Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 120 A Prank!?

Jin opened the door and entered the meeting room after heaving a small sigh. This was the first time he was going to meet three SS-rankers at the same time.

Even though Jin was an S-ranker before, it was still very rare for him to meet SS-rankers in person. Most of the time he only saw them from afar and rarely ever talked with them. But now he was a part of that aloof and mighty group, which was known to the world as ʼDemi-godsʼ.

*step*

When Jin took the first step and tried to enter the room, immense pressure appeared out of nowhere and tried to suppress Jin. Although he was surprised a little bit, he knew that it was just a test, he shrugged his shoulder and released a bit of his aura, completely getting rid of that pressure.

Jin looked at the source of the pressure and said in a sarcastic tone.

”Hmph, itʼs not nice to bully newbies…” (Jin)

Neo took his aura back and stopped pressuring Jin, he smiled in satisfaction and said:

”Ho! It seems you have some capabilities, good good…” (Neo)

Hearing Neoʼs fake praise, Jin rolled his eyes.

”Is that so…” (Jin)

Jin didnʼt mind the mocking tone of Neo and directly walked towards his designated seat. He sat on the empty couch and folded his hands, showing his dignity as an SS-ranker.

Although three SS-rankers were staring at him intently, Jin didnʼt even flinch a little bit.

ʼI have nothing to fear now, if it came down to violence, I can hold myself quite well now…ʼ (Jin)

Seeing that Jin was not going to get scared off and was able to hold his ground against them, Ashtel nodded his head in satisfaction and Raji didnʼt bother saying anything.

This meant that Jin was acknowledged by all three of them now. He was now considered a member of this group.

For a while no one talked and the four of them stayed silent. The atmosphere in the room became awkward. Jin sat with his eyes closed and hands folded, while Neo continued to stare at him intently. (Bro is conspiring on how to prank this newbie… heʼs a menace!)

After a good ten minutes of awkwardness, Neo got bored and finally decided to start the meeting.

”Ahem! Okay, jokes aside! Letʼs start the meeting now. We still have to decide on many important matters... oh Jin is new so… ah! Raji gives him information about the works of an SS-ranker after the meeting…” (Neo)

Hearing Neo, Raji replied in a cold tone:

”What? Why do I have to do that!? Canʼt you do it yourself!?” (Raji)

Neo didnʼt even bother to look at Raji and continued to talk:

”Okay now that matter is solved, we need to discuss the other matter…” (Neo)

A hologram appeared on the small table, it showed the map of the human empire.

”tsk” (Raji)

Seeing that Neo wasnʼt even listening to her, she could only click her tongue and continue to show her dissatisfaction by glaring at Neo. (It does not affect Neo, he is a married man, cough! Although a little unfaithful… but he is married nonetheless cough!)

Neo stretched his hand and zoomed in on the southern part of the map. A large port city appeared in the hologram.

”This is the port city of ʼOaklumʼ and these four military camps are located around this area….” (Neo)

Neo glanced at Jin for a moment and continued to explain, while the other two looked at him in confusion, they didnʼt know what Neo wanted to do by showing them all this.

”And these are all the districts and details of the southern region…” (Neo)

Then Neo glanced at Jin once again.

This time Jin got irritated and finally asked:

”What? Why are you looking at me like” (Jin)

Neo tilted his head and replied with a creepy smile on his face:

”Well of course because you are going to be responsible for the safety of this area from now on… thatʼs why I am explaining it to you…hehe” (Neo)

Jin looked at the map again and said in a surprised tone:

”What!? You want me to guard such a huge area! This area is too vast!” (Jin)

Before Jin could say anything else, Neo glanced at the other two and asked:

”Letʼs vote then, who is against Jin guarding the southern area and who is against it raise your hands!” (Neo)

Hearing Neo, both Ashtel and Raji raised their hands in unison:

”Yes, I support Jin guarding the southern area…” (Ashtel)

”Me too!” (Raji)

Hearing the response of the two, Neo smiled and said in a mocking tone:

”Hehe, three against one, the votes have been given and the majority is with you guarding this area, now donʼt dilly dally, take responsibility like a man should!” (Neo)

Listening to Neoʼs mocking remarks, Jin could only grit his teeth and glare at him fiercely, he knew that his work was going to increase after becoming an SS-ranker but he didnʼt expect it to increase to this extent.

