We ended up in three against one duel. Well, some of them were still reluctant in doing this, I didn't say it was the bald one, okay? Actually, I couldn't see the expression of the armored girl and the old man didn't show any expression. We stood around five meters apart.
"Since you have an advantage in numbers, I better focus on defense. Come at me when you're ready. We're going to stop once the result is clear, agree?"
The three nodded their heads. Good, I could use some exercises to relax my stiff back from sitting too long.
"Flame spear!"
The old man used magic from the back while the bald man closed in just ahead of the spell. Such nice timing! The armor girl stayed in the middle between me and the old man, nice positioning! Time to mess them up a bit. Man, I couldn't stop smiling.
"Hey baldy, aren't you curious how she looks under that armor?"
"Of course!"
The bald man just turned his body to look at the armor but because of the unfortunate timing, what he saw wasn't the armor girl but the fire bolt that came behind him.
*Bang*
Direct hit! I dashed toward the girl who was still on guard and readied to intercept my advance. How should I deal with her? Oh? Did I sense some sloth? Good. While she kept her shield up, I closed in and whispered to her.
“Miss, I’ll tell you my little secret; this space has the most comfortable bed I have ever laid on and it was in front of you right now. How about taking a nap?”
I asked Room to put my bed in front of her. The girl just fell into the bed without any resistance and fell asleep. Okay, that was easier than expected. This girl was really lazy. Oops, not the time to be amused. The bald man ran toward me with a red face, which I didn’t know was it because of the fire bolt or his anger, but I better ran toward the old man who somehow prepared dozens of those fire spears at once. This space had no mana, right? How did you conjure so many spells like that?!
“Hey, old man! Where did you get all those mana from?! Is that the standard of people here?!”
“Ha ha. You ask something funny boy. I won’t be an apostle of Ifrit, if I can’t do this much, y’know? Now! Pierce and burn!”
“Eat the rage of Black Flame Apostle! Argh!!”
This was bad. The spears were homing in toward me from my front and a bald man cladded in black flame came in from my back. Looked like it was time to dance~
“Hey me, it’s time to show these guys who is the boss here!”
I smiled from ear to ear while others shook from the sudden release of my aura. I really didn’t know when I developed this aura, usually anomalies have them not human like me. This aura and my whisper really helped promote me to the top of my career. Well, that wasn’t important now since I was on infinite vacation in a different world!

When the fight started and everyone focused on that with interest, White was reading a strange device that looked like a card but it showed him the hologram screen while smiling. This was given to him awhile ago, when he summoned that man from another world.
The man was covered in blood and mucus which White cleaned off right away because of disgust, but to his surprise the man wasn’t wounded. ‘Sorry, I’m just a little dirty from doing my job’ the man said with a smile. The man handed his card to White as an introduction.
Personnel Report
Affiliate: ACD (Anomalies Control Department)
Position: Director
Codename: The Devil
Ability:
Devil’s Whisper - Users could induce the desires of all beings with their voice. The effect was entirely dependent on the user’s intelligence, but evaluating this ability based on the current user gave the highest result in all ability users we had ever employed. It didn’t matter if the targets were able to understand the users or not, as long as their voices could be heard this ability could be used.
The Playground - Users unleashed the oppressive aura within a 50 meters radius. Any targets within the area would have their desires amplified and their mind read by the users. But in order to keep this aura up, the user must always have a smile on his face.
Info: The man with short black hair and dull black eyes. He didn’t have any remarkable features except the expressionless face, he called it ‘Mask’ which he had on when he was working. He was 185 centimeters in height and 75 kilograms in weight. One of his subordinates told us ‘He is capable and efficient. While he doesn’t show much emotions to humans, Everyone feels safe when working together with him in any operation.’, surprisingly a well beloved boss. In our evaluation, he was most suitable for anomalies suppression missions. He was currently our best performing employee with the record of lowest casualty rate for the missions he was in charge of.
Notice: This personnel was the only survivor from the ‘Anomalies Festival’ incident. When he was found he was around ten years old and he was playing with many anomalies in the area. The witness who managed to break through the swarm of anomalies to reach the child, testified that the child was unharmed and claimed that he was just playing with his friends. After negotiating with the child to stop playing and help bring anomalies home, the scene of various anomalies walking in line back to the facilities was seen by many workers. And we employed the child to look after anomalies as requested.
WARNING: DO NOT INTERRUPT HIS TALK WITH ANY ANOMALIES!! This would cause the anomalies to go on rampage until he was back to calm it down. Also, he might look calm and indifferent, but he had a really high tendency to pull a prank on anyone when he was free. The latest victim was a fellow director from another department who was tricked to look after his dog but it turned out to be a middle grade anomaly who agreed to help him.
