An Extra’s POV

When Rey first saw his conjured Beast, he couldn't help but have a single thought.

'Why?'

Why did it have to be a cat?

Could it be due to some influence from Alicia? Perhaps he had some affinity for them that he didn't recognize.

Either way, it was totally unexpected seeing the creature sitting at the center of the circle.

It had jet black fur, with purple eyes, and a pretty long tail that curled around it.

It stared at Rey with a calm look, it's eyes glowing with a strange power he could not decipher.

'Is it using a Skill?'

It was at this point that Rey decided to use his Appraisal Skill on the creature.

Thankfully… it worked!

[End Of Information]

The first thing this confirmed to Rey was that he could use his S-Tier Absolute Appraisal Skill on those with an S-Tier Class.

So the reason he couldn't use it on Adonis had to be some other reason.
