An Extra’s POV

The journey back was smooth sailing for the group.

Sure, they were attacked by one or two Monsters, but none of them were a challenge for the fully realized Six Star Adventurers.

They even managed to capture one A-Tier Monster, courtesy of Lux's Wind Magic. As expected, it was a lot easier for her to handle one Monster than over forty.

The beast couldn't even move under the Wind Constraints. It just helplessly remained still as the lady in white easily carried it with her winds as they exited the Dead Zone.

"With this A-Tier Monster, you should be able to organize the next Heroic Rank Test without needing to go to the Dead Zone." Jet finally broke the silence as he addressed Britta, who was gawking at the subjugated creature.

"A-ah, yes!"

Britta's clumsy response, and her flustered face was easy to read. Ever since she was saved by Jet, she had been acting rather strange.

Her face would turn red at certain instances, and she constantly felt her heart race anytime she heard his voice. Despite constantly being nervous to talk to Jet, for reasons she had no idea of, she also desired to talk to him a lot.

This paradoxical mix of emotions nearly caused steam to rise from her head as she covered her face with her hands.

"U-um… Are you really sure about giving the Guild this Monster?" After organizing her thoughts, Britta finally responded.

Before they left the forest, the group managed to harvest the Monster Corpses. They couldn't take all the parts, but they made sure to collect the most useful ones.

Thankfully, Jet had a Spatial Ring—same as Lux—so it they were able to lessen the load a little. Despite that, however, both Jet and Britta carried huge sacks that contained more Monster parts.

Lux was busy carrying the living A-Tier Monster, so no one really bothered her.

As for the leftover parts of the Monsters, the Adventurer Guild would announce their existence, and interested Adventurers popularly dubbed 'Scavengers' would venture out to retrieve them for themselves.

This wasn't the first time such a thing was happening—though it never occurred at such a big scale—so Britta knew just what to do.

Monsters, Britta reassured him. Scavengers were professionals who

current Britta wasn't as coldhearted as she was before this experience with Jet and Lux, so she indeed considered the safety of the Scavengers. However, considering how so many A-Tier Monsters were killed by them, other Monsters were
