The guards behind the battalion commander all stepped forward, glaring furiously at Mirai. The three captains were especially enraged. In their eyes, although that laser ninja Mirai was formidable, his strength was only around C-rank...

After all, the battalion commander was the highest-ranking officer here. Unless it was an emergency, they would seek his instructions for everything they did, as a display of respect.
