Wait
This did not come as a surprise to Rise, but the same could not be said to others. They thought and even the staff outside Kamille would take the leadership position, and so they were stunned after hearing this.
"G-Guild Leader," someone from the Union, an A-rank Esper, was first to react. He called with his shaky voice, nervous because of Kamille's initiating presence.
"This..." He trailed off, "isn't right..." Perhaps, even he was not sure about what he was saying.
Before he or the others could say anything, before even Kamille responded, an amused laugh suddenly rang out. The attention quickly shifted to the voice's owner.
Rise standing beside Kamille had already put on his mischievous smile but was filled with unconcealed contempt.
"What isn't right?" He raised a brow and looked at the Union member. He had an impression of this guy, but not much. Rise did not intend to ponder his identity.
