Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 355: A smiling Rio!?

Dragon Palace, Rioʼs room.

Rio woke up and found himself lying on the large, king-size bed. He grabbed his smartphone from the nearby table and glanced at the date.

ʼIndeed, three days have passed; it seems what Fenix said about time being faster in that graveyard was true afterall...ʼ

Rio sighed and got up from the bed; his clothes were still disheveled and dirty.

Obviously he was still wearing the same clothes as three days ago; Fenix didnʼt help him change, and in fact it would have been creepier if his clothes were not the same.

ʼEr... I wonder how the evaluation test went for the others...ʼ

Just when Rio was still contemplating in his mind, another voice rang out in his mind.

ʼOi, hurry up, man, get ready! Lia will be here at any time! Sheʼs definitely going to be worried sick after you went missing for three days!ʼ

Rio rubbed his temples after hearing that voice and remembered that the original Rioʼs consciousness has woken up recently.

ʼUgh, at least Liaʼs familiar Kai is a bit of a decent person, but the guy attached to me is even more of an annoyance...ʼ

Rio shook his head and thought to himself.

ʼWell, I was just in the dilemma about how to deal with my fading emotions... This guy really appeared at the best possible time...ʼ

Rio has stolen many things before, and he wonʼt hesitate to steal something as long as it can be of great benefit to himself.

The original Rioʼs consciousness is more or less intact and has been recovered nearly to full health after the formation of the sword heart.

A sword heart is basically a manifestation of the ʼlawʼ of ʼswordʼ in the body; this ʼlawʼ has enhanced not only Rioʼs body but his soul too, which is likely why the other party woke up.

Originally, Rio was under the impression the original Rioʼs consciousness had been destroyed, but it seems he was wrong.

ʼI have already stolen a lot of things; it wonʼt matter if I steal another one...ʼ

Rio has already started to make a plan on how to steal the other partyʼs emotions from him. Although it sounds cruel, he has no other choice; sacrifices are needed to gain something.

Rio shook his head and took a shower first.

The original Rioʼs consciousness seemed to be very happy looking at how big his little brother has become nowadays.

Rio felt very awkward when the guy in his head kept praising the Excalibur, so he just suppressed the other partyʼs senses and only let him go after the shower was done.

[Tch! Man, you are worrying too much. This is our body anyway, what does it matter if I appreciate it a bit more... to tell you the truth, I donʼt think anyone can beat us if we compare our ʼExcaliburʼ to others!!]

[We are tall, Both vertically and horizontally!! F*ck yeah!!]

Rio nearly had the urge to punch himself in the face when hearing those words.

”From the memories of your past, you seemed more of a depressed and quiet type of person,

but the way you are behaving now is completely different...”

”Also, itʼs quite difficult to distinguish between us; how about I refer to you as my ʼShadowʼ?”

While getting dressed, Rio decided to name the guy ʼShadowʼ as it was too cumbersome to refer to him as original Rio again and again.

Shadow also didnʼt refute it and said,

[Well, it doesnʼt matter much; by the way, I also donʼt know why I am behaving more childish than usual... Maybe an influence of your sword heart again, I guess...]

[By the way, can you let me out for a second? I want to try using ʼSword Intentʼ, and itʼs such an amazing power... I want to use it at least once; donʼt worry, I will just use it to warm hands just like you...]

Hearing Shadowʼs words, Rio also felt a certain bit of curiosity.

He also wanted to see if the other party would really be able to use ʼSword Intent.ʼ If such a thing were possible, Rio would become extremely overpowered.

He will have ʼTwo Sword Intentsʼ on one person.

Imagine wielding two swords with two different sword intents in both hands, which would be an absolute nightmare for the enemy.

”Okay, just donʼt do anything weird, or I will immediately seize control again...”

Rio closed his eyes and slowly focused and retracted the power of his plain of consciousness, letting go of the control of his body.

Awakeners who have reached rank A or above levels can put their body into a comatose state by making their consciousness lose control of the body.

Itʼs a very mysterious and strange ability, but itʼs indeed possible.

