Reborn as an Extra - Chapter 124

Chapter 124: The Misunderstood Riya
Academy, Second-year’s classroom.

The teacher wearing thick scientist-like glasses pointed his finger to the picture shown on the smart board.

“And it has been theorized that he is the place where a wyvern’s heart is located…. Contrary to popular belief, a wyvern’s heart is located in its head…

“It may sound like a ridiculous thing, but it has been proved with proper dissections and various experiments, the researchers of that time were shocked to know and this information played a critical role in helping the awakeners to properly target the weak points of a wyvern during dungeon raids…”

Hearing the teacher’s remarks, Liam nodded his head continuously, he knew about this since the day he summoned a wyvern for himself.

Since a summoner can easily know the condition of their contracted beasts, Liam easily found out, about the amazing anatomy of the wyverns. (He dared not peep at Ellie’s chest though, she’s as flat as a wall… She would get angry if dared do such atrocious things.)

‘There’s no need to worry, ‘Flat is justice!’…’ (Liam)

[Master Why do I feel like you are talking bad about me…]

“cough! cough!” (Liam)

Liam suddenly coughed heavily and the whole class gave him a weird look, even the teacher glanced at Liam with a confused expression on his face.

The teacher repositioned his glasses and asked Liam in a confused tone.

“Is there some problem student Liam?”

Liam hurriedly shook his head.

“No. Nothing, I just remembered something… cough..” (Liam)

The teacher nodded his head and continued the lecture without paying it any mind. (He is an anatomy specialist and an A-rank healer, his eyesight is good but he wears thick glasses and a white coat to show his identity as a devoted researcher.)

*Ding Dong*

The bell rang after a while and the teacher left the classroom after giving the students homework. Although most students didn’t like this subject, they had no choice but to do the homework on time, get good grades, and keep their ranks higher.

Just, when the students started to leave the classroom one by one, a sudden announcement was made.

[Liam Aldif, Riya Croft, Link Rex, Rio Flash and Lia Silver… All these students are requested to arrive at the principal’s office as early as possible!]

[… I Repeat…]

The announcement resounded throughout the classroom three times in a row before the speakers finally fell silent.

…

‘Hmm, what happened now?…’ (Rio)

Rio glanced at the other four and all of them were also confused by the sudden announcement.

All of a sudden, an idea flashed by their minds and they all looked a certain glutton with a questioning look.

“Wh-what? Why are you all looking at me like that?” (Riya)

An awkward silence spread in the empty classroom.

“Ahem! Uh Riya did you perhaps steal the principal’s snacks again, I mean… I am not angry but…. You should return them….” (Link)

Link cautiously asked Riya to confess her sins, he didn’t blame her for stealing snacks from her sister, but to get the whole five of them involved in this is a little over the top.

“What!? But I made sure that no one found out!… How could sister have found out!? But wait! Why would she blame you for me taking her snacks!?” (Riya)

Riya had a bewildered look on her cute face, she knew she was in the wrong for stealing the precious snacks of an SS-ranker, but there was no need to punish the five of them for that.

“Ahem! Let’s not get to the conclusion and go to the principal’s office first! We need to clarify this misunderstanding!” (Liam)

Liam shivered a little bit at the thought of ‘Raji Croft’, he remembered the time when, Raji stormed through their house, dragged his father out forcibly, and slapped him on the face with a cold and angry look on her face.

Liam was very young at that time and used to revere his father a lot, thus he was shocked when Raji dared to slap Neo in the face. (The image of Raji in his mind is: – ‘An arrogant and cold witch, who beats people here and there for no reason and has severe anger issues…’, this is also the reason why he stays at least ten meters away from Riya…)

While Liam gulped his saliva in nervousness, they all decided to leave the classroom and walk towards the principal’s office together. (There’s strength in unity they say. Moreover, there’s an old saying: ‘If your friends get punished together with you then the punishment hurts a little less compared to when you get punished alone’…)

…

Principal’s Office, The main building.

