Chapter 157: Sometimes You Need to Scream in Their Faces to Wake Them up
I had to arrange the internal structure of my group and start selecting my team to enter that test with me.
I turned and entered the room of my team. I didn't imagine I would be faced with a very wide interior like I met inside. The room from outside looked simple, and I had doubts about any relation with the lower level to be able to accommodate my team, and the same for Aria's team.
However when I entered that room, my eyes were opened to something new. The space was wider than needed actually, with many long tables lined regularly parallel to each other.
I liked this place. Once I entered, all eyes were fixed on me. the talking, the loud laughs, and even the soft whispers, all stopped once I stepped in.
"Well, things got somehow complicated, however we now can begin discussing what we originally wanted to do here, which is the structure of our group. Shin, Rody, Elyo, and Gabri are ready to give me your recommendations.
However, the most essential things about our group will be listed now by me. These are the group foundations, and I won't change them no matter what. So if after hearing them you can't accept even one, then you can go on your own, no ill feelings.
The first rule is loyalty, and I don't ask from you to be loyal to me however to the group. Don't ever do anything that would damage my group. Do this and I will blacklist you forever.
The second thing is we are here not just teammates, or even friends, we are a family. Being part of my family means I look after you in your darkest lowest points in your life, and I expect you to do the same for me and for everyone else in our family.
The third rule is about helping each one of you to be an ace in his field. I know you are all veterans, elites, or whatever you want to call yourselves, however one of my goals is to turn you all into aces.
One that is enough to stand alone against the entire army, like I did back there at the forest battle. I don't want just good players, I want extraordinary players that no one has even one like them.
Away from these three, feel free to say whatever you have in your mind. I will listen to you all. Ah, send someone out there and bring my new doll to me, I don't know why she didn't follow me inside yet."
I sat down on a chair that was left empty for me, as one player went to get that butler of mine from outside at the same time Shin began to speak:
"Well, at first I must congratulate you for having your own butler, that's really a bold move especially when you chose the growth type. It would take some time to show its worth, however it's really worth the risk.
As for the butler, she will need some time to adapt, not much actually just a few hours and she will regain her normal functions and even her looks will return to normal.
Regarding the group, there are many different ranking systems used to organize any group or guild, however seeing you already determined the general layout of the group to be a leader followed by vice leaders, then members then it would be best if we used the Alchlan system."
I was listening carefully to him when he said everything logical and calm, unlike his usual irritating self, however he ended his words with a strange word that I didn't understand. I was about to ask him to explain more when Elyo interfered to speak with some aggression:
"This system is very old and nearly obsolete, I suggest we use more advanced and modern systems, like the Retolarik system."
Again, another unknown word was said in front of me. however it seemed everyone here was familiar with these words except me, so I chose to remain silent watching this ongoing debate between the two, and now the other two also joined in.
Three Vs one, that was the situation here. it seemed this Retolarik system was somehow acceptable to most of them, however Shin was refusing it desperately. I didn't know why, however at some point I had to intervene and stopped their ongoing meaningless debate.
"Calm down everyone, and can someone explain what these two systems even mean? Why do you prefer one over the other? That's how arguments should happen, we aren't foreigners, we are family now."
As I stood up, everyone here went quiet. I was sure what just happened outside of this room was heard and seen by them. they knew how stubborn I was, and also merciless in dealing with those who irritated me.
They gave up their argument and returned to their seats without saying more words. I observed the four returning to their places calmly at the same time my butler entered the room.
Diana was in a mess, as she was still with her vague absent look on her face. A zombie walking towards me, however I hoped Shin's words would be true and all this would become just a temporary phase, not permanent.
I wasn't in the mood to deal with this undead doll of mine right now, so I pointed to her, and to the player who was holding her arms and guiding her to sit a couple of seats away from me.
"Now, I want each person to speak individually and express his own thoughts free of any interruptions from anyone. After you all finish speaking your minds, I will decide which system will be used in my group.
Now, go ahead and start speaking, let's start with you, Elyo."
I sat down with faint anger over my face, I hated when people lose their control over themselves and start debating over personal views instead of thinking what was best for the whole team.
Screw this, they were all a bunch of kids playing a game, they never tasted the bitterness of real life and misery like I did.
