An Extra’s POV

'Our classmates? The ones who left the Royal Estate?!'

Rey had no idea where they were, and he frankly didn't even bother finding out. In all honesty, none of that mattered to him.

They were liabilities, and save for Noah—who he considered a friend—there was no value in looking out for any of them.

Rather than that, he focused on making sure the current roster of capable Otherworlder were as formidable as possible.

That way, he could cut his losses and take his chances with the winning team.

'But he means to tell me that he knows exactly what they've been up to?'

"Most of them are working closely with merchants and reputable agencies. With their Skills and basic combat training, they can pretty much handle all the bandits they have to fight to guard properties." Adrien explained.

Of course, there was still no way to verify what he was saying, but Rey was running out of reasons to believe Adrien could be lying.

He didn't even know why Adrien would lie.

"A few are already dead. It's a shame, but it's quite the cruel world that they found themselves in."

"Who killed them?" Rey found himself asking.

Adrien smiled as soon as Rey replied with that, and for a second, he said nothing.

However, his silence was short-lived.

"Monsters. They didn't stand a chance against powerful Monsters."

"Why would they just encounter Monsters?"

"They didn't understand the geography of this world. It's not difficult to imagine them going to a forest or region that had been deemed to be a Danger Zone."

Rey felt a tight feeling in his chest.

Adrien was right about a bunch of regions where Monsters spawned. Careless travelers or those who were ignorant of that fact could be attacked by them and meet cruel ends.

"As for your friend, Noah, he's currently an Adventurer in the Adventurer's City."