The principal’s office is a small room in the main building of the academy.

The group walked in with nervousness, the main door of the building opened automatically and they entered with slow steps.

The reception lady looked at Riya with a gentle smile on her face:

“You are back so early today, Ms. Riya…”

Riya nodded at the lady with a smile on her face and continued to lead the way for the four of them. (Riya usually drops by the place to steal snacks from Raji’s office, almost everyone who’s working in this building knows her, moreover, they all have helped Riya in her ‘quest to grab snacks’ at least once… due to which all of them have their salaries decreased at least once in the past…)

After a few seconds of walking the five of them stood outside the office room.

“Uh, Riya you go first…” (Link)

Link suddenly urged Riya to take the lead, he put his hands on her shoulders and pushed her into the fire pit while thinking in his mind.

‘Your sacrifice will be remembered, comrade!’ (Link)

Riya resisted and didn’t want to be the first one to enter the field and thus a stalemate occurred on the battlefield.

While the five were having difficulty deciding who to send first, a cold and calm voice resounded from the inside of the room.

“You may enter…” (Raji)

The voice alone stirred the mana in the surroundings and made the temperature cold.

Hearing the voice, Link opened the gate and pushed Riya in first and then slowly entered himself.

Then Liam, who had summoned Ellie earlier for his protection, pushed Ellie in first and then followed after.

Rio looked at their actions with his expressionless face and thought:

‘Hmm, is this lady’s first type of thing?’ (Rio)

Rio shook his head and decided to go with the flow and directly pushed Lia into the room before entering himself.

…

Inside the Principal’s office.

Riya walked in with slow steps, determination flashed in her eyes and she decided to take the gamble.

When she saw Raji sitting on the chair, she directly jumped to hug her, but her face collided with a flying book and she was stopped in her tracks.

Raji looked at her and said in a cold tone:

“Tch! Can’t you behave yourself, how long are you going to act like a kid, when will you grow up?” (Raji)

Riya glanced at her sister’s cold face and tears welled up in her round and big eyes:

“b-but, I-i… I only took half of those snacks, why are you so angry at me?” (Riya)

Raji looked at Riya with a confused look on her face.

“Snacks? What snacks?” (Raji)

Raji shook her head and didn’t pay attention to Riya anymore, she thought that Riya was just messing around like usual.

Raji glanced at the other four with a cold look on her face.

Liam hid behind Ellie’s back and Link avoided direct eye contact. And Rio stayed as expressionless as ever. The atmosphere became awkward all of a sudden.

Raji didn’t care about the atmosphere at all and she directly went to the main point without bothering with the pleasantries.

“Today I summoned you all here to tell you that, you five have been chosen as the candidates for attending the ‘Meeting of Gods’, you have enough capabilities and are a cut above all others of the same generation….” (Raji)

Raji glanced at the five and found that they had a confused look on their faces, she assumed that they didn’t know about what the ‘Meeting of Gods’ was.

“Let me introduce the basics to you guys first…” (Raji)

(Raji went ahead and talked about the various things and explained the ‘Meeting of Gods’ to all five of them. I am not writing it all again, re-read the previous chapters again if you have missed it.)

After a few minutes of simple explanation, Raji continued:

“Today, I have asked you all to come here to give the information on the dungeon you guys would have to conquer on your own to pass the second test… do you understand?” (Raji)

“Understood!” (All five of them said in unison)

Then Riya who was standing near Raji sighed in relaxation.

“Ah~ so it was just this~ I was worried over nothing…” (Riya)

While Riya sighed openly without any restraints, the other four only sighed in their minds and dared not make any unnecessary voices for fear of angering Raji.

Raji looked at Riya with a complicated look on her face.

‘When will this girl mature and become capable like these other competent kids, sigh~’ (Raji) (Her inner monologue sounds similar to the sad complaints of a disappointed mother…)

Raji shook her head in resignation and continued to explain.

‘Sigh~ children these days~’ (Raji)
