Reborn as an Extra - Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Was this really made by father?
Just as Rio was teleported away, the gate of the office opened suddenly with a bang and a person stormed in without a care in the world.

Normally if someone had done something like that, they would have been already killed on the spot, but the person who came inside is just that special to James; after all, he never even slapped his daughter to this day.

After Lia barged in, she looked all around and found that there was no one else in the room beside James.

Her eyes suddenly narrowed and she glared at James:

“Y-you… Did y-you kill him!? You didn’t leave his body!?”

Hearing this, James laughed bitterly and thought that this girl really has changed. She never cared about anyone, but now she has started to care about someone so much that she’s doubting even him.

“No, I just gave him what was meant to his.”

“D-don’t change the topic by talking complicated things! Tell me! where did you send him?”

‘sigh~, as expected of my daughter, she also have a short temper, sigh~’

“Hey! Why are you nodding your head as if you are proud or something! Could it be! You are proud of killing a weak student!?”

‘sigh~, it seems her brain is also a bit small, sigh~’

After about half an hour of pointless talk, Lia finally accepted that Rio was teleported somewhere he should go and will come back eventually if he passes. And if he can really make it alive, it all depends on him.

“At most, it should take three days for him to come back. The rest depends on him now, if he can make it back or not.”

“But one thing is sure: he will be able to improve his strength. Speaking of strength, you seem to have not been training regularly these days.”

“Y-yeah, i seem to have encountered a bottleneck, and I am stuck at the peak of D-rank.”

“Okay, i will help you today as I am free; let’s go to the training grounds…”

“Y-yeah…”

“Don’t worry about that kid; he will be fine, I think, Come on, let’s go.”

“Wha-wh! Who is worrying about h-him, i-i don’t really care!”

“Yeah, yeah”

‘Seriously, I am rather surprised that this idiot daughter of mine was even able to make a boyfriend; with her attitude, I wonder how that kid got interested in her, sigh~’

…

An Unknown Hidden Domain.

After the light teleported Rio, he suddenly found himself falling on the ground from the sky. He was so high in the sky that if he fell down directly, he would definitely die on the spot.

Not to mention snowflakes are falling from the sky; even the air is chilly enough to freeze the bones.

‘Well, I can withstand temperature changes simply by using a small amount of mana. But the problem is something else.’

Rio’s perception has greatly improved since he used that stone from Arte Tower, and right now he can sense a bad premonition; the current calm seems to be the calm before a storm.

Without letting his guard down for a bit,, Rio continued to observe his surroundings, he found that the ground below is also covered in snow but his senses are telling him that even the ground is not safe.

This has now put Rio in a dilemma. If he doesn’t do something, he will definitely fall on the snow below, which is giving him a bad premonition.

Just as Rio was thinking about what to do, as if gravity had become stronger his falling speed increased tremendously; it was as if he was purposely being forced to fall down even faster.

Looking down, his senses were telling him that he should not fall on that snow at any cost; his danger alarms went off simultaneously, and he gritted his teeth.

Rio suddenly had an idea in his mind; he brought out the same wooden stick he used before to kill the ogre and moved his mana.

[Elemental sword art: Wind Type: Serpent wind!]

Rio’s body, which was falling down, suddenly changed trajectory while moving in circles as if sliding on a coiled serpent, and at the end, just before reaching ground, he slid in a different direction.

As if he were sliding on a real serpent’s body whose tail was placed away from that dangerous snow on the ground and landed on the snow a bit farther.

Looking at the place he landed, he heaved a sigh of relief as that place seemed much safer.

He got up, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something.

He grabbed a small amount of snow, made a small snowball, and coated it with mana to enhance its durability a bit. (This is a very crude method to enhance something and anyone with mana can do it.)

After making the snowball a bit more durable, he tossed it on the ground where he was supposed to fall earlier to check what was so dangerous about that place.

As the snowball fell, the area of about 5 meters in radius all collapsed instantly, revealing the sharp and huge spears placed in that trap.

‘These spears are enhanced with mana and looking at that pale green colour and judging from the strange smell … They are coated with a thick layer of poison, from the tip to the ground.’

Without a doubt, this is a trap made to kill; if he even touches that poison, it will cause a huge problem.

Looking at this deadly trap, a thought came to Rio’s mind:

‘Am I really in a place created by my own father? Or James sent me somewhere else?’

…

Back at Silver Mansion

Standing in the training ground of the Silver family, Lia felt nostalgic.

She has been training in this place since her childhood, but it has now been several months since she trained here, as she was in the academy nowadays all the time.

Remembering those days, when her father never even came home and never even talked to her, she was at a loss for words.

She just can’t help but think that those were really some depressing days.

When even your own family refuses to talk to you and straight up ignores your existence, you can’t help but doubt yourself.

The same was the case with the young Lia.

She wanted to draw her father’s attention to her; she wanted to tell her father about how much she had progressed, but he never really paid attention.

“Hmm, why are you making a face as if you have been cheated on by your boyfriend, I am telling you, girl, that kid really looked suspicious to me; maybe he really cheated, sigh~”

“S-stop talking nonsense!”

“I am not talking nonsense though~”

Looking at Lia, who seems to be pouting, James laughed a bit.

‘She is just like her mother; she looked same when she got angry and she then forced me to eat burnt food every time she got angry, sigh~’

“Okay, show me your sword skills; attack me with your full might. If you succeed in landing even a single blow, I will buy you chocolate.”

“I am not a child! Eat that chocolate by yourself!”

“Ah! I forgot you are all grown up now… Forget it; you can attack now.”

[Silver Lion Swordsmanship: Broken Claw Mark!]

Lia twisted her wrist a bit, stomped the ground, and launched towards James with amazing momentum; she swung her sword in a horizontal manner.

“Slow…”

James easily dodged that attack by backstepping a bit, but Lia wasn’t surprised by that, she knew that her attack won’t land so easily.

[Silver Lion Swordsmanship: Obliteration Thrust!]

She immediately took the second stance and did a combo attack. She immediately coated her sword’s tip with mana and thrust her sword to do a powerful thrust attack.

“Yeah! That’s the way, keep going!”

James still easily dodged it by stepped to the side before her attack could even land! But he nodded his head in appreciation for the efforts.

…

Half an hour later.

“Haa…huff…haa”

“You got tired already? Come on attack with all your strength!”

‘Even though he is saying that, not even a single attack of mine has landed on him for the last half an hour. I will have to put all of my mana in one single strong attack.’

[Silver Lion swordsmanship: Giant’s claw!]

Putting all the mana in her sword, reaching James in the blink of an eye, Lia launched three sword attacks continuously; her sword glowed silver, and the slashes were sharp and proficient.

James was also surprised by the proficiency Lia was showing in this attack, but he easily dodged the attack.

Looking at Lia, he found that she has already fainted from exhaustion.

‘I can sense it she has broken through her bottleneck. Her strength will improve in the following days now…’

James summoned Lia’s personal maid and ordered her to bring Lia back to her room. The maid bowed her head respectively and proceed as she was ordered.