Once Rio suppressed his influence, the other weaker consciousness immediately took control of the body, and Rioʼs eyes opened.

Unlike usual, Rioʼs eyes were now shining with life, and his face was no longer expressionless; he had an excited smile on it.

In fact, when he smiles, he looks more handsome.

Shadow tried to control the body, but he directly stumbled and tripped on his own legs,

directly falling down.

”Ugh, as expected, after so long I have even forgotten how to walk properly...”

Thankfully, the body trained by Rio for so long is extremely strong; there wasnʼt even a single

scratch.

It took about half an hour for Shadow to get used to the basic movements of the body, and soon he stood in front of the full-body mirror.

The shirt was still unbuttoned, so all those fine muscles were on full display.

”D*mn, I am actually quite muscular and even handsome...”

Unlike Rioʼs usual emotionless and cold voice, the current one was filled with life and was full

of admiration for himself.

Shadow sighed and said,

ʼMan, I am really thankful to you; if not for you, I could have never achieved all this, but I am still not sure how you know the exact location of so many precious treasures...ʼ

ʼAre you some god or something?ʼ

Shadow couldnʼt see Rioʼs memory as his own consciousness is far weaker than the other party; he could only see the memory of this body, and thus he only saw the various memories

of Rio easily stealing various precious things.

But he had no idea how the other party found all this.

Rio, who was now inside the mind, only said,

[Donʼt ask things that you shouldnʼt ask....]

”You know what? You are the most stubborn guy I have ever seen in my whole life... Not even

those rumored cold beauties in the novels have as much attitude as you...”

[Donʼt waste time on pointless things; try ʼsword intentʼ...]

”Ah, yes, I nearly forgot about that...”

Shadow shook his head and gave up trying to argue with Rio; he knew it was pointless; the

other party is devoid of emotion; itʼs pointless to try to anger him as the other party canʼt feel

it.

ʼOkay, here we go...ʼ

Shadow raised his hand and imitated Rioʼs method of using sword intent.

”Sword Intent!”

~~Cold breeze noises~~

Nothing happened at all, and a slight blush appeared on Rioʼs face due to embarrassment.

[You donʼt need to yell the name of the skill; you just need to think about it in mind and use it... yelling the name of a skill makes it seem so ʼcringeʼ...]

ʼEr, donʼt mention it... It makes me more embarrassed the more I think about it...ʼ

[If you canʼt even handle this bit of embarrassment, I seriously doubt you will be able to even control the slightest bit of sword intentʼs power... Your mentality is weaker than I expected...] ʼD*mn, you are very good at insulting people while still spitting facts... I really canʼt argue

with you...ʼ

[Forget it, you are useless; I will just think about something else...]

ʼThat definitely hurt my feelings...ʼ

Just when the two ʼRioʼsʼ were arguing back and forth with each other, the door of the room suddenly opened with a loud bang, and a golden-haired girl burst in with a look of concern on

her face.

”Rio! Are you okay?”

Lia came over to check on Rio just after she woke up from her illusion dream, and as she was in

a hurry, she directly broke the door to head inside.

The moment she came in, she found Rio standing near the full-body mirror with an unbuttoned shirt with his arms crossed.

Before Lia could even ask anything, Rio suddenly glanced towards her, and Lia was shocked to

the core.

Rioʼs eyes were full of life at the moment; a gentle smile appeared on his face, and the wet hair made him look even more handsome.

With that unbuttoned shirt and the muscles on full display, he looked more like a model at the

moment.

”Ah, you are here. Good morning, my love~”

The words were not emotionless this time; even his voice seemed so gentle and pleasing to

the ears that Lia nearly fainted on the spot.

That sudden change in Rio was a bit too shocking for Liaʼs heart, and a look of shock appeared

on her face.

”T-that.. w-what.. er....”

Lia couldnʼt find words to explain her thoughts at the moment, but just when she was getting more and more bewildered, Rioʼs expression suddenly returned to his usual form. The light in his eyes disappeared, and his face became devoid of emotions in a matter of

seconds. He buttoned his shirt swiftly, and everything returned to normal.

”Oh, donʼt worry about that; I just lost composure for a second...”
