The Author is an Extra, The MC is a Reincarnator

"But well… I guess I could say that it will serve as my training." I muttered as I stood up and looked at my body to see the change that occurred from the reformation.

The reformation of the body would only occur once in a lifetime. Only F-Rank Awakener had this privilege to reform their body using the Mana Breathing method because their body was still pure and not used to Mana yet.

I walked to the closet and looked at the mirror placed on its door. The one who looked back in the mirror was a handsome boy with black hair and red eyes.

He was around 185cm tall with a toned body looking back at me with a small smile.

"Hou, my face is better than I thought. Maybe I am more handsome than Zaiden?"

Because I never ordered an Illustration for an Extra, I didn't really specify his appearance. However, this was better than I thought.

"Well, let's take a look at my status. I bet it will have some change in strength and agility."

I opened my status window.

When I saw my status, I couldn't help but grin.

"Damn! This is nuts! I have become an E-Rank Awakener in an instant!"

The highest Rank of Talent and Awakener Rank were S-Rank.

However, the status was different. It had no limit.

In the last Volume, Zaiden had SS Rank Strength and Agility while his Mana was Ranked S. Of course, he had E-Rank luck, and that was his only weakness.

Luck couldn't be increased from training; you need an Artifact that could be excavated from a hidden dungeon to Increase your Luck.

That was why I was confident that he wouldn't be able to find the hidden pieces in the Academy. Because, without knowledge or Luck, he wouldn't be able to enter that place.

There was no way he would know that place. Only I and the reader of my novel knew the existence of that place in the Academy.

"Well then, let's find that item." I licked my lips as I thought about the item I wanted to get.

Before that, I pulled the wet collar of my clothes and muttered, "I need to change my clothes first."

***

"It's not here!"

I shouted at the top of my lungs as I parted the bush in front of me.

Right now, I was in the woods behind the Academy. I was deep inside the woods that no one ever steps their feet in here.

The woods were owned by the academy. The size of the woods was a rather small one compared to the Angeles National Forest, but it was huge enough that people could actually get lost here.

There was supposed to be a hidden item here, right in front of me, hidden in the small opening behind the bushes.

However, when I went to the spot where the item was hidden, it was already gone.

"What is this shit? This item is supposed to be here!"

The item that I hid was supposed to be hidden before being found by the fourth heroine, Shina, when she awakened her ability.

She had awakened Detection Talent, and it ranked A, so she was able to find the hidden artifact in the Academy right before she left.

"What happened here?" I tried to look for a clue by looking around the area.

There was no noticeable footprint, but I noticed something important after I parted the bushes around the small opening.

The small rock that was supposed to hide the small opening was moved to the right, buried slightly under the ground. I cautiously took the small rock and observed it.

This was my only clue to finding the one who took the item.

However, this was useless. The item that was hidden here had no special ability, but it was useful to reach a higher rank faster.

It had the ability to increase the efficiency of Mana Absorption when killing monsters.

The Mana Breathing Method had a limit, I could only do it around once a day, and the efficiency would decrease when an Awakener reached C-Rank.

It appeared to make me stronger at a fast speed, but I had no skill to accompany my growth. Hence, the other two methods were also important.

The item that I tried to get was special. It purified the mana that was absorbed from monsters. Because the mana was pure, the Awakener would get extra benefits and could get stronger faster.

With my Enhancement Talent, I could make such an item by myself in the future. However, I had no knowledge about enhancing an item, and more importantly.

'I'm broke.'

As an orphan, Vincent had almost no money. That was one of the reasons why he became a womanizer. He was hoping to live by making those girls pay for him.

So I wanted to get the hidden items in the Academy to be sold to a shop for money.

I didn't need the item for myself. I still had something to do in this Academy, so I couldn't hunt in the dungeon even if I wanted to. And, when I needed the item with an effect to purify Mana, I could always create one myself with Enhancement.

I also didn't register yet in the Awakener Association; this made everything complicated.

'Tsk!' I clicked my tongue.

There were around three more items that could be found in this Academy, and there would be one opportunity to get stronger at a faster rate that would happen in two months.

"Let's just find the item first. If those items are also gone, I guess that thing could happen too."

I had one speculation about why the item could be gone even when it was not supposed to be found yet.

"Tsk! There is someone with the knowledge of my novel lurking in this Academy."

I was not a fool. I was the Author of this world himself.

No one could find the items unless they had knowledge, Luck, or opportunity.

Because I wrote it so.

If there was someone who had knowledge of my novel, there was one suspicious person. I bet that guy was either reincarnated here or transmigrated like me.

But reincarnation was more plausible, as that guy changed a lot of things already.

Because the last volume where everything was revealed had yet to be released, I bet that guy didn't know anything and wanted to live a good life.

"Fucking idiot." I gnashed my teeth as I remembered that guy's smiling face.

He didn't know.

"If he's really a reincarnator… then I guess I need to make a move now instead of waiting for the future plot."

He didn't know the ending of my novel.

"I will make that guy suffer. How dare he live a good life."

He needed to suffer. The main character of this novel needs to suffer.

"I guess I need to become a villain, eh? That's not too bad." I sneered at myself.

An Extra that I wrote as the last villain. Who thought that I would be transmigrated into that Extra and need to make my move even before the start of my story.

"A month. The story will begin in a month, and the opportunity will arrive in this Academy in three months."

To get that opportunity, I couldn't leave this Academy.

Now, after knowing that guy was either a reincarnator or just someone with knowledge of my novel, I need to move right now.

I would make sure of whether he was a reincarnator or transmigrator in the future. The best way to confirm that was by finding his childhood friend, the last heroine.

"Knowing the usual action of a reincarnator, I bet he will leave the Academy in a month after he awakens to get stronger. Mana Breathing was hard, so he will also find a method that suited himself."

He wouldn't risk the change in the plot. So he would try to grab every opportunity that he knew.

Vincent would attend the Academy. At least I needed to stay for three months. If I stayed for three months without hunting at all, that guy would undoubtedly get stronger than me in that meantime, especially if he had the novel's knowledge.

That was why, "Well then, I guess a second identity is needed. As I need not to interact with them without breaking my delinquent persona."

Having the brand of delinquent would help me greatly in this case. No one would try to approach me actively.

And I began to make a concrete plan for the future. "Let's torment him until he's strong enough to save the world."
