An Extra’s POV

The training session ended and every student went their own way.

Rey found himself walking with Alicia, while Trisha had gone off to talk to her friends.

'… Thankfully.' He nearly sighed in relief.

As they walked to their Living Quarters, a voice called out for both of them.

"Rey, Alicia! Good one out there today!"

Rey recognized the voice, but he still turned back to look at the face of the one who made it.

It was none other than Adonis.

Beside him was Belle, who was waving gently as she gave her cute smile.

"I'm proud of you guys." He seemed to genuinely mean what he said, but Rey couldn't help but feel heat rising in his chest.

'You leveled up nine times in just an hour, you bastard! Don't give me that!'

He honestly felt like punching Adonis, but he kept himself under control.

'What kind of past life did this guy have to be so—?'

"I'm currently heading to training, so I thought maybe Belle here could go with you guys to our quarters."

The moment Adonis said this, Rey felt his envy dissipate.

'What am I thinking? Adonis trains hardcore every day. He works hard, and he's always been the most diligent out of everyone here.'

He wasn't merely 'lucky.'

Sure, he had the best Class among everyone else, but wasn't that simply because he was such a responsible person back on Earth?

If he wasn't, how would he have gotten such a high Karma? Even when they first met Seraph, he had ensured to calm everyone down.

He wasn't just some entitled lucky guy.

'While I was being average, he was doing his best in school…'

Sure, Adonis seemed like the kind of perfect guy that anyone would want to be.

But, Rey was sure it had taken some measure of effort—no, probably tons of it—for him to end up this way.

'I still feel bitter, but there's no helping it. Life isn't fair, so there's no point dwelling on it.'

Rather than being so fixated on Adonis, he just had to try his best as well.

'I'll grow strong in my own way.'

"Sure. I don't mind." Alicia responded to Adonis' question, causing Rey's mind to return back to the conversation at hand.
