An Extra’s POV

Thanks to the immensely harsh experience that the students went through in the Royal Dungeon, they were allowed to have a whole day to themselves.

No one expected a full-day break, but they sure were plenty satisfied when they heard that.

Most of the students went outside the Estate's walls, but not all of them could afford to do that.

For example, Adonis was very busy with the Royal Council regarding the aftermath of the Dark Gathering and the implications it would have on the Alliance.

Alicia called in sick, and so she was being treated by the Royal Physicians.

Apparently, she had suffered excessive mental stress and a lot of drain from overexerting herself.

It wasn't fatal or anything, but she required a lot of rest.

Everyone was prevented from visiting her—including the Otherworlders—as she needed proper rest and isolation for her to be able to recover.

The only living entity allowed by her side was her Familiar—Snow.

They couldn't get rid of the thing even if they tried.

Then, there was one last person who didn't leave for the Capital's wonders.

It was none other than Rey, and his excuse for doing so was simply due to wanting to sleep in after exerting himself too much the previous day.

It wasn't surprising, since Rey was the weakest out of all of them.

Even though their entire bodies ached, they were able to recover overnight by sleeping. However, Rey probably hadn't gotten enough sleep.

As a result, he had to rest more.

And so, with that arrangement… the Otherworlders began their day.
