana breathing."

"Sit on the ground a considerable distance from each other and close your eyes. Try to feel the surrounding mana around you and pull it towards you, the pores on your body will open up with this step, as if welcoming the mana." She explained.

Amon saw that the normal students were still a little confused but they chose to heed her advice and started to sit at a certain distance from each other.

For the noble students though, their faces were impassive, as if already knowing mana breathing was.

And they did.

As soon as a person awakened in a noble household, their parents would make them meditate daily in high mana-density surroundings.

This gave them a huge jumpstart over other students as their mastery in mana breathing was already high by this time.

The trio also started to sit at a distance from each other without any trace of confusion in their eyes.

For Michael, he was a royal so he already knew of this technique.

Ren was taught by his sister and for Amon, he already knew about the technique from the novel.

Closing his eyes, Amon tried to feel the surrounding mana around him.

Initially, he felt nothing around him no matter how hard he tried.

However, he soon felt a wobbly substance all around him.

It was an astonishing feat.

Usually, it would take several hours for a normal student with a normal talent to feel mana around them.

However, just like Michael, he had no problem getting his first feel of mana in a few minutes of starting.

It was only because of this body, which had such a high talent now because of Zephyra.

The mana around him felt like a gooey, wobbly thick fog.

Following the next part of Athena's advice, Amon tried to pull the mana towards him.

Unfortunately, it wasn't that easy as the mana kept getting out of control.

However, he still didn't open his eyes and give up.

Fortunately, after multiple retries, he finally felt a small amount of mana pull toward him.

For some strange reason, at the same moment, he felt a sharp mental pierce upon his back, as if someone was watching him,

Still not opening his eyes, Amon ignored the feeling and focused on the mana.

After multiple small constant pulls of mana, he finally felt a small suctioning force around him, an indication that he had finally taken the first step in mana breathing.

For 2 hours, he used every bit of his focus to pull the mana towards him, strengthening and elongating his pull by each minute.

There was not a speck of sound around him, with everyone focusing on themselves.

The nobles, as he said earlier, had a much calm and composed expression on their faces, as if already used to this.

Finally, Athena's voice cut through the air, signaling the end of meditation.

"That's it! You can all open up your eyes now."

In tandem, everyone's eyes fluttered open, making them finally realize what was happening around them.

Those who experienced mana breathing for the first time were covered in sweat because of their bodies experiencing pure mana.

Clapping her hands to get their attention, she voiced out once more.

"Now all of you will do a light spar with one of the teachers here." She explained before gesturing to the teachers beside her.

"For water clovists, you will fight Madam Samantha."

All students' eyes' moved towards the respective woman.

With short blue hair and eyes, she waved towards them with a light smile.

She was one of the war heroes.

Moving on, Athena gestured to a man, who was standing right besides Samantha.

With fiery red hair and crimson eyes, he had a tanned bulky body with a diagonal scar running across his face.

"For fire clovists, you will fight Sir Maxwille."

Amon recognized him instantly as he was an influential retired figure from the Imperial

Military.

Once a Captain in the military, he was also one of the war heroes.

She then gestured to another man besides Maxwille.

"For Earth Clovists, you will fight Sir Owen."

With a chest and body bulkier than Maxwille, Owen stood tall with a stony expression on his

face.

Then, Athena gestured to a woman next to Owen.

"And for wind clovists, you will fight Madam Aya."

With long black hair and eyes, Aya stood with a light smile on her face.

Out of all the teachers, she had the weakest presence but Amon instantly recognized her.

Except for Athena, Amon knew that Aya could easily beat any teacher who was standing here. Once a temporary Brigadier in the Military for the war, Aya was also the closest friend of

Athena.

Her wind mastery and experience were incomparable, even among some of the highest- ranked wind clovists in the human empire.

And finally, Athena gestured toward the last teacher, a man standing next to Aya.

"And for derivant element clovists, they will fight Sir Daniel."

With clean blonde hair and golden eyes, Daniel had a bored expression on his face,

Amon knew him.

He was one of the first villains that Michael would face inside the academy.

Though he acted bored and dumb on the outside, he was a scheming figure inside the

academy.

Amon's attention to him was quickly taken when Athena clapped once more and told them to

form a single line in front of each teacher.

Sighing at having such an early encounter already with a villain, Amon quickly got his place in

the small line in front of Daniel.

And with that, the sparring with teachers finally began.

The first one to go up against Daniel was....

Elizabeth Snowcrest.
