Transmigrated as the Novel's Final Boss-Chapter 81:Groupings [1]

Looking toward my left, a wide range of emotions immediately flooded through my brain, threatening to spill out and collapse like a flooded dam.

Pity, envy, longing, anger, and a twinge of jealousy.

As students looked around, trying to find partners, Professor Snape turned back around and began writing on the chalkboard.

[A ball of mana has been released into the academy’s park. Either use mana detection or your knowledge of mana thus far to track it down.]

While the mention of a reward did intrigue me, I wasn’t delusional enough to believe I’d actually win.

I didn’t really need the reward anyway, as the bonus for winning the mana gathering competition yesterday would probably be more than enough. fгeewebnovёl.com

With there being tons of classes going on, elemental particles were bound to be everywhere, so I wouldn’t be able to attract the mana particle with my measly amount of elementals.

And that was my only way to track the mana.

Perhaps, if the whole class used their elemental particles at the same time, we could bring the mana ball here, but otherwise, it was impossible.

I did understand the point of the assignment, though.

Instead of wanting us to create our own elemental particles, Snape wanted us to track the preexisting ones with elemental sight, which was the first step one needed to take to sense their mana.

Elemental sight wasn’t hard to use; everyone in the imperial class, including me, could use it upon realizing their element.

Feeling the ocean of time particles gathered right below my heart, I willed them to move upward, through my neck, and up to my face.

Ignoring my right eye, the grey elemental particles flooded my left eye, forcing me to close my eyes for a second.

And, when I reopened them, the entire world had become colorless, completely grey.

It was as if I were watching a movie from the times before color television was invented.

The brown desks, the vibrant rainforest scene through the window, even Professor Snape and the other students...they were all grey, devoid of any color.

However, in this dull world, there was one shining light.

The broken lectern.

Surrounding the wooden pieces of the lectern on the ground were countless series of pitch-black orbs, the size of a gumball.

Professor Snape’s lingering elementals.

Shadow.

One couldn’t identify elements beyond Derivation based on lingering elemental particles, but I already knew Snape’s primary element from the book.

Like tempo, elemental sight differed for each person as it drew on the user’s knowledge.

For example, the other students who didn’t know Snape’s element would just see a grey elemental orb floating around, not a black one.

The pitch-black orbs formed a path out through the window to the right of Professor Snape, who was simply staring at us with a serious expression.

Within seconds, groups had already formed as Liam and Zeke jumped out of their seats and ran out the sliding door, followed by Charlotte and a member of her supporters, Scarlet.

As groups formed around me, I stood up, slipped through the gap between the third row and Evangel’s chair, and walked down the stairs.

Striding by the broken lectern and the frozen Professor Snape, I was about to exit when a sudden voice echoed from behind me.

"You think you can do it alone? Don’t get cocky, you were facing ameaturs and future janitors."

Immediately, the attention of the remaining students in the classroom fell on me.

Because I wanted to change the plotline, attention wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Conversely, the more attention there was on me, the higher the chance of my being investigated and discovered as a demon.

It was all about balance.

But the second that balance tipped in a certain direction, my death would be inevitable.

As I nodded my head and walked through the door, Snape didn’t do anything, but he once again added.

"Let’s see where that arrogance gets you."

Holding myself back from saying, "Ironic," I walked rightward in the hallway until a large pair of double doors appeared on my right.

The doors were already flipped open, revealing the dense trees and grass of the rainforest environment.

*CHIRP*

*CHIRP*

Different types of birds, all tropical colored, flew atop the trees, and the sun’s rays immediately fell on my face, heating me up.

Walking straight past the rainforest, I found the staircase upward and stepped onto the third floor, leaving the rainforest behind.

Sure, the rainforest was cool to look at, but the moist and wild environment was too much for someone like me who had lived in a heavily populated city back on Earth.

And there, now in front of me, were tons of mini-hills.

It was perfect, not too hot or cold, and the grass was all perfectly trimmed with no animal noises.

Stretching my arms, I lay down diagonally with my back against one of the mini-hills and looked upward through the glass ceiling.

It was as if I were on a recliner.

As time passed by, my eyes slowly closed, the occasional sound of a group of students passing by disturbing me.

Most of them would look at me confused, wondering if I had a free period or was in their class, but besides walking around and looking, they did nothing.

Finally, though, I did feel a small pressure on my shoulder as someone tapped me.

Partially opening my left eye, I saw a familiar face a couple of inches above my face, looking down with interest.

"This assignment must be too easy for you, considering your win yesterday, huh?"

Yawning and raising my head, I glanced right, seeing Liam searching the various hills for any secrets, and said.

"How long has it been?"

Sitting down atop the hill next to mine, Zeke looked around and said.

"Around five minutes. Were you giving the rest of us a head start to make it fair?"

Sitting upright in the dip between two hills, I glanced downward at the rainforest, seeing Mira’s figure, and stood up.
