Luke, Hayato and other mercenaries were having a discussion about what to do. Ever since they met at the Albion Empire they had become a tightly knit group.

First of all, it wasn't easy for a child to be a mercenary. Most of them would die on the battlefields early.

Secondly, all of them had abilities and general knowledge concerning supernatural but they weren't exactly in that circle.

After all, there were countless strong people out there and they weren't even strong enough to be in the outer circle yet so after meeting for the first time in the Autumnfall they decided to hang out together.

”I don't think we should get involved” said Six.

Honestly, the mercenaries had trouble with him. At first they had thought he was Hayato's twin brother but then they explained he was actually Hayato's clone. It was a little hard to take in.

They could somewhat accept it if he was created through magic but Six was a result of a science experiment. Who is to say that the government wouldn't clone them too if they got their hands on them.

”But don't you think we could be useful? Most of the kids here never saw bloodshed before. They will die without even understanding how they died” said Lance.

”I agree as well but Lance no need to use flowery words. I know that you only want to beautiful ladies right?” said Selim cheekily.

”Maybe?” said Lance awkwardly while scratching the back of his head.

”I think we should just let them be. If they die its their own fault. Have you forgotten the first rule of being a mercenary? Always look out for yourself because no one else will” said Leslie.

She was right. There were countless stronger people than them in this school. So why should they risk their lives to save strangers. Especially when there wasn't any benefits.

”What about you Luke? What do you think we should do?” asked Hayato.

Luke had a troubled expression. He honestly didn't know what to do. He didn't want to see other people die but he didn't want to risk his life for strangers.

His parents had already lost a child before and he didn't want to die while trying to be a hero. Mercenary work was fine. He was getting paid and he would plan the details to meticulously so that he wouldn't be any danger that he wouldn't be able to handle.

”I don't care. I will just follow whatever decision the group decides” said Luke.

In the end he decided to let things take its course. In the end it should be fine to follow whatever they decide right?

At moments like this Luke wished Linri was here. They hadn't interacted much but he could see it from his eyes. He had the ability to pry into other people's most inner thoughts. It was like he had the ability to read other people's minds.

That was why Luke always thought he was suited to be a leader. There were different interpretations of how a leader should be and Luke's was like this. A leader should have the ability to give the right job to the right person.

Linri was suited for this task. Sine he could read other people's hearts he could see what job would suit them. He was the ideal leader in Luke's mind. He was cruel, arrogant, selfish and heartless. Basically the perfect leader.
