An Extra’s POV

Grandmaster Conrad Listrio stepped forward, introducing himself and the other members of the Council just as he began addressing the otherworlders.

He felt a genuine honor being in their presence, enough to prompt him to rise from his seat.

The remaining four Council Members mirrored his gesture, and as he spoke their names, they respectfully bowed their heads.

Watching from within the group, Rey couldn't help but notice the display of respect.

A notion crossed his mind, 'It seems they have a lot of respect for us…'

Yet, in the very next moment, he narrowed his eyes in suspicion, 'Or maybe, they're at a point where they desperately need our help.'

The very fact that humanity had banded together under one banner, and had to resort to Summoning beings from another world was already enough proof of that.

'Let's just see where this goes.'

Rey, just like the rest of his classmates, listened to Conrad as he began to explain the reason for their summoning.

Since Seraph never told them the details, they all paid rapt attention.

"The entire world is facing a terrible threat—the Dragon Emperor," Conrad announced solemnly.

In this world they had arrived in, there were many races existing alongside humans. Among those races, Dragons stood out as the most powerful.

"It all began a decade ago when they suddenly emerged and began to wreak havoc on the lands. They easily took over the Northern Continent and made it their haven." Conrad went on, his voice heavy with gloom as he spoke.

Consequently, the races that once occupied the Northern Continent—beastfolk, lizardmen, and a few other minor races—were all wiped out.

"The Northern Continent was the grandest and wealthiest when they began their invasion. Dragons are known to be incredibly possessive and greedy. A prosperous land is nothing but a target for them."

To Rey, it seemed odd that in the face of such danger, the humans continued to live in luxury.
