An Extra’s POV - Chapter 107

Chapter 107: The Charmer
Belle was a sociopath.

Ever since she was young, she always knew what was right and wrong, but she just never cared much for it.

What she truly wanted was what was right for her.

Still, she put on a mask that let everyone see the perfect person she knew how to be.

She made tons of friends, and she had very few enemies. The few that she had—those who were able to see past her facade—were dealt with promptly.

Of course, she had never killed anyone… but there was more than one way to ruin a person.

Belle’s experience in High School was similar.

However, despite her prim and proper behavior and her obvious appeal, she couldn’t get past two social walls that stood far taller than her.

Alicia and Adonis.

These two were the most popular in their class, as well as two of the most popular students in school.

It annoyed her.

It irked Belle to her core that she couldn’t triumph over them.

She could not beat Alicia in looks, and Adonis had a more authentic personality than she.

The standard grew even higher when they started dating, and ultimately broke up.

Everyone was talking about them!

No one… had her time any longer.

Of course she wasn’t hated, but she simply didn’t have the attention that she used to get.

But then, she was going to have her revenge.

Before she could properly carry out her plan on Earth, they were transported to this place.

And so, she chose to complete it all here.

… One step at a time.

“Haha! Now that wasn’t so hard, was it?” Belle grinned as she looked at Rey.

He was looking very similar to Alicia, as well as all her other classmates

“Everyone is now under my control. Except Adonis, of course. I can’t take that risk yet…”

Since Adonis had the Hero Class and had a much higher Level than she, Belle wasn’t confident in her ability to charm him.

Her A-Tier Skill [Grand Charm] allowed her to completely obtain the allegiance of any target of hers as long as they heard her voice or looked into her eyes—both as well—when she activated the Skill.

Using this Skill, she had managed to gain the allegiance of literally everyone in both Alpha and Beta Class.

Of course, she did so at intervals since using the Skill drained practically all of her Mana.

‘But now that I’ve Leveled Up, I can use it twice and still have a bit of Mana left.’

Both Rey and Alicia had been charmed with barely any time serving as an interval.

‘Leveling Up really has its perks…’ Belle’s smile grew wider.

“With everyone on my side now, I can finally ruin you two…”

She had intentionally gotten close to Adonis to figure out an opening, but so far there seemed to be nothing.

After seeing what happened to Adam, she knew she had to be extra careful.

Why in the world did Adam go to Adonis’ room to kill him? Belle still wasn’t sure.

That wasn’t her order.

Her Skill had a permanent mark on a person, as long as she maintained proximity with them every once in a while.

Since they all slept close to one another, shared the same living room, and now trained with each other, that meant she could control any of her classmates anytime she wanted.

Of course, they wouldn’t always have their wide grin and glowing eyes.

“I’ll use these pawns to frame Alicia and Adonis and make them scapegoats. Or, should I just make Alicia fight Adonis, leading to the both of them getting severely injured? Ahh… no, that won’t work.”

The problem with that plan was that it would potentially take one or both of the strongest members of their class off the board.

Belle wasn’t stupid. She knew how much this world needed Alicia and Adonis to save it.

‘They both have SS-Tier Skills. They’re our best chance at stopping the Dragons…’

Belle still wasn’t sure whether or not she wanted to remain in this world, but since she was living in it, she had to help out.

It wasn’t out of any selfless inclination, but simply a selfish desire to survive.

Nothing more… nothing less.

“Now, then… all three of us should walk together. We’ll draw too much attention if we’re just standing still like this.”

In response to this, Rey and Alicia moved beside her and they walked together

“Also remove those stupid grins from your faces. Act natural.”

The pink glows in their eyes dimmed out, and their expressions became fairly normal.

Rey’s natural expression was perfect, but there still seemed to be something artificial about Alicia’s expression.

It didn’t matter, though.

Everyone was under her command, anyway.

“I guess I’ll just have to wait for us to defeat the Dragons before I can properly deal with them. They’re too powerful to be compromised now.” Belle mumbled with slight frustration.

“Be grateful, Alicia. You and Adonis won’t have what’s coming to you. Why not thank me?”

“Thank… you.”

“I didn’t mean that literally, idiot. Honestly… these things…”

As Belle sighed and shook her head, she took her eyes off Alicia and cast her gaze to Rey.

“Why couldn’t they be as weak as you? I would have used them like the ragdolls they are…”

Rey’s expression remained the same since he was nothing but her puppet.

“Weaklings like you aren’t so bad, though.” Her smile widened as she poked Rey a few times on his cheek.

It seemed she found it cute, so she did a few times and giggled like a child.

“You make for the best toys.”

Belle kept enjoying herself as she and her two dolls entered their Living Quarters and parted ways in their respective rooms.

Of course, they weren’t going to forget what just happened to them, and they would simply remember what Belle wanted them to.

That was just how much influence she had on them.

“What the fuck..?!”

Rey collapsed on his bed as he stared at his ceiling in horror.

His face expressed profound confusion as he contemplated on the events that had just transpired.

… All that he witnessed.

“What the hell was that just now?”
