Getting promoted as a punishment?
Azzy's last comment irked the supreme commander and made him furrow his brows in displeasure for a couple of seconds before forcefully calming down himself and asking straightforwardly, "young man, do you have a problem with me? Your responses reek of disobedience. At first, I thought that it is because you are arrogant about your talent and being the descendant of a royal family but it appears that you don't like me, considering how you were quite respectful toward other members of the squad. So, tell me. What's your issue? Is it because I'm an elf? Or is it something else?"
As the supreme commander became straightforward with the matter, Azzy no longer hid his unpleasant feelings and expressed them directly to his face.
