Reborn as an Extra - Chapter 235 Days of Leisure... Part-2.

Chapter 235 Days of Leisure… Part-2.

Rhymel, South East Area, Inside a Mall.

Women’s clothing section.

“The local dresses of the Elven Empire are really quite unique… I am having quite a lot of difficulty on which one to buy…” (Lia)

“Why not buy them both? All of the expenses will be funded by the SS-rankers anyway…” (Ellie)

Hearing Ellie’s words, Lia hesitated a bit but then eventually decided to agree with her words and bought both dresses.

The government will pay the SS-rankers an insane amount of money, for them this little expense isn’t even worth mentioning.

Just when the two were busy shopping, an unfamiliar voice rang out in their ears.

“Oh, I encountered some famous people it seems…” (???)

A girl with cat ears and a fluffy Blue tail walked inside and smiled at Lia and Ellie.

Her bluish hair waved in the air and her cat ears seemed to be waving in excitement.

“I am Miki Kotov, a candidate representing the cat folk…” (Miki)

Miki walked over to Lia and Ellie with an excited look on her face.

“I have always wanted to meet you ‘Mad demon Sword’ Lia, I have heard that you have defeated A rankers before even though you are only at the peak of rank B…” (Miki)

Miki stretched out her hand.

“I hear that humans shake hands as a sign of goodwill…” (Miki)

Lia was bewildered by her sudden appearance, but she didn’t reject the handshake.

[Ugh, one of my descendant bloodlines is still alive? Didn’t expect that coming…] (Kai)

‘What!? She is your descendant!?’ (Lia)

[Well, not physically… The cat tribe with the surname ‘Kotov’ was once blessed by me with my own blood…] (Kai)

[They were a weak and dying race, I took pity on them and ended up blessing them with my own blood, I can feel that this girl has awakened her bloodline…] (Kai)

[It might not be long before she breaks through rank A too, just like you…] (Kai)

‘So is she stronger than me?’ (Lia)

[Hmm, that… I don’t know, you two both seem to have similar levels of strength in my opinion, it all depends on wits and tactics when it comes to the winner…] (Kai)

‘I see…’ (Lia)

Lia was quite surprised by the fact that even Kai seemed to have indirect descent roaming this world even though he is just a spirit and can’t really have children of his own.

Miki who was unaware of Lia’s inner monologue simply smiled.

Beast folk are known for their straightforwardness and thus she didn’t hesitate at all and directly stated her business for coming here.

“Actually, the reason I came over was to measure my strength against the candidates of the human team…” (Miki)

“I don’t mean any harm though, I just wanted to see for myself and compare my level to others…” (Miki)

Lia squinted her eyes at her straightforwardness and asked:

“So, what’s your evaluation of me then?” (Lia)

“Well, you yourself seem equally strong as me… but my instincts tell me that there is something more to you than it meets the eye…” (Miki)

“Perhaps it’s just my imagination…” (Miki)

[Hoho, as expected of those blessed by my bloodline, her perception is very strong, beast folk are well known for their amazing instincts and perception…] (Kai)

[But this girl seems to have better perception even when compared to other of her kin…] (Kai)

[Kiddo, let me warn you, her perception and detection abilities might be near the level of that little guy Rio…] (Kai)

Lia knew how amazing Rio’s detection capabilities were, he once trained his detection in the ‘chaotic mana’ filled dungeon of Maya and not even Link could compare to him in that field.

The stronger an individual’s detection and perception is, the faster they can react to incoming attacks.

During the ‘Group survival test’, barely any of the concentrated attacks from Link, Lia, Liam, and Ellie combined landed on Rio, that was all due to his amazing reaction time.

If Miki can react at the same speed as Rio, then it will be extremely difficult for anyone in their team to defeat her, except for Rio of course.

Lia’s eyes became a bit more serious after figuring out the ins and outs of this situation.

‘As expected, any candidate who was able to come here is not weak, each of them is a top-level talent of their respective races….’ (Lia)

“By the way, who is that girl over there, I haven’t heard anything about her…” (Miki)

Miki looked confused when she noticed Ellie who was sneakily nibbling on the packed food that Liam had given her earlier before she left for shopping along with Lia.

“Oh, her? That Ellie, she is a summon of Liam, she isn’t a candidate so you might not have heard of her…” (Lia)

Ellie waved her hand at Miki to say ‘hi’ and then continued to nibble on the food, pretending to be a stupid summoned beast.

And her tactic worked actually, Miki mistook her to be a ‘mimic’ type summon.

