Extra Pages: The Author's Odyssey

Opening the large box that had arrived early in the morning, I excitedly looked through the contents.

"As expected of Future Alchemy Master"

The box was filled with potions.

It's a surprise how fast she makes all of this in a small amount of time. It's like she didn't have any difficulty in making high-level potions at all.

…honestly, I was impressed.

looking at the high-quality potions in the box, the pain I felt from spending so much money on that potion I used until now instantly disappeared. Soon, I started taking out all of the potions from the box.

"Ten [Mana recovery potions], eight [Strength enhancement potions], eight [stamina recovery potions], nine…"

Counting all the potions to make sure nothing was missing, I organized the potions in different batches, each on the type of potions they were.

Because they were all transparent and only had labels with Isla writing if I didn't sort them out I could potentially consume the wrong one.

…well, yes I did expect potions to have all different types of colours, but I was wrong. Reality was harsh and all potions looked like water, moreover, they came inside of test tubes and not some fancy flask like in games.

After sorting out the potions and making sure nothing was missing, I stood up and prepared to attend classes.

Click!

Closing the door to my room, I started to walk towards the elevator. A few steps ahead of me I could see Evelyn standing in for of the lift, waiting for the elevator to come up

"Good morning Evelyn."

She turned her head towards me and said,

"Good morning Lucas."

I just nodded to her and stood beside her for the elevator.

We just stood in silence as I didn't know what to say to her other than that,

-Ding

Soon Elevator came and I entered it.

I see that Evelyn still standing there lost in her thoughts.

"Are you coming or not?" I said to her, she flinched back and her attention focused on me.

'what the heck, she is thinking so hard about?'

"I'm coming."

With that, she also entered the lift.

-Ding

The lift door closed and I could not help but take a glance at Evelyn.

'She is acting strange today...Something is wrong with her

I could not help but think so.

"How are you, Sunny?"

"I'm good. After resting yesterday, I'm feeling way better now."

"I see but why are there so many students absent today?"

Currently, I am sitting right next to Sunny.

"Dude, their luck was not as great as ours. While we were sleeping they were fighting constantly for the next 24 hours inside Goblin Dane."

"But yesterday was a Sunday, Even after one day's break they still can't come to class?"

As I pose my question, Sunny just sighs at me.

"Lucas Bro, you may be at [E-] rank but that is not true for the rest of the others, most of them mostly at [G+] rank or [F-] rank and they have to fight [E-] rank goblin for 24 hours straight, So of course even with one day holiday they can't come to class."

When he said that, I guess that made sense. Like me, others did not cheat at the start, so their bodies could hold the pressure of fighting a monster for 24 hours.

'there is only a handful full people at [E-] tank and I'm one of them.. ' I thought as I let my gaze settle on Adrian, Isabella and Aric.

Adrian must have a through to [D-] rank yesterday after he received a mission from the m system.

Isabella and Aric are currently on the borderline of [D-] rank. This means they are at the [E+] rank.

Few others are either at [E] or [E-] rank respectively.

"Well,l I guess you're right," I said to Sunny, who had a wide grin on his face.

"Anyway, Lucas do you know we going on holiday, to Silva City."

Alarms bell started to ring in my head at the name of Silva City.

How could I forget about this important information, Silva city is the start of the second arc but the first arc is still not completed because Tony Stark not doing anything to Adrian and not his friends at the matter.

The first arc should have been completed before the unit exam but it didn't and now I have to solve this confusing mystery of Tony's sudden change of behaviour.

'Agh, Fuck.'

My mood suddenly went downhill, First I noticed the strange behaviour of Evelyn then I heard we were going to Silva City for a holiday.

And let's not forget about Tony.

"Lucas bro? Are you okay? Your face is sweating despite AC's cool temperature."

"Ah, no it's nothing."

"No, you are sweating Lucas." wait a minute I know this voice, I turned my head back and saw the figure of Evelyn sitting there.

"What are you doing here? Weren't you always sitting with Lyra or Elera?"

"It's up to me to where I should sit."

'I don't care anymore, Everything is not going to be according to the plot at all.'

"Well suit yourself," I said to her and turned my attention to Sunny and said,

"I know we are going to Silva City, and I also know how many days we will stay there."

"Really? Then please tell me, I want to know."

"Miss Lillian will give us a Four-day Class Trip to Silva City."

"Four says huh? That's pretty neat but how do you know that?" Sunny asked me, there was a confused expression on his face.

Click-

"Oh, that well-" I was going to make some excuse but at the moment front I heard the 'click' sound of the door.

the door to the classroom clicked open, and Professor Lillian walked in.

All chatter sounds instantly stopped as they kept their gaze on Miss Lillian.

"Good morning class."

Miss Lillian said I know that hell is coming for me in a few days.
