Chapter 190: Catching Up [1]



***

Amon felt his senses waver again, as if they were glitching.

But they quickly returned to normal in seconds, signaling him to open his eyes.

And as he did, the pod in front of him opened up with a bulging pop.

Stepping outside, Amon instantly noticed the number of eyes that were transfixed on him.

It was just like the previous FULLDIVE.

It wasn't difficult to translate what their gazes seemed to say.

'I guess it's still a little hard for them to accept that the last ranked student is outperforming even the top 10s.' Amon sighed.

Especially his multiple elements.

Now that he used them freely, it was a little weird for them.

Especially since he was the first multi-elemental clovist in the history.

Along with Michael.

Of course, there was Arthur. But they didn't know about him.

At the same time, the neighbour pod to him opened as well.

And out came Alya, with tired steps.

Her whole form wavered and Amon instantly caught her.

'What even happened to her?' He thought as he looked at her.

As if understanding his thoughts, a familiar voice came from the side.

"When the news about the Warm Shelter was announced, she had given up on fighting with Miller.

She didn't know where to go so she followed the large explosion that set off in the distance. Only to be encountered by the Blizzard..." Charlotte came from the side, helping Alya from the other side.

She recounted the whole story of what happened to Alya.

About how she still had to dodge Miller's attacks while still bearing the storm on her familiar. Though her familiar was a bird type, it wasn't strong or sturdy enough to endure the winds. Especially so with the occasional metal shrapnel hitting them in the wind.

After she had reached the tunnel, she exploded it once more to keep Miller outside.

In the first place, he had never made it through the Blizzard anyway.

But that was all.

The cuts and injuries along with the Blizzard had drained Alya.

Amon felt a little bad about how she was one of the people who were unlucky with the familiar ceremony.

Sure, her familiar was as fast as a bullet but in terms of strength, it was far behind.

Another disadvantage was the lack of uniqueness in her familiar.

It was just a simple full white hawk with a large boost to speed and eyesight.

It didn't have any unique features like Nultharia or Borealith.

In any case, there could be nothing done about it now.

This was just the first battle after all.

There was a chance that they might get a better terrain in the next match where Alya could pop off.

It all depended on luck.

As Amon moved through the crowd, his gaze locked with Maxville in the distance.

He acknowledged Amon with a nod.

"That was a great use of knowledge and piecing the facts together. Excellent display of skills

as well." He jotted down some things on the paper in front of him.

Amon nodded back.

She had a perplexed expression on her face as if trying to read or understand something.

A warm smile spread on his face.

Closing the door, Amon walked over to the couch and sat down.

The little girl, who was deeply engrossed in the book was startled by his presence as her body

suddenly jerked.

"Ahhhh!" She screamed, afraid but stopped when she saw who it was.

Amon chuckled, trying to restrain a laugh.

Lily, seeing his reaction, pouted.

Amon ruffled her hair and asked.

"What was Lily doing?"

Happy that he asked, Lily quickly grabbed the book with a smile showing him.

They were basic alphabets and numbers.

"Look, this." She pointed to 'Q'.

"Oh.."

Looking at her again, he saw that she had a confused expression.

"Is it hard?"

"Mmnh" Lily nodded.

Smiling, he brought the book near her while pointing at the letter.

"It's Q." He said slowly to her to make her understand while showing her his lips movement.

"Ku?"

"No, no." Amon shook his head while repeating it to her again.

"Kue?"

Amon shook his head again. They did it many times until she finally learned how to say it.

"Yes, q, that's how you say it. Qas in for queen." Amon smiled, telling her that she was right

this time.

He created a small crown of crystal on her head.

"Lily a queen now. Q for queen as in."

"Woahhh" Lily touched her crown with her baby fingers.

She had a cheerful and happy expression on her face after learning the letter correctly.

Amon smiled seeing her exuberant attitude.

It literally made all of his worries fade away.

And together, they started to learn all the letters until...

"T," Lily said and Amon nodded.

"Yes. T. Tas in for training." He said while making a gesture of training.

"Ohhh" Lily observed with her large curious eyes.

"T. As in for Training," Amon said and Lily repeated it to him.

But then suddenly, his mind clicked.

'Wait, training?'

'Training....' He repeated it to himself, feeling like he was forgetting something.

But it was then that it all rang inside his mind and his eyes widened.

'Oh, fuck.' He couldn't help but curse in the situation.

His third Void Training....
