An Extra’s POV

The next day came in no time, and the students who had been preparing their minds to go on the Dungeon Expedition were greeted with the most shocking news.

"The Dungeon Expedition has been put on an indefinite hiatus."

As Grandmaster Conrad said this, surprise overtook the expressions of all the students.

Once again, he was accompanied by both Brutus and Lucielle, and his attire was regal.

However, the forlorn expression he had was new.

No one had ever seen him this serious… or anxious before.

The same face was given by both Lucielle and Brutus.

It was a grave, disappointed face.

In contrast to this, however, the twenty-eight students had multifarious expressions on their faces.

Some were relieved that the Expedition was canceled—either due to the fear of going there, or the prospects of spending the day exploring the town.

Others—mostly the boys, and a few girls like Trisha—appeared disappointed to hear the news.

They were most likely looking forward to fighting real Monsters, so it was a major bummer to hear what Conrad was saying.

'Adonis doesn't look surprised. He must have already known…'

Rey had this thought as he stole a glance at the stoic Hero.

The rest of his classmates were buzzing with shock, so he joined them in it. However, Rey wasn't the slightest bit surprised.

The last ounces of his shock had been exhausted the previous day. This news was already expected, especially when he thought about it rationally.

'They suspect that a very dangerous monster is on the loose within the Dungeon, so it's currently not very safe for us.'

The reason why Brutus and Lucielle went to check out the Royal Dungeon the previous day was to make sure there would be no surprises waiting for the students.

And now, there was.
