An Extra’s POV

[The Next Day]

"Good morning, Esteemed Otherworlders. It's really good to see you all in good health."

Right now, Rey and his classmates were standing in the open fields of their training ground.

All twenty-eight of them were facing Grandmaster Conrad, who had Brutus and Lucielle to his right and left respectively.

Conrad had a calm smile on his face as his long hair danced with the wind.

As usual, he was adorned in expensive jewelry and pristine clothing. There was no one who would doubt that this man was royalty.

"I am grateful for you being accommodating and understanding. You've been subjected to a lot of restrictions, and I am deeply honored that you chose to be patient with us."

Truthfully, if it hadn't been for Adonis calming the students down, there would have been a lot more resistance to the actions of the Royal Council.

After Adam's demise, it was clear that something had changed in the power balance.

The desperation of the United Human Alliance began to show, while the students grew a lot more uneasy about their place in the Estate.

This ultimately led to a shift in the status quo.

Right now, it was clear that the United Human Alliance had more to lose from letting the students go, and they had to be a lot more active in their management of their champions.

That was why Conrad—Grandmaster that he was—was standing out in the open to address the Otherworlders.

"All of that changes today. We will cease the barriers, and we will even allow you to explore outside the Royal Estate as you please."

As Conrad said all this, the annoyed countenance of a lot of students began to change.

Smiles and little chuckles began to reveal themselves among the dreary ones.

It felt like a miracle.

As the students murmured among one another in excitement, one of them was also grinning like an idiot, though his thoughts were far from what he showed.

'What a farce…'

Rey was the one who had this thought, and for good reason.
