The Extra Seeks Chaos

Chapter 119 Meeting Riya (2)

After talking with Riya for a while, he found out other things.

Apparently, the Great One had told her to work with Arin and listen to him, which begged the question—was he perhaps chosen by this Great One? But how? And why?

He didn't know the answer to those questions because the Great One only told Riya to listen to him but didn't explain why or even what his goal was. She had only agreed because he showed her the truth about the death of her mother and brother and because he said there would be hope if she listened to Arin.

'I'm very sure that whatever this Great One is doing, it is certainly related to Alex.'

The Great One had also been communicating with Riya. That was how she found out when he was going to fight Alex in the forest and warned him to be careful. That was also how she discovered that, for some reason, Arin wasn't in the Human Realm, prompting her to make an excuse for the students, Lina, and Tessa.

Arin also realized that she didn't know he had gone to the Vampire Realm or that he was a vampire. She had looked suspicious and even asked him where he went, but he changed the topic, making it clear that he didn't want to talk about it.

The item the Great One had given her was also the same mask and cloak he received as a reward from the system, further reinforcing his suspicion that this Great One had something to do with the system.

He also learned that 'Great One' wasn't this person's real name, and even Riya didn't know what it was.

'No wonder it's not visible on the screen,' Arin thought. 'His real name is still hidden.'

'But for what purpose?'

Arin let out a sigh, tapping his fingers on the table. "That's a lot of information..."

Riya smiled. "But I'm sure most things are cleared up now."

Arin nodded. "That's true."

At least he was no longer confused about Riya, and his suspicions of her had also lessened. He had also gotten a bit of information about the unreadable name he had always been curious about—and still was.

"I always pointed you out in class and even asked you to repeat the last thing I said. And I did that more than once," Riya said. "I hope you won't hold that against me."

"That sure was annoying," Arin admitted. "But I'm not holding anything against you."

"Thank you," Riya said with a smile.

"Class is about to begin. It's time to go," she added.@@@@

As they were walking, Riya suddenly cleared her throat, gaining Arin's attention.

"There's been this rumor spreading around that I'm twenty-seven years old," Riya said.

'Why is she suddenly talking about her age?' Arin thought.

"Is it true?" he asked, not wanting it to seem like he wasn't listening.

"Of course not," Riya said. "I'm twenty-one years old."

Arin glanced at her. 'Who the hell would think she's twenty-seven? She clearly looks twenty-one.'

But then, he suddenly realized that he had initially thought she was in her late twenties.

'Was it my imagination?'

They reached the main building and entered the classroom together. As soon as Riya stepped in, all the students quickly sat down.

The class went smoothly before it ended. Riya also made an announcement about the joint ceremony, and as expected, the students couldn't contain their excitement.

Before they left, Riya told Arin that if any issue arose or if the Great One told her anything, she would let him know.

After that, the Weapon Training class was held, and it also ended without any problems.

Arin walked out of the main Academy building before glancing toward the forest. 'I have to meet Tessa today.'

He saw her leaving the building, so he was sure she must have gone there by now.

With that, he began walking toward the forest, and as usual, he wore his mask before arriving.

He entered the forest, and after walking a short distance in, he saw her standing with her arms folded and a calm look on her face.

"Tessa..." Arin called out, making her turn around instantly.

The moment she saw that it was Chaos, a small smile unknowingly formed on her face.
