"Haa… that\'s quite a long list." Rey muttered as he felt overwhelmed by their sheer number.

\'When I first arrived in the world and copied the Skills of my classmates, I had about seventy or so…\'

What he had now was a lot less than back then, or even a few moments ago, but the quality of these Skills could not be compared to the past.

They were all of superior quality at the moment.

For example, Skills such as [True Detection]—gotten from Phobio—mixed with [Homing] gave rise to [True Homing], a B-

Tier Skill.

\'It\'ll allow my attacks to automatically detect the weak spots of my enemies and charge towards it.\'

Since it was Passive, it didn\'t require much of an effort from him.

Adding that to his Support Skills which aided in his defense and overall well-being, Rey could see himself being untouchable by most.

\'But… I can\'t afford to get complacent.\'

So far, he had only fought a single Dragon, and that one was said to be average by the System.

If a more powerful Dragon Commander had come—perhaps even a group of them—things might not have ended so smoothly.

\'And what of even more powerful Dragons? I can\'t be sure yet, since I don\'t properly know about the hierarchy.\'

These were the thoughts that prevented him from growing conceited in his newfound power.

Rey knew full well that he could not become haughty after merely overwhelming humans.

\'I haven\'t met most of the other Races yet. Looking at Esme, who is a Half-Elf, it\'s safe to say that Elves are pretty strong in this world.\'

Their potential greatly dwarfed that of the humans.

\'If the Elves are also having trouble with the Dragons, it must mean they\'re a very big deal.\'

Rey couldn\'t afford to slack off.

\'And it\'s not just me…\' He remembered the arrangement he made with Conrad, Vida, and Adonis, about the Raid that would be happening soon.

\'I\'ll be meeting everyone later today as Ralyks. I\'m supposed to gauge their abilities.\'

Rey didn\'t know what impression they would have of him, but was determined to make them strong.

All of them.

\'Since they chose to remain in the Royal Capital, it means they\'re serious about stopping the Dragons\'

That meant they were worthy investments.

\'I can\'t be everywhere at once. Until I find a Skill that can make such a thing possible, it is better to have strong allies.\'

That was the major reason why he was so interested in the Raid.

\'I don\'t know if it\'s because they\'re humans, but I\'m not getting as much EXP as I used to ever since I crossed the 100 Level threshold.\'

It would be a lot more difficult Leveling Up, so he needed quick growers like Adonis and Alicia to become a lot more powerful.

\'That said, I shouldn\'t fall behind.\'

If he killed a lot of Monsters, there was no way he would remain stagnant as well.

\'My current Class is A-Tier, which means my limit is somewhere around 200.\'

No one in humanity\'s history had ever reached the limits of A-

Tier, so no one really knew what it was.

Even Lucielle was currently in Level 175; perhaps even higher now that she had returned to the battlefield.

Still, Rey assumed the Cap would be around Level 200.

\'That means I can still get twice as many Levels as I have now.\'

That was a satisfactory goal to march towards.

Finally, there was the issue of the current situation in the Criminal Underworld.

\'I\'m sure the Royal Council knows about what\'s going on—at least to an extent.\' Rey rubbed his chin as he thought to himself.

\'It\'s a shame that they let Evals Redart die like that, but they were able to squeeze relevant information from him at least…\' Rey thought back to the conversations he had with the Royal Council; mixed in with the topic of the Raid.

\'As expected, Adonis is also in on everything. They probably won\'t make any move without consulting him as well.\'

If it was anyone else, then Rey might have been wary of them having so much power, but for some reason… he had faith in Adonis.

\'I trust he\'s doing this for the benefit of everyone in the class.\'

That was just the kind of person Adonis was.

\'Well… there\'s also the possibility that he\'s hiding his true self—

like with Belle, or even myself—but I just don\'t see it.\'

In the end, whether it was for logical reasons or purely emotional ones, Rey couldn\'t help but see the guy in a positive light.

\'And now, it\'s time to set all those thoughts aside…\'

The reason for Rey\'s passing thought was simple, as he even halted his flight and looked below him.

His mask hid the smile radiating from his face as his crimson eyes gazed down.

A few thousand feet beneath him was the place he was heading to.

"Looks like I\'ve arrived."

Thanks for reading!

Sorry for the short chapter, and it being mostly Rey\'s internal monologue.
