*Omniscient POV*

"His wounds must have been very deep, to the point that an HP potion wasn't enough to cover the damage." The man shook his head as he imagined how bad the wounds must have been before this day.

Another nodded and said, "You're right. From that guy named Thousand Sabers onwards, all the participants have a disfigured face and a toothless grin."

"War is brutal" Many trembled with fear, grateful to have ended up with so few injuries.

Similar conversations were heard in the army, but all agreed that the heroes on stage did a great deed worth remembering.

Even if they won't remember their faces later.

*Emir's POV*

It feels good to make time while I move my body a bit. After all, I'm someone who can't be at ease if I don't have something to do.

After the next group headed to the stage, I sat on the armchair waiting for the goons on duty to show up, but... this time they didn't show up.

'That's strange.'

I more calmly assessed the room only to realize that there were 10 people left in the place, counting me.

Emir: "..."

'I'm in the top 10! My Holy God Solus!'

I was looking up at the ceiling when suddenly the clerk entered.

"Congratulations to everyone here; you are already among the top ten war heroes." The clerk smiled, "From now on, you will be called up one by one and will be introduced by a renowned general, someone with a future as bright as yours."

Saying this, the clerk steps aside and lets the person behind him enter.

He is a tall man with light brown eyes, a light beard, and black hair. He possesses an aura that makes you think that he has a clear objective and, therefore, has no interest in love relationships. Of course, I know this guy.

"I am General Hernan, and I will be the one to introduce the Top Ten. I was present during the war and witnessed many of your achievements. I know your deeds, so I will make sure your name is recognized throughout the length and breadth of the kingdom," He said in a solemn tone.

Almost all those who were in the room said something about it and tried to get General Hernan on their side. That way their presentations could be more extravagant, not to say exaggerated.

Though, of course, we were not all like that. Myself and three other men greeted him in a casual manner, hinting that we need not resort to such gimmicks.Discover new chapters at novelhall.comir: "..."

When our gazes met, Hernan smiled and approached me.

'As expected of the employee... Not me, not me, not me, not me.'

As Red Storm left, I continued with my voodoo magic.

"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. You must be exhausted now. That's why you didn't raise your hand against Red Storm!" With a villain's smile, he said, "I, Winged Sword, will avenge everyone-... Gufuh! Hey! fight like a-... Aghack! Stop-... Fuguh!"

Once he fell to the floor, the clerk entered the room.

Employee: "Winged Sword, please follow me."

Employee: "..."

As the clerk dragged the unconscious Winged sword, I initiated the shamanic magic again.

'Not me, not me, not me, not me.'

And so time passed until the number of people in the room decreased to three.

'Haa, I have complex feelings about this.'

While I achieved my goal and prevented that imposing general from taking revenge with my presentation, I now find myself in an equally problematic situation.

'I'm in the top 3, damn it! My head will have a juicy bounty on it in the enemy kingdom! Ahh, I knew this alternate identity would have had its days numbered by now. After all, I tried to assassinate the Samael Entrial for crying out loud! Just how big were my balls at that moment?!'

"Dagger Assassin, please follow me!"

'No, God! please, no!! Noooo!!! There are only two of us left! I don't want to! I don't want to! But... But I'm the Golden Archer... I must keep my gaze serious and cold until the end.'

"Haa... I won't be like those fools who tried to forcefully get in your way." The last participant came forward and said, "I am Dragonlance. Could you tell me your name?"

Since Dragonlance was so cordial, I humbly introduce myself.

"I am the Golden Archer."

"Boss! Don't you want me to give you a massage?"

Emir: "..."

"Very well" I nodded.

Once the clerk took my masseuse off my shoulders, I couldn't help but bring my hands to my face.

'F********ck! I don't want to be in first place! You already knew about this, didn't you? Yes! I mean you, Commander Cael! Ahh, I curse the day that stupid elf tried to murder Delia. If it wasn't for him, I would have run like hell from that stupid war. But no! Me and my stupid revenge! If I could go back in time, I'd punch that elf in the balls until he was dead!'

I was raving when the clerk entered the room.

"Golden Archer, please follow me!"

'Haa... There's no other way, I'll have to go up to the stage.'

I positioned the pulley bow and a quiver with arrows on my back and then followed the clerk. The hallway was lit with glowing stones, and the more I walked down it, the more I could hear the clamor outside.

"Go up this staircase and make your way to the Admiral General; he will take care of the rest."

"Understood."

Once I climbed the stairs, thousands of people were looking at me.
