An Extra’s POV

'Sooner or later… the thief will show up again!'

That was Rey's ideology after realizing his property had been stolen.

For the duration of the three days after this discovery, he gave several windows of opportunity, but the thief did not take the bait.

This meant his opponent wasn't merely a reckless individual, but someone smart enough to recognize how to exercise caution.

Still, Rey wouldn't give up.

By pretending to go to the Library, but then using [Stealth] and [Mimic] to return to his room, he could intercept the thief.

'Looks like it worked…' Rey smiled while looking at the pained expression of Noah.

He had used [False Pain] to disable his target since he had the [Phase] Skill.

'[False Pain] just replicates the feeling of pain, so as long as I don't physically harm him, it's fine.'

Now that Noah has become docile, Rey thought it was the perfect time to stop the Skill.

Once he canceled the Skill, an expression of relief coursed through Noah's face.

However, before he could even relax, Rey tightened his grip on his throat.

"Like I said before… don't get any funny ideas."

~BZZTZZ!~

Rey's eyes glowed, and flashes of purple electricity danced around him.

[Phase] could be interrupted by a surge of Mana, and since Rey was confident in his superior speed, he could instantly electrify Noah before the latter could make his move.

It seemed Noah also recognized this.

"I… I understand…!"

Since Noah understood his place pretty quickly, Rey grinned and loosened his grip on the boy.

He eventually let him down and completely removed his hand from his throat.

"I'm much faster than you. I can also force you to experience all that pain again. So, don't even think of running away."
