An Extra’s POV

'Damn… Adonis is really good at acting!'

Rey was genuinely shocked by how amazing the Hero was in pretending to be so weak.

'I really need to take some notes.' He thought to himself, nodding silently as he did his best to maintain a stoic demeanor.

All of Adonis' movements seemed so calculated to represent a certain ceiling of power that he couldn't surpass. Rey was impressed by such sophistication… such intricate level of detail.

Adonis had really mastered the craft.

'But why? Why is he going to such lengths?'

Rey couldn't comprehend it. 'Shouldn't he be trying a bit more so he can get the attention of Jet and Lux?'

Surely, if he was playing this 'fanboy' card, and pretending to have been heavily inspired by Jet… then shouldn't he be showing a lot more power?

'At the very least, he must already have an idea of what Jet accomplished. I can't think of any other reason why he would choose this route if he had no idea how popular Jet and Lux are, and why they are so famous right now.'

Their power was phenomenal—out of this world.

Compared to that, Adonis was displaying the strength of an unpolished gem—someone who barely made the cut of a Heroic Rank Adventurer.

'Well… I hope you know what you're doing, man.' Rey had no intentions to rain on Adonis' parade, so he decided to just watch and observe in silence.

'Britta seems impressed, and I guess he really embodies that Adventurer spirit.'

In contrast, Esme seemed bored of the whole thing.

It looked like she just wanted to use a Skill and kill the Monster, instantly getting rid of the problem for everyone.

Well, she couldn't.

'Looks like the fight is coming to a close, though.' Rey felt a tinge of relief as he saw Adonis charging towards the stationary Monster.

One of the requirements for using the Skill [Grand Eye Blast] was to be stationary. The rewards were worth it, though, as it allowed the user to shoot out blasts from any ocular organ of the body.
