Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 166 Fadeʼs plot armor and Liamʼs memories...

(Info dumps ahead...)

(Memories of the past...)

Aldif Mansion.

Ellie shook hands with Liam and accepted his friendship that day.

But not all were happy at this sudden turn of events.

Neo had declared earlier, that whoever of his children will have the highest talent, will be considered the legitimate heir of the Aldif family.

Now that Liam had summoned a dragon at such a young age, anyone could guess who would be the next head of the family. And thus, all of Liamʼs siblings started to hate him to the core.

They were all jealous of his insane talent.

They used to love Liam a lot before he showed his talent, but when he proved himself to be a threat to them, all his siblings stopped talking to him.

Especially the oldest son, who was expecting to become the next family head, was now feeling immense hatred for Liam. He hated Liam to the point that he wanted to kill him off immediately.

If not for the fact that Liam was protected by Ellie on several occasions, Liam would have long been dead by now.

Furthermore, Neo Aldif is a cunning man, he likes those whom he can control easily. He doesnʼt like those who can threaten his existence.

(This is also one of the reasons why his main body is always around the borders of the human empire, he doesnʼt like staying with other SS-rankers, and instead, he sends his summoned beasts to do his bidding...)

Thus, when Liam proved that he had the talent to one day rival him, Neo was also quite frustrated at this.

Just by summoning Ellie, Liam had turned all of his loved ones into his worst enemies.

This is the exact reason why people donʼt like shadow dragons.

Shadow dragons are considered bad omens. Whenever they appear they bring misfortune and disasters along with them.

Liam summoned a shadow dragon and brought great misfortune over himself that day.

He lost all his loved ones in a matter of seconds after the shadow dragon was summoned.?Although indirect, but this can still be considered as a bad omen.

This is also the reason why Ellie was surprised at Liam being happy at her summoning, most individuals will see a shadow dragon as a bad omen and would try to avoid it, but Liam was so happy to see Ellie, that she was impressed by him.

Ellie decided to accept Liamʼs friendship because she could sense that Liam was genuinely happy and wasnʼt faking his feelings.

She became curious to see what this human wanted from her and why he wasnʼt afraid of her.

Thus, she decided to stay with Liam for a while, but eventually, she got addicted to Liamʼs homemade food and was unable to leave.

...

Over the course of the next few days, Liam became a total outcast from the Aldif family. No one talked to him, no one loved him and he wasnʼt even allowed to sit at the dining table with everyone else anymore.

His life had fallen from the peak to the ground in just a few days.

But even after all this happened to him, Liam didnʼt care about it at all.

He had found a friend after all.

In those days of difficulties, Liam and Ellieʼs bond became stronger than ever. Ellie taught Liam about combat and various fighting techniques.

Liam didnʼt learn the humanʼs version of magic at all, he learned magic from Ellie, and all of his magic was blessed by the strength of a dragon, thus it was a hundred times stronger than ordinary magic.

Days went by and Liam finally ʼawakenedʼ at the age of fifteen. He got invited to the academy and entered it without any difficulty.

...

His whole first year in the academy was quite ordinary actually. (He was in a different class than Rio and the others thus he didnʼt get involved in events like Roult Island etc...)

Since Liam was in a different classroom than the protagonist, he didnʼt have any conflicts with Fade for a long time to come.

Even in the original Novel timeline, Liam only appeared in the second year of the academy. (The final exam event wasnʼt mentioned in the original novel if you remember it, it was directly skipped...)

The only reason why Liam had a conflict with Fade in the original timeline, was because of Kira.

Liam liked Kira since his childhood days.

Kiraʼs father and Neo, both were good friends. Due to this, Kira used to visit the Aldif household several times when Liam was a kid. Liam and Kira became good friends at that time, they used to play together all day long.

Liam had feelings for Kira since he was young. And seeing Kira cling to a person like Fade, was absolutely unbelievable for him.

He didnʼt like Fadeʼs personality at all, if it was someone with a good personality, Liam would have accepted his defeat and wouldnʼt have interfered with Kiraʼs life at all, he would have ʼmoved onʼ without caring about it.

But since he had feelings for Kira, he couldnʼt ignore her being taken by a sketchy guy like Fade who had a trashy personality. Moreover, Fade was quite weak in his eyes.

