An Extra’s POV

"So, how are the 'preparations' going?"

As Rey asked this question, Ater's lips broadened and a somewhat sadistic smile formed all over his face.

"They're going well. They should be ready by tomorrow. We can utilize them anytime after that."

"I was thinking of waiting for two or three more days before using them. It's not time yet." Rey responded, rubbing his chin.

"I understand. The beneficiaries aren't ripe yet, am I correct? You desire for them to acclimate a little more."

"Yes. You saw how they were today. They have a long way to go before the plan can be viable."

Ater nodded his head at his Master's wise words.

"You are correct."

While he didn't completely understand the rationale behind his Master's actions, Ater could see the reason behind this plan in particular.

It pleased him that his Master was the one behind it as well.

"I'm quite optimistic about it." Rey added, and Ater couldn't help but give a nod in approval.

They were both on the same page on that matter.

"This is just a tangent, but I guess being in the thick of it with them in today's Raid made me notice a few things about my classmates that I didn't know before." Rey chuckled a little.

He was able to see them very differently since he was paying very rapt attention to them.

It was a somewhat refreshing experience.

"If you so desire, we can create a scenario that will help you explore more of that tomorrow." Ater voiced his opinion, eager to please his master.

Rey narrowed his eyes as he heard what Ater said.

"I promise, it's nothing harmful. In fact, it could end up benefiting them."

"Hmm…" Rey clearly senses that Ater had no malevolent intent with his suggestion, so he knew he could trust him.

"Fine." He sighed. "But you'll have to tell me the details."

"Understood, Master."
