An Extra’s POV

After training was over, the students had the rest of the day to themselves.

Of course, the first thing they went and did was freshen up in their respective rooms. Afterwards, they went on whatever activities suited their fancy.

Some decided to take a walk on the vast grounds of the Royal Estate. Others decided to talk with one another, while a few try-hards were busy asking their instructors questions instead of taking a break.

However, none of these categories of people compared to the next category.

These students were beyond the level of tryhards, and they actually garnered the respect of those who saw them.

The category of students who kept training despite the time of training being over.

The likes of Adonis and Billy fell into this group.

A few other students had tried it out for some time, but these two were the most consistent. They also put in the longest hours.

"They're fucking monsters!"

"They're crazy! But I like it."

"At least we know who's got our backs in battle."

"I really want to be Bill's friend…"

"Adonis is doing this for all of us. We can't afford to slack off either!"

These were the kinds of comments that were spreading among them.

However, even with this praise given to the super tryhards, there was another category that was only occupied by one person.

"Hey, where's Alicia? Did she go there again?"

"Ah… yeah. She's there again."

"She hasn't been hanging out with any of us recently."

"I wonder what she's looking for there…"

"Yeah. Me too. She hardly visited the library back when we were in school."

That's right! Alicia White spent most of her time after training in the library.

Some admired this about her, but many students thought she was trying to avoid everyone else by being a Lone Ranger.
