Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 390: A healer who gives candy as medicine...

Standing on the balcony of his room, Liam was staring at the starry sky when he noticed some movement on the balcony of the room right beside his own.

Liam glanced to his side and noticed that Riya had come out in the balcony of her room at some point; she was now staring at Linkʼs room as if she was going to jump into his balcony and enter his room secretly.

But she stopped in her tracks as she noticed Liam standing nearby.

”Er... Donʼt mind me, please continue...”

Seeing that Riya was a bit embarrassed that her plan of sneaking into Linkʼs room was found out, Liam waved his hand and said that he didnʼt see anything at all.

But Riya felt kind of awkward, so she decided not to go to Linkʼs room today.

”What are you doing here in the balcony so late at night anyway?”

Instead, she pouted her cheeks and questioned Liam.

Liam shook his head and gave a wry smile.

”Er... I was just looking at the scenery; who could have thought that I would end up witnessing

a young maiden hopping through balconies so late at night...”

Riya sighed at those words and stopped questioning him; she knew she was caught red- handed, so there was no point in justifying anything now.

She was planning on pranking Link, but her plan failed as Liam saw her sneaking around.

Riya glanced at the sky and spoke in a calm voice.

”The scenery is good, but why does it seem like you are not feeling good? Is something bothering you?”

Riya being a healer and the possessor of the ʼHeart of Eternal Nirvanaʼ, easily noticed that Liam was in a depressed mood, and something was definitely bothering him.

She might be slow and clumsy in other aspects, but when it comes to her skills as a healer, sheʼs more skilled than an S-ranker.

Her question stunned even Liam, leaving him speechless for a considerable amount of time. ”Er... I didnʼt expect you to be the one to see through me out of the rest of the group...”

ʼIt wouldnʼt have been so surprising if it was Rio who saw through me, but to think even Riya has such capabilities...ʼ

Riya brought out a candy from her space ring and threw it in her mouth. She leaned her back against the wall and said in a smug voice,

”Hmph, who do you think I am? I am the best healer you can find in the entire younger generation!”

Liam smiled at those words and glanced at the stars twinkling in the sky.

A look of hesitation appeared on his face, but he still asked a question that he had always been wanting to ask recently,

”Riya, can you heal someone affected by extreme corruption?... I know that you werenʼt able to save Zach Senpai, but now you have a legendary skill... So can you heal someone whoʼs in an even worse situation than Zach Senpai was?”

Liamʼs question carried a hint of sadness; he seemed reluctant to talk more about it; he could feel himself being completely powerless in this situation.

[This is the reason why I didnʼt want to tell you... You worry too much about your summons; this is not a good thing...]

Now that Liam has a little bit of mastery over ʼMana Fieldʼ, he can talk to Ellie without alerting the senses of the SS-rankers in the vicinity.

He can now hide the mana fluctuation when Ellie talks to him, as he has absolute control over his mana now.

Thus, not even Idri will notice him talking to Ellie now unless he deploys his ʼWorld Authorityʼ to counter his ʼMana Fieldʼ.

Before Liam could refute Ellieʼs words, Riya spoke first.

”Yes! Of course I can! All this while my main goal has been to become strong enough to heal someone who is affected by abnormal status effects!”

”I was not able to save Zach Senpai, and that taught me the way for improvement...”

Riya clenched her small fists and spoke with a determined look on her face.

”As long as the other party has even one breath left in them, I can heal them! And if I canʼt do so, then I am not worthy of having the heart of eternal Nirvana!”

Riya is dead serious right now. For her, her skills as a healer are her pride.

She canʼt fight enemies with such indomitable confidence like Link; she canʼt face enemies with such insane speed and capabilities as Rio; and she canʼt strategize and make plans like Liam.

Moreover, she doesnʼt have a super strong familiar like Lia either, and she canʼt compete with Ellie in terms of how good she is at protecting the person she cares for.

