The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra

Chapter 111: Talk With Elizabeth [2]



***

Amon stared at her.

"Yes?" He asked, his voice completely normal.

"Is there a reason you are hiding it?" She asked.

He nodded.

"Yes."

"I see."

It seemed to be that she was having a problem asking what she really wanted to ask.

But Amon couldn't do anything about it.

It wasn't like they were that close to reveal all their secrets.

He was already a little aggressive on her asking about his powers.

He had just saved her life so why was she questioning it?

However, her next question made him freeze.

"Does your sister know about it?" she asked.

He didn't know what to answer with this type of question.

From the past, he knew that she had helped him at the Clovist Training and other scenarios because her sister asked her to.

Every trouble he got into would be reported to Katherine, earning him an earful.

If he said yes here, then he might be able to avert the scenario of him getting his powers snitched on to Katherine.

He pondered on it for a moment before answering.

"No, she doesn't." He answered, awaiting her response.

She was silent for a few seconds.

"I see. I won't do anything about it. It's your powers and you must have a secret for hiding them. But..."

Amon kept silent.

"I hope you can find the courage to tell her someday. She really worries about you, you know." She flashed him a smile.

His eyes widened.

"Well, I'll be off then. See you in class soon, and I hope all three of us can still develop our friendship." She flashed a slight smile and waved her hand.

But Amon wasn't focusing on any of that.

He finally realized now.

He had always wondered why Elizabeth joined the personal training sessions.

It made sense that she joined in the original novel because she knew nothing about Daniel at that time.

But this time, she knew of his intentions way back.

But then, why did she join?

Finally, it was clear now.

She didn't join the club because of herself.

She joined the club because of him.

Because Katherine had asked her to keep an eye out for him. From the start, she had been trying to keep him away from things because of Katherine.

He couldn't help but chuckle in sadness.

He sighed as he brought a hand to his face.

Katherine. If Amon had to be honest, as much as he loved her, he still knew at the back of his mind that she was never his real sister.

Maybe he never got to accept her as that. Just as someone who was very dear to him.

But how foolish he was. When she always saw him as her younger brother and kept looking out for him.

From the start, it had been him looking out for the others, until he was looked after by others.

The clouds started to part and he looked at the clear sky.

The emotional turmoil inside him cleared and his mind finally felt clear for the first time since the incident.

Walking out of the alley, he called out to Elizabeth, who hadn't walked that far.

"Yes?"

He apologized.

"I'm sorry for being aggressive."

For a moment, she was surprised before showing a polite smile.

"It's nothing." She waved her hand dismissively and started to walk away.

Amon smiled and also headed back to his apartment.

That day, he spent it all with Katherine and Lily.

***

Elizabeth didn't want to confront Amon as well.

When she noticed him, she was about to head off as well.

She didn't know how to respond to his powers and all.

It was too big of a reveal and too much for her to take in.

She needed time to digest it all and finally face him.

However, when she saw the mess inside him, she was forced to stop.

If what she saw was a hollow black void instead of his emotions before, what she now

horrified her.

It was the same hollow void as her. And after seeing his powers, she had more or less of an idea of why it was there.

However, what terrified her was what she was inside the Void.

She saw different colors clashing with each other. They were minor and subtle in the Void but

she noticed them well after she focused.

The colors all represented a different emotion.

Frustration, Self-loathing, Hatred, Grief and most of all, Sadness.

They were all negative emotions.

And from what she knew from years of her using this ability, it was called an emotional

turmoil.

He was in a difficult and aggressive stage right now.

She didn't know what it was for. Probably because of the battle but she didn't understand the

reason behind those emotions.

Did he hate himself for getting them hurt?

She didn't know.

But if it was, then as a person who he saved, she felt it as her responsibility to confront him

about it.

Not just as a friend and someone who was helping his older sister.

And that was why against her will, she took him in an alley.

Amon didn't show it but she could see he was pretty aggressive about it from the inside.

He had gotten really better at managing his facial expressions.

She tried various questions to get him to talk out what was happening with him.

It wasn't the powers that were causing this it seems.

Nor was he telling them.

But after she asked him about hiding his powers, she finally got the answer.

The widening of his eyes was enough for her to confirm it.

Then, she left him alone to gather his thoughts.

And as he came outside, she was glad to see that his emotional mess had finally cleared.

Amon looked to be his normal self again. And she was glad to have repaid her debt to him.

It was something that made her...

Happy.

Happy to have helped someone in need. Especially someone who was a friend.

"Sis, why are you breaking so many pencils?" Ren questioned, sitting on the couch.

"Can't you see?" She asked, turning her head toward him in a furious manner.

"Nope, am blind. I apologize for being a liability." He flatly replied.

Athena clicked her tongue, breaking another pencil.

"Whatever, get me gum you dipshit."

Ren shrugged.

"Nope. Get it yourself."

Athena gritted her teeth and was about to stand from her seat when Ren brought out a piece of

gum.

Her black eyes suddenly sparkled with warmth.

But then...

He popped it into his mouth.

"Sike, get one yourself sis." He threw a middle finger at her.

"You...!"
