An Extra’s POV

780 Break Time

~DING!~

The first class ended after about an hour, and a long break was announced for the students.

Once the digital bell rang, the Instructor excused herself—stealing one final glance at R'ai, and also at Luc'ia—before exiting the classroom.

The reason Kar'eena looked at the latter as well was because she asked a lot of intelligent questions, and they both entered a small debate. The winner was, of course, Kar'eena, but that didn't prevent her from looking at Luc'ia with curious eyes.

Both of the new students were exceptional—she had been briefed on that much—but she never expected an incident to occur on just their first day.

'They show a lot of promise.' Was her fleeting thought before leaving the classroom, and letting the overexcited students enjoy their break.

Needless to say, there was a lot of noise the moment she stepped out.

*************

"R'ai, that was awesome!"

"For real, man! I really didn't think you'd be able to answer that. Even I don't think I could have given such a fluid answer like you did… and I was paying full attention."

"Sure you were… pfft!"

"H-hey!"

"But, damn… Luc'ia, you were amazing as well."

"Right? Why would you get into a debate with the Instructor? I mean… you made a lot of convincing points, but… I mean, Instructors obviously know more than us."

"Did you formally learn Magic before coming here? You really blew me away with everything you were saying."

"I felt the same! Honestly, the both of you are INCREDIBLE!"

Once break started, the majority of students in the classroom flocked around Rey and Lucielle, bombarding them with words of praise and compliments.

They had innocent eyes that brimmed with energy—some of them more than the others. A lot of them were star-struck, which was weird considering both Rey and Lucielle were the newbies of the class.

Of course, not all students acted so excessively.

In fact, a few students didn't even bother with both of them and simply enjoyed their break by forming their own small group or just occupying their space in the class.
