An Extra’s POV

The day that Adonis was confirmed to be missing, they found a letter in his room.

The thing seemed to have been written in a hurry, and it was addressed to everyone—his classmates, the Royal Council, and all who cared to see.

It was:

~I am deeply sorry it has to be this way, and that it took me so long to see, but I finally realize my mistakes.

I thought I could help everyone, and save this world, but my calculations were wrong. I made so many errors, and those miscalculations cost us so many lives.

I can see those mistakes now… and I know I have to rectify them.

Don't bother searching for me. You won't be able to find me. I now recognize that for me to truly save everyone—even those who have fallen—I need far more strength than I currently possess.

A journey beckons to me. It will be fraught with danger, but I shall overcome. I shall survive and return once again; a much more experienced and capable Hero.

Do not fear… Rey, Lucielle, everyone. You no longer need to worry about me or yourselves. Even though I will shoulder this responsibility alone, it will yield the best of results.

Wish me good fortune. I will save you all!~

"H-huh…?" Rey found the gears in his head turning as he read through the contents of the letter.

He was stunned by what he was reading—what appeared to be some sort of childish manifesto from Adonis.

"Is he stupid? How can he think to do this alone?"

Those were the first words that Rey uttered after seeing the letter's contents. It was a rhetorical question, considering how he was well aware of Adonis' intelligence.

'He's always been the most intuitive out of all of us.' Rey itched his head as he re-read the message on the paper in his hands.

'Even after seeing everything that went down, he really wants to go at it alone?'

In the end, he could not resonate with the Hero's reasoning. The most logical solution to the matter at hand would be for everyone to recoup their strength and figure out a way to ward off the inevitable external aggression to come.

"And what's this BS about us not worrying about him and ourselves? If an invasion happens now, what are we supposed to do?'
