The Retired Hero is an Extra

Archmage Christopher was a legendary mage from 200 years ago and not many had reached the same level as him in the entire history of the Solarnelle Empire.

In fact, those who achieved similar feats to him could be counted on one hand.

However, Jash had a different reaction after hearing that name, his eyes inadvertently glancing at Caeron, who instantly felt uncomfortable.

'What's going on?' Caeron wondered, unaware that the ghost of Archmage Christopher was laughing hysterically, like an idiot.

"Kuahahahahaha, see, see, this great me has become a legend," Archmage Christopher laughed out loud in his illusory form.

"And yet you died old man," the only woman among them commented.

"Heh! O' Great Swordmaster Alour, just admit that you're jealous because your name has been forgotten," Christopher smirked at the petite woman's ghost.

"Hoho, there's no need to be hostile now is there," an old man said while stroking his beard with a warm smile.

""SHUT UP! YOU SENILE OLD MAN!!""

Both Alour and Christopher shouted at him, getting on each other's nerves like always.

"You should give up on them, Mikhail," a dainty figure commented with his eyes closed, appearing young.

Yet he was in fact the oldest among them, being trapped for centuries before any of them.

"Yeah, we can finally see the changed world, so it's stupid to talk to them," the last among them commented.

He was different from the dainty man, Alkeus, who was an ancient scholar and only coveted texts and history.

Unlike Alkeus, this man, Jack, was a merchant who had the moniker

'The Golden Merchant: the one who never makes losses'.

So, his goal was clear to everyone, to go out and see if his merchant organization was still alive or if it was scourged by the hyenas.

However, all of it eluded the person in question, Caeron, who was oblivious to everything.

The Five Ghosts couldn't actively interact with Caeron, nor could they grant him any of their powers at once as Caeron's mind and body were just too weak.

Of course, it wasn't that their standards were absurd, but if anyone knew about the things they did... they would only blame Caeron for being useless.

Though jealousy would rise in one's heart if one knew of it, there were already two people aware of it: Amael and Jash.

Sadly, neither could do anything about it.

'The five Legends of the past took a liking to Caeron, therefore they all decided to possess him,' Jash sighed secretly, being in deep thought.

He could see how Caeron was feeling uncomfortable during the class, but it was only because the magic being taught in the class got on Christopher's nerves.

The man was an Archmage and knew that all of this was nothing but lies!

True Magic wasn't like that, but could he blame anyone?

No one born after him had discovered it, let alone no one being his equal in his generation or even one generation before him.

'Just what kind of luck he has? He's more of a main character than me!' Jash lamented inside.

Truly, Jash had met Amael who was stronger than the norm and the same went for the protagonist.

Then, there was Ziva, Caera, Vivia, Elara, Lyra, and the list goes on and on...

'Also, the one with a longer Awakening time than me!' he cursed inwardly.

At this moment, Jash truly felt to be nothing more than an extra, but did he hate the feeling?

Not really.

'But why the heck are all of them so freaking useless!!'

He felt enraged at their inability to save this darned world on their own, or even prevent his death.

Like hell he would work hard if he could trust in their abilities.

If it were the old him before getting the memories of his past life, he was sure that he would just leave such troubles to others.

Even currently, Christopher was helping Caeron to get a better understanding of things and increase his proficiency in magic.

The 5 Legends of the Past didn't mean any harm to him, instead granting him any help he needed without him realizing.

'If only I also had some cheat other than these half-baked memories that elude me at the important moment!'

Jash just cursed inwardly, not even paying attention to Sharon anymore, which she obviously noticed, but didn't care about.

It wasn't like the Professors were tasked to teach everyone, their task was to teach the class and answer doubts.

If a student wasn't paying attention, then... it's on them for being negligent.

That's why many nobles were going to fall in their rankings, becoming easier targets for the noble factions.

What better than giving their vain pride a soft stoke and telling them they were special and didn't deserve to be treated similar to commoners??

'I really derailed there, didn't I?' Jash sighed, realizing that he got lost in his thoughts during a class and finally regained his focus.

At that moment, Sharon asked, "Any other questions?"

But no one said anything or raised their hands, prompting her to nod and move on, "Okay, then, to the main point of today's lecture."

"As you see, there are some transparent orbs in front of you, these are affinity orbs which display all your major elemental affinity," Sharon introduced the orbs.

"Each of you will now put your hand on these orbs, and it will show which element suits you best," Sharon ordered the students who followed her words.

A few were already aware of their major affinity element but most were unaware of it.

The results were easily expected, with the most common element of affinity being fire, and then water and so on.

There were no students with the lightning element, but some had rare elements as well.

Caera had affinity with fire, then magma while Rura had affinity with earth and fire while Lyra had affinity with water, wind, and ice.

Vivia only had an affinity with the healing and light element, not surprising given she was from the Church.

The oddball was Caeron who seemed to have affinity with all elements except the mental and space element.

This surprised Sharon quite a bit, but she quickly masked her reaction.

Jash put his hand on the orb, after observing a few of the results, wanting to know if his guess was correct or not.

And the orb instantly showed a golden color representing the light element before changing to red for fire, green for wind, brown for earth, blue for water, light blue for ice, orange for magma, deep green for plant element...

The list went on and on until it turned slightly black in the center, unnoticeable to anyone but Jash before turning purple.

'I have an affinity for both light and darkness?' Jash mused, surprised by it, but it just made him happier.

In the end the orb had almost all the colors from the spectrum, but it was the golden color that shone seemed to be dominating every other.

His results were even more monstrous than Caeron's, astonishing everyone in the classroom, as he even had the Space element, its color being purple.

Thankfully, his orb wasn't the brightest on any of them, being equal for all but the light element.

It truly came as a surprise since he wasn't from the church, but he knew why it was there...
