The Extra's Harem In Dead End Game

Chapter 55: Mana Sensitivity Test [3]

"Wow... Is that guy really an idiot?"

It's all audible, you crazy guy. Dennis with his dual personality. Even such a problem child seems to be shocked by my actions right now.

But in a way, it's unfair. This isn't my original idea, it's just a trick that someone with anger management issues happened to find. In the end, I'm getting all the attention that was supposed to go to that guy.

'Well, still, this is better.'

From the second time on, it's just copying. So, if I'm going to do it, I might as well do it with a bang first.

"It burns well. Really well." I muttered, looking at the blazing flames.

"Hehehehehehehehe..."

Tofuminded Sunny was laughing like a madman, shocked again. I don't particularly need to care about such a guy, but... Huh?

"Huhuhu... Huhuhuhuhuhu..."

Why is she laughing and going crazy too?

"Hey, why are you laughing like that?" I frowned and said a word to Riviera.

"Just because."

"Don't laugh."

"Why?"

"It's creepy."

Isn't it creepy when a woman who was slaughtering party members covered in blood laughs like that?

"Dog-like words. Remember. I will definitely remember." Riviera muttered grumpily.

To interpret, it means I will never forget that dog-like nonsense, you bastard.

Surprisingly, it translates smoothly.

Whoosh.

Suddenly, the wind blew, and the smoke turned towards me.

"Cough,... Cough. Damn."

My eyes stung, and I coughed from my throat. Seeing that, Riviera let out an unpleasant laugh, moving only her lips with an expressionless face.

"Huhuhu."

No need for deduction. The culprit is her.

"Sigh."

Let's ignore it, ignore it. I don't have the luxury to play along with such childish revenge, do I? I returned to what I was doing.

"Let's do this in one go."

I had no intention of wrestling with the sweaty heat for long. I need to get it done quickly and rest. I buried my head towards the stones. I squinted and scrutinized something as closely as possible.

What I was examining was the smoke. That's what everyone would think. Because that's what I intended it to look like.

But...

'The real thing is the smell.'

One would say, what kind of nonsense is this? I thought so at first, too. But the cheat sheet clearly stated this.

In a moment of despair, I faintly smelled something like the crisp winter sea. But... What the hell is a crisp winter sea smell, you crazy bastard?

If you're going to write it, write it properly. What are you writing, a literary novel? Well, that's why he's sitting there writing the cheat sheet like an essay. But I admit it. He's an amazing guy.

To catch a smell in that situation and use it as a clue to find a breakthrough, isn't he a cool guy?

Anyway, in conclusion, that strange smell was actually the smell of mana burning. He caught it like a ghost. That guy, he must have a nose like a dog. No, just a dog.

'Sniff, I can smell food like a ghost, too…

My survival sense of smell was also developed. I subtly focused on my sense of smell.

Of course, outwardly, I pretended to be diligently examining something with my eyes

The guys here are competitors I have to step on anyway. I have to suppress them to move up to the upper class. So I suck the honey, but I can't stand them sucking the honey.

'Hmm, where.'

Not this one.

Not this one either.

Not this one either.

This one's out, too.

Not this one either...?

Wait.

I frowned and returned to the starting point, having sniffed the stones with my sense of smell. With this number, statistically, at least one should stand out. That's statistics and science.

But there's not a single one that catches? That can't be.

"Hoo." I took a long deep breath.

'That's food. It's the smell of food. It's something to eat.'

I hypnotized myself and concentrated on my sense of smell again. This time, for sure.

Sniff, sniff.

I smelled the scent coming from the stones in a trance. How much time had passed? At some point, I caught a very thin something different from before at the tip of my nose.

'Huh? Is this it?'

A crisp fragrance as if a drop of mint scent was added to a one-ton water tank.

'Wow... Crazy, I felt that? Was I some kind of dog in a past life?'

This is not a level that humans can detect.

Even though I knew and concentrated like crazy, I could barely feel it. The guy who wrote the cheat sheet must have a nose like a dog. No, just a dog.

'Anyway, that means.....'

Most guys won't even notice. Even if they catch on to my actions, there will hardly be anyone who can go further.

'Hehe, good. I'm the only one who should suck the honey.'

With a smug smile, I picked out the stone I had just detected with my foot.

First one.

And repeated the same process. Eventually, I picked out three scented stones.

"That's it."

As if there was nothing more to see, I extinguished the fire with a water ball spell.

Then I grabbed the three stones and stood up with great momentum.

"Let's go."

I took the lead, grabbing the nape of Sunny's neck, who still hadn't come to his senses, as if dragging him along.

"Hmm, not bad."

Riviera muttered with a strange expression.

It seemed unexpected that I had chosen the right answer. I must have looked like quite a fool.

Original Max is a fool. But I'm not. You useless team member.

"Of course, people don't seem to think so."

"What the hell? He found the real answer with that crazy act?"

"He's just showing off to get attention. What can such a guy find?"

"If that blockhead's answer is right, I'm not a person but a dog."

The guys openly belittled me.

I understand.

Max has been that kind of guy until now. But from now on, watch closely with those two eyes. I'll show you what kind of person I am.

"Ah, it's so noisy. Those who are later than me, shut up."

I looked around and shouted. A charisma that instantly overwhelms the atmosphere.

As if there could be such a thing. In the eyes of the other guys, I was just a problem child, a thug.

"What?"

"Ugh, that insolent guy!"

"Talking nonsense without knowing his place!"

Harsh stares and curses poured out at me. It's a situation where I should feel bad. But I felt a strange catharsis instead.

The situation itself, whether it's hostility or whatever, brought a strange thrill from the base.

Only then did I understand. Why attention seekers deliberately draw aggro to gather people's attention. I smiled unpleasantly at everyone as if to show off. And then I handed the stone to Professor Karen.

"Well, then please evaluate it."

"Huh. Well, okay."

Professor Karen took the stone.

Our eyes met. Her red eyes still harbored a sense of interest. Her lips were slightly smiling as if amused. I also twisted my lips into a smile, not to be outdone.

After a while, she tossed them into the basket as if there was nothing to see.

"It's a perfect score. Excellent."

The moment Professor Karen's words flowed, the surroundings were instantly enveloped in silence.

It was as if time had suddenly stopped. And that stopped time soon returned with a tremendous explosion.
