An Extra’s POV

[Moments Earlier]

'Well, I never thought this would happen so soon, but I suppose life has many surprises.'

That was Rey's initial thought when he observed certain individuals in the Royal Council Hall. He had been observing the additional security, even seeing General Lucy present in the hall.

'The last time I saw her was right before the Dark Gathering…' As always, her face was stern and her expression unchanging.

Rey thought it was a little funny because they both had eyepatches.

'I could get some tips from her…'

It was while he was having these thoughts that he sensed a different kind of resonance from a few members of the security personnel within the room.

Since the nobles brought their own security officers to keep them safe, it wasn't a surprise to see the massive hall chock full of guards—private and public.

Among these were four individuals in particular who were impossible to ignore. Not only were they positioned very close to each other, also adorned with luxurious Enchanted Items, but they also had their faces covered in some way.

One was a warrior, so he had a helmet atop his head. One was a Mage, and so a hood obscured their facade. The third seemed to be some kind of assassin, and he simply had a partial mask—one made of bandage-like clothes—cover the lower portion of his face.

As for the fourth, he seemed like the leader, and he was dressed in quite the spectacular fashion—a dark trench coat, with layers of gold decorating it in many areas. He also had a full mask that covered his face.

What intrigued Rey about these four wasn't particularly their outfits, but the 'vibe' he got from them. After he awakened, his senses improved drastically. Even without focusing on Light or Dark Mode, he could still perceive many things that he previously wouldn't.

And so, in order to justify his interest in the four, he used his Perfect Divine Appraisal.

… That was when he saw the key words 'Otherworlder'.
