Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 61 The World Is Cruel...

B-rank Dungeon, Lava Lake

Forest area, behind the volcano.

”But to think we would be teleported so far away from the central area of the dungeon, that really a shame, I might get late and wouldnʼt be able to fight the boss before someone else finishes it up. This is the worst, sigh~” (???)

”Seriously, arenʼt you just too sad about the fact that you canʼt get to fight? Perhaps thatʼs why they call you ʼInsane Liamʼ, big brother Liam!” (Kira)

”Oh, even you are calling me with that name now? And how many times I have told you not to call me your brother, huh?” (Liam)

”But, since Uncle Neo is your father, I think itʼs appropriate to say you my brother, isnʼt it?” (Kira)

Hearing that Liamʼs face turned sad:

”Even though you used to say that you would marry me one day when you were young… Now you are making me your brother… you know, we arenʼt even blood-related, itʼs just my father who considers your father as his brother because they are old comrades, you donʼt have to make me sad that way, you know…” (Liam)

”What are you talking about? I canʼt understand? Shouldnʼt we be focusing on how to get more points as we are on the same team right now…?” (Kira)

”Well, that true too…but, I canʼt understand….?” (Liam)

Hearing Liamʼs question Kira looked confused she, looked at the young boy sitting on the tree, he have dark purple hair and pupils and his face gives the impression of a person who have an extraordinary mind, his aura is calm yet oppressive, this is the youngest son of Neo Aldif, Liam Aldif, currently a student from class A-1.

”Hmm, what?” (Kira)

Liam looked at Kira and said:

”I canʼt understand, what is so good about the loser, Fade? Why are you pursuing him? The Kira I know is nothing like that, she would never help anyone out unless she has something to accomplish from it…” (Liam)

As Liam said, his face has a strange grin on it, if someone sees his face now, they would think that he is a monster in human skin.

(Thatʼs an Aldif family trait. Every time they smile, their face looks scary as a monster, an ordinary person can directly faint by seeing their face alone when they smile, but thereʼs no doubt about their intelligence, thereʼs a saying that ʼif someone says that they can kill people by smiling than either that person is lying or he is an Aldif.ʼ Of course thatʼs just a saying after all.)

”So, what are you trying to accomplish from doing something like this, Kira?” (Liam)

Outside the dungeon, Academyʼs Monitoring Room.

ʼEverything seems to be normal, it seems I was just thinking too much, after all, no one knows about the absence of the principal since we successfully blocked the information from leaking… But still, why is this feeling growing even more, it isnʼt settling at all…ʼ (Anna)

”Ms. Anna, you should take a little rest, if anything goes wrong we will inform you immediately about it.” (Observer 1)

”Naah, I canʼt take rest right now, after all the principal is not in the academy, we canʼt just sit back and leave everything to fate.” (Anna)

”O-okay, then perhaps you should take a stroll outside, it can refresh your mind….Please, Ms. Anna, you have been working non-stop for the past whole month…” (Observer 1)

ʼAlthough an S-ranker like me really has no need to rest or eat or do any other things ordinary humans do, it seems I should take a small stroll outside, it might help reduce the mental stress, sigh~ʼ (Anna)

ʼPerhaps mental stress is also the reason for me feeling uneasy…ʼ (Anna)

”Okay! Since everything seems to be fine here, I am taking a short break, if something happens inform me immediately!” (Anna)

After saying that, Anna looked at the monitor screens one last time and then left the monitoring room, to take a small stroll outside.

”Sigh, she is finally gone…”

”Yeah, I can finally breathe properly…”

”Really man, being in the presence of an S-ranker is really a difficult task, even the unconscious aura she unleashes when she is serious, makes it difficult to breathe, for even A-rankers like us.”

”Yeah, I was actually about to faint from the lack of air, her leaking aura was making even the air heavy, I canʼt believe I have to continue working like that…”

As Anna left the room, the whole observer team started to take deep breaths, apparently, Anna was not able to control her aura properly when she was too focused on the students, she nearly made all of them faint, well… being strong can also have some disadvantages too, after all…

But this is the way things are in this world, even the aura an S-ranker unconsciously unleashes can make even A-rank individuals suffocate, thatʼs why the difference between S-rank and A-rank is considered much greater than the difference between an A-rank and G-rank.

If an A-ranker is someone who has achieved the very heights of the limits of the body capacity, then an S-ranker is someone who has successfully broken through those racial limits and has earned a physique far greater and stronger than any ordinary human.

As someone becomes an S-ranker they gets rewarded and they are considered a higher race different from ordinary human, they are called ʼAscendedʼ people.

(Back to the forest area, Kira and Liam)

”So, what are you trying to accomplish from doing something like this, Kira?” (Liam)

As Liam asked that question, Kira suddenly fell silent for a while:

”W-what are you talking about, brother. I-I am just helping him be-because he is a precious friend of mine, th-thatʼs all there is to it…” (Kira)

Seeing that Kira insisted on keeping the secret hidden Liamʼs face became cold and he stared into Kiraʼs eyes, the atmosphere around them became serious all of a sudden.

”Hmm, so you donʼt want to say? Well, whatever, I will know eventually anyway… But thereʼs one thing I must say, Kira, If I found that you like him or something by any chance, you know what I will do, right? Yeah, I will kill him…because I love you more than anyone else and I wonʼt let anyone take you away from me, as long as I live… you are mine, Kira!” (Liam)

”Y-you think too much, brother, letʼs just focus on our task here, we still have to hunt for monsters, letʼs go.” (Kira)

After saying that Kira ran into the distance, Liam looked at the fading figure of Kira and sighed…

ʼtch, even though I have tried so much, even though I have done so much for you, why are you still trying to run away from me? Donʼt tell me that you are seriously interested in a lowly guy like that trash…ʼ (Liam)

ʼHave you gone blind enough to be unable to see the truth of that trash, he is just taking advantage of you, he is just using you for his own selfish goals, he has no interest in you at all, yet you choose to side with him? Have you gone insane after staying with him for just a few months…ʼ (Liam)

ʼWas that relationship of ours so feeble, that you have started to distance yourself from me, just because of a trash you met just a few months ago!?ʼ (Liam)

Although Liamʼs expression still seemed normal and calm from the outside, from inside he was screaming, screaming from the pain, of being separated from a loved one, screaming from the pain, of your loved one abandoning you, for a measly reason…

ʼYeah, I have decided it! I will kill that trash, I am sure you will return to normal if just that trash dies! Thatʼs it!ʼ (Liam)

Determination appeared on Liamʼs face as if he has already decided what his true goal is, he instantly got up and left in the direction where Kira has ran off to.

But one thing was proven no one becomes a villain on their own, circumstances make a villain, not every villain is pure evil, the world deems them evil, and not everyoneʼs a villain of a story, itʼs a matter of perspective that makes them a villain.

Humanʼs always tend to be like that, driven by selfish goals, which is one of the main reasons for all the suffering, but if thereʼs no selfishness then humans will lose their ability to live and move towards their goals making them more useless, thus itʼs just too complicated to determine what is right what is wrong…

Thatʼs how the world is, ʼCruel and Mercilessʼ. Only the strong have the right to do as they please, while the weak suffer and die a pathetic life….
