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?"
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
