Rank 2 & The Nature Of Slivers

The news that one man singled out the entire rank 1s of the Imperial Guard would've taken the entire capital by storm.

But the Admiral suppressed the news and prevented anyone else from gaining even any rumors of it.

Because he didn't believe a rank 1 could do it. Not just him, no one in the training hall thought so including the rank 3 officers and the soldiers themselves.

Still, everyone was impressed that Varian fought and won using the strength of a rank 1.

"Admiration is admiration, Imperial Guards can't be defeated by a guard." The Admiral said to the soldiers and decided to force Varian to reveal his true rank.

Then, the news would be that 'Just the rank 1 Imperial Guards managed to defeat a rank 3!'.

As a result, for now, not even Akira knew of this event. If she did, she'd have taken measures against Varian who's much more powerful than she originally thought.
