Reborn as an Extra

An A-rank archer has exceptional detection capabilities. To perfectly hit the target from kilometers away, an A-rank archer trains his all senses to the extreme.

Due to this, their eyesight, hearing capabilities, etc. are extremely refined and strengthened.

But sometimes, this exceptional hearing capability also works like a curse for them.

They sometimes end up hearing things, that they were not meant to hear and the same was true for Zach.

As Zach had spent years together with Riko, he could identify her voice easily from kilometers away.

Due to this ability, he heard everything that Riko said about him at that moment.

'He's but a friend, I have no feelings for him…'

These were the words that made Zach question his motives.

'Sigh~ how could I have shown tears in front of my juniors, I am such an failure of a Senpai….' (Zach)

Zach may be older than Rio and others, but he definitely wasn't as emotionally mature as them. This was the first time he had suffered a heartbreak.

Yet, Regardless of that, he smiled.

…

Near the beach, a public facility, Changing Rooms

"See this, guys, this is the place where you can change into your swimsuits without any worry! I have been to this beach many times in my childhood! So I know this area like the back of my hand!" (Zach)

The building Zach pointed to had two sections, one for men and the other for women.

This facility was made by the locals to improve the experience of the tourists.

Zach glanced at the other three and nodded his head:

"You see when I was a bit younger, I used to come here with my older brother literally every day to stare at the gir- ahem! To stare at the sea!" (Zach)

'He nearly said he used to come here to stare at the girls…' (Link)

'Despite his small body, it seems he is also a fellow man of culture…heh…' (Rio)

'Oh~ so Senpai is also a member of the 'perv' committee…' (Liam)

All three of them patted Zach on his shoulder and nodded their heads as if they understood what Zach meant.

"Nice!" (All three of them said in a united tone.)

Zach hurriedly dodged their eyes and changed the topic.

"Okay okay! Let's go and change now! Let's not waste time standing here…" (Zach)

The four of them went inside and changed into those swim shorts that they bought earlier.

Link glanced at the mirror and flexed his muscles in various postures.

"You really have quite a well-built physique, Link..." (Zach)

Link nodded his head and replied.

"Well of course! I am a martial artist after all! my physique is my weapon! even Rio doesn't compare to me in this aspect! ahahaha..." (Link)

Rio and Liam both looked much less muscular in front of Link. But they both were by no means weak either.

Putting the 'superfast Rio' aside, Liam himself was blessed by a dragon all day long, obviously, his physique would improve accordingly.

(Technically, Liam could be considered a dragon master after all, there's no way his physique would be weak…)

As for Rio, he doesn't really need that strong of a physique in the first place, one 'sword intent' to the enemy's neck and that's it.

(Sword intent is a type of skill that has a hundred percent chance of cutting something if it lands the hit properly. Even Rahab whose stats were way higher than Rio was not immune to it either.)

…

Naazra Beach

"Hoho~ so this is the famous Naazra beach! Indeed the scenery here is very beautiful!" (Link)

The sun shined brightly in the sky and the calm sea waves made the atmosphere cool and relaxed.

"Wooohhooooo~" (Liam)

Without waiting for anyone, Liam directly lay down on the warm sand and rolled all over the ground.

"The sand is so warm and nice! I can sleep here all day long!!" (Liam)

The passersby looked at Liam as if they were looking at some weirdo and purposely distanced themselves.

"Oi~ we need to set up things first! Come back!" (Zach)

Saying that Zach brought out the umbrella and chairs out of his space ring and handed them over to the three to set up.

When they finally finished setting up the place, they decided to wait for the girls before going to the sea for swimming.

After a few minutes of wait the girls also arrived at the place.

All of them seemed to be talking and laughing about something when they arrived.

When they arrived at the beach they already caught the attention of many onlookers.

Moreover, Link seemed to have stars shining in his eyes when he saw Riya in that cute white colour swimsuit. (She was still nibbling on donuts by the way…)

All four of them wore quite reserved type of swimsuits that didn't show off too much. But still, they all looked good on each of them.

"Oh! Link take this! I bought some for you too! Hehe~" (Riya)

Riya handed over a huge box which was filled with donuts to Link.

"OHhh~ thanks for the treat!" (Link)Nᴇw chapters are publɪshed on ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet

Riya smirked with a proud look on her face when Link praised her.

