Chapter 86: New Mates.
1038 Words
I've said my piece. And now, I let them answer it at their own pace. Mashura and I waited as we take a sip of a newly brewed coffee...
Reason why I need coffee right now is because I feel quite... Slumped and slouched. I feel lazy. I'm not tired, I just feel lazy... I need some brand new idea to appear right to me! And Coffee is I think the best thing that can do that...
The Robot serve three cups of Iced coffee and of course, two of them are for me while one of them are for Mashura.
Well, Mashura is not really a big fan of Coffee... So she add a lot of milk and a lot of sugar... Pretty normal I guess...
Anyway. I look at Margaret and Daniel. They're looking very nervous while waiting to gather their courage to answer...
'I mean... The answer is going to be yes. What are they're nervous for? We know that we invited them and we know that their answer is going to be yes... Should I rush them, Alfredo?'
'Naaah. Don't rush them Mashura... Just like David and Yuri. It's not nice if we rush them... In fact, these two seems like they know who we are because they didn't ask too much question. So, let's give them a chance to just... Be themselves.'
'Alright then. Speaking of which, I think I do recognize them... Back when I'm still a Commander in Engineas... These two are my underlings... And it seems like they quit as soon as I quit to pursue... Adventuring. Just like you. It seems like...'
Aaaah... I see... I just look at them and wait for their answer... They definitely excited for this matter... Haaah... For sure, they're going to answer. No question asked in my opinion... So, I waited for a couple of minutes...
"Hey. Answer it. I'm not here all day you know?"
"Y-Yesss!!! W-We gladly join your crew Sir!!!"
Mashura look at me and then sigh really deep...
'You said no pushing.'
'... Sorry... I can't wait that long...'
Yeah... It's a mistake for me to tell Mashura to not rush them. Because in the end, I'm the one rushing them to give an answer... But to be fair... It's necessary to do...
"Because you guys say yes... Follow us to the Dojo... The two of us want to see how you guys fight so that we can make another position."
"Yes!"
"Don't worry about what Alfredo just say just then. You guys don't need to worry about him hurting you. He's not much of a fighter really. He can be vicious, but not all the time... He's more of a brain freak type of a guy. But you do remember my teaching right?"
What are you talking about right now? Of course I'm going to be vicious... Anyway... Margaret and Daniel look very nervous when Mashura reminds them of what her teaching are... I mean... I know how vicious she is when in spar...
Anyway... We go to the Dojo to try out their power first... Of course, it's both Mashura and I fighting against the two of them. Of course, Margaret vs Mashura and Me against Daniel... It's not going to be a hard fight for sure.
But the reason why I want to test their ability is so that I can get my brain moving to make the best weapon for them...
After the Sparring... I understood completely what type of fighter they are... Right now, the two of them are laying on the ground... Mashura and I discuss with each other what we should do.
"So, There's still time before midnight. I think you should continue training them for a bit Mashura. I'll keep an eye using the Drone. With that, I can continue thinking for a better type of weapon."
"Alright then. Good Luck Alfredo. I'll call you to the bed later."
"Sick. See you."
I immediately go down to the forgery to immediately go to the white board. I want to make the rough sketch for their weapon...
Arriving at the Forgery... I grab the pen and then started making sketches.
Okay. Let's talk about each person strength. It's pretty easy to see that Margaret style of fighting is a fast and strong attack. She didn't have any weapon when she fight. She's pretty acrobatic... She likes to use her limbs as a strong weapon...
But the thing is, I think it's going to be nice if she can use a really good scythe. It gives her even more range and a safer way to use her Acrobatic movement. If she can spin around the mid air, she can go crazy with the slashing attack using the scythe...
And then more importantly... Daniel attack type is a bit different than her...
He's definitely a more pure martial artist... I think his main attack is his Spear Hand... So a good gloves with claws is going to be good... And then a leg guard that can increase his speed is going to be nice as well...
So yeah. A Scythe for Margaret so that she can use her Acrobatic movement and momentum from that acrobat movement to its fullest. She's more of an Assassin type. If that makes sense.
She's not going to get involved in the first moment of the fight. It's probably an Initiator Job. So, David, Yuri... It's going to be their job...
The taunt from David and then the Paralyzing Thunder from Yuri. It gives an opening for Margaret to use her acrobat to kill anything instantly. And also, for Daniel to potentially break any defender using the martial arts...
And of course, if push comes to shoves... Mashura and I will take over the entire role and they're going to be a pure support... But if we didn't need to be in the battlefield. Then I would be supporting everyone and Mashura would be keeping an eye on the back line...
Honestly, it's already a perfect combo... So, yeah... If we need more member in the crew... I want someone that can increase the guard in the back line...
But for now, that's what I have in my mind.
