An Extra’s POV

Rey was pissed.

No, that felt like an understatement compared to what he was feeling at the moment.

His friends and allies were all gone, and he couldn't do anything to save them. All his classmates were also caught up in it.

'Alicia too… DAMNIT!'

The rage swelling from within him felt like it could explode him from within.

He hated how he was feeling. He knew he was being extremely insensitive to Esme, who was most definitely still confused about the whole thing.

But… he couldn't stop mulling over everything.

'What was that, though? A Dungeon Trap?' Rey wondered to himself.

If that was the case, then it made a lot of sense. This would be the first time something of this scale had happened—since such traps usually only transported one person or a small group—but that didn't discount the possibility of a much bigger trap.

This was a Grand Calamity Class Dungeon, so something of this scale had to be expected.

Yet… Rey wasn't satisfied with that explanation.

If it was a trap, then that meant there was no rhyme and reason to its effects. The Dungeon just reacted to their presence and used one of its defense mechanisms.

Plain and simple. But…

'It can't be that simple!' Rey found something gnawing at his heart.

He was tempted to leave things as they were, instead focusing on saving everyone, but he couldn't ignore an explanation that was rising from within his depths.

'Adrien! Maybe he… no, not maybe. He has to be the one behind this!'

Everything that had happened thus far couldn't have just been coincidences. Rey had tried his best to consider how they could all be natural, but this was the last straw.

Perhaps he was seeking out patterns where there were none.
