The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra

Chapter 20: Tears For Someone Lost In Time [1]



*****

Amon Ashford.

An intriguing person.

This was how Elizabeth would describe her if someone were to ask about him.

Her first impression of him was quite high.

In fact, if there was one person she would rate the highest out of everyone she had seen on her first day, it would be him.

It was for a plain simple reason actually.

His emotions.

Born in a noble household famous for their innate trait of being able to see other's emotions, Elizabeth stood out even among them.

It was because when she was born, out of all the members in the family's history, she was found to have the strongest innate trait out of all.

Normally, a Silvercrest can only tell a person's emotions name through their eyes.

For example, if a person is feeling sadness, then they can see through their eyes that they are sad at the moment.

But for Elizabeth, she can see much more than that.

For her eyes, emotions were displayed to her like a color palette.

She could tell a person's current emotions by the colors surrounding their body.

Not only that, she could even see further as to what was the cause of that emotion.

This was why she was hailed as a prodigy among prodigies in the Silvercrest Household. Being born as a noble, she had already faced exposure to a wide variety of emotions from birth.

Jealousy, Envy, Rage, Wrath, Lust.

All these emotions had become normal for her to see over time in the household, especially the first and last.

No matter how genuine and kind a person was from the outside, she could always see their true emotions.

The ones that they harbored deep within themselves.

There was always jealousy and envy in a person.

That's what made them human after all.

On her first day at the academy, she went to the campus not expecting anything new.

Her sister had tried to cheer her up and motivate her to make some new friends but for her, she doubted that there would be this much progress on the first day.

Her sister had left early on the first day, because of her duties to maintain discipline.

Therefore, she had walked to campus alone.

She wasn't keen on making friends.

She was more of an introvert and only liked to keep close friends even though she had none at the moment.

However, something surprising happened for the first time in her life as she arrived at the

campus.

At the entrance, she saw a frail average-looking boy, casting his gaze around the campus without any aim.

There wasn't anything special about it.

He was just a normal student who was lost and was trying to find his way around.

She knew him.

Her sister had told her about the younger brother of her best friend and how he was also set to enter the campus tomorrow.

Her sister hoped that they would get a chance to meet and hopefully be friends.

Unfortunately, Elizabeth wasn't quite keen on meeting him.

However, it was when she saw him, that she knew he was different from the rest.

The special and intriguing part about him to her was his emotional palette.

For her, the aura that surrounded a person was their emotions.

And the color of that aura was the respective emotion they had.

And the deeper the color, the stronger the emotion.

Also, there could be multiple colors of the aura, which indicates multiple emotions of the target.

And the closer a color was to the target's body in the aura, the more they hid that emotion.

The true emotion, as she called it.

However, for the boy, she saw no true emotions.

He was hiding nothing inside him.

Rather, all she saw was a pitch-black void close to him.

Surprisingly, she saw no hint of green in his aura, which indicated envy.

It was intriguing and surprising for her, to say the least.

Her curiosity in him exceeded further, when she talked to him and was surprised to see no trace of lust arise in his palette.

This had become normal for her.

Whenever a male would set their eyes for the first time on her, their lust ratio would visibly increase in the palette.

Talking to him felt surprisingly good, as if for the first time she was talking to someone

natural.

Someone's real face.

She guided him to the class and was also surprised to find out that he was in the same one as

her.

After separating from him, she truly realized how different she was when she entered the class and immediately saw eyes of lust set upon her.

Following that incident, she thought she wouldn't see him anymore because of such a high- rank difference between them.

He was the weakest person out of everyone and she was the strongest.

Yet, he caught her attention once again during the elemental tense when he intentionally hurt himself to use his element.

She could see that it was his first time experiencing this amount of pain by how he had fainted right after, but had still gone to such lengths for just a test.

Even after he had woken up, talking to him felt strangely refreshing as compared to all those

others she talked with.

His palette was so clean and casual that it didn't suffocate her when talking to him.

After he had invited Elizabeth and her sister to dinner, she was surprised to find him so good

at cooking.

The food was a lot better than anything she had tasted around these days.

She also felt a change in his emotions as a bright yellow color bloomed in the outer part, indicating his happiness that they liked it.

Seeing that he was not eating the dish, she had asked him why he wasn't eating and

apparently he had forgotten.

However, as soon as he took one bite and munched a few times, his face went rigid and

lowered itself, hiding it from their eyes.

Elizabeth, who was confused as to what happened, entered a deep state of shock as she saw a

dark blue overpower his whole palette.

And dark blue indicated.....

Immense Sadness.

What was more shocking was the reason for the sadness she saw.....

Longing.

Longing for a close one.

Someone who he had lost.

And when she lowered her face, she saw tears running down his cheeks to no avail.
