"They seem to be making good progress."
Simon took off his new outfit and stored it in his closet, switching for his comfortable Pyjamas.
"I am going to sleep now."
The next day:
Simon waited at the front of the main building, packed with a large supply of rations and equipment, he seemed like he was going on a hunt; which he is.
Surrounding him where his team, which he could finally meet. Among them where every single one of the new students he picked up two weeks ago, which includes James of course, as well as Liam, Benny and Jack. Seeing that his team was not a terrible matchup, Simon was quite happy.
"Hey Simon, it"s almost like I haven"t seen you in forever! Where have you been?" Jack laughed.
"I"ve been busy lately, master gives me quite a lot of work." Simon cheerfully responded.
"Of course, Professor is always hardworking, so why can we slack? That would be an insult to him." Jack commented zealously.
"Yep, Prof expects us to come home in one piece, and I"m not about to disappoint him." Liam interjected.
"So who wants to be leader?" Liam asked.
"What about Tyrone?" James suggested.
"No, being strong doesn"t not necessarily make me a leader. Perhaps You should try." Tyrone responded calmly.
"I don"t have many powerful tricks, but if everyone agrees then I"ll do it." James agreed.
"Definitely no, I believe someone like my sister can do the job well." Sienna commented coldly.
"Mich.e.l.le is a club leader, and knows how to get things done."
"Nonono... I"d prefer if someone like Simz took the job. I"d feel more dps are if he did." Mich.e.l.le rejected.
"Leaders.h.i.+p?"
"You know what? I"ll get it done." Simon stepped up.
"I am very much okay with this arrangement." Tyrone spoke out.
Jack, who was humiliated by Simon a month ago, had a change of heart towards the latter, viewing Simon as a mature figure now. Holding no grudge, he gave Simon his vote.
"Me too."
"You already know my answer." Mich.e.l.le spoke.
"I respect the professor"s first disciple and will follow his lead." Mark stated.
"Me too."
"Also, me."
"I second, or was it third, fifth? I support it." Sam announced.
"Ahhh... I can now guide my cla.s.s in the Trials without having to clash with people. If they do as I say, no one will end up dead. On the other hand, I know who is trying to mess with me already. And they will not be coming back to Haven."
"He just had to go after my students."
"You told me the intel in the middle of one of my lectures, seeing my students" faces makes it more personal."
"ALL ABOARD!"
