Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 96 Group Survival Test. Part-7.

Inside the SSA, Central Area, Night of the fourth day.

”You know! That Lion was this…. No this big and she just killed it in one attack! It was so amazing! I am totally a fan of her, sheʼs so amazing” (Riya)

While sitting beside the bonfire around the northern side of the altar, Riya was flailing her small and cute hands in the air and was trying to describe the amazing feats of Lia the mad demon sword to Link, while the newbies of both of their groups had already gone to sleep, Riya was continuing here chatterbox tendencies.

ʼUgh, how many times is she going to tell me about that, this is already the fifth time, can you let me sleep in peace already, sigh~ not even Rio talks about Lia that much…ʼ (Link)

”Moreover, not only me, there are several other girls who are very big fans of Lia, after all, she was the strongest among all the girl warriors last year.” (Riya)

”I even saw several first-year students asking her for autograph!” (Riya)

While saying that Riya seemed to have stars shining in her eyes and excitement was written all over her face, she looked just like a fan girl who was trying to describe her love for her idol.

Looking at Riya, Link shook his head and sighed heavily in his mind:

ʼIf not for the fact that Lia is a girl and she has a boyfriend, I would have thought she was a womanizer, so many girls are chasing after her, sigh~ʼ (Link)

Seeing that Riya was still going to continue her endless chat, Link had a thought in his mind:

ʼLooks like I have to use my secret weapon to get her to stop talking….ʼ (Link)

”Hey, itʼs getting late, how about you go to sleep now, Riya? We still have to fight tomorrow, morning….” (Link)

Hearing Link asking her to go to sleep, Riya puffed her small and cute face and replied:

”No, I still have many things to tell you, like how Lia ripped a monsterʼs heart apart and gave it to me to eat…. She said it tasted better than candy but it was horrible…” (Riya)

(Listen, kids, donʼt eat any suspicious thing given to you by a beautiful-looking girl she might have ulterior motives.)

”If you are not going to sleep then I would tell your big sister that you snuck those ultra-sweet candies and ate them secretly at night….. wait why did you even eat that monsterʼs heart!? I had already told you to not trust everything people say, you! Enough! This time I will definitely tell your big sister to ban your candies! ” (Link)

(Actually, Lia gave that monster heart to Riya because eating it could help her recover from exhaustion, after all, Riya had to run away for quite a while from that Lion monster and she was fatigued and anxious, Lia had good intentions but her way of expressing them is indeed weird.)

Link was genuinely quite a bit angry from hearing that Riya was so na?ve to believe any nonsense Lia said. If not for Rio, Link would have already gone ahead to ask for an explanation from Lia.

Link glared at Rio and Lia sitting nearby with anger in in eyes.

Looking at Link who looked angry, Riya burst into tears:

”No! Not my candies! Anything but my candies!” (Riya)

….

….

”Why is that guy glaring at us like that, is he itching for a beating or something….” (Rio)

”Who knows~” (Lia)

While Link was glaring at them, a small cat suddenly appeared on Liaʼs shoulder out of thin air, the cat had pure white fur and it looked very soft and cute, yet it seemed to have humanoid wisdom in its eyes.

[Well, Lia fed that girl a monster heart, of course, that guy would be angry, no matter the intentions it is still strange to do such a thing.] (Kai)

[I have to say, you have some unique taste, Lia] (Kai)

Rio and Lia both heard the voice of Kai, which he conveyed in their mind directly with telepathy. Yes, this small cat was the unsummoned form of Kai that he could take and appear beside Lia. Only when Lia summons him can he take his full form otherwise he could only make do with this small cat body.

[But you know, I also prefer my summoner to have some unique traits otherwise itʼs boring-] (Kai)

Just when Kai was about to continue talking, Rio instantly caught his neck with his hand and pushed him against the ground with his left hand, his right hand brought out his sword, which was pulsating with a black aura around it, Rio was ready to attack. (Note:- No fluffy cats were abused during the making of this. Itʼs just fiction. So, donʼt throw rocks at the author.)

