An Extra’s POV

'Why is Adonis pretending to be a fan? Was this part of the plan?'

Rey felt confused as he stared at the flustered expression of the Hero who stiffly stood before him.

'He's really good at acting, though. I feel so much respect and intimidation coming from that stare of his.'

It was nearly convincing to Rey, in all honesty.

All of this was a surprise to him. He only came to the Guild with Esme since they were told to come for their official recognition ceremony.

It was going to be hosted from the Guild and broadcast to the entire city.

Rey personally felt like all of it was unnecessary, since pretty much everyone already knew who Jet and Lux were, but he also understood how big of a deal it was for two new Heroic Rank Adventurers to pop out of nowhere.

… Especially with the emergence of the Grand Calamity Dungeon.

'I even heard some people trying to draw connections between our arrival and the Dungeon's appearance… as if that even makes sense.'

Their actions also made him feel ridiculous for suspecting Adrien being behind the Dungeon's appearance.

Paranoia was indeed a deadly thing.

'After studying a bit more about Dungeons to refresh my memory, I no longer think he made this one appear.' Rey laughed at himself.

He still suspected that Adrien was lurking around somewhere, though.

He just didn't know where and why.

"I'm flattered, but I really am not worth idolizing…" Rey spoke up, gazing into the distance as if he was speaking deep words.
