Aetheric Chronicles: Reborn As An Extra

The first one will be obviously the joint class between us and the second year. The second one will happen right after the first one.

The ones to shine in the first event will be undoubtedly the MC, Ren, and obviously - ME.

I also think there is a chance new individuals may arise. They could be either my sister - Aurelia, or even Emeric, or an individual nobody expects. That is also what I am hoping for.

After all, the first event is about teamwork. Perhaps I can make my own team the dark horses of the event.

But, there\'s also the matter of the second event.

Sigh... Let\'s first see who will I be teamed up with.

"Since I explained overall knowledge, we will start applying in it actual combat. Now, I will randomly assign each of you to a team based on your strength and fighting style. It wouldn\'t be good if there were only assassins or tanks in your team, right?"

"Yes, instructor!" The students replied.

"Good. I have already thought of a way to split you into teams. You will be divided into three groups according to your style: front, mid, and last-row members of a team. Then you can pick a number from a random number picker. Those who have the same number will form one group."

As a front-row fighter, I joined the first group and waited for my turn.

As I pressed the hologram, my number appeared on the screen: 4.

Instructor Valeria called out the numbers one by one, and soon it was my turn to find my teammates.

"Those with Number 4 step out and stand beside Group 3." the Instructor called out.

I made my way over to the area next to Group 3. Then I waited for my teammates. Soon, I saw a boy shorter than me but with a good build. What surprised me even more was his ears, slightly pointed, red hair, and his good-looking but serious face.

Wait, I seem to know him. He was also a side character who appeared many times.

He nodded to me as he already arrived. "I am Kieran, I am good at defense and have good strength" he introduced himself. "Nice to meet you."

I returned the nod. "Adrian."

Yeah, Keiran, is a good individual to be teamed up with. He is a half-elf by the way. But half dwarf at the same time. Thankfully, there is no discrimination between elves and dwarfs. It\'s just... only between his parents\' families...

Next to arrive was a girl with long, flowing black hair and piercing blue eyes. She had an air of confidence about her as she approached us.

"Hi, I\'m Lila, dual mage of fire and lightning," she said with a smile. "Looks like we\'re on the same team."

I and Kieran nodded in greeting. I also know her. Although not the strongest, she is still a good mage, though there is a slight problem with her personality and attitude.

Both of their ranks should have been in the top 50 as well.

While I was trying to remember about the two, a voice

interrupted my thoughts. "Hey, you\'re Adrian, right?"

I turned to see a tall, muscular guy with a friendly smile approaching us. He had messy brown hair and a laid-back demeanor.

"Yeah, that\'s me," I replied.

"I\'m Max," he said, extending his hand for a shake. "Nice to meet you. I specialize in long-range attacks with my bow."

\'I remember you...\' I extended my hand and exchanged a handshake with him.

After exchanging a handshake with me, he turned his attention to Kairen and looked for a moment before ignoring him. What a rude attitude, huh?

But Kairen even didn\'t spare a glance at him, still wearing his serious expression. Good one from him, haha.

"H-Hi, "I heard a voice from our right side and turned over. "N-Nice to meet you. I-I\'m Ardel. I-I\'m an assassin."

Huh, Ardel? Isn\'t this a surprise?

But why is he talking like this? Didn\'t we become buddies the other day?

Oh, wait, it must be because of these fellas and the others around us, right?

But, wait...

Did he say an assassin? Ah, right! I forgot about it all. He was originally an assassin. I might have forgotten about it because of his ability and that incident.

Whatever, it\'s good to have someone you know and can trust in your team.

With that thought, I glanced at my other three teammates. As I expected, Lila and Max ignored him, while...

"You are Ardel? My name is Kieran, I\'m pleased to meet you." There was our guy, enthusiastically greeting Ardel though still with a serious expression.

My buddy Ardel seems troubled and the look on his face. Haha... Haha...

Haha, what a strange and funny scene.

But I have an idea why Kieran acting this way, it\'s possible he sensed Ardel\'s affinity with nature.

Hmm?

In a coincidence, I noticed Lila looking at Kieran, her lips curling upward, but when she glanced at Ardel, they immediately pursed...

Am I seeing things?

Or... Could it be... She has a crush on Kieran?

Possibly, coupled with his good looks and serious demeanor, he is probably popular among the girls. But then again, I could be wrong.

Even the novel knowledge can\'t help me this time. After all, the lives and romantic relationships of extra(side) characters weren\'t written in detail. It\'s just a speculation for now.

Wait a moment...

Now that I think about it... All of us are extras, right?

Then...

Did we become a team of extras?

Sounds cool!

But, can I achieve what I want with them? I thought as I observed the four one by one. Well, at least I will give it a try.
