An Extra’s POV

'Ahh, finally! We finally got everything sorted out!'

The evening clouds had already begun appearing over the city as Rey and Esme left the Adventurers Guild building.

The wind was soft, carrying a certain chill about it to prepare the denizens of the City for the night that was fast approaching.

Rey took in the air and smiled, his mask as Jet still intact. Beside him was Esme—or rather, Lux. He would have long discarded his disguise if it was just her with him.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.

After all, behind him was a mob of Adventurers who were simply gawking at the two legends who were nothing short of superstars in the eyes of every single person who witnessed their grand return.

Merely judging by how they were gushing over him and Esme, Rey was certain that many were dying to get his autograph or even have a word with him.

'Some are probably wishing I was in their Party…' His thoughts trailed as he fought to hide his wry smile.

However, none of them approached him.

Perhaps they were scared of him, or maybe this was the least amount of courtesy they could offer him after his long and tiring Heroic Rank Test.

Well… not that it lasted very long, in all honesty.

'Well, I'm glad they're keeping their distance. I really have to lodge in the inn and return to the Royal Estate so I can bring everyone here.'

Rey was still pretty early, so he didn't consider himself behind schedule, but he was the type to ensure he had extra time to himself so he wasn't tardy.

'I have my reputation as Ralyks on the line, after all.'

Besides, this would be the first time in a few days since he interacted with his classmates as Ralyks. He had to make it perfect.
