Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 128 The Shouting Link...

Rio took a relaxing bath and later, sat on the couch while looking at the TV.

He had already thought of everything he was going to do tomorrow, and now it's time to relax and kill some time.

While lying on the couch in a comfortable position, Rio felt relaxed all over his body and he kept listening to the news on the TV.

…

(Listen to the News.)

"Hello everyone, I am John, a veteran anchor. Now I will tell you some short news in under 5 minutes…" (John)

The anchor touched a hologram which showed a screen full of various bar graphs and data charts on it.

"As you can see from this data, the expenditure of the military has increased further in the past few months and this has caused an increase in the number of people, who speak against the government's policies…" (John)

The anchor then switched to a video of a dam explosion.

"A wanted criminal was caught by the awakeners two days ago, unfortunately, the criminal destroyed the dam in his attempt to escape, and the awakeners had to neutralize him on the spot to save the lives of several civilians…" (John)

"An S-ranker had to come forward to keep the dam water at bay and stop it from flooding the civilian area…" (John)

The anchor continued to switch the hologram screen again and again while explaining various incidents in short.

"Today a large crowd gathered on the road to get a small glimpse of their idol Raji Croft, but due to the black tints of the car windows no one was able to achieve success…" (John)

"It is said that the guards pushed the fans harshly, resulting in minor injuries and great dissatisfaction over the internet…" (John)

"Several netizens complained saying 'The SS-rankers should at least give them a glance for all this effort' but there were no responses from the management teams working under Ms. Raji…" (John)

"It is said that Ms. Raji has gone to the Hotel 'Devalya' with several of her students today, many netizens speculated that it must be a training trip…" (John)

"Currently a large number of fans are surrounding the Hotel in hope of catching a glimpse of Ms. Raji's graceful presence…" (John)

(And the news went on and on…)

…

Rio looked at the anchor with confusion in his mind.

'Hmm, didn't he say he would only shortly explain the news, why did he start rambling about Raji so much...' (Rio)

Rio shook his head and decided to pay it no mind.

'As for that criminal, it must be Elio's doing… that guy was declared dead on the TV but they must have kept him in the same hidden prison…' (Rio)

Rio shrugged his shoulders and didn't think about it too much, he didn't care about the characters who were not important to the plot of the story, moreover, that's a very chaotic type of guy.

Elio has a maniacal and evil personality, he is supposed to be a random third-rate villain, his only importance to the plot is, for Fade to eliminate him someday and get famous for defeating a criminal, it's just that and nothing more.

Thus Rio didn't even care about it.

'Hmm, let's leave this matter for later, I shouldn't think about other events, when I still have to make good use of this 'Hidden Dungeon'…' (Rio)

*Knock*

Just when Rio was busy thinking about random things in his head, he heard a knock on his door.

'What does this guy need now? Does he have no better things to do, aside from pestering me for no reason? Tch!' (Rio)

Rio kept his mana detection skill active all the time, thus he already knew who was standing at his door. (Yeah, he keeps it activated even in sleep, in fact, he's so proficient at this point, that he can do it with muscle memory easily...)

Rio got up from the couch lazily and walked towards the door. He stretched his hand and opened the door slowly with the same expressionless face as usual.

"What do you need?" (Rio)

A dark red-haired boy appeared in Rio's vision.

"Well, can I come insi-" (Link)

"I don't let boys in my room… go away!" (Rio)

*Slam*

Rio immediately shut him up and slammed the door close.

Rio was frowning in his mind and wanted to watch the TV in peace, he didn't want to waste his time on the ramblings of some random 'happy-go-lucky' guy.

*Knock! Knock! Knock!*

Just when Rio was about to go back, Link started to knock on the door aggressively and he shouted at the top of his lungs outside.

"Let me in!!!!" (Link)

'F*ck you!' (Rio)

Rio was frustrated at Link howling outside of his room at the top of his lungs.

In the end, Rio had no choice but to let Link in, otherwise, if Link kept howling like that, Raji would beat the Sh*t out of them both.

Rio opened the door and Let Link in. Only then did Link stop howling like a mad beast. Link's shouts startled all the guests and staff members in the hotel and Rio felt weird just thinking about their reaction.

'How did I end up getting caught up in this bullsh*t…' (Rio)

Rio could do nothing but shake his head in frustration at Link's weird behaviors.

Link is the only guy who can make Rio this much annoyed and frustrated with just his few actions.

…

Lia's room.

Riya and Lia were playing cards at the moment.

Just then Link's howling voice was heard by them.

*LEEEEETTTTT MEEEEEE INNNNNNN AAAAARRRHRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!*

Riya was startled by Link's shout so much that she jumped on the bed like a frightened rabbit.

