An Extra’s POV

"Now that they have left, it's time to begin the main announcement."

Conrad's voice boomed in the ears of the remaining nine students who remained in the open field.

Rey and his eight other classmates looked attentively at the man before them; waiting for what he desired to say.

Even though it seemed like he was paying rapt attention, Rey's thoughts had still not left the boy called Adrien Chase.

Flashes of the same scene—where he turned back and smiled at him—kept appearing in his head.

Frustration dug deep into his chest, but he could do nothing but remain in his position.

He could do nothing at all.

"… Having an Expedition into the Royal Dungeon very soon."

The words from Conrad woke him from his reverie.

'A-ah...!'

"I know most of you are anxious and worried. I don't blame you, considering what happened the last time." As Conrad said this, he appeared a little uncomfortable.

Valuable Knights and Mages had died, so it wasn't an easy thing for the United Human Alliance to suggest returning to the Dungeon.

However, it had to be done.

"The Ecosystem has been changed, and the Monsters inside are running rampant. If we don't take care of it soon, it could lead to a catastrophe."

Rey knew exactly what he was talking about, as he had read about it in more than one or two books since he began learning of this new world.

'Monster Evolution!'

When Monsters of a certain kind consumed other Monsters in other kinds—specifically their Monster Cores—they grew unnaturally stronger and developed special characteristics.

The level of change, and it's overall quality, depended on compatibility.

'I was considering checking out how far the Hobgoblins could go, but my plans were cut short by that Dragon…'

"It is possible for Monsters to go through Evolution if they consume Cores from other kinds of Monsters, which is why we are constantly grateful that the Dungeon Floors are designed in such a way that prevents Monsters from various Floors from mixing with one another."
