An Extra’s POV

'Master Aldred was right! This man is strong!'

As Yuri walked beside the masked one, known as Ralyks, she couldn't help but slightly tremble in his presence.

She intentionally made sure she was a few inches behind him, just so he didn't misconstrue her walking by his side as disrespectful.

As an escort and guard, being beside a client was the best position to take.

Still, she just didn't feel comfortable walking beside him.

'That [Black Hole] attack was devastating. I've never seen anything like it before!'

Yuri remembered how Aldred was also gawking at the sight, showing just how phenomenal it was.

'That single casual attack destroyed land that spread for over an acre. Just how much more power does he possess?'

Yuri could initially not understand why Ralyks snuck into the Warehouse when he could have just wiped his enemies if he was so strong.

She still didn't understand, but now… it didn't matter.

'Someone on that level… I can't possibly hope to understand how he thinks.'

He was more amazing than any man she had ever seen.

'… Even Master Aldred.'

'Why is she looking at me like that?'

Rey felt uncomfortable as he felt the intense gaze of the girl who was walking beside him.

He had noticed it when Yuri took a few steps back, and that made him even more anxious.

'Is she planning something? I thought I already showed her and Aldred that I am a force to be reckoned with. Did I not do enough?'

Rey's thoughts were in shambles, but he made sure to maintain his guard.

'Now that I'm only carrying these three, the drain on my Mana has reduced tremendously.'

His Mana Recovery Skill was even slowly increasing his Mana. Still, it hadn't reached the point where he could comfortably use his Skills.
