Shuttling Between the Two Worlds

I am actually a side character. My delusions about being an extra shattered completely.

Thanks to my 3 years of training, this didn't affect me much. It's just so similar to discovering that what you believed in your whole life is a lie.

With this good Comprehension, it's not impossible to make a name. 

There's also Red. Yep. When me and Dan(Aria) teamed up, he didn't object, as if supporting us.

If so.. Did I and Aria became.. something much more than a friend in the past life?

No, no.. I can't assume that she likes me. I find this very unbeli-

"Red, big trouble!"

Mr Mark, our homeroom teacher, interrupted my thoughts.

Red had tied down around 10 torches on a tree every 100m radius. It is tied to form a 1km radius of the forest that's surrounding the building.

If something wrong happens in that torch, intruders are most likely it. Since 5 layers are filled with shadows, they've advanced for about 500m already. In short, they're just 1km away from us!

"5 layers of torches in South-East are filled with shadows?"

"What?!"

"Monsters.."

"Mr Mark, did Shawn see anything?"

Red then asked. Mr Mark has the trait [Sound Control], making him the best watchman out here, since he's basically a humanoid megaphone. He's on the fifth floor(Rooftop), yet we all can hear his voice clearly.

Meanwhile, Shawn has [Hawk Eyes], which enables him to see farther. Both of them are part of the Order.

5 seconds passed before Mr Mark replied.

"Small silhouettes! It might be goblins!"

"Understood! Everyone, prepare!"

Everyone who was eating quickly rushed towards the back of our building. Since the front of the building is our north, then behind it is the south.

We then quickly formed a semicircle formation. 

Even these students became quite disciplined when it comes to danger huh..

At the front, Red is there, obviously. Dan(Aria) is also in the front as well, so I'm there too. After showing to her that I've comprehended the 3 techniques to Initiate-Level, she allowed me to practice against those F+ mobs.

"Most are F+ Rank goblins, but there are some F- Rank too. You can train here."

"Understood."

Dan(Aria) told me that. Yep, I can really use my techniques here, since those F- Rank goblins can be realistically defeated by my G+ Rank.

As for Red, he didn't seemed to be surprise. That basically sealed it then. All my speculations are true, or maybe the most of it.

"8 layers! 9 layers!"

Mr Mark was left on the rooftop to become our eyes along with Shawn. 

"10 layers! They're coming!"

The first defense started.

***

Red looked at the people behind him. Aside from the 84 members of the Order that have the Iron Weapons with F+ piercing and cutting ability, the rest of the 600 has to carve a wooden spear on their own.

Thanks to the environment of this forest being energy-rich, the tree branches is enough to create a wooden spear with F- Rank piercing ability. If 7 people gang up on 3 goblins, they'll be able to defeat them safely.

'Sigh.. Money constraints. I should earn more after we get out of here.'

Red remembered this scenario in his past life. After more than 200 people died in the first attack, the 4 E+ Ranks cleared up the mobs.

Just then, some were immediately frightened by this world, causing them to run in the forest. A very bad decision from the get-go.

Different environment, different planet. Just the poisonous things out there is enough to kill them, but what about those magical beasts?

That's why the first step of Red is to consolidate these people so that they could protect the building, as it will serve as a good base camp against these attacks.

"They're here."

More and more goblins popped out of the woods. Fortunately, this group of goblins only numbered around 200—based on his previous life.

'It should be the perfect training dummies that the others can have.'

***

"Kwee!"

A goblin. Around 1.5m tall, has a petite body, and is around F Rank, the strength of a normal adult or a student athlete.

The more stronger ones would be the goblin pack leaders, around at F+ Rank. The hobgoblins, on the other hand, is at E- Rank at the very least.

[Dagger Mirage]!

Instantly, 11 more iron daggers surrounded the neck of a F+ Rank goblin. This technique, which created illusions, needed for its user to generate a core node while calculating. The core node is of course, the dagger in my hands.

Stab!

12 daggers stabbed the neck of a goblin, instantly killing it. This move didn't put a dent on my A Rank Vessel(Aura), but I had to act.

[Assassin's Foot]

I got away from those goblins, falling back to where Dan(Aria) is standing.

"You fine?"

"Yea."

Right now, Dan(Aria) persuaded me to at least try the 2 techniques that I've learnt in the past 7 days. It's for practical experience, or so he says.

"It's your first time killing. Are you sure you're fine?"

"Really, I'm fine. I actually worked on a slaughterhouse months ago."

"You did? Why a slaughterhouse?"

"Dunno man, I just felt like I needed more pocket money."

I told him about the fact that I worked on a slaughterhouse since that's the only reason that could explain why I'm still fine.

My acting skills are still lacking, y'know?

"Also, don't tell this to my parents."

"Hm. Sure."

Dan(Aria) then went ahead to slay some more goblins with his personal sword. It looked like a silver longsword, but with inscriptions. It is also on the slender side.

I was told to rest, but other's didn't have the same luxury as me. They have to kill more goblins even though they felt sick when killing those.

The Order members, on the other hand, seems to have adapted quite nicely on this world.

They're the one assigned to kill the monsters found during food scourging after all.

I looked at the surroundings, and well, it looked very fantasy like. People killing goblins with wooden spears, cold weapons, and some are even utilizing magic.

Even though they didn't knew any spells as of now, they can still use their control-type traits to generate elements such as fire, wind, lightning, and so on.

After more than 30 minutes, the first defense was finished. I killed a couple more goblins with my techniques after recovering for a while. Of course, the one that I used to recover is not the Cultivation basics that Red gave us, but my Military Fundamentals instead. It's actually much faster than it.

"Dismantling team, you can now check for magic stones."

Magic Stones, a crystal found on some corpses of magical creatures. It has the ability to enhance recovery and cultivation, empower arrays, and so on. That's what Red thought us these past few days.

Dan(Aria) came back as well after slaying those hobgoblins.

"Ding! You have levelled up!"

"Ahahahaha!"

This time, he's the one who joked around with those novels. What would be his reaction if he knew that I have a level up function?

Yep, there's no convenient things such as level up here. That's why the ones who can fight right now are those F Ranked student athletes. As for the others, only the control-type traits are the exception. Some who awakened weapon masteries but has a weak body couldn't fight yet.

Even cultivation had to be taken slowly, that's why Red and the other 4 are the only high-end combat power right now. Excluding me, that is.

"How's your first kills?"

"Not that bad. I really have to thank those chickens."

Because if not for them, I wouldn't be able to use [World Travel]. I wouldn't be able to reach such heights without it.

"You can go pay respect to those chickens after we go back to our planet."

Yep, Red told us that we're gonna stay here for a month. For reasons unknown, these people just took it for granted. His protagonist power is truly convenient. If I had that one during the Xyphur Disaster, things could be easier. 

I could've just gone ahead and told the City Commander that there's a SS Rank here, request for backup!

Unfortunately, even my [Sixth Sense] didn't recommend me that, as it pointed me over to Xiao Song and Little Xue.

"You're a genius, you know? That's a gold-ranked technique, yet you only needed 7 days!"

"You flatter me.."

I said that with an exaggerated awkward tone. As if getting my joke, he replied.

"Are we in a cultivation novel written by the Qin Country people?"

"I'm surprised you've seen those!"

We kept trading jokes one after another. Maybe it is to lighten the dark mood as well.

With all this, the first defense concluded.
