An Extra’s POV

'The numbers are absurd by H'Trae standards, but…'

Rey couldn't help but feel incredibly underwhelmed when staring at Lucielle's Status Window. Not only were the numbers much lower than what he had been used to over time—a side-effect of being surrounded by powerful Elves, facing Dragons, and obsessing over his own strength—but even the scarcity of Skills troubled him.

'Humans have a limit of five Skills. Right now, she has two A-Tier, two B-Tier, and one C-Tier Skills. I know they're absurd by human standards here, but I honestly feel like they should be a lot more.' He almost sighed.

Her Additional Information still did her justice, regardless.

'I don't think I've seen any H'trae human with base Stats reaching a thousand. If I add all her Privileges and Items, then all her Stats exceed one thousand, and the Mana Point even exceeds two. That's impressive.'

Compared to Brutus, she was a considerable step higher—though he was a worthy contender for close second.

'I guess these aren't the two monoliths of the United Human Alliance for nothing.'

If he remembered correctly, Lucielle wasn't this strong when he first saw through her Stat Window. She had to have gotten much stronger over the course of time.

He liked that about her.

'Somehow, she's always better than she was before. It's fascinating, but also inspiring. Makes me want to try my best…'
