An Extra’s POV

The ambiance within the Royal Estate was sullen that evening.

As everyone stood in a straight line, all of them facing the man who had guided them thus far, an electrifying energy rushed within their hearts despite the solemn atmosphere.

A tint of orange dyed their faces thanks to reflections from the sky above them. All the students—some more than others—had glistening eyes. Even the two surviving members of the Royal Council were present, standing behind the Otherworlders as hey looked at a single man.

"Sir Ralyks… on behalf of everyone here, I'd like to thank you for everything you've done for us." Adonis stepped forward and bowed his head.

"THANK YOU, SIR RALYKS!" They all bowed in respect.

The man shrouded in darkness said nothing. He merely watched their display of respect in silence.

"The Royal Council also thanks you greatly." Vida and Conrad stepped forward with respectful smiles plastered on their faces.

"Not only did you help train the Alliance's greatest asset against the Dragons, but the resources that this Raid has contributed to the cause is more than we can imagine. It will definitely have a positive impact on the battle to come."

Every word they said was genuine. It was obvious that every single one who stood in that plain field had one thing or the other to be grateful to Ralyks for.

He saved them.

He made them stronger.

He made them richer.
