The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra

Chapter 189: Winter Is Coming [8]



****

Amon was surprised.

'Huh?' He thought as he stared at Nadia's abrupt action.

He hadn't expected her to bow and apologize to him, let alone not fight him.

But in a sense, he wasn't surprised as well.

Despite her pride, Nadia didn't let it hinder her vision as he had said before.

Unlike a certain someone.

Nadia placed her brains above her pride.

And in the current situation, she probably knew that she had no chance of winning against him.

She was completely covered in injuries such as cuts and scratches.

And if Amon had to guess, she was pretty much out of mana.

He couldn't tell her but he was almost in the same situation of the mana case.

Fortunately, he had been doing mana breathing since the moment he arrived.

In any case, Nadia certainly knew when and where to pick her fights.

But what was even more surprising was her apology.

Apology for the behavior she displayed to him on their match.

It wasn't something unusual for her to do.

As Amon had said, as long as you proved her strength to her, she would also acknowledge it.

And she would properly take responsibility for her behavior or actions toward you.

Because of this, Amon already knew after the match that she would come and do it.

The only thing was that he wasn't expecting her to do it this soon.

Hence his surprise.

But it all worked in his favor. So who was he to complain?n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

One of the reasons he had stayed silent during her mocking was for this precise moment.

Nadia was a once-in-a-century talent in the 'Energy' prospect.

Someone he couldn't afford to lose.

And for that purpose, he had first to make a connection with her.

Which was why he planned to utilize this moment with her to initiate a link between them.

Moving back to the situation, Amon feigned surprise.

"Huh?" He halted.

Nadia, looked up, her blue resolute eyes locking with him.

"I know I mocked you before our match, taking your strength to measure the respect I should give you. This was wrong, I know.

My pride blinded me."

Then she straightened herself.

Despite the number of injuries she had on her body, she still carried herself straight.

With pride and confidence.

"But after the match, my eyes were opened and I realized how wrong I was. For that reason, I apologize for my inappropriate behavior with you."

"Oh." Amon pretended to understand the situation.

Before shrugging.

"That's fine. As long as you realize that you did wrong."

Nadia was momentarily surprised.

"That's it?" she asked.

Her face was surprised.

As if she was wondering that she was forgiven?

Just like that?

Amon turned, meeting her gaze.

"What? Are we supposed to do some royal ceremony where I'm supposed to get a medal for being forgiven by you?" He asked.

A moment of silence reigned between them for a moment.

Nadia finally realized how stupid she was being.

"Pfft." She broke out into a burst of silent laughter.

The tension that was previously between them when she entered the area seemed to dissipate.

Amon walked over to the railing where he picked up an apple and threw it toward her. Surprised by his reaction, Nadia almost failed the catch but quickly caught it in time. "So....Weren't we supposed to fight?" He asked Nadia.

His fingers gestured to a small clock that was nailed to the entrance wall of the cabin.

It had only one hand.

The minute hand.

And it was currently at 45 minutes.

Nadia was quick to understand what he meant.

It meant that he was occupying the place for 45 minutes now, with only 15 minutes left.

But Nadia didn't care about that.

She took a bite out of her apple.

"Yes, you can take the win. Consider it a formal apology for my actions."

Amon's expression morphed into surprise but eventually, he shrugged.

"Up to you. It's a guaranteed win for us then."

Nadia chuckled a little while also taking another bite from her apple.

"It was from the moment I arrived here. From the start, I can't beat you either way. So the win

was already in your hands."

Amon nodded.

"I guess you can say that."

Nadia took another bite from her apple before throwing it on the side.

Their eyes met before she brought two fingers to the side of her hand.

"Well, I'll see you in the battle royale then." She smiled.

It was a competitive smile.

Amon gave a competitive smile back.

"Sure. Try and see if you can beat me then." He provoked her.

Nadia subtly clicked her tongue.

"I'll show you."

And then, her fingers shot up in the air, a bullet of flames passing through her head.

Thud!

At the same time, her body dematerialized into a series of blue particles.

A voice boomed from above.

[Maxville: Nadia Alneith from Team B has been eliminated.]

[Maxville: Along with that, only 5 minutes are left till the Warm Shelter is fully occupied by

Team A.]

Suddenly, a series of footsteps were heard by Amon.

They were familiar.

Amon's head knocked to the side where he saw Alya come from the side of the cabin.

Her condition was a mess.

Cuts and scratches throughout her body.

Her long blonde hair were a mess with twigs and such stuck in her hair.

He quickly walked over to her, helping her settle down on the staircase of the cabin.

"You good?" He asked and she tiredly nodded.

"It was a mess." She said.

Amon nodded.

He could see that just from how exhausted she looked.

To the point that she couldn't even tell what happened to her.

Leaving her to rest, Amon focused on the clock on the wall.

And as he waited, the hand moved once more, making a complete rotation.

While signaling that one hour had passed.

And at the same time, a voice boomed from above.

[Maxville: The Warm Shelter has been fully occupied by Team A. Therefore, the victory of the

first challenge goes to Team A!]

Smiling, he nodded at Alya who smiled tiredly back.

Their bodies started to disintegrate into a stream of particles while she looked at him.

"You better tell me later what happened."

She nodded, while finally slumping her head in her arms.

"Yeah, I will."

And then, the both of them disappeared.

The first round of the team battles was complete.

With the victory going to Team A.
