An Extra’s POV

"E-eh…?"

Lucielle appeared dumbfounded by Rey's question.

"The truth is… I also wanted to see you. Your knowledge and versatility in Magic is necessary for the mission I want to accomplish in the Dragon Empire. It would really be helpful if you came with me."

"F-for real…?"

Most people would shake in fear once they heard that they were being nominated to infiltrate the territory of the enemy, but not Lucielle.

Yes, she was trembling, but it wasn't out of fear at all.

The pink hues on her cheek, her wide eyes filled with both excitement and shock, and the loud squeals that burst from her mouth were enough to let anyone know that she felt the furthest thing from fear.

Instead, she was overjoyed. "For real." Rey said to her. "I take it that you're interested."

"Yes! Oh, yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!" She dashed to Rey, nearly pressing her voluptuous chest on him as she went for a hug. Thankfully for him, he was an expert at Spatial Magic, so he easily created sufficient distance between the two of them.

"Haaa… in any case, it's safe to say that you impressed me with your presentation today." He began, observing how Lucielle's bright beam became even more blinding.

"I also have a lot to learn regarding Magic, and so I look forward to that long talk that you proposed we have regarding Magic. I really want to share ideas with you and also pick your brains regarding some thoughts I have."

"Mmmmmmmm!!!" Lucielle did her best to be quiet, but the more she held it in, the redder her face got, and the louder her squeals became.

She even began fidgeting on the spot.

Rey ignored all of this, however, and proceeded with his talk.

"However, all of that will have to be postponed until after we return from the Academy."

"A-Academy…?"
