"Why did you let them go, your Excellency?"
That's the question of the Stronghold Commander's aide shortly after guiding Daisuke and his three companions outside the office.
He was extremely curious. The commander behaved differently than how she always carried herself with oppressive prestige that even a fellow Rank 5 Transcendent wouldn't be so carefree around her.
"You haven't noticed his peculiarity. That boy. He's too young and can already subdue a peak Rank 4 Transcendent Space Pirate Leader." The Stronghold Commander answered.
However, that's not enough to clear the aide's doubt.
"Even if it's true that he came from a Sage World, he was only recruited. He couldn't be accorded the same prestige as someone who made a name for himself."
The Stronghold Commander smilingly shook her head, "So, that's how you see him, huh? Why don't we ask our friend here? Randolf. Tell us, how terrifying is he?"
