The Unrecorded Extra

Chapter 137 Global Meeting IV

The moment he caught the smile on her face, he realized he was fucked up. Not literary, but you know the deal.

Evelyn, a wizard with a bright personality — which was rare among them. She brought with her a positive aura enlightening one's mood. Somehow, some people found her personality annoying.

She was known for being too personal, and everyone hated that trait of her.

Despite that, Evelyn was a great young wizard who had reached the 8th mana circle at merely a young age. If she was 28 this year, then two years ago — the year when she evolved to the next level — she was only 26.

Wizards, unfortunately, had the average human lifespan but slightly better.

Most of the time, the wizard's average age of death was 90 years if nothing exciting happened in their life. Only research, and research. Though, they could live up to a hundred years if they could nurture their mana well.

Back to the present. After the meeting tension slowly dissipated in the room. After everyone had given their opinions about the Voice Impact.

At a time when everyone expected the meeting was about to end. Evelyn — who had been a listener from the start — raised her hand, finally voicing her aspiration.

While she did so, only a few people noticed how she smiled and took a glance at one of Neychta's aides, Crow.

"As everyone knows, I'm the representative of Lunaria Tower, replacing the Celestial who was busy with his research."

She began with a brief introduction.

Everyone nodded almost simultaneously. None of them seemed to be discontent with how the Lunaria Tower master or the Celestial acted, such as throwing his responsibility to the other just because he had research going on.

Because they all knew how important the wizard research was. Both for the wizard community and the advancement of the world.

Without caring much about people's response, she continued:

"A few months ago, there was a beacon of light that originated from D-Point Ruin. I was tasked to investigate what caused the ruin and the land to be disappeared from the map, leaving only a large hole God knows how deep it is."

The leaders waited expectantly for the wizard to continue. They were all curious about that incident. Truthfully, because the investigation wasn't published publicly, almost everyone in this meeting had forgotten about the event.

As soon as being reminded of it, some of them started to make a thread, linking the Beacon of Light event to the recent Impact Voice event.

"I… We have found out what probably caused the disappearance of the ruin after a bit of investigation through the mana current coming out from the hole and asking the Octagram Academy Explorer Club's members some questions."

Nuria's ears twitched as she heard her academy was being mentioned.

Glancing and noticing Nuria's subtle reaction, Evelyn continued. No one seemed to want to stop her due to how curious they were about the incident.

"It is said that the Ruin's collapse is due to the mana system preserving the Ruin being destroyed, or solved…" A bit of uncertainty in her words.

"Mana system?" One of the leaders attending the meeting asked.

"The core system. Similar to the hunting field's origin. It manifested to this world because the system was created in that place, and once its fuel — mana was drained, it would transform back to how it was before the manifestation."

"So the ruins are surfacing to this world because they have those systems? And once those systems are destroyed, the ruin will collapse?"

Evelyn nodded. "Yes. That is the theory we came up with after all those deductions from the investigation."

After hearing the theory, Nuria's hologram leaned forward on her chair.

"Am I right to guess that one of my students destroyed— solved the mana system in the D-Point Ruin?"

A wide smile formed on Evelyn's face. "Yes."

Excitement rushed through Nuria's veins as she heard the reply.

"Do you know who it was?"

"Of course!" She exclaimed cheerfully while her eyes glanced at Crow.

Except for Crow himself, no one seemed to notice she was glancing at him.

'There's no way I was found out, right?' he thought after becoming the target of Evelyn's glance a few times by now. 'I mean, it was me who told her about what caused the collapse a month after the event. But, that's when I'm using my original form.'

'I can't help but be paranoid by how she keeps stealing glances at me as though she knows something.'

He let out a silent drawn-out sigh. 'I hope I'm just imagining things.'

"Can you tell me who it was?"

Nuria's clear and alluring voice pulled him out of his thought.

Smirking, Evelyn slammed his hands on the desk before her, then pointed forward at Nuria's hologram with an exaggerated motion.

