An Extra’s POV

There was deafening silence all around.

The students all looked at one another, each glance depicting multifaceted emotions.

Some students already had resolute expressions on their faces, while others seemed unsure about what choice to make.

Either way, it seemed that most people were waiting for who to step forward and leave first, hence the hesitation,

"The doors are open for those of you who wish to leave. Naturally, we wish you good fortune, but that is where our support ends."

Right now, the United Human Alliance had a bunch of its own problems to deal with. They couldn't afford to exert more energy on soldiers who did not wish to fight for them.

"Also, in case some of you are yet to make up your mind, there will be an Expedition for those who choose to remain behind. It will be compulsory, and it will also be dangerous."

The moment Conrad said this, the students who had been so hesitant to make their move soon began to blurt out their true intentions.

"T-then… I'll be leaving!" A random guy said, stepping forward from the bunch.

Before he had room to breathe, many other students blurred out the same thing.

Boys and girls stood out from the rest of their classmates—their numbers being an absurd chunk of the entire class.

Out of the twenty-eight, nineteen students were leaving.

Only Rey, Adonis, Belle, Billy, Trisha, Clark, Justin, Eric, and Alicia remained in place.

Everyone else seemed to have already made up their minds about what they would do.

They all wanted to leave.

'Even you too, huh, Noah…?' Rey smiled a little sadly as he looked at a crumpled white envelope in his hand.

It most likely contained a letter, and Noah had quickly given him while stepping forward.

'I wonder what kind of message he wrote there for me.'

Rey already knew he wouldn't be able to work with Noah forever. In fact, their separation was inevitable.

'Right now, I don't really need him in my Black Market dealings. Plus, I already decided not to have anything more to do with them.'
