An Extra’s POV

Passing through a swirling distortion in space, the Otherworlders once again made it to the surface.

Their shabby appearances greeted the evening sky overhead, and as they all appears in the open field, they collapsed on the ground and allowed their bodies to embrace the grass.

"Haaaa!"

"Fresh air at last!"

"I'm gonna take a very nice shower!"

Words like these echoed from the lips of the sweaty and dirty students.

Despite groaning and grumbling, the smile on their faces was undeniable. They were all happy, and it wasn't difficult to tell why.

"We did it!"

"We reached the Tenth Floor!"

"I swear, I thought I was going to die!"

It wasn't easy, but they managed to achieve a milestone—and it was only in three days.

This celebration of theirs, however, was instsntly cut short by Ralyks' cold voice.

"I have important news for you all."

As he said this, all the Otherworlders looked in his direction with puzzlement.

Normally, this was the moment when he would say his farewells and depart. Yet, something about his tone and the contents of his words made the imminent issue seem a little grave.

"I won't be with you for your Raid tomorrow."

The moment Ralyks said this, eyes popped wide open. The Otherworlders had stunned expressions on their faces.

However, before they could utter a single word, he continued.

"I need to take care of some business for the Royal Council, so tomorrow will be completely booked."

The Otherworlders didn't know what was happening in the background—except for Adonis, of course.

As someone who associated with the Royal Council on a deeper level, Adonis was the only one who didn't depict any ounce of shock or surprise.

After all, he already knew something of the sort was coming.
