An Extra’s POV - Chapter 430

Chapter 430: Adventurer Registration [Pt 1]
Adonis slept in a very confused state that night.

He still had no idea what he could do to prevent whatever catastrophe that Jet and Lux planned on causing, but he certainly had no intention of leaving them be.

In the worst case, he would attempt to expose them for who they were in secret, and then catch them off guard by launching a surprise attack with his classmates.

‘I’m still not sure how it’ll go, but…’

The safest option would be to call Ralyks, but Adonis had no way to contact him.

‘I’m sure Sir Ralyks is as strong as a Dragon General… no, definitely stronger.’ Adonis narrowed his eyes as he felt his brows crease.

He didn’t see Ralyks winning against a Dragon Lord, but he also didn’t expect a Dragon Lord to disguise themselves as Adventurers.

It was even a big stretch to say that they were Dragon Generals, but that still existed in the realm of possibility.

‘In any case, I can’t hesitate on this matter.’ Adonis decided to himself in resolve.

After all, even if he was unsure of most of the details about the duo, he was guaranteed one thing.

‘They are the enemy!’

[The Next Day]

The group decided to take turns going to the Adventurers Guild in an attempt not to be seen as a Party by Adventurers.

Their goal was to be recruited into separate Parties, so it would be problematic if the Adventurers already associated everyone as a unit.

As such, each individual had to proceed to the Guild, take their Adventurers Test, and come back out. It was that simple.

‘That’s why I chose the Inn closest to the Guild.’ Adonis smiled to himself.

In the previous timeline, after the Massacre, he and his friends remained in the City for a few weeks. It was then that Adonis was able to learn most of what he knew about Adventurers and Adventuring.

‘It’s also why the plan is this way.’

Each student, with Adonis as the exception, would opt to take Tests within the 3-5 Star range, with Adonis taking the 6 Star Test.

Of course, just based on their level and capabilities, Adonis had no doubt that every single one of his classmates had long surpassed the criteria for becoming a Heroic Rank Adventurer. However, they weren’t here to show off.

‘If we have too big of a rank, it would cause more unnecessary chaos in the City. Plus, we probably won’t get any offers to join a Party since Adventurers would distance themselves from us.’

That would completely defeat the goal.

‘The only reason I’m taking a 6-Star Test is so I can pull my weight by joining the strongest Party.’

Everyone else could join any random Party they liked.

As Adonis was engrossed in thought, classmate after the other trailed inside or proceeded outside the room.

They all did this after breakfast, of course, so it wasn’t particularly a chore.

Once they were all done, it was finally his turn.

‘Alright! Let’s get this over with.’ Adonis smiled as he proceeded out of the room and walked quickly down the path that led to the biggest building in the city.

It didn’t take long before he arrived at his destination.

~CREAK~

As he opened the door and allowed the stifling air of the Reception to wash over him, he felt a bit of nostalgia.

He glanced to his far left and noticed the ‘Big Board’, with quite a few Adventurers already standing there and looking at the Quests presented there.

‘Pfft! Nothing has changed, I see…’

He allowed his nostalgia to guide him to the desk of a particularly fair woman. The tag on her chest read ‘Lyvia’.

‘That’s strange. I don’t see Burke…’ Adonis quite remembered the lady that occupied this spot from his past life.

She was quite popular among the Adventurers, considering how she had been working in the same position for over ten years.

“Sorry, do you know where Miss Burke went?” Adonis asked in the most polite tone he could muster at the fair lady.

She gave him a smile and slightly shook her head.

“Oh, she got promoted yesterday. She’s pretty much our boss now.”

“Ahh… I see.” Adonis said with a slight laugh. “Thank you fo—”

“I envy her, though. Don’t tell anyone I told you this, but I think the reason she was able to shoot up the ranks so quickly was due to the last customers she attended to.”

Adonis didn’t really want to continue the conversation, but he was too nice to shut the lady down—especially when she leaned forward and whispered words to him as if they were somehow conspirators.

“Who were these last customers?” He asked half-heartedly, not expecting anything special.

The next words that he heard instantly caused his eyes to widen.

“Jet and Lux, the new 6 Star Adventurers who took this City by storm.’

Over the course of one night, their names had become so widespread that they pretty much achieved celebrity status in such a short span of time.

“If only they had come to my desk that day…” Lyvia mumbled. “She was even getting lots of complaints before being promoted…”

Adonis filtered out all the unnecessary words that were bouncing around his ears, focusing on the crucial information he had just heard.

‘She got promoted thanks to them? That’s ridiculous. The Guild doesn’t function that way…’

The more likely reason was due to being qualified for a much higher position—having worked there for over ten years—though Adonis still suspected that her involvement with the two somehow prompted her to take the extra step.

‘She never took any promotion back then. Did they make her do it?’ Adonis wondered.

Perhaps they wanted someone in a higher position of power so they could have access to more information.

‘No… Dragons don’t work that way.’

They didn’t trust humans that much, and they certainly wouldn’t go after someone as ordinary as Burke. Her position wasn’t even that important.

‘I guess there’s only one way to find out.’ He inhaled deeply, finally resolving to silence the girl that kept rambling in front of him.

“Can I meet with her?”
