An Extra’s POV

The students—or rather, Otherworlders—understood what was expected of them.

As they all stood in the gladiator ring, different thoughts were going on in the respective minds of each one.

What kinds of monsters would they fight? Would they be strong? Would it be dangerous?

Naturally, some were scared. However, most of them were pretty excited about what they were about to experience.

They were confident that none of their instructors would let anything bad happen to them.

Their lives weren't at risk at all.

Among the excited ones was Rey. He was excited for two major reasons.

One… he naturally wanted to see how his Class would give him extra Stats after Leveling Up.

'I'm very close, so I should be able to reach Level 20 today…'

Then, there was the second reason.

'I want to see how everyone does in this practical exercise…'

They had never fought monsters during training, so this would be a new experience for most of the people gathered in the massive inner field.

'How will they fare? How will they use their abilities? I want to see…'

To be honest, Rey was only very curious about a select group of people.

The first was undoubtedly Adonis, but Alicia was a close second.

There was also Billy, and the rising star of the Alpha Class—Belle.

Rey was also curious about Trisha's abilities, and he wanted to see if she had improved since he last saw her fight.

'I'm also curious about how she uses that sword…' He smiled as he saw the thing hanging properly on her waist.

'This should be fun.'

"GUUURRRR…"

Rey's excitement slowly began to drop when he first saw the caliber of monsters that were being summoned by the eleven Summoners and Lucielle.

Magic Circles of varying colors and sizes had appeared on the ground, a considerable distance from the students, as they waited for the promised time.

This wasn't the first time they would be engaging in joint training, but it was never anything like this.
