An Extra’s POV

~BOOOOMMM!~

As the several trees flew and crashed against their fellow trees, sending the resultant debris flying in multiple directions, a disjointed echo of destruction followed.

Layers of catastrophes caused the ground to shake violently, almost as if an earthquake was about to occur and swallow everything whole.

Britta shook amidst this literal disaster, realizing that the walls of trees that once stood beside her were no more.

She was even more surprised that, despite what just happened, she wasn't harmed at all.

"Are you alright, Miss Britta?" Jet approached the shaken Adventurer, his tone still calm despite the crazy thing that just happened.

"Y-yeah, I am. It seems the two of you are alright as well."

Britta was just as surprised—if not more surprised—by the fact that the two candidates were unscathed as well. Even if her case was luck, it was impossible for the two of them, who were right in front of her, to not have been affected.

They were literally the ones closest to the powerful winds that blew everything away.

"Lux used her barrier to shield us, so I guess none of us got hurt." Britta twitched the moment she heard that.

'A barrier, huh? That makes more sense than mere luck.'

She couldn't believe that the very two whom she looked down on—or at least, one of them—was responsible for saving her life.

'To think she would have a barrier that strong. Is it an Item?' It most likely was.

Britta also had an Item that generated a barrier around her, but it could only be used for a limited number of times, and she had to activate the shield normally.

'There's no way their reaction speed exceeds mine. They were also closer to the blast, which means they had less time to prepare.'
