The Unrecorded Extra

"I suggest that we should take an early measure to prepare for the invaders!"

"I object to that! We are still not sure what that thing is. It could be someone doing a global-scale prank!"

"Are you serious?! A prank?! Who in this world is even capable of doing that?!"

"Since the appearance of magic 40 years ago, I'd say nothing is impossible."

"Didn't you guys hear that they are the demon, the creatures those demonic humans serve?"

One of the leaders stared at War Goddess hologram in the center of the room. His eyes were full of skepticism.

"Unless War Goddess Nuria could provide us with solid proof that they're the real demon, my answer will be no."

…

The fifth day of the Global Meeting resulted in nothing just like the previous days.

There were no significant changes between the faction that supported the creation of the Global Alliance and those who were not.

Most of those who supported the creation of the Alliance came from weaker countries that didn't have many great heroes serving under them.

On the other hand, the stronger countries such as the USA, England, Germany, and China were not convinced to create an alliance for several reasons: power, authority, pride, and so on, except for France and Japan who supported the idea.

With today's meeting being dismissed, all of the country leaders were returned to their safe houses facility provided by the Hero Association Omega, leaving only the 10 guild leaders together with their attendants and 3 top heroes alone inside the meeting room.

Without the country leaders attending the meeting room, they started another discussion about Enhanced business.

"What is your reason for not telling them the truth, Octagram Headmaster?"

"It is just like I said earlier. Even though I said they're the Demons, the proof of their existence is close to zero. I doubt those leaders will believe what they see even if I show them the demon corpse in the academy."

"At least we—"

Before Kyle could finish his words, he was cut off by Nuria.

"No matter how good and detail we explain it to them, they will look for another reason so they can deny the alliance creation."

The guild leaders went silent at Nuria's words. They knew exactly how stubborn those big countries were.

Although Hero Association and Wizard Circle were much stronger than them because the top heroes were tied to Hero Association rather than to their countries.

For the record, they were not forced to tie themselves to the Hero Association. In fact, they were the ones who tied themselves to the Hero Association. Because of that, the Hero Association and Wizard Circle were much stronger than them.

And since they established their base on Octagram Island, it had made Octagram the world's powerhouse, or central power.

Let's take the example of Thunder Emperor whose originally a citizen of the USA.

If his home country required his assistance, they needed to contact him through the Hero Association since Thunder Emperor had tied his bond with Hero Association Omega — serving Omega as their unit.

Even though the two powerhouses — Omega and Lunaria — were indeed powerful. They wanted the meeting and the premise of the Alliance to have a good bond between the countries, not one that was built because they forced them to agree.

A good fundamental was required to create a global-scale alliance!

As the silence was prolonged, Nuria took a moment to scan the surrounding.

Then as her gaze locked with a blue-eyed man in Victorian noble clothing, she smiled. The two stared at each other as though they were communicating with their eyes.

After a while, they nodded at each other.

"But, if you are really determined about this, I suggest looking for the elves and dwarves," said Nuria.

"Elves and dwarves?" the Obelisk Guildmaster, Noah, joined. "What do they have to do with this whole thing?"

Everyone looked at Noah, giving him a look as though it was saying 'Are you dumb?'.

"What? Why is everyone looking at me like that?" he said defensively.

Kyle sighed. Ignoring Noah, he looked at Nuria instead.

"Octagram Headmaster. You are aware that they are very seclusive. It's been 30 years since they arrived on Earth, but after the treaty had been agreed, they have been hiding themselves in this world and no one knows where they are right now."

At this point, Evelyn who had been quiet from the beginning of the meeting finally voiced her thought.

"Ah. The Wizard Circle might be able to contact the elves through the trace of magic they left. But, the dwarves' whereabouts are unknown."

Kyle nodded at Evelyn, thanking her. Then his gaze locked on Nuria again.

"Can we bring the elves only for this matter?"

Shifting on her chair, Nuria leaned forward, a sweet smile formed on her face.

"Sure. But, if you want to stomp on them — not giving them a chance to make a reason. It would be better if we gather all fantasy races in next week's meeting."

"What do you mean by all fantasy races? Aren't there only an elf and dwarf on Earth?"

Nuria smirked. "Are you sure?"

Kyle fell silent. Although his gaze was unbroken from looking at Nuria.

Noticing his silence, Nuria pulled her body and leaned on her chair.

"Well…"

Her voice trailed off. It was making everyone nervous and anticipating what would she say next. Their eyes locked on the particular hologram of a beautiful lady with flowing hair down to her waist.

"I guess it was only the Octagram heroes who knows about their existence."

Kyle sighed, releasing the nervousness that had built up. "Do you mind sharing it with everyone here, Octagram Headmaster?"

Nuria chuckled, hiding her mouth with her hand. 

"Why, of course. I'll do anything if it concerned the future of the young generation."

With that, Nuria told them about the fantasy races that lived on Earth with them.

Other than the elves and dwarves, there were vampires, beast people, fairies, gnomes, brownies, and halflings.

"Wow. Looks like our Earth has become a fantasy world…" Noah mumbled.

"You just realized that?" Haven Grande Guildmaster, Dylan, replied.

Kyle clapped his hand, his eyes scanned everyone in the meeting room and, once again, stopped at Nuria's hologram in the center.

"Okay, that's a lot of least evil races, I guess? I mean they are the races that are possible to negotiate with, right?"

Nuria nodded.

"Great… But, does anyone knows where they are?"

No answer.

Everyone in the room just gave each other a glance.

Kyle sighed, again and again, that he might be sick of doing so.

"I guess no one—"

"I know where they live."

Before Kyle could finish his words, someone cut him off. 

All of the eyes now landed on a particular person. He was dressed like a 19th-century nobleman. His blue eyes scanned all the faces that looked at them silently, judging him.

"I know where all of those races live in this world."
