An Extra’s POV

"Settle down in your respective seats. Over there." The Instructor pointed Rey and Lucielle in the direction of their seats, to which they nodded and obediently walked towards. Since the chairs and desks were arranged in five rows and four columns, there was sufficient space for Rey and Lucielle in the fourth and fifth column. Per the instruction of the Instructor, though, they ended up seated right beside each other.

It was a very convenient arrangement, and Rey found both himself and his partner sighing in relief as they ventured to their seats.

Once they settled in their respective chairs, the three-horned man proceeded to speak.

"Welcome to Class 1-A, which I already assume you've already been briefed about in your Orientation. We're the best among Stage 1 Students, which is why both the number of available seats and students here are the smallest."

Indeed, Rey and Lucielle already knew all of this.

The other Classes, from B–F, had a lot more students in their classrooms. They were also doing their very best to ascend to Class A—though such a venture was nigh impossible.

"Consider it a privilege you made it here. But, also remember not to be too conceited and get comfortable. We have weekly assessments that get to determine a student's compatibility with their present class. If you fall short in overall points, you'll be demoted. And if a student gets sufficient points in a lower class… they can take your place here. Hence, it's important not to underestimate anyone or feel invincible in your elevated status."

As the two heard this surprisingly insightful message from the Instructor, they nodded slowly and gave him all their attention.

"Now then… why don't we all introduce ourselves to the new students since they've been so courteous as to introduce themselves to us? I'll start first."

With a hand on his forehead, and one on his stomach, he bent slightly as he uttered his name.

"My name is Isra'il, a designated Dragon Commander and former war veteran. I chose education after serving the Empire for decades and paid my dues to the Emperor. I consider this a much more impactful and fulfilling occupation, which is why I am here now."

It was amazing how Isra'il wore his heart on his sleeve in his introduction.
