"It's finally our turn. Do you want to go first?" Clifford asked Caleb.
Caleb shook his head with a smile.
"You go first."
"Okay..." Clifford cleared his throat.
The attention of the people landed on him as he did so. Seeing this, Clifford gathered and restructured his thoughts coherently in his mind.
"I'm Clifford De Voe. I'm from the Wall of Rose, just like Andre and Luna. Actually, we are companions. As for my dream? I want to eradicate the Apokalips until there's no one left! And to do that, I need power. I need to fucking get stronger. Scout is the only way for me."
"What the fuck? Eradicate the Apokalips? As expected from a survivor! Such a big ambition." The guy was about to badmouth Clifford suddenly recalled that the opposite party was a survivor.
"I think he hates the Apokalips to his guts to have such a dream. Just what did the Apokalips do to him?"
"Stupid! Don't we also hate Apokalips? We all wished to eradicate them, but we were innately scared because we didn't have power. His dream is actually normal, you know... Though fulfilling such a dream is another matter altogether."
"Not bad, kid. Not bad... I like your dream!" David gave Clifford a smile of approval. He felt that the kid was quite pleasing to the eye. He looked at the other teenagers. "See? You should make him your role model. As a scout, you should have the bravery, or will, to fight Apokalips, because that would be inevitable if you join us. Have that kind of consciousness and you will go far..." He trailed his voice, then his gaze returned to Clifford. "Clifford is it? Very well... I shall apply 100 contribution points to you for being such a role model!"
Clifford tilted his head and thought in confusion.
'Contribution points?'
"Contribution points? Who cares about that?"
"Yes, Captain!" x40+
It was Shu, the white-haired teenager who started drawing. He just randomly put his hand inside the corner and took one. Then he raised his hand, there was a yellow paper with white tape in front in between his fingers. "It says number 7." he looked at Captain David.
"Then you're in team seven," David replied. "Next."
Shu nodded and made way for the male behind him. No matter the team he was in. He was determined to come out on top!
"Team six!"
"Team one!
"Team two!"
"Team five!"
"Team eight!"
"Seems we won't be in the seam team then." It was Andre's turn in line. He felt depressed as he realized he wouldn't be on the same team as Johan and others.
Andre walked towards David who was holding a medium-sized box. With a sigh, he put his hand inside.
"I'm team one..."
Just like that, the people lined up and took turns drawing papers. Luna and Clifford drew team one, the same team as Andre. While Caleb and the green-haired kid drew the number seven. Explore stories on m,v l'-novelhall.net
