An Extra’s POV

"Alright, guys! Seems we're all set!"

Excitement could be seen on Adonis' face as he prepared to lead the students out of the Castle gates.

It felt like an odd thing, seeing Adonis so giddy. It was clearly his first time leaving, but it seemed to some perceptive eyes that he already knew what to look forward to in town.

"Since we're all dressed casually, they won't recognize us as special. The Council hasn't also made the Otherworlder Summon public yet."

The Mages, and everyone else, who were involved in it took an Oath of silence, so no one spoke of it outside the Royal Estate.

Even the guards situated within the Estate couldn't open their lips to anyone about it.

"If you ever get into trouble, just flash the Royal Badge. You all have them with you, right? So it should be fine…"

Once Adonis was done making these clarifications, and all seemed to be in order, everyone was pretty restless to leave.

"Alright then. Let's go!"

The students ventured out, the Hero at the forefront, with Billy and the Alpha students closer to the front than the back, and a certain student trailing almost behind the entire group.

That student was Rey.

'Okay. I've already told Noah the gist of matters. He's to conclude business for the day in the Black Market while I go to the Royal Dungeon.'

Rey wanted to make as many sales as possible. Since they could leave for town freely now, he knew more opportunities would come.

He just didn't like to leave a day unproductive.

'I have over a thousand Platinum Coins at my disposal right now…'

That was more than enough money for anyone.

But for Rey, it still wasn't enough.

He wanted more!

… Way more.

His gaze was met with Noah's, and they both nodded subtly at each other.
