Unfortunately, I had been assigned to important materials such as arrows and mana stones, so I couldn't just release them all at once. The policy was to distribute only as much as necessary, so when the magicians used up the mana stones, they kept coming back and bothering me.

"You bastard, do you think you’ll be safe after doing this?!" the army magician said in a muffled voice. I just increased the strength of my grip to completely block him from speaking.

To be honest, acting like this towards an army magician, who would be ranked major at minimum, was tantamount to mutiny...

"Yes yes, of course I'll be okay. Did you think I wouldn't know if you tried to magically pull out supplies?”
