An Extra’s POV

"DAMNIT!"

Adrien raised his voice in frustration as he returned to his tent, anger clearly visible on his face.

His clenched fists sought a place to release all the tension coursing through them, but he controlled himself despite the overwhelming sensation that coursed through him.

He couldn't afford to go rabid after everything that had just transpired.

"Huu... haaa..." Closing his eyes, he inhaled and exhaled multiple times until the fiery frustration in his heart receded.

Once he was satisfied, he went to his seat and calmed himself once more.

'To think I had to use [Wish Fulfillment] so early... damnit!'

The more he thought about it, the more he understood how necessary it was for him to resort to it, but that didn't make him the least bit happier about the outcome.

Taking in another series of breaths, he found his head clear.
