Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 88 What is SSA...

Near Academy's Teleportation alter.

A large number of students are gathered near the altar today, the whole atmosphere is lively and filled with endless chattering of the students. Most of the students have excited looks on their faces. After all, today is an important day for them.

"Ugh, why do I have to be in the same group as you two, how annoying!"(Lenn)

"Hmph, I don't want to be seen with a pink chimpanzee either! My social image has been destroyed by being with you!" (Ars)

"Hah, you are the one to say, you green gorilla! And nobody cares about your social image at all!" (Lenn)

"Go back to the zoo! Pink chimpanzee!" (Ars)

"You go back to the forest and eat your bananas, green gorilla!" (Lenn)

"H-hey, you two, c-can you please stop fighting, t-the teacher is about to come very soon…" (Leo)

"Shut up, golden mosquito! Today either he will apologize or I am going to beat the S*it out of him right here right now!" (Lenn)

"Golden worm, you stay out of this, today I will show this woman her place!" (Ars)

While Ars and Lenn continued to glare at each other and imaginary lighting sparks were flying between them, Leo could only smile helplessly as he got roasted for absolutely no reason.

(Caution- Massive info dumps ahead…)

A month has passed since the entrance ceremony and all the first years have gradually adapted to their academy life.

Several friend groups and couples are already starting to appear, yet some already see each other as enemies and make funny nicknames to taunt each other, nonetheless, a new year brimming with energy has started and the academy has slowly recovered from the depression of the previous dungeon incident.

Today, the first-year students have gathered here to take part in a group activity.

Groups have been made on the basis of your ranking, each group consists of three students who are nearest according to their rankings, due to which Leo, Ars, and Lenn are in the same group as they are Ranked 1, 2, and 3 respectively.

These types of group activities are seldom performed and generally, the academy only carries out single-person type activities.

Today the first-year students are going to go on a three-day survival activity in the SSA.

'Species-specific areas' or in short 'SSA' are the places in a specific region of the human empire where extraordinary creatures are kept for the purpose of providing training to the newly recruited soldiers of the army. These areas are generally some dense forests and extremely hot deserts, where survival is very difficult.

Although going to dungeons to fight the monsters is a good way to learn to fight, they are not suitable for long-term survival training, due to which these SSA are created to provide the necessary training to the army. After all, there's no knowing what the terrain and survival conditions would be when fighting a large-scale war on a huge battlefield.

Academy students were never sent to survive in this place before. This year is the first time the students are being sent to learn to survive in this place. Otherwise, until last year they used to send the students to the dungeons.

But due to the previous dungeon incident, the academy has figured out the fact that surviving in difficult circumstances can make the students more adaptable and stronger, so as to avoid a similar tragedy from happing like the previous one.

Also, it's easy to defend the students in this type of activity. And being in a group would increase their cooperation capabilities on an actual battlefield.

Teleportation alters are built near these SSA, because they are surrounded by the army and there's no need to worry about defense.

Generally, teleportation alters are only built near places that are secure and have heavy protection capabilities. Like the academy where an SS-ranker sits personally to protect the area or the places where the army is stationed nearby. (Of course, we are talking about an army made up of awakened people.)

All other places do not have a teleportation altar in the empire because teleportation jamming artifacts are placed there and teleportation can't be carried out there, this is to prevent the direct teleportation of an invading species.

All the species over the world do the same thing, they only put teleportation alter around the places where security is guaranteed. As teleportation jamming artifacts are double-edged swords, not only do they stop the teleportation of the enemy they stop the teleportation of ours too.

In this world there's no guarantee when you are invaded so you have to take appropriate measures.

The reason why the demon prince and his subordinate were able to come to the capital city was also that there's no teleportation jamming device in the five-kilometer radius of the academy Because you literally can't teleport in the radius of five kilometers around an SS-ranker in the first place, Alverto only succeeded in teleportation because Raji had left the area.

Otherwise, an SS-rankers presence alone nullifies the possibility of teleporting around them, due to their 'world authority' causing spatial solidification.

[Spatial solidification- A phenomenon caused by the bearers of the world authority around them or caused by some certain world-level artifacts.]

[Effects- Stops teleportation or other types of spatial activities.]

[This effect doesn't apply to individuals who are SS-ranked. SS-ranked can still do spatial activities freely. Also, spatial solidification doesn't apply to dungeon gates, they can still open freely like everywhere else. Even the world-class artifacts can't close a dungeon gate whether it be an E-rank gate or SS-rank.] [Closing a dungeon gate forcibly is considered and even SS-rankers who are considered demi-gods can't do this feat, but there are always exceptions and anomalies ….. but who knows…..] …

(Yes, we are back to the chapter now…)

While Lenn and Ars were bickering, a few minutes went by and their class teacher came to the teleportation altar.

When the teacher came all the students went silent and looked towards the teacher. As the teacher looked at the students and smiled slightly, he said:

"Okay, now that all the preparations are ready we are going to teleport to the SSA in the Bismoil district."

"But, don't forget that you have to behave well in case you meet people from the army or any other officer. Don't ruin the reputation of the academy…. Ahem, at the least not more than it already has been ruined…. Cough!"

"Okay now step on the altered group by group, starting from group 1. Also, don't forget to put your group number tag on you."

As the teacher finished his speech all the students put their group number tags on their uniforms. Group 1 which includes Lenn, Leo, and Ars did the same too and stepped on the teleportation altar.

Bismoil District, outer area, Near the SSA

A teleportation altar lit up with brightness in the basement of a huge building. Several officers in their military uniforms could be seen standing near the Altar.

In this huge hall, there are several windows, and one of the higher windows is connected to the office of the military general of the Bismoil District. Every individual who can have the title of general in the army must be at least an S-ranker, the same is true here too.

"Hmm, it seems that the young ones have arrived, it's been so long since I last saw that academy uniform, how nostalgic…." (General Bismoil)

The name of this district is taken from the Bismoil family, which has been protecting and guarding this place since the start of the dungeon gate era.

Today's question is here:

The Bismoil family used to be a royal family which used to govern the kingdom of Bismoil. But after all the humanity merged and established a single human empire, the Bismoil family lost its royal status and became a family of powerful awakeners who protects this land and serves the nation.

Generation after generation, the Bismoil family has provided an S-ranker who becomes a general and protects this land from turmoil. They are well respected by the locals here.

After all the students were successfully teleported, the teacher also arrived:

"Okay, all the students take your specific room keys and head towards the dorms, your survival test will start at 9 a.m. tomorrow, for today you can get familiar with the place."

After the teacher said this he left the place to look for the general and the other army officers started to give the room keys to the students one by one.

Eventually, the students took the key and went to their personal dorm rooms.
