Chapter 139: 139: A Major Task
After half ten minutes of waiting. David finally appeared. He walked towards his desk and sat on it. He took a puff of some on a black pipe with a red flame pattern design before he turned his gaze at the bunch of young scouts with a profound gaze.
"Well, I know you guys wonder why I called you here, right?"
Of course, you fucker! What kind of question is that? Caleb couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Others, on the other hand, treat David with respect and dare not to think badly about David. One of the scouts raised his hand.
"Captain, let me guess. You will send us again a mission."
"That's right." A solemn expression appeared on David's eyes as he eyed each face in the room.
The scouts inexplicably gulp as they saw how serious David was. Various thoughts emerged from their mind. Is there a big event about to happen? Why is David so serious? Is he about to send them to do something dangerous?
However, even if the mission was dangerous. It is their job to perform them. Some were excited, some were anxious, but the majority wanted to prove themselves. After all, they had been training for a year. In their opinion, they are now ready to handle big tasks.
"Johan, what do you think the Captain wants us to do?"
Suddenly, Johan heard Rozho's voice beside him. He opened his eyes to look at the green-haired teenagers.
"I don't know. How would I know? It's useless to speculate." Caleb shook his head. Although he was also interested in the mission. Based on David's expression, they're about to make a big move that has a high stake. "Though I will take this opportunity to rack as many as contribution points I can."
Hearing this, Rozho couldn't help but nod. It was a really good opportunity to accumulate contribution points. After all, the price of the recipe of tier 8 of the hunter path wasn't any cheaper than the shadow path. In a year, he only has 1250... It was inconceivable how long it would take for him to gather enough. Still, he understood that the accumulation was low because they rarely did mission in that span of year.
Rozho stared at Johan, who closed his eyes again. In team seven, the only one he respected was Johan and Shu. He respects him for his strength. Even with his current sword intent, he knew that he wouldn't be able to defeat the other party. Yes, the results of his numerous sparring with him were always tied. However, he was aware that Johan wasn't going all out.
Suddenly, Shu appeared on his left. "It seems the two are late."
"You mean Kazuto and Kidd? Who knows if they are bickering with each other again." When it comes to the two, Rozho had been long used to their antics. They were always at each other. The relationship between the two might have improved from a mere quarrel to rivalry. They would just compete at everything. He couldn't help but sigh as he thought of the two. At first, he didn't think he would get closer to the members.
Yet, after a year. The members didn't treat him badly or look down on him just because of his background. Instead, they thought of him as just a team member. Nothing more, nothing less. However, it was this fact that made him feel comfortable with them.
"It's time for us to do something! The other two factions were pressuring us for our lack of progress. Even the higher-ups are dissatisfied. Thus... I decided to do a big operation with you guys!"
David's voice echoed throughout the room. Everyone became nervous at this time. They could see the determination in the Scout Captain's eyes. This time, he would have to really risk their lives! If they die, they die!
As he saw the Scout were all ears. David reorganizes the thoughts in his mind. Because he was about to order them was dangerous. An unprecedented mission that will make humanity take a big step forward against Apokalips. After all, until now, humanity lost one after another and their territory continued to shrink. It is safe to say that they are on the brink of extinction.
With a grim expression, the scout nervously waited for David's next words. It's as if they have a choice, right? Society, their family, and their friends have high expectations of them after all. They couldn't just back out just because they wanted to. Or else they would face the ridicule of everyone.
"This time. We will try to reclaim the Wall of Rose! Failure would be a shame to the scout and would become a shadow to humanity. But victory will give our spirit a significant momentum to our spirit! This mission is crucial! We have to be ready to die for it! For the city and people behind us! Success means fame and glory! That's why, my friends, you have to fight!"
Die for the city? Caleb's mouth twitched a little. He doesn't really care about anything, David said. What he was more interested in was the contribution points that he would get.
"Fuck! Reclaim the Wall of Rose!? But just became a Scout for a year, right? What did they expect from us!?"
"Shit! Isn't that just committing juice? What will we gonna do about fame and glory when we're already corpse? Did they expect that we will throw our lives for that!? That's stupid!"
The voices of the Scout grew louder and louder and they began to complain with faces flushed.
Caleb nodded with appreciation. At least, they're not as stupid as he thought them to be. After all, if David managed to convince them that easily. It was over for them.
David just stood expressionlessly. As if the words didn't enter his ears. He knew it would be hard to convince them this time. To claim the Wall of Rose was really just courting death. The scouts would need to fight every Apokalips. Traverse dangerous terrain outside. Still, he has a hidden card on his sleeves to convince them.
"Do you want to give up just like that!?",l
