"What happened!? At the end of that duel, that's not normal, is it?!?

It was Cook and his platoon members who jumped into the command room.

"............... nothing.

"There's no reason why it's nothing! Everyone feels it!

Lancelot doesn't know what to say, he elbows on his desk, puts his face on and shuts up again. Cook and the others go into a waiting position as if to make a statement of intent if they don't go home without being briefed or brought to the wall.

"What the hell is this?

It was Wade who came in for a while. Of course, he is one of those who came to hear the truth of the matter.

"The requirements are probably with Assistant Wade… now wait for the command to answer.

look a little troubled by Guy's response and return the words,

"For once, you're a team leader and a peacekeeper, aren't you?

"You call that disrespectful? Masal is... he is a friend. At least we want to be that way with that little troubled guy.

Lancelot spins words on that word.

"I want to do the same. But in that fight, I was afraid and sympathetic to him.

I don't know what you're talking about. We all wait for Lancelot's next word,

"The first thing I felt was that Masaru was clearly stronger than me. That's what everyone would have thought if they had seen that fight... but it doesn't tie into fear. I was scared because I realized that he lived unrelated to killing and fighting… he wasn't trained as a warrior before his skill. That's why he'll be a brutal demon to his worst enemies when someone does something bad and breaks his heart. When I felt that way, I felt a fear I'd never felt before.

We will indulge in every word and reflect on Masaru's previous attitudes and behaviors.

"But he did say that the bandits slaughtered and killed him.

"But it looks like both the victim and the perpetrator were in front of you, sss.... Maybe when the villagers are attacked, they get desperate to resist and fight and manage to defeat the bandits or something, but sometimes they can't fight when it's over, sss.

"It's common for soldiers and knights to kill people with that hand and then get sick in the heart...

It's good to have a heart, but we're all surrounded by more questions.

"But it's that skill... even if you're not used to killing and fighting, it won't mean you're Zub's amateur.

"It's weird, indeed, not to have your body rigid in light avoidance or intimidation with the Commander's sword pointed at you.

Eldam realized one thing as the mystery grew.

"Commander, if you'll excuse me, what is your level?

I tilt my neck to see what they all said. Levels, skills, etc. are not inherently the lifeline of the person and are not hidden from others.

"Sounds like there's a reason... my level is 62. So? You figured something out?

"Ah!"

Got something. Everyone pays attention to Guy who speaks up in the wind. Eldam encouraged you to snort.

"Me and Eldam only look at Massal's status once when we make guild cards. I was distracted by skills and titles and high abilities at that time and didn't question it...

"Sure, Haz had a report that there was no title?

Guy solidified into Wade's words and Eldam said, "You idiot! ♪ And look at me ♪

"After that, keep going...

Lancelot encouraged me to go ahead, so now Eldam keeps the word. Guy has a head of "pissed off ssss".

"As I told you before, Massal's status was command-like. But there was only one different number… that's the level.

Everyone also tilts their heads, and level numbers are indicators of how much experience they have, something that has nothing to do with direct strength.

"When I say what you want to say, the level of the massal is 16. This is only about a slightly higher adult villager.

"Wait a minute! Sure, the level can only be a guide, but it can't be that 16 and 62 people have equal status! It must be you… you have the skills to mislead a status we don't know about!

Wade panicking at Eldam's words.

"But we also saw skills, sss... maybe not like that, sss.

"That's... yes! On purpose to deceive you both!

Always quiet and calm Wade's haste brings everyone back to calm in reverse.

"Tell me everything you see, this is an order!

I will only breathe into Lancelot's quiet intimidation and mention what I can remember about Massal's status.

"... you're pretty sure about this.

"Maybe the skills are pretty hollow. There are many things that I saw that were only close to an instant and that I didn't recognize.

"... I thought it was out of standard, but not that far...

Everyone starts to roar with their heads covered except Guy and Eldam.

"I think someone might need to put on surveillance on this...

No one answered no to Lancelot's words whining like that. And the next morning, I was thinking about Masaru leaving the city and it bothered me.
