Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 154 How to bully Fade and Link together? (Bonus Chapter)

"Come over with me, I want to ask you something…" (Rio)

"O-okay!" (Fade)

Fade replied to Rio's request in a startled tone. Fade was shocked at the fact that Rio appeared behind him seemingly out of nowhere.

Rio didn't care about Fade's shocked look, hearing Fade's approval, Rio nodded his head and his figure disappeared into the darkness. He seems to have teleported all of a sudden.

Next, he appeared beside Link.

'F*ck! Is that a high-rank movement art!?' (Fade)

Everyone knew that Rio was fast and his swordsmanship was extremely destructive.

Moreover, his sword intent was so refined it could help him fight individuals that are one rank above his own.

Rio was a literal walking and breathing bullet train, his vocabulary didn't seem to have the word 'slow' in it. (Rio is faster than a bullet train after reaching rank A…)

He easily sneaked behind Fade without his presence being noticed. When he talked to Fade, only then did Fade notice him standing there.

...

With great hesitation, Fade went towards where Rio and Link were. His legs felt like they were refusing to walk forward.

[Ding! It is warned to not use 'system' related skills like 'appraisal' on the individual named 'Rio Flash'!]

'I know, I know, you don't have to tell me…' (Fade)

'The main problem is, I didn't notice until now that this guy was also with us from the start…' (Fade)

Indeed, from the time when Fade and Kira entered Raji's car to now, Fade had never noticed Rio's presence. Rio's presence is so small and unnoticeable that people end up not looking at him at all.

This happens due to Rio suppressing his aura to nearly non-existent levels all the time. Which causes him to blend into the environment extremely easily.

(If Link and others didn't know that Rio was also with them beforehand, they would have not noticed Rio's presence until now either… Ever since Rio got the shadow robe, his presence has become even more difficult to detect…)

The system message also only works when Fade himself notices someone, that's why it only appears now because he noticed Rio's presence only just now. Until now he thought that Rio wasn't here in this dungeon at all.

…

Behind the Giant Boulder that Link cracked earlier.

"Uh, so what did you want to talk about?..." (Fade)

Link was extremely confused when he saw that Fade was being so docile right now.

He still remembered how rudely Fade was speaking when they were in the car yesterday, but right now, he was behaving like a scared cat, as if his life was being threatened.

A frown appeared on Link's face.

'Is it because he got beaten by that golem…' (Link)

Link shook his head and stopped thinking about it too much, He asked in a cold tone.

"What we both want to ask of you is.... how strong was that golem?" (Link)

"What!?" (Fade)

Hearing Link's question Fade was stunned, he glanced at Rio for confirmation and Rio who was standing still like a stone pillar also nodded his head and said.

"You have faced it beforehand right… tell me, how many attacks of my 'sword intent' can it withstand?..." (Rio)

Link smiled at Rio's question and said with a smirk on his face.

"Also tell me, is that golem defense better than mine or not…" (Link)

Link crackled his fingers and tilted his head in arrogance.

"I would also like to know where to find more of those golems… tell me fast!" (Link)

He seemed to be eager to fight a similar golem right now.

While Link and Rio were questioning Fade about the golem, Fade was so bewildered that he was speechless.

Link mistook his silence for hesitation and He put his hand on Fade's shoulder with a cold look on his face.

"You know, Rio and I had an argument just now, we want to know who can fight that golem the longest…. So will you hurry up and say that I am the stronger one!" (Link)

Link pressed on Fade's shoulder with great force, and a painful look appeared on his face, Fade was about to bring his staff out but he felt a cold blade touch his neck the very next moment.

Rio's sword rested on his neck. Rio had sneaked behind Fade without his notice.

A devilish whisper entered Fade's ear.

"Say that 'Link is useless against that golem'…" (Rio)

"W-what…" (Fade)

'W-what the f*ck is going on here!!?' (Fade)

Without Fade's consent, he was dragged into Rio and Link's argument over who was stronger.

Fade had no idea that Rio and Link were having arguments just a while ago, about who was stronger and they decided to ask Fade about how strong the golem was, and this inevitably dragged Fade into this mess too.

Link heard Rio whisper 'Link is useless' and he got angry:

"F*ck! You are thinking of insulting me now huh!" (Link)

*Creak*

Link put too much force on Fade's shoulder and accidentally broke his left shoulder's bones. His shoulder creaked with a loud voice and pain rushed into Fade's head.

"AAAAAHHHHHH!!" (Fade)

Fade shouted like a wailing beast at the top of his lungs. The pain caused him to shout horribly and his wails attracted the attention of everyone else.

Hearing Fade's shout everyone was stunned and they rushed over to see.

Link hurriedly looked at Rio but found that Rio had already disappeared into the darkness.

Link was stunned, and he immediately punched Fade in the stomach and ran away.

"urgh!" (Fade)

After using the punch to stop his shouts, Link jumped away.

"Tch! Idiot!" (Link)

…

After a while.

Link sat on the ground and Riya glared at him angrily.

"Why did you beat him, Link!? I had to heal him again!" (Riya)

"Uh… I-I was just…" (Link)

Although Link tried to run away, obviously he wasn't as fast and sneaky as Rio, he was immediately seen by the others and everyone misunderstood that Link beat Fade for no reason.

"Don't do it again, okay? Otherwise, I will tell sister about this!" (Riya)

"Uh… o-okay I won't do it again…" (Link)

Link nodded his head and got up from the ground. He glared at Rio who was standing nearby with an expressionless face as if he had nothing to do with it.

'Tch! Sneaky bast*rd!' (Link)

In the end, Fade suffered the most out of this interrogation session.

Fade was now again resting in his sleeping bag. (He fell unconscious after Link punched him in the stomach once…)

Today seems to be a really bad day for him, first he got beaten by that golem and now by Link.

...

Rio ignored Link's glare and looked at his own status panel.

'As I thought my stats have reached the 100 limit after the A-

rank ascension… that quite nice…' (Rio)

'Moreover, now I can use this 'Darkwing movement art'…' (Rio)

[Darkwing Movement art]

[Rank: S++]

[Description: An extremely rare movement art that is extremely difficult to learn but is very effective. Only an A-ranker or above-ranked individual can use this movement art.]

[Effect: Increases stealth and movement speed of the user tremendously!]

'This thing is a gem..' (Rio)

Rio got this movement art from Link when he saved Riya during the New Year festival last year. But he needed to become an A-

ranker to learn this art.

This is the reason he hasn't been able to use this art until now.

(Rio had been practicing this art since the last year, but he wasn't able to use it. Due to him practicing it beforehand, the art already reached rank 'C-' the moment Rio awakened it…)

This movement art is the reason why Rio could escape easily earlier.

'Hehe, Link you brought your own demise by giving this thing to me yourself…' (Rio)

While Rio was busy in his mind and was contemplating about his greatness, Link was glaring at him for the betrayal.

…

In the sky.

"These two… they are really a chaotic duo… sigh~" (Raji)

Raji saw everything from the start to the end. She obviously noticed Rio and Link beating Fade but she didn't stop them at all.

'Well sometimes friendly competition is also good I suppose…' (Raji)
