An Extra’s POV

Much to everyone's relief, no one was late to the rendezvous spot.

The last couple of people to arrive only did so three minutes before time was up, so there were no issues at all.

The students had shown just how responsible they could be in their adventures.

"I see this as a frequent thing."

"I saw a lot of things I want to check out tomorrow."

"Adonis, you better tell them how much we cooperated."

The students all had refreshed, excited expressions on their faces.

Truly, letting everyone go off on their own was the best choice Adonis could have made.

And it paid off tremendously.

The students returned to the Royal Estate without issues, and as they were gracefully greeted by the Royal Guards, they submitted their 'Pass' to Adonis, who was going to make sure they ended up where they were supposed to.

The students didn't doubt him, and they were also assured that they would be able to frequently leave anytime they wanted.

They just had to have a Royal Badge and a Pass to do so.

Every student got to keep their Badge, but their Pass was to be submitted once they got back to the Castle.

The rationale behind the latter being mandated was simply the Council's way of indirectly monitoring the Otherworlders that they summoned.

By granting Passes, they could know the total number of students who went out, and the time at which they did so.

This was necessary for order, and since the regulation wasn't really infringing on the livery of the students, no one complained.

Once the students arrived in their Living Quarters, they all went to shower.

All… without exception.

It was a fun day, but walking around for hours inevitably caused sweat to form all over the body.

After showering, a lot of the students chose remained in their rooms or the living room, discussing how they spent their time in length.

Only a few chose to go outside.