"W-what!? What just happened!?" (Riya)

Due to the sudden shock Riya's candies fell from her hand and got scattered all over the bed, Lia frowned at the fact that her bed was now ruined by this girl jumping around on it.

Lia shrugged her shoulder in annoyance and said:

"He must have gone mad, Ms. Raji will beat him for shouting like that…." (Lia)

Hearing Lia's remarks, a concerned look appeared on Riya's cute face.

"T-that…" (Riya)

Lia shook her head and said:

"Don't worry, I don't think it would be anything serious, I think the punishment would be over with one slap or a kick I think… but who knows~" (Lia)

Riya pictured her sister Kicking Link in her mind and it felt kind of weird, so she stopped thinking and went back to collecting her candies.

"My lovely candies…." (Riya)

Riya shed small tears for the loss of those rare candies. (She forgot about Link's dilemma at the very mention of those candies… Link my guy, it seems you are not gonna win against those candies ever…)

…

(A few minutes ago.)

Meeting room.

Raji sat on the head seat and sipped the wine from the glass that she held in her right hand. Her left hand rested on the chair's arm. She looked like a female CEO, passing the time in her office.

The owner of the hotel stood nearby and poured wine for her with his own hands, several other staff members and shareholders stood nearby with their heads bowing towards Raji.

They dared not look at her directly and since they didn't get permission from her to sit, they didn't dare to sit on their respective chairs either.

Raji's aura intimidated all of them.

The owner had a smile plastered on his face, he poured wine for Raji and said:

"Uh, Ms. Raji, it's our pleasure that a noble person like you came down to personally solve this crisis for us….." (Owner)

The owner laughed sheepishly and his fat belly bounced whenever he giggled.

Although he was also nervous and fearful like the others, as the owner of this place he had to be courageous enough, he had no choice but to greet and please Raji as much as possible.

He knew that Raji could shatter his whole hotel with a single sneeze of hers and no one would even take his side if she declared him guilty.

(The power in the hands of SS-rankers is no joke, the SS-

rankers are revered as 'demigods' by humans of this world. It won't be surprising for the current government to be changed if the SS-rankers demanded it tomorrow.)

(Fortunately, most SS-rankers are great people with considerate personalities, otherwise, if they abused their powers, human society would not have been able to function properly for so long…)

Raji glanced at the owner and said in her usual cold tone:

"No need to exaggerate it, I am just trying to train the future pillars of humanity, while also taking care of this dungeon… it's just killing two birds with one stone…" (Raji)

Raji didn't care about the hidden dungeon at all. The dungeon opened in the basement of the car parking building of this hotel.

The hid the information about the opening of this new dungeon from the public eye and wanted to get the various riches for themselves. (The mana stone or artifacts etc. which are found in the dungeon…)

The owner had some contacts with the alliance and wanted to hire people to clear the dungeon for him. And since the academy was also looking for a place to train the students Raji immediately accepted this task for the students.

(Originally Raji would have been busy chasing Fade with Ashtel because he would have fatally wounded Link around this time. Now the timeline has changed a lot.)

"You can keep all the mana stones as the contract was established, aside from whatever the students find for themselves and want to keep, you can get the rest…" (Raji) Follow current s on Noᴠᴇꜰɪre.nᴇt

Although the Owner was worried that the students would end up taking everything away, he didn't dare complain.

Even though he was not an awakener, he had dealt with many awakeners before, he knew that if he dared to complain, Raji would sense it immediately.

(This guy made a good choice, Raji could have heard him cursing at her from 100's of kilometers away…)

(This is also the reason why people in the capital city dare not say anything bad about the SS-rankers, there's a popular saying don't talk bad about the demigods, because they will hear it… privacy? What's that? Never heard of it at all!!)

...

Just when the two were talking, Link's howls resounded throughout the hotel.

*LEEEEETTTTT MEEEEEE INNNNNNN AAAAARRRHRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!*

The whole meeting room went silent all of a sudden after that shout.

An awkward atmosphere spread, but no one dared say anything at all.

Raji's cold face turned even colder and she gritted her teeth.

*shatter*

The wine glass in her hand shatters into pieces.

Everyone gulped their saliva in fear and didn't dare to even move an inch, for fear of getting beaten.

"Tch!...." (Raji)

Raji shook her head in annoyance, she picked up another glass of wine and continued to sip like nothing had happened.

The owner signaled the servants to clean the floor and continued to pour the wine with a solemn expression on his face.

'Ah I nearly had a heart attack, I think I lost 10 kg weight just by standing here today….' (Owner)
