An Extra’s POV

[The Next Day]

"Alright, students, you know the drill. It's time for your Practical Session."

Instructor Isra'il's two hands were formally placed behind him as he stood at the center of an empty Practice Hall, facing his fifteen students.

He had a stern look on his face, and for good reason. As Class A's Primary Instructor, he was in charge of the growth of these young ones, which meant he was to personally oversee their training—such as this one—in order to determine how much they had grown, or the measures of improvements they needed.

It was also pertinent for him to pluck out the inferior students and consider their demotion to a lower class.

All of this was his responsibility, and he was constantly determined to carry it out with utmost diligence. That said, he had no doubt that his students would show him yet another interesting match today.

'The only variables are the new students. I haven't seen them fight, so now is the best chance to do so…'

The footage of Entrance Exams weren't supposed to be released to the Instructors of the Academy, and he didn't have enough pull to check them out behind the scenes. The only things he was given to work with were Evaluations made from the Center.

'Well, I guess I'll see it with my own eyes…' His eyes focused on the boy with jet-black hair, and the girl with silvery white hair.

'Let's see how good you are.'

The moment Rey heard this, his mood was nearly soiled. He had expected some sort of one-on-one practical session, but it turned out things weren't going to be too straightforward after all.