“Ah, I have heard that the SS-ranker Neo Aldif has many ‘mimic’ type summons who can take human form, as his son Liam might have also summoned a mimic who can take human form…” (Miki)

Miki nodded her head again and again as if she had already figured out everything.

Although Liam is famous for the fact that he had contracted a dragon, not everyone in the world has seen Ellie’s human form, and as she is an S-ranker hiding her aura from lower- ranked people is easy for her.

Due to this Miki misunderstood Ellie as a weak mimic-type summon.

“By the way, I met that guy named Fade and that woman named Kira earlier, but they both seemed too ordinary to me…” (Miki)

“I nearly thought that the candidates of the human race were weaklings, after seeing them…” (Miki)

“But after meeting you, I have changed my mind… you are indeed worthy of your title…” (Miki)

Lia personally doesn’t like her own title but she didn’t reject Miki’s praise.

“Well, now that you have inquired about us, why not tell us something about yourself too then?” (Lia)

“Father said that I shouldn’t reveal too much about my strength, so I will just tell you the usual information…” (Miki)

“I am actually the strongest among my group, others are much weaker than me… well we certainly can’t compete with the amount of talent that the human race holds, but we have been through our fair share of battles…” (Miki)

Like every other participant, Miki knew about the existence of Link Rex from the start.

She knew that few could contend with that monster and she certainly isn’t one of them.

“Next I will go look for Liam from your group, as for Link Rex, I will pass…” (Miki)

“I have heard rumors that Link Rex is a hot-tempered guy and he gets violent very fast… also his title is ‘Berserk Warrior’ so I don’t want to get involved with him…” (Miki)

The image of red red-haired guy obsessed with Riya came to Lia’s mind when she thought about Link.

From her perspective, Link looked like a love-struck boy who always behaved like a gentleman towards Riya and always protected her from danger.

‘Yeah, I-I can’t imagine him being a mindless hot-headed berserker…’ (Lia)

Lia has seen Link tank Rio’s sword intent head-on, but she doesn’t think of him as a violent-natured person.

(What she doesn’t know is that the Link in the original story was a sadist who liked torturing innocent people for fun…)

“Aside from that, I wanted to pay a visit to the ‘Darkstar’ title holder, but he seems to have vanished from my perception range…” (Miki)

“he is the only candidate I can’t detect so I might have to pass on meeting him…” (Miki)

Lia was secretly relieved that Miki didn’t get to meet Rio, her possessive nature wanted to keep Rio all for herself after all.

“Haha, he has always been like that, even we are unable to find him unless he shows up on his own…” (Lia)

Miki nodded her head and chatted with Lia for a few more minutes.

The two of them had a friendly chat about each other’s likings and how life was in their hometowns.

Miki told Lia that the competition in the cat race is very fierce, the resources are scarce and the amount of healers they have is quite low.

So, every young talent competes fiercely over there to get their hands on more resources like ‘mana potions’ and ‘healing potions’.

Even Miki came here with the ambition to get a high enough rank in this tournament so that she could help her father in some way or another.

Each of the candidates has the responsibility to shoulder the face of their race in this tournament, no one is going to back off so easily.

After chatting happily with Lia and exchanging a lot of information, Miki left with the same happy smile on her face. Her tail seems to be dancing in excitement.

‘It seems not only us are the ones who came here with dreams and ambitions…’ (Lia)

[It’s cruel if you ask me… students worked so hard to come here, and if they lost too early, all of their hard work will go to waste…] (Kai)

[But I guess that’s the way of the world…] (Kai)

‘I think being able to experience combat methods of so many talented individuals… that’s already good enough… wining or not does not matter that much…’ (Lia)

[Haha, you can say that because you aren’t lacking resources… even if you lose in the very first round nothing will change for you…] (Kai)

[But for the weaker races, this tournament is an opportunity that comes only once in ten years…] (Kai)

[I feel bad for them already…] (Kai)

‘You are talking as if you know that everyone else is going to lose so easily…’ (Lia)

[Or else? Do you think they will win against that monstrous guy, Link? Can they break through his ‘Dao Rhythm’?] (Kai)

‘Well that…’ (Lia)

Lia didn’t say anything in return as she knew just how one- sided the situation was.

Even without ‘Dao Rhythm’ Link was already too strong for them and now that he has one of the most broken skills it’s near impossible for anyone else to get the top spot aside from Link.

‘I wonder what Rio thinks about this…’ (Lia)

Author’s Notes.

Yo! It’s your beloved author here! It seems nearly everyone knows just how broken Link’s strength is, even the enemies don’t want to go near him!

Do you think anyone has a chance against Link?
