The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra

Chapter 62: The Quest to Save Lily [4]



****

Wearing a black tulip dress that accentuated her long indigo hair falling upon her back, Athena walked in.

Her abyssal black eyes quickly ran over the room, before settling down on Amon.

Even though he knew she had no intention of it, Amon felt a shudder pass through his body as those inky black eyes locked with his coal-colored ones.

This was the pressure that naturally exuded off a 9th-order clovist.

Despite having a 10th-order talent, she had never been able to make it to that stage.

This was because of how hard it was to control and master her spatial element.

Nevertheless, it was also powerful enough to make her combat prowess equal to that of a primordial element 10th order clovist, if there was one at least.

Making eye contact with her, Amon saw a flicker of disbelief pass in her eyes before a frown replaced her facial expression.

But she quickly composed herself and walked over to the sofa in the front and settled down. Before he could say something, she started the conversation herself.

"Well well, I must say but even in my wildest dreams, I had never expected you to be here, Student Amon." She looked at him dead in the eyes.

"Now, what are you here for that you require an anonymous transaction?"

Amon suppressed a gulp at those indifferent eyes. He knew she was trying to pressure him.

A natural tactic that businessmen or women use to get deals favored towards their side. He had learned a lot about this type of stuff at the bookstore he worked at.

He smiled at Athena in return.

"I'm here to trade mana cores." He simply replied and waved his hand, making all the 56 mana cores and the single boss core appear on the table in front.

Athena's eyes widened with shock for the first time.

Unlike the manager, she didn't even need to hold them to check the mana quantity and quality.

That was because she could see the mana in them through her spatial element.

And his thoughts were proven correct when her left eye suddenly shone amethyst.

Or more accurately, a 9-leaf clover mark shone in a bright indigo light on her left eye. That was correct. The clover mark for Athena was on her left eye.

And because clover marks were black in general, nobody could notice it until she used her power.

This was why her spatial power wasn't just limited to using it and manipulating it as she pleased. She could literally see space through her left eye and watch what it was made up of.

And since mana was present in the space, she had no problem seeing it. Even elemental types of mana.

This was exactly why he had not brought out cores from his inventory but his spatial ring right now. She would find out that no spatial magic was used since it was the inventory.

This would make her question more about how the items appeared.

This was why she could react and prepare for an attack minutes before it even launched.

Hence, also the reason why he was worried that she would recognize the [Void] element in FULLDIVE.

Following that, she could even manipulate space using her eye which was exactly what she was doing right now.

Just as a precautionary measure, she was checking the cores thoroughly to see if this was not some scam or prank.

Finally realizing that this was the real thing, the aubergine light on her clover mark died down, making both her eyes black again.

But her eyes were still widened in shock, wondering how it happened.

Fortunately for her, she quickly realized that there was still a student sitting in silence in front of her, causing her to cough and compose herself.

It was none of her business to ask how her client got it anyways.

She looked at his calm eyes now, placing her head on her intertwined hands.

"60 Million. Take it or leave it."

Amon looked at her silently in the eyes, before his mouth opened.

"1 Billion Exlor along with the Platinum Membership of HOU."

Her expression contorted into one of evident shock at his ridiculousness.

"Absolutely not." She replied with a deep frown.

At her words, he kept eye contact with her again for a few seconds, observing her silently. Before finally he heaved a deep sigh and waved his hand, making all of the cores disappear. He stood up, bowing a little and locking gazes with her again.

"Then I guess we are done then, Miss Athena. I'll try my luck on Locke Market then."

Breaking eye contact with her, he turned and started to head towards the door, ignoring her piercing gaze that was still on it.

However, just as his hand reached out towards the doorknob, Athena's voice resounded in the

room again.

"Wait, come back. We can still negotiate."

A smile spread on his lips. One that she couldn't see.

He knew it. That she would agree with his deals.

These cores were very important to her now that she had found them. She couldn't let them

go.

Besides the hidden fact that HOU was desperately trying to find mana cores right now to overtake Locke Market and claim the 1st spot as well, these cores were also needed for Athena to improve her spatial rings.

By studying how they stored so mana in a contracted design, she would be able to further lessen the size of spatial objects while keeping the same space inside them.

Or, she could finally cross the threshold of space that could be stored by a normal ring.

The space etched on a ring could even turn into infinite.

But for that, she needed to get her hands on the mana cores and learn from them.

And even if he wasn't willing in the end to sell them, she was definitely not going to let him sell to Locke Market and widen the gap between the two companies.

This was why, she would definitely agree to his deal. No matter how ridiculous it was.

Turning back, he walked back to his seat and sat down with a calm expression again.