But sheʼs sure of one thing: just like how she canʼt imitate others, they canʼt imitate her either.

The reason why Riya got the legendary ability in the first place was because she promised that she would become capable of healing every wound that existed or may exist in the future. ”Well, if you say so, I guess I will believe you... I will ask for a favor then; you gotta help me out soon; I guess you really are ʼThe Walker of the Path of Eternal Nirvanaʼ...”

”It was rude of me to doubt your determination and skills...”

Liam was surprised after seeing such a serious expression on Riyaʼs face.

Such a serious expression doesnʼt suit her at all; sheʼs always happy and smiling, so Liam sometimes forgets that sheʼs actually a peak A-ranker now, just like the rest of them.

Itʼs rude to doubt her capabilities just because she seems so oblivious about the world most of

the time.

”Well, I will try my best! Hehe... Here have this!”

Riya tossed a candy to Liam and spoke in a calm voice.

”Candies are the best remedy when you are having a lot in your mind; they replenish sugar; they are the ultimate cure to depression! I have used them to cure many patients before...”

”You can have one of the rare ones from my collection!”

Riya waved her hand at Liam and went back to her room. After saying those words, a happy smile hung over her face.

Although she didnʼt get to prank Link today, she at least got to show off her abilities as a competent healer; that is good enough for her today.

Liam smiled and shook his head while looking at that candy in his hand.

ʼIf only I could be as happy-go-lucky as you, that would have solved a lot of problems for me...ʼ

[Master, hide that candy or eat it, if Link sees that on you, he will definitely cause massive chaos!] Liam nodded his head at those words and tossed the candy in his mouth. He rarely eats such sweet things, but perhaps Riyaʼs choice was indeed very good. Liam didnʼt feel that the taste

was too sweet.

It was good enough for him.

ʼShe saw through me... She knew that I wouldnʼt like it if it was too sweet; itʼs quite hard to accept that someone who looks as nonchalant as her can be so good at seeing through

peopleʼs minds...ʼ

Heart of Eternal Nirvana is one of the most broken powers out there; if conditions are right, it can even help the user to see through the thoughts and emotions of a target.

If not for the fact that this legendary skill is solely focused on helping and healing, it would

have been one of the most lethal weapons, even more lethal than the destructive power of

ʼSword Intentʼ.

ʼCome to think of it, I have never seen Riya get angry at anything... Is she a saint or something who can breeze through any situation without worries?ʼ

Liam sighed and shook his head.

[But are you sure you should ask her to go to the spirit realm? Itʼs a dangerous place, you know...]

[In fact, I donʼt want you to go there either... That place is filled with millions of evil spirits too... They will attack you on sight...]

The spirit realm not only has good spirits living in it; itʼs a home for evil spirits too; that place is not something you can go to at random.

Itʼs the second most dangerous place in this world, right after the ʼEndless Sea of Miasmaʼ.

It is said that even SS-rankers are not safe when traveling in such dangerous places, and even they avoid these two places as much as they can.

After all, no one knows how many strong enemies reside in these two places; the information available on them is very small.

Liam himself is not sure if she should really head into the spirit realm or not; after all, itʼs a

gamble of life and death.

ʼI

guess I should go there after reaching rank S first... and I will also have to have that expressionless guy on my side... But how do I get him to agree...ʼ

ʼShould I bribe Lia and ask her to make him agree?ʼ

ʼWait, what would be suitable enough to be given as a bribe to her though?ʼ

[Er... I think we can capture a few pictures of Rio secretly, they should be enough for a bribe...]

ʼWhat? How come? Why would she be happy with just some random pictures, though?ʼ

[Er...y-you wonʼt understand, itʼs a secret between us girls...]

ʼEh? Well, if you say so...ʼ

Ellie has wandered around with Lia a lot, and she was the one who taught Lia how to be more ʼboldʼ and more honest with her desires, so she has a good grasp of what Lia likes and what

shady things she has done before.
