The Trakian Empire is the largest hegemonic nation on the continent. However, the steep increase in the empire's population resulted in a serious shortage of resources and land.

That's where the attention was drawn to the countless underground ruins of the Empire. It is a dream place, a treasure trove of treasures and resources, which can also be a place of migration for too many imperial subjects.

But there are strong human enemies in the ruins.

They are the inhabitants of a ruin known as the Demon Nation, and they have no teeth in a normal human being.

So for an underground ruin attack, an adventurer party is dispatched.

The powerful Adventurer Party had been enthusiastically greeted as heroes by the crowd with successive successful underground ruin attacks by exterminating the Demons.

Among them, one of the most powerful groups of adventurers in the empire is the Knights of St. Sophia.

It was Sophia the Virgin, Cleon the Virgin, and me, or Soron the Magic Swordsman, who formed the Knights.

Virgin Sophia is the leader of the Knights. It is the trump card of the party and the symbol of the union of the members. I graduated from magic school in the flying class, and I was the chief. She is a gifted girl who can use the power of healing and supermassive attack magic.

As a young Saint Knight, Cleon uses the Holy Sword and has a non-standard offensive power.

And I'm Solon the Magic Swordsman, the deputy commander. I have used it while switching swords and magic to do all of my offense, recovery, and support.

The Knights were originally a little adventurer party that we made with our magic school graduation, when we were classmates in magic school.

But in just a few years, our party succeeded successively in attacking difficult underground ruins. He also received the Knights' License from the Imperial Government and became an admirer of adventurers.

The number of cavaliers also increased to thirteen. Each of them is also the owner of the Empire's most powerful class of skills.

No, it's even said that being a member of the Knights is one of the highest honors for adventurers.

So everyone in every town knows my name, which is the deputy commander.

Though...

"I'm sorry, but you're in exile. Solon."

"............ to?

A long-sleeved young man slapped me on the shoulder in confusion. It's Cleon the Holy Knight.

This is the Knights headquarters in the imperial eastern harbour town.

If they call me to that conference room, somehow I'm holding back behind him with all ten Knights executives in place.

With the exception of the Virgin Sophia, all the executives of the honorable Knights of St. Sophia were gathered together.

I looked at them as one, and then I asked Cleon.

"Do you mean fired?

"That's the thing. dismiss the Deputy Commander and also deprive the members of their identity. Should I give you a reason?

"Heh, will you tell me? That's very kind of you, Holy Knight."

Cleon didn't answer my light-hearted mouth and lay his eyes down.

Alte, a fellow lady sage, advances in and out instead. A beautiful girl with dark hair and dark eyes, she had a reputation in Imperial Capital for being painted alongside the Virgin Sophia.

He is our junior at Imperial School of Magic and a brilliant graduate of school at the head.

That Alte word was pretty spicy.

"You know, Senior Solon is useless and that's why you decide why you're banished, right?

"Useless? I was always fighting with my sword, magically attacking, defending my allies with my shield, healing my people, right?

"That's what I can't do."

Arte said to throw it away.

"Surely you are a magic swordsman, so sword arms aren't bad either. Attack magic arms are there too. You can attack enemies with a shield, and you can use healing magic for a bit."

'Cause that was my role.

It was my strength to be able to use all the skills that Virgin Sophia and the Holy Knight Cleon could not take charge of in a balanced manner.

Both the Virgin and the Holy Knight are overwhelmingly capable, but their skills are skewed because of their specialization.

So where my people were just me, Sophia and Creon, the party wouldn't have been made if I wasn't all-purpose, the Magic Swordsman.

"But at the level of the Knights now, all of your skills are halfway through, aren't they? Instrumentally poor."

"I'm trying to improve my skills, too."

"Such an effort is futile. Attack magic is for me, not seniors. Because I, the wise man, can use much more powerful magic. The shield deserves someone with higher defenses. If you want to fight with a sword, Senior Cleon, the Holy Swordsman, is much more skilled. Recovery should be done by that substandard Virgin."

I'm trying to argue... I couldn't find any objections.

When I looked in the mirror in the corner of the room, there was a glimpse of me with a drawn grin.

Arte sighed.

"Seniors weren't able to do anything when fighting the high-ranking Demons even in the ruins the other day. Best you can do to protect yourself. Even a fraction of it didn't contribute to the fight, did it?

"... it could indeed be so"

"You have done nothing to help. You are a degraded version of one of us. There are as many better substitutes as there are. It's just annoying to have someone halfway around like you, and you're the deputy chief."

As Arte put it, the other executives were also nodding.

On their behalf, Cleon told them without expression.

"Your deportation was decided by all the executives."

"I was an executive too, wasn't I? I guess that means ignoring my opinion."

"From today on, you are not an executive. I don't need a foot job."

Where I don't know, it was all decided.

I'm not one of them anymore.

Nobody in the executive seems to be on my side.
