"Leo, you don't belong in this party!"

Suddenly, Leo, a shieldbearer, was told to leave the C-rank party [Assembly of Holy Swords].

His unflashy role, which simply involved drawing enemy attention and relentlessly enduring attacks, was deemed unnecessary by his party members.

"You invited me, and now you're discarding me just because I'm no longer useful? Don't mess with me!"

An embittered Leo. Just then, a middle-aged adventurer called out to him.

"Kicked out? Then come join us!"

"Huh?"

What sounded like a sarcastic offer to join a party. However, the party Leo joined rapidly achieved results and underwent explosive growth.

Three years later. S-rank party [Expotion]

Among the strongest party, which included a colorful cast of characters like a Hero, a Saintess, and a Villainess, Leo was there.

This is the story of Leo, who was kicked out of an adventurer party, and how he rose to become a member of an S-rank party.

Enjoy the tale of revenge, romance, and Leo's journey as a member of [Expotion]!