Neo ignored Jinʼs glare and continued explaining.

”Also I will send you the information about all the military ships and weaponry after you have already taken your position and are ready to guard the area… itʼs confidential information so be sure to not give it to anyone else…” (Neo)

”Okay now this matter is also solved, letʼs jump to the next one…” (Neo)

”Wait wait, why are you giving me confidential information like that!?” (Jin)

Before Neo could continue Jin intervened and asked with a bewildered look on his face. He was shocked at how carelessly such confidential information was being treated. It was like giving some random piece of paper.

Neo glanced at Jin and said in a calm tone:

”Well you have been to many battlefields and wars for humanity and you have proved your loyalty long ago with your amazing achievements, and now that you are part of the SS group, itʼs obvious that you would be allowed to have access to all the secret documents and projects…” (Neo)

Listening to Neoʼs answer, Jin couldnʼt argue back anymore, although it seemed that Neo was indeed talking the truth but, he always felt that something was weird with giving confidential information in such a casual way.

”Wait! Donʼt tell me you are thinking of giving me fake information to see if I leak them or not!? Is this your plan!?” (Jin)

Hearing Jinʼs question, Neoʼs shrewd eyes widened in surprise and his creepy smile widened further.

”Bahahaha, look! Didnʼt I say earlier!, this newbie has better insight than you had Raji!, hahahahaha, oh hahaha, it has been so long since I laughed this much…” (Neo)

Listening to Neoʼs mocking laugh, Rajiʼs mood turned sore even more. She was hoping that Jin would fall for this old trick of Neo, and would get laughed at by Neo later but it turned out she was the one who got laughed at in the end. (Raji and Ashtel both fell for this trick Neo when they first joined the SS-

rankers group.)

While Neo laughed to his heartʼs content, Jin had a complicated expression on his face, he only had one thought in his mind at that moment:

ʼI used to think that SS-rankers who were known as ʼdemi-

godsʼ by the outside world were elegant and composed people but this….ʼ (Jin)

Jinʼs previous noble image of SS-rankers in his mind has been now shattered by the weird behavior of Neo. This meeting now seemed more like a childrenʼs pranking competition, than a group meeting of supposed ʼdemi-godsʼ. (Neo and Ashtel once decided on who would go to save people during a certain disaster, by the game of rock-paper-scissor… Neo cheated and purposely lost, to avoid work… He likes to mess around too much…)

…

After a few minutes, Neo calmed down and said in a serious tone.

”Okay, enough playing around… now letʼs talk about who would go to the ʼMeeting of Godsʼ this year, as always we would send at least two SS-rankers and seven most talented children of the current younger generation… for the matter of the children we are still going with the standard method of testing…” (Neo)

”And for the SS-rankers, if any of you want to go and represent the human nation in front of the whole world, you can put your name forward… as always I am not gonna go, that leaves the three of you…” (Neo)

Hearing Neo talk about the ʼMeeting of Godsʼ the atmosphere in the meeting hall finally became serious.

Ashtel nodded his head and said:

”I would go, most likely my son would be among the seven children, I canʼt leave my sonʼs safety to someone else…” (Ashtel)

”Well if you are going, then we can be sure that nothing bad will happen this time, also be sure to not get in conflict with the Elf King like the last time you did…” (Neo)

Ashtel shrugged his shoulders at Neoʼs warning.

”If he is itching for a beating, I canʼt be certain that I wonʼt beat him…” (Ashtel)

Then Neo glanced at Raji and said:

”What about you? Would you finally try to leave the comfort of your home and face the world…” (Neo)

While saying that Neo looked at Raji with a mocking smile on his face.

”Tch!, I am not going…” (Raji)

Hearing Rajiʼs remark, Neo shook his head in disappointment and glanced at Jin with a smile on his face:

”That means, this time you would have to go and represent the dignity of humankind…. Jin Walt” (Neo)
