The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 1257

Chapter 1257: Needle in a Haystack

"What in the world—"

Apparently, it wasn’t just Princess Kira and the rest of the team left behind to protect Jax and Killian who’d been surprised!

Because the moment those two figures moving at such unnatural speeds flashed past the group responsible for keeping Head Maid Gloria and Butler Gary safe while they thinned out the enemy however they could, Curtis couldn’t help but feel like he’d been played this entire time!

Then again, it’d practically been like that every second since they’d been called into the Marshal’s office, and somehow, it only kept getting worse as he and Eden learned just what kind of abilities these people were actually fighting with!

Gone were the days when they’d expected tendrils and spiritual constructs that usually limited people to close-contact or mid-range combat. Instead, they were currently surrounded by so many people with access to bloodline abilities when even the Empire’s most elite families could only dream of having their respective abilities manifest every other generation!

But here they were, freely learning about one ridiculous ability after another while watching their future monarchs gun straight toward the enemy lines, all while one Duke Leander stood there lamenting with literal tears streaming down his face because he wanted to go too!

These people...

Were they even still human?!

Technically, Curtis and Eden had already witnessed several members of this group fighting back in Zone Four, so they were deeply aware that there was a massive gap between their abilities, resources, and technological innovations compared to practically everyone else.

But seeing them move like this with no mechas in sight, relying on nothing more than their own bodies and an overwhelmingly powerful spiritual barrier?!

Just how much power had these people been hiding?!

Next to him, Eden apparently couldn’t hold back any longer.

"Marshal," she asked, her eyes still fixed on the direction where Luca and Xavier had disappeared, "by any chance, is Lord Luca also SS-rank?"

Curtis immediately looked toward his boss.

He remembered Luca Kyros’s earlier files well enough, and he’d long since accepted that the C-rank written on there had to be a complete load of bull. Given the way Luca could even give his own father a run for his money, it honestly wouldn’t be that surprising if he turned out to be SS-rank too!

However, to both his and Eden’s absolute surprise, Marshal Julian calmly answered without taking his eyes off the distance.

"Indeterminate."

"...Huh?"

"Indeterminate," Julian repeated. "That’s his current rank."

"..."

"..."

Curtis stared at him.

Eden stared at him.

What? What did that even mean?!

Well, apparently, it was the level where doing things with an emulated ability felt completely freeing.
