An Extra’s POV

"We're going on a short break. I'll be right back!"

The way Billy stormed out of the training grounds made it clear that he wasn't in a great mood.

Everyone could see that the nobody called Rey had managed to get under his skin; even though it was just by employing certain unexpected tactics to his form.

The gazes they now directed towards him was one of silent admiration and pride.

While they weren't the ones who won… it sure felt good!

'So many eyes are on me…'

Rey was currently laying on the grassy plains, his eyes tightly shut as he enjoyed the fresh air and nice weather.

He didn't particularly like the attention that was being bestowed on him, but he also recognized it as inevitable.

'This is what I get for standing out…'

Rey was certain that if he had lost to Billy, he would also attract a ton of attention—though not for positive reasons.

He would be pitied, and recognized as weak prey.

'I don't want that. Just because I refuse to stand out, it doesn't mean I want to be shit on.'

As Rey had these thoughts, he began to hear hushed murmurs and ramblings of surprise from his classmates.

At the same time, he could hear soft footsteps approach him.

"Hey, Rey. Wanna talk for a minute?"

Rey recognized the voice and slowly opened his eyes to see the girl who had it.

'Trisha… huh…?'

Her arms were currently on her hips as she looked down on him laying down.

'From this angle… I can see quite a lot.' Rey thought to himself, not sure if his cheeks were red or not.

Trisha was extremely fit.

She had an extremely well-toned body, and her muscles were perfectly in tune with her slender body.

Despite this, she had a large pair of boobs, and her ass wasn't lacking either.