'Although I had to part with my tasty food, but I guess it's okay as long as he praises me~' (Riya)

While Link and Riya were chatting with each other, others also didn't stay silent.

Rio purposely whispered in Lia's ears:

"You look so hot today, dear, are you trying to make me fall for you all over again~" (Rio)

A slight blush appeared on Lia's face hearing his whisper, yet she smiled and replied.

"so you finally understood my magnificence, hmph! You should cherish the moment then!" (Lia) (Tsundere voice intensifies~)

Lia wore a golden swimsuit that matched perfectly with her smooth golden hair. She looked like a princess straight out of some fairy tale.

Meanwhile, Liam was the only one who was the most surprised. His jaw seemed to have fallen on the ground when he saw Ellie in that dark black swimsuit.

"Wh-what!? Who are you!? My Ellie didn't have such big weapons in her arsenal!" (Liam)

Hearing Liam's surprised voice, Ellie gracefully closed his open mouth and gave a more appealing pose on purpose.

"Hehe~ I am Ellie but the upgraded version~" (Ellie)

Hearing that playful voice, Liam felt like his heart was about to jump out of his mouth.

Without giving Liam any chance to defend himself, Ellie directly held Liam's arm and clung to it like she usually did, but today was different, her weapons attacked Liam from all sides and he nearly fell for it.

Liam's whole face turned red like a tomato due to Ellie's mischievous actions.

"What do you say, master~ how do I look~" (Ellie) (She was doing it on purpose!!)

"O-OH OH y-you look go-good hehe, hehe~" (Liam) (Suffering from mental damage +99)

Liam seems to have suffered multiple critical hits from those soft weapons. His brain seemed to have been fried and he could not think straight anymore.

(On that Day, Ellie discovered Liam's weakness, later on, she will use this same tactic to force Liam to make food for her on many occasions…)

Ignoring the three lovey-dovey couples having fun on their own, Zach glanced at Riko.

Zach glanced at Riko who was wearing a light blue coloured swimsuit and smiled.

"You look good as always, Riko!" (Zach)

Riko nodded her head at Zach's praise but didn't put too much thought on it, she directly sat on one of the beach chairs that they had set up earlier and closed her eyes to enjoy the warm sunlight.

Although he was ignored Zach didn't think too much as he already had known that this was going to happen. He shook his head and asked Link.

"Hey, let's have a swimming competition, I will defeat you all easily by the way!" (Zach)

Zach puffed up his chest in pride and declared:

"I had learned swimming from professional swimmers, let's see if you guys have what it takes to go against me!" (Zach)

Hearing Zach's mocking voice the three guys nodded their heads and followed him to the sea.

'Hehe, Although they might be taller than me, I am more skilled at swimming, there's no way I would lose at this~' (Zach)

…

A few minutes later.

"This is cheating! This is against the rules!" (Zach)

Zach glared at Link and the others with a helpless look on his face.

When the swimming race started, Link used his 'Dao Rhythm' to increase his swimming speed tremendously.

Rio being a super-fast guy, literally ran on water like it was flat ground. All the tourists on the beach were shocked by his speed.

Moreover, Liam didn't even bother swimming, he asked Ellie to attach two shadow hands to his back that did all the swimming for him.

Due to these various cheating methods, Zach lost all three rounds to his juniors.

"Ugh, these guys…" (Zach)

While Zach stood on the beach with a defeated and helpless expression the other three continued to do their own thing.

"Here take this, Rio!" (Link)

Link punched the water created gigantic water waves and launched them at Rio.

Rio on the other hand turned his sword into a 'giant great sword' and used it like a surfing board to surf over the waves created by Link.

Liam used those shadow hands to jump over those waves like he was playing a game of 'Let's Avoid being touched by that wave!'.

Blood veins appeared on Zach's face after being ignored like this.

"Don't blame me for being rude then!" (Zach)

Zach brought out his bow from his space ring and aimed at the sea.

[Hunt style: Water type: Blessed Arrow!]

An arrow made of condensed water element appeared out of nowhere and Zach fired the arrow at the sea.

A gigantic water wave was created by his arrow, the wave swept away all three of the 'cheaters' with it.

"Heh! This is what you get for pissing me off!" (Zach)

...

…