In his eyes, Fade was a total trash, even Fadeʼs magic circuits were unstable. (Liam could see through Fadeʼs unstable magic circuits easily... Donʼt forget that Liam is a magical genius and has a dragon to enhance his magical capabilities...)

Although Liamʼs class is a ʼsummonerʼ, he can also use magic due to Ellieʼs help.

He admired Kiraʼs amazing mental capabilities, but he couldnʼt comprehend the reason why Kira liked Fade so much. (Simply speaking, he didnʼt want to see Kira get hurt...)

Yet, Fate had different plans for him. In the original timeline, He was betrayed by Kira again and again until he died under Fadeʼs hands eventually.

The Liam of the original timeline was indeed an unfortunate guy who was treated as a ʼdisposable villainʼ by Fadeʼs protagonist Halo.

But the presence of one ʼAnomalyʼ had changed the threads of Fate now.

Now Liam has ʼMoved onʼ from his past feelings and he doesnʼt care about Kira and Fade anymore.

He has accepted Ellie as his only true companion and he has seen through many things that were invisible to him before.

You could say that he has walked on the path of redemption now, just like Link and many others.

...

(Back to present…)

Hotel Devalya, Liamʼs Room, Night.

”What are you thinking, Liam?” (Ellie)

Hearing Ellieʼs voice, Liam snapped out of his dream world. He glanced back and found Ellie sitting on the couch, staring at him with wide eyes.

Her black serpentine-like pupils shined brightly even in the dark night.

”Nothing, just remembering about some happy memories from past… like the day I met you the first time…” (Liam)

Hearing Liamʼs remarks, Ellie giggled a bit before saying:

”Hehe, you like me that much, huh…” (Ellie)

A smile appeared on Liamʼs face when he heard Ellieʼs happy tone:

”Indeed I like you a lot, my little dragon…” (Liam)

A sudden silence descended in the room at Liamʼs sudden confession.

Ellieʼs cheeks became slightly blushed as she heard those words.

She replied in a low voice:

”Then you better remember these words forever, I wonʼt forgive you if you forget about them…” (Ellie)

At Ellieʼs words, Liam tilted his head a bit and smiled at her:

”Indeed, I will remember them, forever…” (Liam)

Rajiʼs Room.

”Indeed, I will remember them, forever…” (Liam)

…

*Crack*

The wine glass in Rajiʼs hand cracked and the atmosphere in the room became heavy due to Rajiʼs anger.

”Do you know what you are saying, Neo?” (Raji)

”I know, but it doesnʼt matter, I want to give my son as many hardships as possible, so do me this favor…” (Neo)

In anger, Raji threw her wine glass on the floor and replied to the hologram in a cold tone:

”Why do you think will I do you a favor!... Stop talking to me like I am your old friend or something!” (Raji)

”I already said that Fade was a useless student, he has already failed both tests! He didnʼt even make it to the final round in the group survival test and now he didnʼt even contribute a little bit in this dungeon either!” (Raji)

”I have already declared him unfit to be a candidate for the ʼmeeting of godsʼ! Do you really think I will allow such a trash to represent the face of the human race, in front of the whole world!?” (Raji)

Hearing Rajiʼs harsh remarks, Neoʼs hologram went silent for a while.

”Nonetheless, Fade is still a candidate, you canʼt stop him from taking the third exam even though he had failed the previous two, if he passes the third test he will be eligible to go to the ʼMeeting of godsʼ…” (Neo)

Neoʼs voice caused Rajiʼs anger to increase even more. Several veins appeared on her forehead and her mood became even worse.

”Eligible my foot! That trash doesnʼt even have strong willpower! He was crying and lost control when he was in a difficult situation!” (Raji)

”You want that kind of trash to go to the stage where genius people from all over the world will come!?” (Raji)

Neo ignored all of Rajiʼs words and said in a calm tone:

”It doesnʼt matter, the rules are that you canʼt stop a candidate from taking any of the tests and if the candidate passes even one of the tests, they would be eligible to go-” (Neo)

*Bang*

Before Neo could finish his words, Raji smashed the hologram-generating device into pieces with her frost magic.

She glanced at the hotel owner standing nearby with several servants and said in a cold tone:

”Pour me another glass of wine!” (Raji)

The hotel owner shivered at Rajiʼs cold gaze and did as he was ordered.

”Understood!” (Owner)
