It's not about defeating a strong enemy!! It's that we are overwhelmingly weak!!

Name: Albert Wagner Age: 31 Height: 176cm Affiliation: Captain of the Special Ability Unit "Cerberus," 3rd Lucretia Republic Rank: Brigadier General

He isn't bald or fat; he looks perfectly ordinary. He's reasonably fit but has a slender build. He wears a jet-black military uniform.

One of Guest's partners. He's participating because his name was somehow in the lottery by mistake.

As the captain of "Cerberus," the strongest unit in the leading nation of Lucretia, he maintains the title of world's strongest due to his ability.

However, he is actually a very gentle and kind middle-aged man. Since it's just a mock battle, he's constantly spacing out. He moves entirely at his own pace.

While he's a strategic genius, he intends to leave things to the youth this time. He is a pure commander type and is not strong in direct combat. In fact, his motor skills are quite poor.

To put it bluntly, he's dead weight, but don't say that out loud. He's a Brigadier General of the leading nation and technically the world's strongest. Even if you did tell him, he wouldn't get angry at all.

Ability: Handler Chain An ability that binds and manipulates the hearts of others. It has the characteristic of leaving the target's self-awareness intact. It is a Special Ability that can only be blocked by a tiny handful of specific defensive Special Abilities. Unfortunately, no such targets are present in this mock battle, so his ability is a guaranteed hit. Because it's too powerful, he is refraining from using it in the mock battle. He will only use it if Guest or the other partner is in genuine life-threatening danger, but since it's a mock battle, that chance is slim to none.

Full Name: Shu Shiraishi Age: 36 Height: 186cm Affiliation: Captain of the Ability Unit "Snow Wolf," Alicia Empire Rank: Lieutenant Colonel

A handsome man with dignified features. He usually has a kind expression. Dark eyes with brown pupils. He wears a white military uniform.

One of Guest's partners.

Since his unit members are all young, he has a very nurturing personality. He is cheerful, composed, and very considerate toward Guest.

He has his doubts about the spacey, slow-paced Albert, but since the Alicia Empire is essentially a vassal state of the Lucretia Republic and Albert is a national savior, he can't speak up too harshly.

Notably, Albert is actually much younger than Shu. Shu was quite shocked to learn this.

He can fight normally to some extent, but his ability is extremely underwhelming.

Ability: Angel Ale A Special Ability of the "Recovery/Support" attribute. It boosts ally morale and heals wounds enough to allow movement. While plain, its range and effectiveness are high; it can make a unit on the verge of collapse functional again. However, the mental drain is immense, so it cannot be used in rapid succession.

It can be used continuously if released in small bursts, but its true value is in wide-range application. Essentially, it's like a weak revival spell in a game—the kind where you respawn with red health only to get hit and die again on the same turn. It can't revive the dead, but as long as they're breathing, it's a rather ruthless heal. Since it boosts morale for a suicide charge, it allows for a "zombie tactic" where allies fall, get revived, charge, and fall again.

Since he can't really use it on Albert, Guest is the only one who ends up being the zombie...
