An Extra’s POV

The Royal Dungeon Expedition!

It was supposed to happen four days ago, but after Adam's sudden death, the entire thing was canceled.

Everything went on lockdown, and no one in the Royal Council, or the entire Alliance as a whole, mentioned it after that.

… Until now.

"After giving it much thought, we have decided to proceed with the Royal Dungeon Expedition plan." Grandmaster Conrad's voice echoed in the air.

His words caused Rey to jerk back to reality, the latter's eyes blinking numerous times.

"Truthfully speaking, we need you all to advance in both power and experience, and training won't be enough."

Conrad took a short moment to exhale before continuing.

"That is why the Royal Dungeon Expedition is our best bet. There's no better place to gain experience than in a Dungeon."

Dungeons were crawling with Monsters who had a diverse set of abilities.

A lot of Floors—especially the topmost ones—had one set of Monsters per Floor, but the deeper one went, the more there tended to be a variety of Monsters occupying a single Floor.

Of course, it went without saying that the deeper Floors were far more challenging.

"I can see the look of apprehension on your faces, but you don't need to fret too much. Lucielle and Brutus will be accompanying, so you'll all be safe."

Those words were enough to assuage the concerns of many students, but they weren't completely bought over.

After all, after seeing one of the die, everyone was reminded of their own mortality.

… As well as the words Adam had said when he was still alive.

"I don't want to do this anymore." Someone finally snapped, and a voice echoed out to prove it.

Conrad paused as he glanced in the direction of this random student.

It must have taken a lot of bravery to utter those words.

However, the moment he did so… the brewing storm exploded.

"M-me too!"

"I think I'll just call it quits and fend off on my own."

"I don't care if you kick me out. I think it beats dying in some dangerous place."
