The atmosphere at the party changed even though the commotion was gone. The reason why this turned out like this was Souta. His presence became a huge boulder to the hearts of the nobles in this place.
He was not afraid to fight any nobles that tried to harm him. He will even fight back brutally and schemed devilishly.
From time to time, the nobles would glance in Souta's direction. They were wary at him. Their guards against him were the highest.
Only Silvia and Leila were the nobles around Souta's group.
"I'm sorry Lady Silvia for doing this to your party." Souta apologized to Silvia. Her impression of him would become low if he didn't apologize after making a scene like that.
"No, it's okay. I don't care about trivial things like that." Silvia said as she slightly shook her head.
"Then, I'll go to the balcony to enjoy my drink," Souta said to Bryan, Silvia, and Leila. Since his presence was a bother here, he will go outside so that they could enjoy this party.
He's doing this for those three people. Bryan, Silvia, and Leila wouldn't be able to enjoy this party if everyone was watching Souta's movements.
"I'll go too," Lynn said.
"Okay." Souta smiled at her and he walked towards the direction of the balcony. Lynn followed him without making a noise.
"Sir Bryan, are they in a relationship?" Silvia asked Bryan while looking at Souta and Lynn's back.
"No." Bryan shook his head without hesitation.
"From the looks of it, I think everyone could guess that they are in a relationship," Silvia said.
"No, if you see our vice-commander you would understand it," Bryan replied to her. He picked a piece of meat and placed it inside his mouth.
Suddenly, someone asked him...
"What kind of person is your commander?"
"Father!" "Lord Franz!" Silvia and Leila were surprised. The duke was standing behind Bryan.
"Oh? I didn't sense your presence at all. You're a strong one dude. I want to fight you someday." Bryan exclaimed when he found that there was a person behind him.
"That's the duke, you know?" Leila turned pale when she heard Bryan's rude remarks.
Silvia held Bryan's head and said, "Please forgive us, father!"
"Haha, don't mind it. I just want to know what kind of person your commander?" Franz laughed and asked Bryan again.
"Strong. Limitless. Vicious. Smart." Bryan said these words one by one as he described Souta.
"I understand. Then, what do you mean by strong?" Franz nodded and asked.
"Souta is strong. He's the only person who always defeated me. I never saw anyone defeat him. In the institute, no one could defeat Souta. He defeated everyone in the institute." Bryan replied to him. "I want to catch up to him someday."
Silvia and Leila simply listened to his words.
"What about limitless?" Franz asked as he raised his eyebrows.
"Souta's strength is improving every day. There's not a time when his strength stopped increasing. I think that Souta is twenty times stronger when I first met him." Bryan explained to Franz.
"If your words are correct then that Souta is too weak a few months ago before the enrollment in the institute," Franz said. "Then, why do you think that he's a vicious person?"
"You don't want to see Souta's angry. It's terrifying. I don't like this side of him. He will kill anyone who got in his way. When we're doing an escort quest, Souta would always massacre everyone in the bandit's base." Bryan said with a serious expression. "In the institute, all the second-year students are afraid of him. He will brutally beat anyone knowing that the institute will heal them."
"I see... For people who don't experience life and death battle would have a hard time to get past the willingness to maimed people with hesitation." Franz then thanked Bryan. "Thank you, I understand a little bit of his personality based on your words."
Franz turned around and left under the gazes of the three people. 'So he's different than Yanagi. He's much more dangerous.' He thought.
From his information, Yanagi was a carefree person. She will do what she wanted. If she wanted to beat a person then she will beat a person. But Souta was different. He had ambition and Franz could see it just by Souta establishing a legion which Yanagi didn't do.
Souta was a schemer which makes him more dangerous than Yanagi.
...
"How is it?" Souta asked while holding the transmission talisman.
"We managed to destroy four legions of the nobles. Alice, Yujin, and Jeanne defeated the enemies B-rank. I think that they wouldn't be able to join the battle anymore." Lumilia's voice sounded through that talisman.
"I see... Then, what about Yanagi? I'm worried about her action." Souta asked. He still couldn't control Yanagi. He didn't even know if she would follow his instruction.
"For now, she's fine. She's fighting the B-rank party from the count's family." Lumilia replied to him.
"Then, it's good. The count's family is the strongest force among the seven noble families so it will greatly decrease our burden if she defeated those people." Souta said to him as his brows knitted together. Without Yanagi Shina, the Dark Oculus Legion wouldn't stand a chance in a head-on battle against the count's subordinates.
A party of B-rank adventurers who had a record of subduing twelve third evolution monsters was dangerous for them. If Yanagi would handle them then he didn't need to worry.
Legion War is a war among the adventurers at the stake of something they've agreed on. The Adventurers Guild was the one who handles this war among adventurers. They were also the ones who decided the winner of the war.
The winner will be decided by the legion who destroyed all of the opponent's base. The destruction must be one hundred percent. Or if the other legion annihilated all the members of the opponent's members.
In this case, Souta's opponents were under the wings of the noble families. They were a troublesome legion that has B-rank in each headquarters.
Souta bid farewell and he canceled the connection on his talisman.
"Do you think we could win?" Lynn asked him.
"Yeah, there's no doubt about it. But we will face some trouble before we could win." Souta replied to her. Now, that he cornered those nobles. It will get tricky this time.
There will be a time when he had to fight. He will use everything to destroy those nobles.
"Hmm..." Lynn stayed silent as she started at Souta's face.
Souta looked at the system. His level was 35 at this moment. He was getting close to level 40 so he should prepare himself when that happens.
He should raid those dungeons and ruins that will help him in the future. He also planned to get the skills that will truly help him in future battles.

This was his first time looking at his system ever since he met Raeshka in the Forest of Eternal Light. The changes surprised him a bit but he expected it. His skills mostly grew by one level because of all the training that he did in Saya's inner consciousness.
He had the [Blessing of the Great]. The effect of this blessing wasn't that great but Souta planned to stock it. It will become a great help to him if he increases its level by meeting those Great Lumb who gives this blessing.
'Then, let me check the quest.' Souta checked the quest interface.

There were a lot of quests. It's the quest that his legion members took. They couldn't finish it because of the Legion War today.
He was looking forward to the day they completed all these quests for him.
