An Extra’s POV

The journey back upstairs was less awkward.

Eric and Adonis discussed what the Adventurers spoke up, taking turns to examine what was true, false, or exaggerated in the entire conversation.

Adonis personally didn't care too much for that, as he told Eric not to take the whole thing too seriously. They ended up talking to a few Adventurers and made some connections whole having fun.

That was all that mattered.

Eric couldn't help but agree with Adonis. They finally retuned to the room, and they found all the students on the bed, all of them unable to sleep.

They were already dressed casually and had undone their disguise.

Many would question the intelligence behind such a move, considering they could be spied upon when inside the room. However, there was no sign of Image-Capturing Magic or Technology around.

Adventurers enjoyed their privacy and freedom, and since they did some pretty private things in the inns they stayed at, establishment owners knew better than to install something that would intrude on their private business.

Such Magic was rare too, and incredibly expensive.

"You're all still awake? What's the matter?" Adonis looked around to observe the faces of his classmates.

"You all look gloomy."

It was no surprise that they were this way, but Alicia decided to explain, all while staying close to her pet rabbit, Snow.

"Well, we have a lot on our minds, you know?"

For one, they had to pass the Adventurer Test the next day if they wanted to be recognized as such. Despite being assured that it wouldn't be a big deal, most of the students couldn't help but look forward to it.

However, the major thing that that held people awake was quite obvious.

"Seems weird that we've been left here all alone without adult supervision." Alicia said with a slight smile.

It felt like going on a field trip without the school staff, or like traveling abroad without knowing anyone at all upon arrival.
