Being alone with Kaiser-sama was mentally taxing, and being trapped in the dungeon made my head go blank. However, if I panicked here, both Kaiser-sama and I would be killed by monsters, so I desperately tried to calm my mind and somehow continue exploring the dungeon.

Fortunately, the monsters emerging were only slimes and goblins, so I felt relieved and my concentration wavered. However, because I neglected to focus and explore the dungeon without encountering high-ranked monsters, I ended up facing a creature with a rank C that I couldn’t possibly defeat in my current state.

And if I couldn’t defeat it, then Kaiser-sama, whose magic and martial skills weren’t particularly good according to his grades, certainly couldn’t.

So, I tried to get Kaiser-sama to flee alone, but for some reason, upon hearing that, Kaiser-sama stepped forward to shield me.

I reached out to forcibly pull him back, but before my hand could reach him, the Salamander was shredded into pieces by Kaiser-sama’s magic.

That alone was shocking enough, but what surprised me even more was that Kaiser-sama was using magic powerful enough to instantly tear apart a Salamander without an incantation.

From there, Kaiser-sama took the lead, slaughtering high-ranked monsters one after another in an instant.

Unable to bear it anymore as he casually began to slaughter even rank A monsters, I found myself asking Kaiser-sama, “Why did you hide your power until now?” before I even realized it.

In response, Kaiser-sama replied, “The opinions of others are worthless.”

Considering Kaiser-sama’s behavior so far, I had thought he wouldn’t give a proper answer, so I was surprised that he actually did. But at the same time, the content of his answer gripped my heart.

From his response, it was clear that Kaiser-sama didn’t trust anyone, including me.

I don’t know what happened in Kaiser-sama’s past, but even so, I thought that if he were properly recognized, he wouldn’t be called incompetent anymore. Without thinking, I asked him about it.

And then, Kaiser-sama replied, “Who exactly would believe such nonsense?” I tried to argue back, but I couldn’t find the words.

After all, I hadn’t even tried to see Kaiser-sama’s inner self, nor did I realize that his arrogant behavior might be an act.
