Chapter 31: Elective [1]



****

Finally being done with the girl, Amon handed her the chocolate box and waved her off.

The girl lightly waved back, a little bit sad at his waving.

But she was happy when he told her that he would come back again tomorrow.

Taking a last look at her, he turned and started to leave.

However, as soon as he walked a few steps he felt a piercing gaze upon his back.

Sweat started to trickle down on the side of his face/

He gulped at the pressure weighing upon his back.

He knew that whoever it was, they weren't that much stronger.

But if he was to turn back right now and face them, he would undoubtedly lose.

With this thought in mind, he started to act normal and not notice them.

With his cane tapping in the silence of the dark streets, he walked a little bit quicker, eager to get out of this part.

Fortunately, nothing happened except the stare continuing to pierce at his back, making his hair stand up.

Finally, as he turned a corner, the gaze disappeared as if it was never there.

He still didn't want to take any chances right now though.

And so he walked further until he finally got out of the dangerous streets and entered the normal secluded ones.

After 15 minutes of continuously walking further, he changed his clothes at a corner.

He was nearing the developed part now, so there was not much danger now.

And so, he headed out of the City Centre as well, now running towards his apartment.

Amon opened his apartment door, finally arriving back.

Unfortunately, he wasn't spared as he saw a questioning Katherine waiting for him in the lounge.

"Where were you at? It's so late in the night." She asked, surprisingly in a calm tone.

He had expected to get flayed but she wasn't that angry.

"Was hanging out with friends at their apartment. Didn't realize the time, am really sorry." He pleaded with a fake innocent face.

She looked at him for some seconds in silence, before sighing lightly.

"At least inform me beforehand so that I wouldn't worry idiot." She requested.

Amon nodded with an apologizing smile.

"I understand."

Then, she gestured towards the kitchen counter where some plates of food were placed.

"I already ate with Alice outside, but I cooked food for you. You can eat it."

He nodded.

He was really hungry after the whole day of roaming around.

Walking to his room, he quickly changed into some casual clothes after a quick shower.

Also ignoring the continuous teases inside his head by a certain goddess when showering.

Settling down on the table, he looked at the bowl of noodles placed in front of him. Looking at the normal noodles in front of him, he suddenly felt a creepy sensation in his spine.

For some reason, he suddenly felt like something bad was going to happen, even though there

was no reason.Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

A pang of fear assaulted his chest next for no reason.

He didn't realize why this was happening.

Trying to ignore the feeling, he swallowed a mouthful of noodles.

His mouth immediately went rigid and his face became a pale color.

The food.....

It was disgusting.

[Nope, nothing at all.]

He shrugged at her response and walked to campus alone.

And just like last time, he found Ren and Michael at the entrance.

"Yo! What's up y'all?" Ren was the first one to greet, in a casual tone.

"Yo, am pretty good." Amon greeted back, also using a casual tone which made Ren's smile

brighter.

Michael noticed their informal tone and tried to act casual as well.

"Y-yo."

Noticing his stuttering, Ren put an arm around his neck.

t's not that bro, try to say it louder."

Building up courage, Michael tried it once again.

"Yo." He said simply.

"Yup, just like that." Ren remarked.

Suddenly, all three of them heard coughing behind them.

They turned to find Athena looking at them imposingly.

"If you three don't want to get late for classes and get a punishment, I suggest you hurry up."

Gulping, all of them quickly hurried up to class.

Coincidentally, all three of them had picked Basic and Intermediate Mana Manipulation, which resulted in their first classes being the same.

And like yesterday, they were the last people to enter the class.

For Mana manipulation, their homeroom teacher was responsible for the class.

"I'm Athena Silvermoon, and I'll be responsible for your mana manipulation class." Athena introduced herself to the new students of other classes.

Except Alya, who was an armentist, all three of the females at the front were present for the

class.

Though Charlotte was also an armentist, she had taken this class as an optional elective.

She had a hardworking and knightly personality in the novel, which was why she was always

trying to grow stronger.

"Now, let's discuss in what way your mana is mainly used. And that's to use your elements, whether to imbue your weapons or body as an armentist or to simply use it as a clovist" "When a person awakens, the element they awaken are classified into two types. Maker Types

and Manipulation Types."

"Maker Types are the elements that can simply just produce the element out of thin air. For

example, if a person's water element is a maker type, they can produce water out of thin air. "Manipulation Types are the elements that manipulate an already present source of element to their advantage or how they want to use. For example, if a person's water element is a manipulation type, they cannot produce it out of thin air.

Rather, they need to manipulate the water already present around them. Like in a glass or

lake."

This was true.

Out of the two derivant elements he had chosen, [Blood] was a manipulation type whereas [Lightning] was a maker type.

For reality elements like [Time] or [Space], they had no type to classify them.

And same was said for [Void] and [Sun] elements, which belonged to Amon and Michael

respectively.

Michael's all four primordial elements were maker-type elements as well.

And for Ren's [Copy] element, he didn't know.

It was never explained much in the novel and the author had never clarified what its type was.

Out of all the 8 choices he had been given at the start, only [Sound], [Lightning], and [Crystal]

were maker elements whereas all other elements were manipulation types. "Now we will proceed towards the clovist training grounds again to teach you how to

manipulate mana." She instructed and everyone got up.
