Chapter 94: Lessons And Trip [1]
****
Confirming his choice, the system interface disappeared.
Instantly, a large influx of information assaulted his brain.
He clutched his head at the sudden hit.
This continued for several minutes as Amon's vision completely blanked out.
Finally, the lightheadedness receded and he let out a deep sigh.
He clenched his fists and opened them multiple times, to get used to the new feeling.
Zephyra was looking at him but he didn't match her gaze and kept looking at his fingers.
Then, he did a flick using his thumb and middle finger.
The clover mark on the back side of his palm glowed in a gray hue.
A symphonic ripple resounded in the air, making his lips curl up into a slight smile.
'Nice..'
He had just tested his Sound element.
He could sense that Zephyra was looking at him intriguingly but he ignored her.
Now..
Time for the next element, he thought.
He closed his eyes and channeled his mana again.
Like before, his clover mark glowed in a cyan hue.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at his two fingers, which were now covered in a gray- turquoish diamond coating.
Using the knife that he used earlier, he tapped it a few times in the coating, an ear-piercing noise echoing with each tap.
A smile pulled at his lips.
It was good in terms of hardness. The crystal was just as if not more hard than a diamond.
Expending some more mana, he shaped the edges of the crystal at his fingertips into an arched nail.
It looked more like a monster claw.
Without an ounce of hesitation, he slashed the two fingers at his other arm.
A cracking sound occurred in the expanse as if a sharp sword was clashing with concrete or stone.
He looked at his arm, noticing two minuscule slashes at the spot where he attacked, with some cracks spreading outward.
It was good. The sharpness of the element was exceptional, comparable to a tungsten needle from his previous world.
But then, his slight smile disappeared and his brows creased into a small frown.
There were just some problems with this.
One was that the part that was coated by the element would become really heavy while also restricting the freedom of movement.
This was because while keeping his part coated with the element, he had to continuously transition his elemental mana with each movement to keep his movements seamless.
Otherwise, the body part would become rigid because of the disruption of mana in his body. This was something that was supposed to be taught by Daniel in the later classes so he wasn't quite worried about that.
It could also be fixed by just using Crystal as an offensive element with spikes and spears rather than coating his body.
He wanted to do that but for now, the defense aspect was his main focus.
Another problem was his mana expenditure.
To coat his body continuously and keep the crystal hard, he had to continuously supply mana to it.
Though this issue would be resolved at later levels of the element or by having a large mana pool, it was a disadvantage for him right now.
But overall, he wasn't regretful about his choices.
Rather, he was quite satisfied. Both elements' advantages overpowered their current problems for him.
Especially so because of the upcoming situation. After seeing their capabilities, both of them were perfect for what he wanted to do.
Amon stopped supplying mana to the crystals and within a few seconds, they shattered.
Looking back at Zephyra, he nodded.
"Well, anything else?" she asked.
Amon shook his head.
There were still the [Void Training] rewards but he could just check them after he got back.
"That's everything, I can leave now?" He asked with a tilt of his head and she nodded.
She gave a slight smile to him which he didn't return and clapped her hands.
"I'll meet you in the real world then." She playfully winked and a flicker of confusion passed through his stoic expression.
But just before he blacked out, it hit him...
'Oh.....fuck' He cursed as his vision darkened.

Amon woke up with a flash.
As he seated up, his eyes wandered to the window.
It was already light outside.
His body was refreshed because of a good night's sleep but his mind wasn't.
After all that hard work, it was strained.
"It's so nice to see your room in person now." He heard a crisp and pleasant voice from beside
him.
Recognizing it, he sighed and looked to the side.
At a meter away from him, Zephyra was looking at his table, observing the vase and things
placed on it.
Surprisingly, unlike in her domain, she was wearing casual clothes right now, with a summer
white blouse, black skirt, and stockings.
His mouth twitched.
"My life is fucked." He mumbled.
Noticing the tiny movement, her gaze moved towards him, locking with his inky black eyes.
"Did you say something?"
"No, I didn't. You are imagining things."
"You did, didn't you?"
"No."
"You did."
He sighed.
"Leave it, where did you get these clothes from?" He asked.
She looked at her clothes and her mouth contorted to an 'o'.
"Oh, this. I just flicked my fingers and they changed to this."
"Huh?"
"Despite being in front of you now, I can still do things to myself." She flicked her finger.
Her dress changed to a completely new one and then she flicked again, reverting to her
previous one.
"Oh yeah, never mind." Amon felt like facepalming himself.
"Anyways, stay here. I need to go to my classes otherwise I'll be late." He got out of bed.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, people would question me if I had a beautiful woman walking and sitting next to me
everywhere." He explained.
"Oh that, you don't have to worry about it."
"Hmm?" Amon tilted his head.
"No one can see me besides you." She answered making his brows rise up.
As if to demonstrate, she reached her hand out for the table.
But to Amon's surprise, it passed through it.
"I can neither be seen nor touched by anyone except you. Even you can only interact with me
'cause you are my herald." She explained.
"Oh, I see." He answered.
"Though I can be seen and interact at later stages." She explained causing him to nod.
"I see." He concluded and turned to go to the shower.
She followed him but just as he reached the door, he looked back at her with an obvious look.
"Stay outside." He said bluntly and she tilted her head.
"Why?" she asked and he headed inside and shut the door.
"I said stay outside and no passing through the door."
She spoke from outside.
"But why??" she asked.
"What do you mean why? Even though others can't see you, I still can. Have some basic
manners." He answered from inside.
"What is there to even hide when I have seen every nook and cranny of you? I saw it so many
times so why are you stopping me now?" She retorted.
He instantly answered.
"Because previously it was because of the circumstances!"
Zephyra's face twitched.
"You humans and your manners, we gods never shied away."
"I don't care, now stay outside and no peeking." He answered before turning silent.
She clicked her tongue and went back to his bed.
At the end, she did end up peeking but Amon never found out.
