An Extra’s POV

Rey and Esme flew side by side, enjoying the brilliant sight that only they could see thanks to their high altitude.

Esme didn't have any Flight-based Skill, but her [Absolute Elemental Control] Skill allowed her to freely manipulate the elements around her.

Since the winds constituted that, she had no problem freely navigating her way through the air.

When Rey asked her how she was able to fly so easily, she responded:

"I was floating for most of my time in those two weeks of solitude. Learned a bit about my new abilities too…"

Rey was certain that Esme learned a lot more than just a bit, but he decided not to push it any further.

"You have immense potential, Esme." He could only say. "Maybe even more than those Elves we saw."

Rey noticed that Esme's smile only deepened. She didn't argue, so he knew she must have also checked their Status Windows.

'From the looks of things, they get 10 Stat Points from every Level Up. That's incredibly broken…'

Compared to humans, Elves were on another Level. Of course, someone like Adonis easily trumped them.

'They also have a ton of Skills. That Aurora lady had nearly fifteen Skills. That's like three times the limit of the strongest humans in H'Trae.'

All in all, Rey was impressed by the Status Windows he saw.

'Aurora looks like a young woman in her late twenties, and the others look like teenagers. Their Level difference is like night and day, as it should be…'

'If they were actually good people and Esme went with them, then it's possible that they could help her grow incredibly strong.'

All of that was lost now, but it was by no means thier fault.

'And now…' Rey glanced at Esme, whose eyes were on the landscape below them.

Once he gave her his attention, however, she looked at him and tilted her head to the side in curiousity.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" She asked.

He shook his head.
