Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 52 Rio’s First Defeat, Lia The Mad Sword Demon...

Academy training Ground No. 4

This place is a huge hall, from huge I mean extremely huge…. Approximately five thousand people can be accumulated in this hall, even then there would still be enough free space for everyone.

Generally this place is only used when a teacher is going to take a practical or combat class which. The tiles and materials used to create this place are so tough that if an A-rank uses his full force attack on them it would still not receive much damage.

This place is perfect for combat, since thereʼs basically no way a student can put a single scratch on this building afterall. Right?

[Body strengthening!]

[Concentration!]

[Sword Aura: Fire type!]

[Sword Intent!]

Rio used all his buffing and enhancing skill at once and the B rank aura emitted by his body was so great that it alone was making cracks in the floor.

”Here I come, Mr. Jin…” (Rio)

Without waiting for any answer Rio attack right away his sword directly aimed for the neck, he was aiming for a direct one shot kill attack, but the problem is using a huge amount of mana in all this making it a do or die situation, if he doesnʼt land this attack successfully, he would run out of his mana and if this attack land he will be the winner.

ʼNow is not the time to think too much, I would give it my all… here we go!ʼ (Rio)

Just when the attack was about to land on Jinʼs neck, it stopped…. it wasnʼt Rio who stopped it of course! Jin was holding a great-sword in his right hand which seemed to appear out of nowhere and blocked Rioʼs sword very easily. Rioʼs sword wasnʼt even able to move a little bit against that huge great-sword.

A surprised expression appeared on Rioʼs face for the first time since he had transmigrated in this world, after all this is the first time he wasnʼt able to defeat his opponent. Although, Rio was not expecting his attack to actually succeed but he didnʼt thought it would be so easy to stop his attack…

ʼSo, this is the strength of an S-rank swordsman, I wasnʼt even able to see my sword being blocked…ʼ (Rio)

”Heh, you are better that I originally expected kid…” (Jin)

A satisfied smile appeared on Jinʼs face:

”This is the first time a student was able to force me bring out my sword ever since I have joined this academy as a teacher, generally, I just block it with my two fingers… as I expected you are talented kid…but you are still too young!” (Jin)

A cold smile appeared on Jinʼs face and he punched Rio on chest with his left hand. The shockwave produced by that punch made Rio fly away.

Rioʼs body flew away like an arrow and directly collided with the wall of the hall.

The floor of the hall got destroying all the way from Jin to where Rio was flown away to, just only this can show how powerful that single attack was.

”Uck!” (Rio)

Rio spit out blood from his mouth, but Rio didnʼt waste any time and tried to stabilize his body and stand slowly:

”What!? You are still conscious? You are surprisingly tenacious… that punch would have been enough to make an A-rank go unconscious!” (Jin)

Just when Rio was trying to stand, Jin hit the back of his neck and Rio fell unconscious directly by this blow.

”You should go and sleep kid donʼt struggle so much…” (Jin)

Academy Infirmary. Room No. 598

ʼhmm….. I… lost…. As expected of an S-rank….ʼ (Rio)

Rio slowly opened his eyes and sat on the bed and the very first thought that came to his mind was how he lost so easily to Jin. But instead of making him demotivated, Rioʼs determination increased even more and a slight smile appeared on his face.

ʼBut now I know the difference between me and an S-rank, if I just work hard I would eventually reach that level too someday!ʼ (Rio)

Just when Rio was contemplating on how to increase his strength in future and was busy in his own world, the gate of the infirmary room burst open with a bang.

”Are you awake now Rio!? Are you alright!? Are you hurt somewhere!? Hey! Tell me if you are hurt!” (Lia)

Liaʼs eyes were filled with tears while she tried to inspect Rioʼs chest but since she wasnʼt able to see it because it was covered by his shirt she chose to ask instead.

Seeing her worried expression Rio felt sudden warmth inside him, this was an unknown and strange feeling for him, after all seeing someone caring and worrying about you is a new and unknown feeling to an orphan like him.

ʼI must become strong, if want to protect her that is….ʼ (Rio)

Rio smiled a little and said:

”I am okay, you can rest assured….” (Rio)

”As I thought you are injured after all, the Rio I know never smiles at all, are you sure you are not feeling unwell or something.” (Lia)

”Do you take me for an emotionless machine or something, of course I smile too.” (Rio)

”But I am happy to see that you are worried about me, Lia my dear girlfriend…” (Rio)

Rio said with a teasing look on his face:

”Wh-wha, who said I am worried about you!? I just came to see if you are okay or not, donʼt mistake, hmph!” (Lia)

”Since you are capable of teasing me even now, then you must be feeling alright, right?” (Lia)

”Yeah, I am feeling good, just a bit tired, thatʼs all…” (Rio)

”w-well if you say so, I am relieved that you are okay. I will bring something to eat for you later, you should rest more, the head healer said that you need to rest for a whole day, he wasnʼt even allowing to let me come here but I convinced him that by saying that I will only visit for a few minutes…. so I wonʼt disturb you anymore, get well soon, bye.” (Lia)

”Bye, love you” (Rio)

Hearing this Liaʼs whole face became red, but her heart was already feeling extremely excited right now.

”hmph, idiot Rio!” (Lia)

.

After Lia walked out of the Room she met Riya standing outside the room next to the one Rio was in.

ʼHmm, isnʼt that the younger sister of principle, what is she doing here, oh! I see sheʼs a healer! She must be looking out on a patient or something. Well it doesnʼt concern me anyway.ʼ (Lia)

ʼEven if I approach her, given my reputation she might not even talk to me, so letʼs just ignore the fact that I see her.ʼ (Lia)

Just when Lia was about to leave the place Riya called out:

”Uh, are you perhaps the ʼMad sword demonʼ Lia? I am your huge fan! Can you give me an autograph here on my notebook…” (Riya)

Stars were shining in Riyaʼs eyes as if she was extremely excited to see Lia.

”hah! What!? I am not mad! Who the heck even came up with that name!? It make me sound like a killer or something!” (Lia)

Riya didnʼt take it to heart but she became even more excited every second she talked to Lia.

”eh, but all the students in the class say that when referring to you, donʼt you know about that, well if you donʼt like it I wonʼt say it again, but give me an autograph please! Please!” (Riya)

”What? Why are you even my fan in the first place, I havenʼt done anything for you at all…” (Lia)

Visible confusion appeared on Liaʼs face.

” Well you see, you are strongest of all the female students in our class, not to mention your all the students fear you, you looked so cool the other day when beat down those ten guys all by yourself, I also want to be like you can you be my friend, please, pretty please!” (Riya)

ʼShe is making me sound like a school bully…but her face seems so enthusiastic, could it be that this girl have some problem in her brain…ʼ (Lia)

”W-well, I donʼt mind being friend with you…” (Lia)

”Yes! I am so happy! Finally I was able to make friends with the cool and intimidating Lia, I feel like I am gonna explode from excitement…. Ah! As an appreciation gift I would give you these ultra-rare candies of mine, here!” (Riya)

”o-oh, thanks… I should get going now…” (Lia)

”bye-bye…” (Riya)

.

Inside Rioʼs infirmary room, Rio wasnʼt able to hearing what was going on outside due the walls being soundproof, thus he was not disturbed by the overly enthusiastic Riya.

”fuuu… finally I have recovered all of my mana... but judging by the fact that I was out of mana from just one attack I must work hard to increase it.” (Rio)

ʼTo think a Mid-rank villain like Jin would be so strong…ʼ (Rio)
