It seemed that even without being blunt, Freyr could guess the thoughts hidden deep within these people, which was truly unexpected.
However, the front was also well concealed, and Freyr decided not to press further. If nothing had really happened, he could only remain silent and let them take a little advantage. As the Commander, he completely trusted his subordinates, but throughout this process, he needed to demonstrate impartiality. He couldn't show any signs of weakness; otherwise, people might think he was easy to bully, and that would lead to trouble for him later.
What he needed to do was simple: be strict when necessary and loosen up when appropriate. He had to create a sense of urgency, making them realize the seriousness of their recent mistakes—serious enough that it could cost lives. At that point, even he might not have the strength to enforce discipline.
This was a rather dire situation. Therefore, what he needed to do now was alert the team to avoid potential pitfalls. Making others understand his good intentions was sometimes harder than climbing a mountain, but he had to keep pushing forward.
"Alright, since everyone is fine, let's hold a meeting," Freyr said with a slight smile as he looked at everyone.
Meetings for the Hunter Team were almost routine; Freyr always took the lead. However, given the changes that had occurred lately, he felt that if he continued to bear everything alone, it would be a disservice to the rest of the team. Watching only himself progress while others stagnated was unacceptable. In a battlefield where thoughts raced ahead, if he were to sacrifice himself, the remaining members would be left as foolish pawns. That would be a crime—and right now, he felt like he was committing one.
Although they usually appeared lively, that was only in casual settings. Through discussions in meetings, they could effectively understand each other's inner thoughts and get to know anyone in the team better. This was his perspective on those around him; if this approach worked, he wouldn't even bother with personal conversations.
Instead, he aimed to involve everyone in the meeting, encouraging their thinking and ideas to progress together. This would effectively help the overall advancement of the team—not just in terms of strength but also in keeping their thinking aligned with current trends. It wouldn't do for one person to understand everything while others were left confused; that would be quite awkward.
Thus, at the start of this meeting, everyone was invited to take turns speaking about their thoughts over recent days—anything at all—even sharing personal opinions during the process.
This greatly helped with team cohesion as time passed unnoticed during their discussions. Everyone relaxed while listening with just their ears; there wasn't much pressure anyway. They could sit or stand comfortably.
"Alright then, we still have some time left; let's go grab something to eat," Freyr said as he stood up and glanced at the time as if he had locked onto it and decided to set off early.
"Uh, what's wrong? Aren't you hungry?" Mackey asked in surprise as he looked at Xiong Tai. Xiong Tai could only helplessly respond.
"I'll sit here and digest the details from the meeting; you all go ahead." Little did he know, Xiong Tai suddenly forced a deep demeanor, responding lightly without lifting his head, leaving others uncertain about what was on his mind.
However, Mackey, piecing together everything that had happened today, chuckled knowingly and asked, "If you’re not going, I’ll just go eat first. If you're late, there won’t be any food left. We still have to stand guard tonight, and if something happens and you’re not in good shape, we won’t be able to help you. Think it through; your life is your own, so take care of yourself."
"Uh, bring me back some food. How much you bring depends on you. That’s fine; I’m not picky about food," Xiong Tai said unexpectedly as Mackey was about to leave. Mackey knew he would call out to him, so he turned back slightly.
"Alright, I got it. I’ll bring you back a few meat buns."
Mackey exchanged a smile with him before heading out with his gear. After the day’s events, Xiong Tai felt incredibly uneasy about his actions; everything seemed to go wrong. Was it possible he was having an unlucky day? Perhaps that was the case, but he couldn’t skip the night shift. It was his duty to patrol at night while his companions were outside. If he didn’t patrol and something went wrong, his reputation would be tarnished.
Moreover, although their team wasn’t particularly strong—just a fledgling Score team—they were still quite reputable. With the boost from the previous reward of one hundred thousand Reward Points, each member's combat ability had reached a certain level of strength. The synergy between their abilities made it hard to imagine how high they could reach in battle; perhaps they would even frighten other teams with their prowess.
They were indeed strong; what did a little misfortune matter? With the weapons acquired from their team development, even formidable enemies should fall before them.
After dinner time passed, Xiong Tai finished his buns and put on a fur coat to avoid catching a chill before heading out. They would patrol from now until morning, continuing through the night until around six o'clock when someone would come to take over.
So far, things were under control, but nighttime was always the most troublesome period due to limited visibility. They weren’t sure if they could remain as alert as during the day.
They understood that their current situation was quite precarious and had no idea how long it would last. However, these rookie teams were completely unaware that someone was watching their every move from behind the scenes. They shouldn’t assume they were acting alone; if such troublesome matters could be resolved simply by pushing them onto novices, then such a large association would surely be on a downward spiral by now.
There were others involved in this operation as well; however, unlike the Hunter Association's approach, they had chosen seasoned professionals with combat experience.
In contrast, when faced with unexpected situations, these individuals would have the ability to make beneficial decisions for human survival within the stipulated time frame—even if it meant sacrificing themselves to turn the situation to their advantage.
