Reincarnated as the Chapter 50: My Essence Stones

Chapter 50: My Essence Stones

On the morning after our return to the Axis, I received a ssage asking

to attend a certain hall.

So here I was, standing at the hall’s entrance.

I went inside and found the rest of my class seated in scattered places. Even the two who hadn’t participated in the mission were there.

A blonde girl nad Talia, and a gentle-looking young man nad Jin.

At the front of the hall stood the sa instructor who had briefed us about the mission.

His gaze stopped on ."Caius, you really take your ti on the road."

I smiled apologetically."Sorry, instructor. Breakfast took so ti."

He sighed as if he was about to smash his head against sothing."Fine. Just sit."

I took a random seat as the instructor began speaking.

"After reviewing the reports, I called you here today to review and evaluate your actions during the mission... Here, we will identify the flaws and mistakes you made, and address them to see what the best possible course of action could have been."

I felt irritated by his boring words.

I raised my hand."Instructor, I have a question."

He nodded for

to speak."Go ahead. What is it?"

"When will you announce our rewards?"

He frowned slightly as he replied."Caius, rewards are not the most important thing here. Learning from your mistakes is... However, I will announce them at the end."

I rolled my eyes at his words.

I sighed in disappointnt and rested my head on my hand. The instructor looked annoyed—so much so that I felt he might throw the board in his hand at

at any mont.

But in the end, he looked away from

and turned to the others.

"We’ll start with you, Princess..."

Blah blah blah...

The instructor continued talking about things they could have done better.

Like Garon, who hindered the princess’s team because of his aggressive behavior, and Kyle, who acted on his own.

I stared at the ceiling absentmindedly, waiting for this boredom to end."The ceiling here is really nice," I muttered.

"Caius... Caius..."

What should I eat for lunch?

I hope Alicia astra nova doesn’t contact

today.

Suddenly, I was pulled out of my thoughts by a sharp pain at the back of my head.

I turned to see the instructor standing there, clearly in a bad mood."I’m talking to you. I’ve called your na several tis with no response."

I rubbed the back of my head where he hit

and smiled."Sorry, I was a bit distracted."

He stood there in silence, probably thinking about how he should insult .

Eventually, he sighed and walked back to the front of the hall, his voice echoing throughout the room."Now we’ll discuss the mistake made by your classmate Caius, who seems to pay

no attention at all."

I heard several quiet laughs.

The instructor stopped and turned toward us, his eyes locking onto ."So, Caius, do you have a deficiency in your ntal faculties or what?"

Do I have a ntal deficiency? I thought for a mont before answering."A little... why?"

More quiet laughter spread through the room. I even saw Leona covering her mouth.

He clearly hadn’t expected that answer.

The instructor pressed the electronic board against his face and muttered a few things... probably better left unknown.

"You attacked an entire gang by yourself."

I blinked innocently."What’s wrong with that? Thanks to , we finished the mission early and without much noise."

He looked like he was about to bite the board in his hand, but he managed to restrain himself.

Sighing in surrender, he said,"Let’s move on to your rewards."

Finally, sothing worth listening to.

"Talia and Jin, you will receive nothing. In addition, so points will be deducted from your final evaluation for this term."

Their expressions looked ashad... but who cared?

All I could think about was how many essence stones I would get.

The instructor read out the nas one by one:

"Valia: 20 dium essence stones.Naira: 25...Ivan: 70.Garon: 75.Kyle: 80.Leona: 80.Izel: 90.Ellen: 110....Elliot: 220."

The instructor paused, as if he didn’t want to continue.

"Caius: 600 dium essence stones."

A whistling sound escaped my mouth without

realizing it.

The instructor ignored my reaction and continued."You can go to the academy’s storage basent to collect your stones. Just show your card to the staff there, and they’ll handle the rest."

"You’re dismissed."

I stood up, ignoring everything else, and left the hall.

Six hundred dium essence stones... wait for , I’m coming.

.....

I went straight to collect my essence stones. There were classes I was supposed to attend today, but of course, I wouldn’t.

I entered my room and sat on the couch, then took all the stones out of my ring and placed them on the table.

I stared at the pile of shining stones in front of , happiness filling my chest.

"Finally, the first step on the path to wealth."

I reached out and picked up one of the stones.

Its shape was irregular, glowing with a bright white color. Even without activating my ability, I could feel the dense essence contained within.

I gripped it tightly and slowly sent so of my essence into it. Essence began flowing from the stone into my body.

With each mont, the flow accelerated, and I felt pure essence flooding through .

Ti passed as I absorbed the essence from that stone, condensing within my body and rging with my own.

I felt my essence reserves expand slightly.

After half an hour, the stone lost its glow and turned into a pile of dust in my palm.

I picked up another stone and repeated the process.

I consud them one by one without stopping.

I beca completely imrsed in the process, not even noticing the passage of ti.

All I noticed was that I was getting closer...

To the next rank.
