The Author is an Extra, The MC is a Reincarnator

That was close. My heart was about to burst from fear.

When I finished my training with the Mana Breathing Method at that time, I noticed that the class was still ongoing. Because I didn't feel a need and was too lazy to attend the class, I decided to close my eyes just for a second, pretending to be sleeping.

However, who would've thought that I would really fall asleep!

When I opened my eyes again, I heard a conversation between Zaiden and Mirana. I also heard Lisa's voice, so I kept my position and eavesdropped on them.

Zaiden left the room first, so I thought that I would be safe to leave. So I raised my head a little, but then Lisa muttered something that took me by surprise.

Among the heroines, I was a bit afraid of Lisa. The reason for that was simple.

'She's a bit crazy. Her love knows no bounds, as her Trait is Crazy in Love. Or at least that was my setting in the novel.'

That was why I gave her a little advice to save myself and left the room as soon as possible.

Even if I was an Awakener and she was a normal person, being alone with her was scary.

But, I gained some nice information from her.

"So they are not lovers, huh. That guy is really playing around too much."

He should've known Lisa's Trait. If she Awakened her Talents, and the awakening strengthened her Trait in the future, I would only hope that Zaiden would be safe from her.

But then, that was Zaiden's problem, not mine.

For now, I had something to do.

"It's shopping time~"

***

Leaving the Academy, I changed my clothes into a hoodie and shirt before putting on the Mask of Deceit.

My destination was the Awakeners Store. It was a store that sold normal weapons, such as the Iron Sword and other kinds of weapons.

Not only that, but the Awakeners Store also sold things such as grenades or smoke bombs to use in the dungeon.

That was my goal today. I wanted to get some grenades and smoke bombs to be used in an emergency. I also wanted to get myself a bow and a sword.

Rai was talented in both Sharpshooting and Swordsmanship. I wanted to show the world that I was that strong. It was the first phase of my plan.

I needed at least a month for this first phase, and it was a perfect time. After getting recognition from the world, I would then proceed to the second, which involved Zaiden directly.

Now, I was looking around the Awakener Store that was located in the middle of Los Angeles, a bit away from Park Injun's store.

The grenade sold in the Awakener Store would be able to kill F-Rank monsters with no problem and even injure E-Rank monsters.

It was a useful tool, but then…

"It's expensive!" I raised my voice when I saw the price of the grenade on the shelf of the store.

It cost 500 USD for each grenade, which was ridiculous compared to the effect of the bomb. However, I still bought it.

I bought four grenades and two smoke bombs, which cost the same as the grenades. Then, I bought a bow that a newbie often used with ten arrows and a quiver as a bonus for ten grand.

The sword cost five grand, but I still bought it as I needed it too.

The reason I bought a bow, even though I requested [Arash Bow] was to train with it. I could always use [Arash Bow] to train myself later, but I didn't want to waste a precious two days just waiting for it.

I intended to train myself in the dungeon after this.

"Thank you for your purchase!"

I put the items in my magic bag while strapping the quiver and bow on my back. The sword was also in my magic bag, as I had no scabbard and belt to strap it on my waist.

Then, I left the Awakener Store and headed to the nearby F-Ranked Dungeon.

***

Dungeons were divided by Rank, similar to Awakeners. F-Rank was the lowest, and S-Rank was the highest.

Three F-Rank Awakeners could clear the F-Ranked Dungeon. It was recommended to form a party to tackle the dungeon, even if it was the lowest-ranked one.

Many monsters inhabited the dungeons, but there was also a field where monsters roamed. Monsters inhabited those fields because the dungeon was overflowing with monsters.

The monsters inside the dungeons would multiply after a certain amount of time. The researchers called the occurrence 'Breeding'.

Putting that aside, a lot of F-Rank and E-Rank Awakeners crowded near the dungeon.

The dungeon entrance was shaped like a normal cave entrance, but it was formed in an abandoned land.

A person from the Awakener Association managed the entry of the Awakeners near the dungeon entrance.

At first, I was thinking of trying to hit the field, but it was too risky for me, who had no combat experience.

A low-ranked dungeon such as this one was perfect for training.

"Well, let's try it solo first. This is just a one-floor dungeon with F-Rank monsters, so it should be easy with my status."

I then walked toward the entrance of the dungeon. A lot of Awakeners were calling out to the others to form a party.

Some even called out to me, but I refused them by raising my hand; I tried to act cool when I was acting as Rai.

When I was about to enter the dungeon entrance, the person from the Awakener Association stopped me and asked me to show my ID.

He was a bit shocked when I showed him my ID. My Talents were written there, so it was natural if he was shocked.

However, he kept his professionalism and just allowed me to go inside without any problem.

Even though it was my first time entering a dungeon, I wasn't that impressed or something. Because, it was somehow disappointing.

"This is…"

The dungeon that I entered was disappointing. It was similar to a cave… with monsters fighting the Awakeners.

"Well, it's just an F-Ranked Dungeon after all," I muttered in a low voice.

Because this area was full of Awakeners already, I decided to go deeper into the dungeon.

I met a lone monster after walking for a few minutes. Stopping on my track, I hid behind the nearby rock and held the bow that I bought with my left hand.

Taking an arrow from the quiver on my back, I nocked it to the bowstring and aimed at the monster.

Maybe because I had S-Rank Sharpshooting Talent, I immediately knew how to hold the bow correctly.

Ba-dump! Ba-dump! Ba-dump!

My heart was beating fast. This was the first time I'd had a serious fight in my life. When I was on Earth, I lived peacefully, away from most dangers.

The only fighting experience that I had was when I was in military service for a year, and that too was just a spar.

"Fuu–"

Taking a deep breath to calm my loud heartbeat, I aimed my arrow toward the green monster in the distance. It was a monster known as 'Goblin'.

The arrowhead let out a faint blue glow. The Mana that was infused in the arrowhead increased its piercing power. The faint glow was proof that I had successfully infused the mana into the arrowhead.

A few seconds passed in silence. After I was sure that my arrow would pierce its head, I then released the bowstring as I exhaled.

"Ha–!"

Swoosh–!

The arrow flew at a fast speed, leaving a faint blue trail of mana. It then pierced the goblin's head cleanly.

"K–Ki..." The goblin let out a last cry before lifelessly falling to the ground.

"I did it…" I muttered as I approached the goblin.

My confidence increased after I killed the goblin easily. I looked at my hand and clenched my fist.

"I can do it… I can get stronger."

My lips curled into a smile that was hidden by my mask. I then crouched and took the fang of the goblin that could be sold for a few bucks.

Putting the fang in my magic bag, I then took back the arrow that pierced the goblin earlier. It was a precious arrow, and it could still be used a few times.

"Let's continue a little. It's a good place to train my accuracy."

I continued training Archery in the dungeon. I also learned how to move stealthily while I was at it.

Surprisingly, I could learn all of them easily. All of that was thanks to my S-Rank Talent.