"That's what I want to discuss in this meeting!"

Everyone was surprised by her word. By the meaning of her word.

Kyle who sat beside her shifted in his chair as he leaned on the desk, facing to his left where he could see Evelyn's cute face.

"Is that the topic you told me you wanted to bring to the meeting when you helped with the paperwork?"

Giving Kyle a brief glance, she replied to him with a 'yes' nod before refocusing her attention on the leaders.

"Since today's meeting can't seem to reach an agreement, anyway. We, the Lunaria Tower want this first-day meeting to not be fruitless and just waste our precious time for this."

Almost everyone felt attacked by her words but also confused at the same time. They just couldn't guess what this wizard was thinking.

Staring at Nuria purposefully, Evelyn said:

"As the next in line Lunaria Tower Celestial, I, Evelyn Aquatile, want to seek approval from the Headmaster of Octagram Academy to let me nurture the student in question for his magic learning education in the second semester, personally."

As soon as she stated those words, no one could contain their shock.

It was rare to find an ordinary wizard to have an interest in teaching Enhanced about magic. Not unless they were paid a huge amount of money.

To be noticed by the next in line Celestial or Master of Lunaria Tower was something else entirely! Not only they would be a master of magic. They also would be able to wield and cast every tier of magic without restriction, as an Enhanced.

It was a 1 in 10000000000 chance!

'Damn lucky for whoever that student is!' This was what everyone probably thinking right now.

Noises began to fill and stir the atmosphere of the meeting room once again. In that very atmosphere, Crow yet caught Evelyn glancing at him. When their eyes met, she gave him a knowing look and winked.

He raised his eyebrow. Confused.

"May I know what the student's name is?"

Everyone waited expectantly to know who the lucky student was. In every second Evelyn had left the absence of her voice to the question, curiosity crawled up their skins.

Then as she was satisfied watching people's eagerness after leaving them hanging on a cliff, the name of the lucky student was voicing out from her lip.

"Zio Varrez."

Murmurs and whispers reverberated faintly in the room. No one had an idea who that was. No one except the headmaster, Nuria Crimson, and two other people.

Nuria frowned as she recalled the student's name. It was the name that her granddaughter sometimes told her about.

According to what his granddaughter told her, Zio Varrez was an individual with a lot of potentials. But, if he was one, why did his first assessment was ranked 911th? Either there was a mistake, or the student was purposely hiding his abilities.

The latter sounded stupid. So she thought it was a mistake from the academy. She made a mental note to check on the entrance exam ranking assessment later.

"Zio Varrez. He's currently claiming the 666th spot in the freshman ranking…"

"I'm aware of that."

Nuria raised her eyebrow. "Why do you want to nurture him?"

Evelyn chuckled, "You should know why."

With a shrug, she continued.

"His talent in magic is extraordinary. The highest I've ever found among the Enhanced! He might be becoming the first hybrid superhuman in the world, with a system and extraordinary talent in magic that surpasses even those 6th mana circle wizards."

Gasps. Everyone gasped almost simultaneously at the emphasized word 'Hybrid Superhuman'.

'Am I that extraordinary?' Crow, the student in question who was in disguise, thought to himself.

At that moment, his eyes glided toward Neyhta, noticing her fingers deeply buried into the metal desk. He also noticed how her body was trembling, not sure if that was because of excitement or fear.

He bent and whispered into her ear. "Are you okay, Guildmaster?"

Neychta flinched as a soft whisper brushed her ear. Turning around, she found Crow staring at her with a questioning face.

"No. Nothing."

Crow frowned, while Goose let out a sigh. The uncertainty in her words made Crow think there was definitely something wrong that made her like that.

'Anyway…' His gaze fell on Evelyn who was excitedly discussing the issue she brought upon the meeting with Nuria.

'I'm starting to think whether my Luck stat is really <E> rank or not…'
