An Extra’s POV

"Sir Ralyks, please meet Yuri. She's a very capable fighter, even among the ranks of the KariBlanc combat force."

Standing beside Aldred, who directed his hand towards her as a means of introduction, was a smiley-faced woman.

Her pink hair was cut short, barely reaching her neck area, and her bright green eyes gleamed like emeralds.

She had clear skin, and her bright smile made it impossible to tell that she was a warrior.

Instead of wearing armor, she wore a casual outfit—an oversized shirt and baggy trousers that resembled a skirt unless one really took a closer look.

Her overall demeanor was positive, so Rey was initially taken aback once the introduction was made.

"Hiya… I mean, greetings, sir! My name is Yuri, ah… I've already been introduced. A-anyway, I'm quite capable, so rely on me when you desire!"

The young lady raised both her hands as if trying to flex her muscles, but nothing except her baggy shirt was shown.

'What's this? She seems like a klutz…'

This girl—Yuri—appeared to be twenty at most, and her personality told Rey that she wasn't the best person to trust when it came to serious matters like this.

However, based on his experience, he knew it would be stupid of him to judge books by their covers.

'I hide my true self under a mask of mediocrity. Also, Lucielle is pretty playful… yet she's strong.'

Associating people based on how they talked or behaved was a rookie mistake that Rey knew he couldn't be found guilty of.

"I'll do my b-e… owww!"

Yuri slipped and fell to the ground the moment she tried to take a step forward.

It seemed her baggy trousers were too much for her, so she accidentally stepped on the edge.

'Ahh… she's making it really hard for me not to judge her, though.'

Yuri had a very cute face—one that didn't resemble the kind of fighter he expected the KariBlanc Group to be so proud of.

Rey knew that Aldred was seeking every chance to impress him, so this girl had to be undoubtedly strong, but…

'She truly doesn't look like she belongs in the Black Market.'

Still, Rey pushed aside those distracting thoughts and focused on the mission.

"Let's leave straight away." As he spoke, Yuri was rising to her feet and Aldred was maintaining his straight smile.

It seemed he was pretending like nothing had just happened in his presence.

'Does that mean stuff like this happens often with her? She's a natural klutz? The hell…?'

Still, Rey didn't allow any of that get in the way of his thoughts or reasoning.

It wasn't like he needed her or anything.

'I'll handle anyone who gets in my way. These two are just here as accessories.'
