Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 241 The Tournament of Supreme Talents, Starts! Part-3.

Capital City Astra, Rex Mansion.

Guest Room.

”Hoho, Master Ashtel looked quite amazing there…” (Olin)

Sitting on the couch, Olin glanced at the TV and smiled when Ashtel appeared on the screen.

Hearing Olinʼs words, Stella came inside the room with an excited look on her face.

”Oh, where?” (Stella)

Olin shook his head and said:

”You missed it, you took too long to come… it seems you are getting old-” (Olin)

”Who are you calling old!?” (Stella)

”Cough! Cough! I-I mean… oh! There he is! Look he is there in the VVIP section!” (Olin)

Hearing Olinʼs words, Stella forgot about being angry and hurriedly looked at the TV.

”Ah, itʼs true, he is there… so he went to the Elven Empire with Link…” (Stella)

The general populace only knows that seven young talents from the academy have gone to the tournament with the SS-rankers, they donʼt know about the secret meeting.

”Hmm, but why do feel that he looks kind of worried?” (Stella)

Stellaʼs old eyes stared at the screen and the look on her face became a bit doubtful.

”Isnʼt it just your imagination? He is an SS-ranker now you know… what can make him worried…” (Olin)

Stella glared at Olin and said in an annoyed tone:

”You old bone! I have raised him since the time he was a snotty brat! You think I donʼt know anything about him!?” (Stella)

”W-well, perhaps he is worried about young master Link I guess… after any parent will be worried about their children…. This is a very big day for young master Link after all…” (Olin)

Stella was still not fully convinced by this but as she didnʼt know the inside information, she just shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

She walked over to Olinʼs side and poured tea for both of them.

Today they are going to watch the show.

*And now! We are going to introduce all the teams that will be taking part in this competition!* (Commentator)

The massive gate of the waiting area opened slowly and amidst the cheers of the excited audience first group appeared.

*First up is the team from the human empire! The group that came here after completing the most difficult missions!* (Commentator)

*The team of candidates that has survived the attack of an S-rank demon!* (Commentator)

*Rumors have it that the strongest candidate among all of todayʼs candidates is also in this team!* (Commentator)

*Everyone! welcome Team Astra!* (Commentator)

With Link leading at the front and holding a large banner with ʼAstraʼ written on it, all seven members of the team entered the stadium in an ʼarrow formationʼ.

(Liam has un-summoned Ellie so she isnʼt in this formation right now…)

The banner with a dark red background color and the word ʼAstraʼ written in ʼgoldenʼ swayed in the air and a smile appeared on Linkʼs face as all cameras and eyes were focused on him directly.

While waving his hand at the audience he led the team to walk forward and stand on their designated spot.

(All teams will appear one by one and will stand at their designated spot while holding the banner…. Each banner will have the name of the capital city of the respective race written on it...)

Seeing Link appear on the TV screen, Olin and Stellaʼs eyes widened and a satisfied expression appeared on their old faces.

”Sigh~ young master has grown so much… he used to play around in the mud and hide in the garden when he was young… and now…. Now he is representing the face of the whole human race in front of the whole world…” (Olin)

”Yeah… Right now, the banner he is holding represents the dignity and pride of the entire human race… He has grown up a lot…” (Stella)

The dying flames in the eyes of these two old folks seemed to have rejuvenated today after seeing Linkʼs growth.

”If Mistress was still alive, she would have been so proud of her talented child… he really makes me feel so proud of him… Sigh… children grow up so fast…” (Stella)

…

Rex Mansion

Bodyguardʼs changing room.

”Whoa! Finally young master has appeared on the screen!!” (Boris)

The usual calm and collected personal butler is cheering loudly with the other bodyguards while looking at Link wave at the camera.

The bodyguards glanced at him in concern and tried to take away the bottle from his hand.

”Hey hey, itʼs not good to be drinking so much wine, you are in the Rex Mansion right now you know…”

”No~ I am going to enjoy the day today! I will cheer young master Link with all my might!!” (Boris)

Due to drinking too much, Borisʼs whole face was getting red, yet he still cheered for Link.

The bodyguards shook their heads and ended up going with the flow in the end.

Everyone raised a glass of wine and toasted while saying:

”May victory be on the young masterʼs side, Cheers!”

