An Extra’s POV

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye, and once again, Billy was the one responsible for training.

Rey didn't really mind it; as long as Billy didn't pay any special attention to him and simply performed his duties as their tutor.

Unfortunately for Rey, he was in for a rude awakening.

"Rey Skylar, step forward."

Rey didn't like it when people used his full name—especially when it was being said in a public place like this.

'Reminds me of a teacher calling me out in class…'

Why couldn't he just be left alone?

Still, if he refused to step out, he would be drawing more attention to himself.

As a result of this logic, he obeyed.

"Today we're going to be reviewing the Martial Arts techniques you have been learning and providing counters for them."

Rey felt butterflies in his stomach as he felt the gaze of everyone on him.

He still wasn't very comfortable about any of this.

"After the sparring session yesterday, and the rest of it being a theoretical discussion, I have come to the conclusion that you're all lacking in a lot of areas."

At this point, no one bothered to argue with him.

Not Trisha… not Adam… and certainly not Rey.

They all knew their place as inferior students, and Billy seemed to be enjoying himself for that very reason.

"I'll be using Rey here as my training dummy for today. Or, maybe a sparring partner would be the most appropriate word to use."

'The hell…?!' Rey's thoughts echoed as he noticed Billy's sly grin.

'What's he on about now?'

"Everyone present will grab a partner. You'll be engaged in sparring with them. As for me… I'll use this one."
