An Extra’s POV

Chapter 562

Rey didn't know this, but after the calamity that befell the Capital, his classmates had a meeting.

It was just between the five of them—Adonis, Trisha, Belle, Justin, and Clark.

They discussed many things; including their powerlessness against the enemies and how they felt regarding that.

Adonis apologized for his gross error and his terribly flawed plan that cost the lives of two of their classmates and ended up cursing the third.

Of course, the rest did their best to dissuade him from blaming himself, but they could see how the guilt ate at him.

They could also guess how much guilt Rey had to be carrying.

Many were tempted to ask why his supposed clone didn't do more to help in the situation, or why Rey wasn't alerted of the problem, or why he didn't arrive sooner.

But, no one gave in to that temptation.

All they knew was this…

"It's our fault that Rey decided to keep his identity hidden."

A lot of things made sense now. The fact that, even though he was among the first to choose a Class and Skills, he ended up with such a meager sum, and also how that corroborated with how most people perceived him.

Karma was measured by the perception of others.

The mere fact that no one questioned how he got such a basic Skill and a poor Class meant they all—for the most part—didn't have good impressions of him.

They didn't like him; at least, not at first.

It wasn't like they made their position on him a secret either. Justin was among those who laughed at Rey when he showed his pathetic Class and Skills, and a few members of the group couldn't deny feeling envious when Rey was chosen alongside Alicia and Adonis to have the first pick.

All of these factors culminated into the distrusting nature that now formed within him.

In no way were they justifying his lies and deceit, but who was really in a position to talk?

They all had things to hide.

Belle had her secrets. Adonis had his own. Justin did as well. Clark and Trisha were no different.