…

Silver Mansion.

An underground secret room.

While sitting on a couch, James smiled when he saw Lia appear on the screen along with the other team members.

He glanced at the nearby statue and smiled.

ʼYour daughter has become independent now… you can rest assured she has found her own place in the world…ʼ (James)

This underground secret room is actually a place that James has been keeping secret from everyone, even Lia doesnʼt know about this room.

Before becoming an awakener, James was talented in creating stone statues.

He left that talent behind when he became an Awakener, but after his wifeʼs death, he picked this talent up again.

He hand-crafted several statues in remembrance of his wife so that he doesnʼt end up forgetting her face one day.

After smiling at the statue of his wife, he glanced at the smartphone screen again and continued to watch his daughter make him proud.

…

Academy, Principalʼs Office.

While sitting on the principalʼs chair, Raji stared at her smartphone and sipped the dark red wine from the fancy glass she held in her other hand.

When Riya finally appeared on screen, a smirk appeared on Rajiʼs face.

ʼShe used to be a crybaby when she was young… but look at her now, she looks so excited and happy while standing beside that little guy Link…ʼ (Raji)

ʼTime really does change fast…ʼ (Raji)

Raji could have never imagined before that the same na?ve and immature younger sister of hers would be able to stand in front of the whole world without even getting nervous.

ʼIt seems my decision of getting her acquainted with Link was indeed right…ʼ (Raji)

If Riya had never met Link, she certainly could have never had the courage to go up the stage and stand under the prying eyes of the whole world like this.

But with Link standing beside her, Riya was not worried about anything.

Her nervousness and anxiety disappear when Link stands beside her, even today, she isnʼt worried about being nervous, after all, Link is standing there to support her.

ʼShe isnʼt even nibbling on her beloved candies today… has she finally matured?...ʼ (Raji)

A rare smile appeared on Rajiʼs usual cold face.

ʼShe has grown up…ʼ (Raji)

…

Underground Tavern, Novo.

Today the tavern is oddly empty, no guests are drinking and talking like usual.

The tavern is covered in utter silence, but still, Irvin wasnʼt depressed about it.

Instead, a smirk appeared on his old and tired face.

ʼIt was a good decision to buy the smartphone, otherwise I wouldnʼt have been able to watch this…ʼ (Irvin)

Irvin stared at the screen and smiled when he saw Rio appear with his team.

”Hoho… so he made friends with the son of that SS-ranker?... his father made friends with the SS-ranker and now he is doing the same…” (Irvin)

”Is this the reason why they say: ʼLike father Like sonʼ?” (Irvin)

Irvinʼs old eyes shined brightly as he looked at Rio walk side by side with Link.

”But still… he really is something else to be able to reach that stage… not many can get this amazing opportunity…” (Irvin)

Irvin then glanced at a nearby shelf, a rusty knife rested on the shelf as if it was being put on display purposely.

ʼIt seems, your son might surpass you soon… boss…ʼ (Irvin)

That rusty knife seemed just an ordinary knife, but it had many memories attached to it, and only Irvin knew the importance of that knife.

For others, it might be worthless garbage, but for Irvin, itʼs a priceless treasure.

That knife was once given to him by Kevin himself, it was a symbol of their organization and represented them as unique.

The knife itself had no special abilities, it was just an ordinary knife, but it showed that they were genuine assassins, it was a ʼmark of an assassinʼ for their organization.

ʼTime flew by so fast… who would have thought that I would get to see his legacy still alive after such a long time…ʼ (Irvin)

…

Dragon Valley.

Dragon Kingʼs Throne Room.

A young girl glanced at her father who had a rare amused expression on his face.

He was smiling while looking at the smartphone that was floating in mid-air right in front of him.

The girl walked over to his side without any hesitation and asked curiously.

”What are you watching Father?” (???)

Hearing the girlʼs voice, the being who can make any person in this world fearful, smiled and replied in a calm yet majestic voice.

”Seeing if thereʼs any young talent worthy of my notice…” (???)

The young girl looked at the screen curiously and asked:

”So, have you found anyone worth your notice Father?” (???)

”Hmm… yes… it seems I have found something very amusing…” (???)

…
