The Extra's Indifference

We arrived at the dungeon's entrance. The entrance was just a normal wooden door. I opened it and stepped inside.

Aora is the name of this dungeon. This dungeon contains only realistic beast/monster illusions that attack the test taker.

Every test taker has a hit point and if they took more hits than their hit point, they would teleport in front of the entrance. My hit point is higher than normal because of my strong body and transformed body parts.

The dungeon was dark, so i took out my magical flashlight and activated it.

With light, i could observe my surroundings more easily. Dungeon's interior was like that of a cave.

I walked for about 15 minutes and encountered a [E] rank bear. It was just low rank one, so i killed it with thought and continued my way. It was just an illusion anyway.

While i was walking, i inspected the walls of the cave. In the novel, Hywel found a secret button or something like that, which led him to Affinity enchanting potion.

The dungeon's maker Aora was a master alchemist and wanted to give gifts to future talented youths. Thus she made a lot of Affinity Enchanting potions and put them somewhere in this dungeon. Though everyone can only take 1 potion, only someone under 18 years of age can enter this dungeon and they can only enter 1 time.

I continued like this for a few hours. I encountered low rank beasts, and monsters and killed them. The most powerful beast or monster was [C] rank but i killed them too, though with some difficulty.

But i couldn't find the way to get the Affinity Enchanting potion. My Intuition didn't tell me anything either, so it was simply impossible to find a small unusual thing. I even searched below some big rock but it was a useless effort.

I couldn't find the treasure, so i gave up and began to walk back to the entrance. While i was on my way to exit but luck smiled on me and i saw something unusual on some random wall.

It looked like just a hole but i inspected it closer and found this hole was a keyhole. Keyhole was 7cm wide and 10cm deep. I didn't know where to find the key to the keyhole. So i started to think about a solution to this problem.

I could search the whole cave slowly, which would last minimum of 2 days but Orion didn't say anything regarding time limit, so it was okay to think there is no time limit. Though it would be too boring.

Or

I could punch the wall until the break it, which seemed impossible to me. This dungeon was made by the first headmaster who was a 9th rank mage, so its wall has to be sturdier than measly [C] rank strength.

Well, i tried it anyway.

I strengthened my right arm with mana and punched the wall. Cave shook a little but the wall was still same, there wasn't even slight crack or dent.

But it can't be said the same for my hand. My hand broke, my knuckles crushed slightly, and was bleeding. I couldn't heal myself too because the creatures of this dungeon were just illusions but i needed living, bleeding creatures to cast bloody healing.

I pressed some cloth to the wound and stopped the bleeding. Punching the wall was the most idiotic plan of my last 2 lives. I didn't feel too much pain from this injury, so i was okay. But without my right hand, my work would be harder when searching for the key.

I didn't want to search through the cave with a broken hand, it would be boring and tedious task.

So i started to think one more time to find a solution.

I inspected the keyhole again. It seemed to me keyhole wasn't magical in nature but it could be obscurity magic or something like that of a hides the magical nature.

I found an idea that could work but this idea was too slightly idiotic. Because i didn't know if this keyhole was magical or not, so i tried it.

I analyzed the keyhole and made a key with ice. I put the key into the keyhole and tried to open it.

It didn't open, the key broke when i tried to turn it. So i made a new key with more mana and tried it again. This time key didn't break but i couldn't turn it, hence i strengthened my arm and turned it with my all might.

I was able to turn the key full in a minute. The key turned and a door opened in the wall.

'Is this some sort of a joke or is this some sort of test for the exceptional students?' i threw thoughts about the purpose of this. I didn't even care for a bit.

I stepped in and looked around. This secret room looked like a library. Bookshelves were everywhere, so i walked aimlessly and looked at the books. I thought that i could find a book that was helpful to me.

Well, i found several of them. Few books about runes, blood, and illusion magic, and one revelation and time magic. It was good loot, even if i didn't take the affinity enchanting potion, these books would be enough. Finding books about revelation and time magic was close to impossible, even in the library of the Archmage there was only 1 book.

Well, i could read them later but i needed to store them away. I didn't have my storage artifact on me because Orion took it and said he would give me later. It seemed to me rule, so i complied. I took out my shirt and make a bag for books and hung it on my back.

In the novel, Hywel directly went towards to middle of the library and found the affinity enchanting potion. For some reason that i didn't know Hywel didn't even look at the books. Hywel was just 14 at that but he was a clever boy too, so it's a little strange that he didn't look or took any books from this library.

'Are books cursed or did Hywel affect some sort of suggestion spell? Well, i don't know and don't care.'

I walked to the middle of the library. The Middle of the library was empty except for a potion bottle that floats in the air.

'Why has Aora made this place strange and mysterious like this? Is she just bored? Because why bother to float a potion, just put it on a table.'

Anyway, i walked to the potion and took it slowly.

The potion bottle was plain but the potion itself was mysterious looking. It was so transparent that it was hard to distinguish the potion bottle from the empty one.

I converted my mana to a space element and added it to the potion. After the space element was added, the potion's color changed to ethereal black with white dots. With this change, this potion became Space affinity potion.

I drank the potion, lay down on the floor, and waited.

From my knowledge when someone drank the affinity enchanting potion, they would feel great pain because of the changes in their body. Although my pain receptors are dull, i could feel some amount of pain.

The pain came but it wasn't comparable to mana poisoning, so instead of waiting blankly i decided to read the revelation book that i picked.

I read for a while and closed the book.

I started to chant. Chanting lasted for about a five minutes. After my chanting finished, i started to observe around of me, but nothing happened.

I cast [Reveal Luck] magic that i read from the book and it worked. But there wasn't any chance around of me to determine my luck.

Luck is the way for the world's will to help someone without direct interaction. Though the world usually gives someone bad luck to give them hard lives or gruesome death instead of good luck.

But when i cast the reveal luck magic, it didn't show anything. So i concluded that the world didn't give me any good luck or bad luck. I was just my own. Even if i find an incredibly powerful artifact it would mean that it was due to my actions that i find it. Not because the world redirects me to an artifact with a series of indirect actions.

While i was thinking, pain disappeared from my body. This meant that my changes were finished.

I activate the status lenses.

That was a big leap, from 23% to 66%.

I chanted low rank space magic [Blink] and teleported 5 meters back. My mana was reduced less than 5 times before the affinity enchanting potion. That was a good opportunity, with this i will easily teleport to far away places in the future instead of walking, when i am 5th or 6th circle mage.

Well, i got what i wanted, so it was time to go back.
