Reborn as an Extra

Seventeen years ago from now, a famous assassination organization existed in the human empire.

It was so famous that even other races knew about its existence.

There were rumors spreading around that the assassins of that organization were all specially trained killers and they had a 100 percent success rate in every mission.

The identity of the boss of the organization was unknown, but people knew him from his title of 'The Soul Splitter'.

Some even said that the organization was being funded by the SS-rankers themselves and the government was using this organization to do their dirty work.

Regardless of the rumors that were spreading in the world, the organization remained true to its principles.

They took missions like sneaking into the territory of another race and assassinating key figures or stealing important documents from other races, etc.

Those races that didn't have an SS-ranker, ended up having a huge amount of their critical information leaked to the human race because of the sneaky activities of this organization.

For the human race, the organization was a blessing but for those who were targeted by it, it was a nauseating curse.

The time when the organization appeared for the first time was 10 years after the end of the Orc War.

The organization remained functional for at least 13 years and gained a lot of fame and merits over the years.

At its peak, there were at least 45 A-rankers in that organization.

(The guild that (Lia's father) James runs today, doesn't have more than 35 A-rankers working in it... even though it's the second strongest guild of the human empire...)

The organization took many shady missions over the years and it helped in finding many criminals who had fled outside the human empire's borders or were staying hidden in some underground places.

The commissions that the organizations received every year were extremely high in numbers.

That organization was so successful that it directly caused the business of other information and assassin agencies to flop.

But as the saying goes, 'Nothing is eternal'.

The organization disappeared from the face of the world just as suddenly as it had appeared.

All the members of the organization disbanded all of a sudden and they went to various other organizations overnight.

That famous organization that was feared all over the world, disbanded all of a sudden. Years went by and the name of the organization was buried in the annals of history.

Nowadays, only a few people remember its name.

The name of that organization was 'Scourge of the Darkest Nights'.

...

Irvin stared at the documents in his hands and the more he looked the more shocked his face appeared.

"R-ranked 2nd... in the great freya academy... has shown amazing mastery over legendary skill 'sword intent'!?" (Irvin)

That line was so shocking that Irvin couldn't help but stare at Tamonte's smiling face with doubts.

Tamonte nodded his head and smiled as he said.

"You know, you really should install a TV or something in this place, you have cut yourself off with technology.... If you had a TV you could have seen it by yourself..." (Tamonte)

"you mean!?" (Irvin)

"Yes, I saw him appear on the TV, only then did I get to know about his name you know... I thought it was odd that he had the same name as 'boss', so I ran background check..." (Tamonte)

(He is talking about the time when Rio's video of fighting against Link and the others was leaked to the national media during the end of the group survival test...)

Tamonte pointed to the documents and said:

"And these are the results I got from the background check..." (Tamonte)

[Mother Name: Alicia]

[Father's Name: Kevin Flash]

[Born on 12 August in a small public hospital under the care of an A-rank healer... survived the 'Drift' city massacre and lived in an orphanage for five years till he got selected into the great Freya academy...]

"This sounds so ridiculous... he had a son and!...sigh, is this the real reason why he disbanded the organization... d*mn it!" (Irvin)

A look of anger appeared on Irvin's old face as he read all the details in that document.

(The mission to kill Azazel was a national secret, thus Kevin didn't tell about it to any of his subordinates...)

"The only reason he told us for the disbanding of the organization was that he wanted to retire from the life of endless killing and slaughtering..." (Irvin)

"Yes, this might be the real reason why he retired... he must have wanted to spend time with his family... not like I blame him, I would have done the same..." (Tamonte)

Irvin stared at Rio's photo for a while and after a few minutes, his anger calmed down a lot.

"Sigh... so in the end... he didn't trust us enough to tell us about his family... tch! And I thought we were comrades who fought together while trusting each other with our backs..." (Irvin)

Tamonte waved his hand at Irvin's statements.

"Haha, no way, that guy was always overly cautious... and I think his concern might not be wrong, after all, each of the members of our group was strong..." (Tamonte)

"It would have been as easy as killing a chicken for any of the members of the group, to simply deal with his family... his wife was just an ordinary human and even the kid was too young to put up a fight..." (Tamonte)

"heh, you think he would have left any of us alive if something like that had happened?" (Irvin)

Tamonte scratched the back of his neck at those words.

"Haha, yes… it was impossible to hide from him…" (Tamonte)

…

"All things aside, what are your plans now? You brought me all this information… what are you planning to do with it now?" (Irvin)

Irvin's eyes narrowed as he glared at Tamonte's face with doubts.

"Don't tell me you want to restart the organization under the banner of his son… if this background check is correct, then that kid already has 'Sword Intent'…" (Irvin)

"And if he has taken after Kevin's personality… that kid will definitely kill you in an instant… I don't dare to doubt the abilities of someone who can rank 2nd in the great Freya academy…" (Irvin)

"Moreover, being able to go toe to toe with a ridiculous monster like Link Rex… he is way out of your league to deal with…" (Irvin)

Hearing Irvin's words, Tamonte shook his head and said in a calm tone.

"No way, you really think I will dare to go and confront him… moreover, I am married now, my children are waiting for me at home… can't waste my life over such an idiotic reason…" (Tamonte)

Tamonte sipped the alcohol from the bottle directly and then said with a refreshed look on his face.

"The reason I decided to bring this information to you is because your grandkids are going to that academy, no?" (Tamonte)

"Tch! So you knew about Ars and Leo… I thought I hid them well enough…" (Irvin)

"haha, Don't forget I was also a member of the same organization as you… I have been taught this information-

gathering skill directly by the boss…" (Tamonte)

"Actually, I am more surprised that you didn't find out about Rio from your grandchildren…" (Tamonte)

Irvin shook his head and said in a depressed tone:

"Those two don't know about the organization we worked for, they don't even know about Kevin's name, so obviously they wouldn't have noticed anything odd in the academy…" (Irvin)

"If they knew, they would have already sent the information to me… sigh… it seems that the saying 'It's always the darkest under the light', is indeed true…" (Irvin)

Tamonte and Irvin both went silent for a while.

After a few minutes, Tamonte got up from his seat and waved his hand at Irvin.

"Okay, my wife is calling me, I gotta go back now… don't wanna make her angry at me…" (Tamonte)

"I will leave all these documents with you, do what you want, I don't plan on getting involved at all, I want to live the rest of my life as an ordinary person… I have already retired from that life of endless slaughter…" (Tamonte)

After saying that, Tamonte started to leave.

Just when he reached the stairs, he looked back and waved at Irvin with a wide grin on his face.

"If the opportunity arrives, do visit me someday, I will ask my wife to make delicious food for you, old man!" (Tamonte)

After shouting that at the top of his lungs, Tamonte left the secret tavern.

Irvin stared at his fading back and smiled slightly.

"Arrogant punk… I am not that old yet you know…" (Irvin)

Irvin shook his head and stuffed all the documents given by Tamonte into his own space ring.

"Rio Flash… Shall I go and meet him someday… I might get to know more about what Kevin has been doing all these years from him…" (Irvin)

Irvin doesn't know yet that Kevin has already been dead for seven years, he still thinks that he must have been living somewhere in hiding.

"Perhaps I should ask those two brats to invite him to our home someday…" (Irvin)

The organization that they worked for was already gone and there was no point in clinging to it anymore, most of the members had already retired, and there was no meaning in trying to ask them to gather once again.

Seventeen years is a very long time for A-rankers like them after all, they don't have the insane lifespan of SS-rankers.

"Still… I feel like that having a conversation with the son of your 'boss' is kind of awkward…" (Irvin)

…
