The Extra's Odyssey Chapter 84 [Bonus Chapter] The Calm.... [3]

Fwosh-

My hair fluttered from the winds.

Sitting on a bench I gazed at the three moons. They reminded me of Irregulars.

"So, Isabell's dad was Demon Hunter and Mia is the first disciple of Grandmaster Yui."

Eth's memory gave me a lot of information that wasn't told in the novel.

In the novel, it was only said that Leon was the 2nd disciple and the 1st disciple had been banished. It wasn't even hinted that Mia could be the 1st disciple.

"At least I now know how Isabell got into Goliath Unit."

Goliath Unit was filled with monsters. All of them were pseudo-Irregulars. The only odd one in the group was Isabell, who was too weak.

I never understood how she even got into the Goliath Unit, given how weak she was. But I finally knew now.

"Aegis brought her into the unit thinking that she might have inherited some of her dad's abilities. They must have wanted to keep a close watch on her."

Stigmas can't be inherited. This was a basic law.

But Irregulars had already destroyed the common sense regarding Stigmas. The power they wielded was unimaginably strong.

It wasn't wrong to think that the children of an Irregular might be special too.

"It's weird how the gaps of novels are being filled."

The things that weren't told in the novel. The first disciple, Mia, and Isabell's dad, Demon Hunter Daniel.

It was almost as if the gaps were filled in a way that closely connected them to the story.

Fwwooooosh-

"It's too windy. I should head back"

I muttered while covering my face, but I decided to check one last thing before going back.

"Let's see what your activation conditions are."

I brought out the Golem core from my ring.

It looks like a mechanical ball made of gears. I can hear the sound of shifting gears from it.

Its status window popped up, but the activation conditions were still question marks.

Ignoring the question marks, I used the latest skill I received.

"[Appraisal]"

Immediately, the question marks cleared up.

======

Golem Core [3-Star]

- Traits: [Anti-Magic Field], [Regeneration], [Evolver]

- Activation Condition: 100 Iota-rank cores Essence OR 1000 Meta-rank cores Essence

======

After using the appraisal, the activation condition of the core showed up.

"100 Iota-rank cores Essence OR 1000 Meta-rank cores Essence? It's not hard to get, but it will be costly."

Essence was the extracted liquid from Aether cores.

"I already need to return to the Black t-shirt gang. I'll ask them to buy the essence for me then."

I had to make a deal with them regarding the Elixir pool.

The Elixir Pool in 'Conqueror's Trial' only gives a limited amount of elixir at once.

If I took more than allowed all the Elixir I have will burn out on its own.

I'll be using the manpower of the gang to extract it and save my time and energy.

In the novel, the pool was emptied by Tristan. He uses it to step into the business world and become one of the giants there.

"I need to find Tristan in the Gladiator Championship, too. If I let him go in search of the dungeon, I'll lose all his tracks."

There will be a Gladiator Championship in the Underworld in a few weeks. Tristan will lose there and then go on a journey penniless.

It will then that he finds 'Conqueror's Trial'. The issue was I don't know how long it will take him to find the dungeon.

I need to nab him before the tournament ends.

Fwooooosh-

"Huuuu….It's getting cold."

I went back to the library.

"They are still sleeping. Should I use appraisal?"

Looking at Susan, Lilith, and Leon, I pondered.

But I ultimately decided against it.

Putting the issue about the person feeling a gaze upon them while appraisal is being used aside, the problem here was Leon.

He had abnormally high perception and sensitivity.

It wouldn't be weird for him to feel the activation of appraisal even when the skill is not being used on him.

Using appraisal with Leon here just wasn't worth the risk.

[Appraisal] was the utility skill Leon received in the novel. After fighting the boss and getting the legacy skill, he will fall in to pit 'accidentally'.

Then, his head will collide against the hard surface of the pool floor.

And voila. He gets [Appraisal].

"d.a.m.n protagonist luck. If it was me, forget about getting the skill. I might die from having my head cracked open."

This skill was going to be very useful to him.

But it wasn't like Earth will be destroyed or he will die if he didn't have it.

So, I decided to take it.

***

Morning came by in a flash, and Lilith and Susan left.

Around 10 am, Leon and I left to get fresh and eat something.

Later in the noon, we gathered back in the library to study. Lilith and Susan joined in a few hours late. Shortly followed by Cadmus.

The complete main cast, except Anna, and I continued to gather in the library for seven days.

My face scrunched up whenever I realized I was with them.

Ultimately, though, I didn't do anything to flee them.

I was already dead tired of trying to stay away from them.

Haven't I been doing the same for the past few months? The result?

Susan was now thinking of me as a recruitment officer. While Leon and Lilith keep coming after me and taking care of me like they are my mothers.

'f.u.c.k ignoring them. I'll just do things at my own pace.'

Throughout our study sessions, Cadmus also came every day.

He wasn't here to study, but his goal was to get familiar with Leon.

Watching Leon talking with Cadmus, I could only sigh at his idiocy. Was Leon not realizing how badly he was shooting himself in the foot?

From Cadmus' perspective on our table, Cadmus, Susan, and I were the Aura users. While Leon and Lilith were Mana users.

Lilith, as a mana user, couldn't keep up with us and had to go to sleep.

Yet Leon had been studying with me nonstop. He never slept for even a second in the past seven days.

Cadmus was coming here to see Leon's limit, and Leon was showing it openly.

I didn't intervene, though. I was more worried about myself.

Usually, to pa.s.s exams, your written and practical scores are combined.

But my transfer into the Research Department from the Combat Department was abrupt.

As a result, my practicals were canceled.

Leon has a chance to do well in practicals and pa.s.s.

But If I failed in written exams I will fail the mid-terms!

Like this, the day of trial finally arrived.
