Humans tend to rely or worship on something or someone whose stronger than them and make them safe from all the danger in their very lives.
Early in the morning, White was called by Leirra on something the Awakened people in the Area called Gathering.
" What's happening? Why call me to this Gathering you guys called? "
White asked as he is unwilling to participate in anything related to other people since he still needs to take notes on what he has observed from the beginning.
" Well, remember that "Brain-dead group" incident? " Leirra says as they walk towards the center of Salakot.
" Yeah. What about them? did they cause any inconvenience to normal people? "
" Well, since we're already close to the Salakot, let's hear it on that place what the Players are about to say."
Acting so mysterious, White got annoyed by this but still followed her towards the Center.
" Here they are. Welcome! Let's introduce ourselves since everyone is here. " Said by a man with a build of a bodybuilder.
" I'm Marco. My class is Defender. Basically a Tank. " he said
" This is Arnold, a Lancer, and Marga, a Healer. " Marco additionally said as he introduced his team.
Players around the Salakot introduced themselves one by one and their respective Classes.
While this was happening, White called his sister to come over to the Salakot.
" I'm Leirra, My Class is a Fencer and this guy is White. Wait, what was your Class again? " Leirra asks him as she has forgotten to ask earlier about his Class.
" I'm an Assassin. " White told them a fake class.
' since those three from MOA arena isn't here and from the earlier tutorial and people saw me using the dagger I grabbed from earlier, I can safely say this without others noticing that my class is Fake.'
White thought about this and told her sister about his additional Fake Class using [Communication].
" I have a sister whose coming here. Oh, here she is."
White looks at his sister walking in his direction.
" This is Zia, My sister. She's a Swordsman. "
White looked at them as he introduced his sister.
" Neat. Now that Every Player is here, should we talk about how we organized our hierarchy? "
Marco suggested as he looked at everyone.
" The leader should be without a doubt the one who acquired this Safe Zone right? "
Lando said who's Class is an Archer.
" I guess everyone agrees to that right? " Leirra added
" Well about that.. "
White mumbles as he is reluctant to take the Leader position
" I'll take it. " Zia abruptly said as she looks at her brother.
' Well, she had that Leadership Trait so I guess it's safe to say that she is qualified to be the leader. '
" I agree. " White added while looking at everyone.
" May I ask why is your sister and not you? " Marco asks as if he cannot understand why he agrees to his sister to take the Leader position and not him.
" I do not have the capacity to lead everyone but my sister has. "
White answers him
" Also, my sister has the Trait 'Leadership' so it's safe to say that she's more capable than me to Lead everyone here. "
White added
" Well, if you say so. " Marco got satisfied with White's answer and asks everyone a question.
" Do you all agree that Zia will be the Leader? "
"Yep. No problem. "
Everyone seemingly agrees as if it's already decided from the start.
" And the Vice leader should be you. " Marco said to White with a look as if he won't take no for an answer.
" Sure. "
White surrenders, although he doesn't really want to be a part of leading a group.
" Now let's decide on everyone's position and distribute it fairly. "
The Players suggested positions and brainstormed on their assigned posts. They also discuss what they will do to help and how they would assign those normal people inside the Safe Zone since they can't fight the monsters outside.
" Normally, I would agree on that suggestion to just help them on their daily food necessities but, if we will just give them everything without work, they'll continue to rely on us to death and it'll backfire us. "
White was suggesting that they shouldn't let the normal people rely on them in their daily life without them helping inside the Safe Zone.
" You've got a point. We're not omnipotent and there are only 20 of us Players here. " Marco added.
" Other than the Elderly and children, Let's assign them to the discussed position for them. "
With that, the first Gathering ended smoothly.
