An Extra’s POV

"I was watching you… Rey."

Alicia's breaths were heavy, her chest rising up and down every second as she looked at the boy she was talking to.

He was also equally tired—no, perhaps even more so.

"You just kept hacking and hacking. You didn't even show a hint of fear at all."

Of course, this was a quality she admired in Rey—the assertive nature he had underneath the seemingly plain appearance and personality he usually showed.

It was thanks to watching him constantly attack, despite the exhaustion he must have been feeling, that she was able to keep going despite feeling extremely drained.

She couldn't let up—not after seeing what Rey was doing.

And so, despite feeling lightheaded, tired, or downright sick, she kept her attacks. As a result, they were eventually able to defeat the Monster.

"T-thank you, Alicia. I just… had to do it!"

"Weren't you scared at all? I mean… you were so close to the thing."

"I… I wasn't scared." Rey said as he smiled at her.

"I knew we would win."

Alicia's face instantly morphed into that of surprise. She didn't think anyone could say such words given the situation.

All their options seemed to have vanished, and even their guardians were eviscerated. If it hadn't been for certain conditions, and the aid of Adonis' leadership, they would have all perished.

"You do realize that we could have easily been killed if we made the slightest mistake, right?"

"But we didn't." Rey responded, his smile growing even broader.

"I believe Sir Ralyks must have been very confident in our capabilities… enough to believe we could take down that thing."

Alicia's eyes widened even more upon hearing that name.

"So he… he actually…!"

Thanks to the intensity of the situation, she never really had the time or opportunity to process the bigger picture of things. But now… she was beginning to unravel everything.

"Are you saying he knew such a Monster was waiting for us here?" She blurted out, her voice so loud that it attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
