"That's nonsense! I'm not!"
The words tumbled out of his mouth, and he reacted like a cat whose tail had just been stepped on.
Lu Xiao's smile widened. "If you say so. What are you getting so worked up about? I didn't get angry even after what you said to me, so what are you so upset about? The reason you won't tell me your name... is it because it's ugly and you don't want people to say it?"
"Of course not!" The reflexive denial robbed the Beastman of his earlier bluster, leaving him looking a little flustered. "My name is Kenwayt. I'm a Lieutenant. I was diagnosed as S-Class not long after I enlisted."
His voice trailed off toward the end.
"That's very impressive. You're only nineteen and already a Lieutenant. With time, you're bound to have a great career."
Kenwayt, who had been bracing himself for Lu Xiao's ridicule, jerked his head up to look at her, only to see the young female's face was still graced with a smile.