[Wait! Wait! What are you doing!? Calm down, little guy! How about we talk it out!? Hey! Say something, Lia!] (Kai)

Hearing Kai shouting for help, Lia looked at him for a while and said:

”Who? I donʼt know you…” (Lia)

[What!? This is not the time to be kidding!] (Kai)

Kai looked at Rioʼs blade that was hanging right above his head:

[Wait! Is that sword intent!? K-keep that thing away from me! Sword intent is like poison to the spirit beings! Keep that away!] (Kai)

Rio looked at Kai for a few seconds before asking Lia:

”Is this an evil spirit? Should we purify it?” (Rio)

[No! I am not an evil spirit! I am a very good spirit!] (Kai)

”All bad individuals say that they are good people….” (Rio)

[What!? No!] (Kai)

After threatening Kai for a little while longer Lia told Rio about how Kai came to be and Rio finally sheathed his sword. Seeing that the misunderstanding had been cleared Kai finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Just when Kai was about to jump at Liaʼs shoulder to lie down, Rio caught him again, a demonic smile appeared on his face and he whispered in a very scary tone:

”Listen, my buddy, donʼt try any funny business with Lia. You better stay away from her, otherwise….hehehe” (Rio)

[O-okay] (Kai)

(Imagine a punk or a delinquent-like guy whispering threats to your ear in an eerie voice, while putting his arm on your shoulder like a best friend. This is how Rio sounds to Kai right now.)

Although Kai was agreeing on the surface, he was actually cursing at Rio in his mind:

ʼDamn it! This guy is insane! And he even has sword intent too! His obsession with this girl is huge enough to put the vast sky to shame… better to stay away from this maniac!ʼ (Kai)

In the end, Kai decided to stay a meter away from both of them, while lying down he glanced at Rio from time to time:

ʼThis guyʼs eyes look so dead and empty, he doesnʼt even seem to have emotions, is this guy even human!? And what is this unsettling aura that I feel from him, he is very strange, tsk, forget it! I would just go to sleep!ʼ (Kai)

…

…

There are five bonfires around the altar for five different groups to spend the night, Link and Riya were staying near the one north of the altar and Rio and Lia were staying near the west one.

But Liam and his group were staying away from each other near the southern bonfire. While the three newbies were already sleeping, Liam was lying down on the back of his summoned beast wyvern.

”Looking at this clear sky filled with stars reminds me of the first day I summoned you, Ellie, itʼs quite nostalgic, I was quite the na?ve kid back then…” (Liam)

”Well, you used to run around with tears and snot covering your face all around your house when you were small, but you were very cute back then, hehe” (Ellie)

”You make me sound like a brat…” (Liam)

”Hmm, you were actually a very arrogant brat when you were young, you once ordered me arrogantly to eat the veggies that you used to hate, haha” (Ellie)

”Is that even true? Or are you just making fun of me now?” (Liam)

”You may have forgotten but itʼs indeed true…” (Ellie)

Suddenly Ellieʼs voice turned serious and she said:

”Do you need my help tomorrow?” (Ellie)

”No, not tomorrow but perhaps when the group battle happens, then I will summon you, you just need to be ready…” (Liam)

”Well, as you wish, just be careful...” (Ellie)

Authorʼs notes.

Yo! Hereʼs your beloved author, we are at the sixth day of continuous uploads, but my main motivation actually comes from your comments so be sure to write your thoughts about the chapter before leaving. Thanks for reading.

Question of the day

Would you eat any food given to you by Lia?

1. Yes! (Anything for the maiden, protect the maiden!)

2. No! (I-I will pass, donʼt like the taste of a monster heart…)

3. Others.

Hidden option:

4. Seal it! (Seal the food in air-tight packaging to take it as a family heirloom. Would be a good material to brag about to your grandchildren.)( Getting something from a gift from a maiden is an ultra-rare class event after all.)

By the way, donʼt forget to use those power stones and also leave a review if you like the story. Comment your opinion about the chapter. Your support is my motivation.
