An Extra’s POV

"Alright, everyone. Let's gather around!"

Adonis was standing close to the entrance of the Otherworlders' residence.

Beside him was Alicia, but she was mostly silent.

The students began streaming into the living room, curious about what Adonis had to say.

Even the ones holed up in their rooms emerged upon hearing his call.

Before long, everyone had arrived, all seated in their respective chairs or sofas. A few also opted to sit on the quite cool and comfortable floor.

Their eyes filled with anticipation, fixated on Adonis, as they waited patiently for his announcement.

"Maybe some of you already know this, but Alicia and I thought it was high time to catch up with Brutus to plan out our training sessions." Adonis' announcement elicited a few groans, but nothing too serious.

"You don't have to worry. I made it crystal clear to him that we're not signing up for boot camp." Adonis flashed a reassuring grin at his crew. "This won't be like school, I promise. Not even close."

A few laughs were heard from the audience at the last statement, as well as sighs of relief.

In this strange new world, despite the few inconveniences, one thing stood out and made everyone appreciate it even more: there was no school!

For these lively teenagers, the absence of that stressful environment was a breath of fresh air.

Many had worried that this training would become a new version of the dreaded 'school.' But thankfully, Adonis's words brought a wave of relief.

His reassurance sparked hope among them.

"We'll be expected to put in about six hours a day for training. Sounds pretty generous compared to our old school routine, right?" Adonis nodded, flashing a wink as if he were dishing out a grand favor.

"Six hours?" Someone groaned, and a chorus of complaints followed.

"I just wanna chill here a bit longer!"

"Do we get any time for ourselves before—"

"Training starts tomorrow," Adonis declared firmly, setting off an even louder uproar among the students.

Their attitude had shifted, morphing into a bunch of entitled kids grumbling about intensive training.

"Guys, people in this world are dying every day," Alicia pointed out, trying to instill a sense of purpose. "Our primary purpose for being here is to save them. Starting training as soon as possible gives us the best shot at fixing this mess."

Alicia had kept quiet since the meeting started, observing the students' reactions.

However, seeing their response, she felt compelled to step in.
