Gerhard silently looked at Luina. Her bright, eager eyes weakened his resolve.
He didn't want to do it. He really didn't want to, but...
'If Luina wants it.'
If that would keep the downfall a little further away.
"Alright."
After all, this was the surest way to make Luina the top student as well.
"Since you've chosen me, trust me completely. Then I'll lead you to victory."
He was confident. After all, he could roughly estimate who would become the leader in the other groups.
"Good, leader. What should we do first? Strengthen our defenses?"
"We don't do such trivial things."
Gerhard spread out the map to check the positions of the other groups.
"We'll immediately send messengers to Groups 2 and 4."
A person accustomed to standing above others.
A person with experience in commanding an actual army.
Thus, the person with the most advantage in this exam.
"We'll eliminate Rudger Schwaben first."
Common enemies should be dealt with as quickly as possible.
