"Who exactly are you?!"
Shinki was the first to speak coldly.
His indifferent eyes shifted abruptly, landing on Qin Yu's right hand.
"You're a Konoha ninja? A genin?"
As a ninja, and one from a rival village at that, Shinki could tell a ninja's rank at a glance from their forehead protector.
However, before this middle-aged man who had appeared silently behind them like a ghost, it was clearly hard for them to believe that he was a mere genin.
"You mean this?"
Qin Yu glanced arrogantly at the forehead protector in his hand.
"So what if I'm a genin? Is there a problem with that?"
Qin Yu had obtained this genin forehead protector from Melta during their clash yesterday.
Though he had been mistaken for a genin, with Escanor's arrogant nature, he obviously would not care about it.
"You!"
Shinki was instantly at a loss for words.

Shinki's expression darkened at once before he roared
