An Extra’s POV

'Looks like you finally went and did it, Adonis…'

Rey's thoughts flowed as he watched Adonis storm out of the room.

Even though he expressed shock just like everyone else, Rey was actually smiling within.

'Don't blame yourself too much. This was inevitable.'

There was no way all of the twenty-eight students would be equally useful to the cause.

Most of them were going to abandon the Alliance at one point or another.

Rey thought he was probably being too pessimistic, but he knew enough about his classmates to tell that they weren't the selfless, altruistic type.

They were merely teenagers who wanted to have fun, enjoy life, and live carefreely.

The only reason they stuck around for this long was due to the perks of developing their powers and learning how to survive.

Once they could no longer gain anything from the Royal Estate, they were bound to leave.

'It's unfair, but that's just how it is…'

Only a few were going to remain, and while not all of them had the purest of intentions, Rey felt like their motivations were enough.

'Even if I leave the Royal Estate, it'll be so I can focus on getting stronger. I don't think I'll ever abandon the people here…'

After all, Rey already knew within himself that he didn't want to go back to Earth.

If this was the world he wanted to live in, then he had to help defeat the Dragon Emperor and keep everyone safe.

To do that, though, he needed power.

'Then, there are a few others that I think won't leave…'

Trisha was definitely in the list, considering her personality and how much she valued growth and strength
