An Extra’s POV

'Why… why do I feel so frustrated?'

As Adonis stood among his classmates, hearing the words of the great Ralyks, he couldn't help but grate his teeth.

A sense of restlessness and unease rested upon him, and he calmed himself by squeezing his hand while placing both hands behind him.

He did his best to express a neutral expression, but any observant person could tell he was upset.

'I was never this strong in my past life. None of us were. This power that Sir Ralyks has is unreal…' His thoughts echoed as he stared at the dark-cloaked figure.

'… It honestly shouldn't exist. Still, I'm glad it does. If not, we would all be dead and humanity would have already lost.'

Adonis truly felt grateful for Ralyks and his existence in their lives—even if he didn't completely understand it yet—however, something ate at him.

It was something he desperately tried to avoid, but Adonis was fighting a losing battle.

'Why do I feel so envious…?'

Adonis had put in every ounce of spare time into training. He chose the most Optimal Class ad sets of Skills for combat, defense, and overall utility.

Since Skills and Classes had the chance to evolve into higher Tiers, and the Hero Class ensured quick growth—among other things—he thought he had made the right choice by choosing his current ability set.

Plus, he had the knowledge of his past life guiding him.

Adonis thought he could combine all of these factors to grant himself a better shot at saving everyone.

But… nothing has really changed,

'Compared to Sir Ralyks… I'm nothing.'

He wanted to cry. Hot tears welled up in his eyes, but he held them all in as he took in deep breaths.

'I know I shouldn't feel this way. It isn't right. We're all on the same side, and we have a common enemy to defeat.'

Normally, as long as that was the case, and Ralyks was contributing to that, he wasn't meant to have any problems with it.

But…

'I just can't help but wonder if all the efforts I put in didn't matter. If I'm even as relevant as I thought…'
