"Wait Jin, if the strongest group is the blue one. Now according to sir Jake, each group must have more than 10 % stage one apprentice warriors in them. The size of blue part machinery is 50 so if we take the 10 % minimum category then at least 5 people will be able to join this group. Now, the most likely candidate for this seat is S ranks and A+ ranks. But both S ranks form a large group and they seem to want to join from the pink, white, or brown part. They were not even considered to join the strongest blue and the weakest(unknown) grey groups. Why is that??"
Jin slaps his forehead.
"I never go deep into these thoughts. You are right Eric. During these 2 months, we both realize that the training speed of higher rank potential is faster than low rank one. So according to this fact, both Emily and Nico should have the fastest training speed here. They will become the strongest. Why were they not want to go to blue-core machinery? They can form a small group and join the blue part. There is something wrong or missing in the information we get about the inner part."
Eric nodded his head.
"They know more than we know."
Eric pauses speaking. Hearing that they know less information than others caused a huge frown on Jin's face. He looks toward Eric who still has a calm face. Jin ask
"This is all about their action. What about your plan."
"Keep calm Jin, we first need to know our opponents then only we able to fight them. Tell me who you think gives Emily and others this information. That they do not even compete for the strongest army."
"You need to ask that. Obviously, except for us 2000 and level 1 Warriors, no one is present in the academy. One of the teachers must tell them."
" I can only think of one thing that may be missing in information. Jin remembers when we see the inner city. Except for the blue part, every other follow a specif design for their buildings. Only the blue part has a different design of building they only have blue color in common other things are completely different.
Those who join the blue part have more freedom. They are the strongest. From what I can think is that this part contains the top children of academy teachers in them. Academy teachers' children must also attend Academy. Those children had max resources from their childhood. I also hear about many rare herbs that can increase talent. The blue part is for the top talent of our academy That is higher than the S ranks in potential. Top potential children of teachers are together getting the most resources and authority.
No not only the blue part but each part core and elites position is for academy teacher children. What students you are seeing right now are nothing but pawns and shields for these children. We are here so that we can sever them better. For the safety of their children, they are training us. hahaha"
Jin becomes stunned after hearing that. He mumbles to himself.
"Talent higher than S rank. Teacher's children. Treating as pawn and shield."
The room becomes quiet. Only Eric's laughter can be heard inside it. Seeing Jin getting more depressed Eric patted him on the shoulder and speak.
"Do not worry Jin. I never say only children of teachers will get a higher position. We are warriors strength is most important to us. There will be many of us who get an equal position as them. The best example is that how both S and all 5 A+ ranks are treated differently than others. These are the people who will be strongest among our batch."
Hearing this Jin's mood improve a little bit. He asks Eric.
"But you said that we are just pawns and shields for them."
"That will only be the case if we are weaker than them. I think these children will join us after 4 months when the competition to get selected in the inner city will start. All we need to do is get a good rank and enter a part of the inner city as a part of the main army."
"This sound possible."
Shaking his head Eric denied it.
"In my guess, at least 50 students will join us. Their average potential rank will be B or C. But most of them will be stronger than everyone present here. They are given special resources and training from childhood so you can hope to see some monster among them."
Jin nodded his head. Those children will be more powerful than 2000 students. Jin asks in concern
"So what is the plan for future action? "
Eric speaks in his calm voice.
"Leave those guys who come in the future to that date. For now, we need to increase our strength and try to create some unrest in the groups. We cannot let them get all the benefits and do nothing for it."
" I get it you want them to get tangled themselves in group management so that they have less time to train. But our training will also get affected by this. Is it worth it, that we have to worry about future opponents?"
Jin asks worriedly.
"Jin what do you think is most important for us now? It is fighting different kinds of opponents. We do not get much benefit from fighting among ourselves anymore. Now it is time to show your power and increase your fame.
Currently, most of the low-potential students need academy coins for purchasing art from the library. Now what we will do is fight these people in a gambling match. Many among them are still powerful. Fighting them will work for us as training and this gambling will create unrest among students. Our work is to only plant this idea of gambling into their mind. Although this will only create a distraction for a few days. After that, we will see many fighters from different groups fighting among themselves. I think we can go do this for like a month until regional war end."
"Wow, your plan is simple but precise. Hiding our strength may help us but not much. What we need now is information about opponents and to increase our strength. This will do us both. It may possible to create infighting in the group. This plan is suitable for this little time. Brilliant I can already think of many ways this gambling causes problems for groups."
"Good I know that. Now we need to decide the gambling amount. In the library price of basic art is 1000 coins. Let's discuss the format and amount we need to gamble in per match. We need a format that will make gambling more interesting and we also need to show hope to low-potential students that they can beat up."
"You mean to say that we need to pretend that we were weak. But that will contradictory, If we want to train then we need to fight at our fullest."
"No, Jin I am not talking about pretending or anything. But what about if we put some restrictions on the match? These restrictions will work in such a way that even if we use our full strength low potential students still have hope to defeat us."
Jin tilted his head in confusion and ask.
"Restriction, What type of restriction. Can you give me an idea?"
Eric starts thinking deeply after some thought he speaks.
" What about if we place some time restriction? Like they need to survive this or that mins in a fight."
Hearing that idea starts appearing in Jin's mind. He speaks to Eric.
"I get it. what you are saying. Yup, I think this will work."
Saying that both Eric and Jin start discussing things like where to fight and who to fight. They also discuss different types of restrictions they can place on the match. Jin is the one deciding these things while Eric gives some comments here and there.
Both guys, one sly guy, and the other informative guy start finalizing their plan to create unrest in the academy.
