Sitting alone in a dark room. The door closes, turns off the lightstone, and no light seeps into the curtained room. Looking out of the clear terrace, you can see the sky bitten with a sudden darkness. A few hours ago, the noisy city was silenced, and a magical lamp installed in the street illuminated a mysterious light.

Suddenly, I was halfway up. I desperately wanted to go out and see the night in the city, but I forced myself to sit on my butt. It felt like I was running away. As I took a long sigh and looked down, I noticed four notes lying on my desk.

‘Clan Road…. ’

"Why did you suppress conflict and eliminate competition? ’

I didn't say anything. Jegal seaweed disappears like the wind, thinking about it slowly, but only for a few hours after that. Without making a decision.

You don't have to worry so much about loss. I already know the answer to the question. The reason I eliminated conflict and competition was not in the deepest sense or the greatest intention. It's just convenient.

Conflict or excessive competition can make the clan sick. So we all come together as a minority elite.

I was strongly repressed under this pretext, but I didn't really think so. In fact, the deeper the conflict, the more intense the competition, the harder it was for me to lead the clan as I wanted. It's a good word for a good word, and it's manipulation.

Yes. I wanted the Machinery to move under my command. That's why I set out myself and made the tribe disappear, looking for signs of conflict or excessive competition.

There was definitely a result. I don't know about each other, but at least when I was there, everyone laughed and moved together.

On the contrary, some have been lost. After the conflict disappeared on the surface, the competition also naturally subsided. I began to see one or two resting clans. You lean on the clan when things are hard for the individual to solve, and you lean on me when things are hard for the clan to solve.

In one way or another, I was ahead of almost everything. This is how the current machine was born.

Externally, there are a lot of secret and rare elite clans. However, the reality is that if the user named Kim Soo-hyun is gone, it will collapse like a sandcastle. This was the current address of the mercenary.

‘I felt a lot during this attack on the Steel Mountains. I wonder if the performance is not as good as the reputation... ’

‘Ah. Of course, you fought well. Obviously, in normal combat, they exerted the power of fire. I admit that.'

‘But not in such a battle. In a real crisis.... Have the clans done anything? ’

‘Even in the face of the Pit Monster and the Awakened Giant King. I mean, if there were no clan lords, could there have been someone to clean up the mess? That's the sound. "

Every word that Jegal left behind comes back as an irrefutable scepter. I feel like I'm pinching hard.

“Hmm…. ”

Another long sigh broke the record on my desk. Then, I noticed the ratings of the 4th chapter clan members by rank. In fact, they were quite accurate, except for one or two. But I really don't think I should do this. I stared at the record for a long time.

“ ……. ”

How long has it been?

"Clan Lord's plan is good. But the machine had worn clothes that didn't fit for too long. ’

‘At this rate, the Mercenary Clan will never prosper. ’

Eventually, I grabbed the quill. Then, after checking the V-letters in Ansol and Rating for Reason, one person began to carefully review.

‘Goyeon Ju S... New Jae Ryong is A... ’

After dark, the morning dawned.

After breakfast, I immediately called all combat users to the meeting room on the first floor. I am no longer hesitant to make a decision in my mind. It was an unannounced meeting, but at the worst, I had a meeting without interruption of a day. Clan members have no doubt (?) I gathered quickly to the meeting room.

The meeting that started like that always started with me. As I often spoke about clan recruitment, at the introduction to the need for clan change and reconciliation, I saw a light that everyone agreed on. And just when I took the first step in the change and said something about the Clan Member Ranking Agency, the clans quietly stared at me.

“There's nothing to think about. You all know about aptitude. When you take an exam, you get a score, and the grades of each student are divided according to that score, from grade 1 to grade 9. ”

It was quiet, that's all.

“We're the same. EX to F. That is to say, this is a measure of the power of the individual within the clan. ”

The moment I announced the details of the plan, the long story began to fill with a loud rumbling sound in the shovel. A dizzier mess swept through the meeting hall than ever before. I hit my desk a couple times.

“Quiet!”

It immediately became quiet, but the aftermath of the commotion did not go away. There are eyes pouring out of every corner that I don't understand, which is ridiculous. Even Jegal's seaweed was looking at me with its surprised rabbit eyes open. However, the moment I met my eyes, I laughed and shook my head. Applauding silently.

“I'm sure you have a lot of questions. We will ask you one question at a time. ”

Then a flash comes up from the right column, and someone jumps up straight away. It was Seung Woo Jo.

“Clan Road. This plan…. I don't really understand the purpose of this plan. ”

“Purpose? I made myself clear at the beginning. You said it was for a better clan. ”

“Oh, I know. Change is good. It's good. But why did you think this way.... It's too sudden, to be honest. ”

“There's no need to be so sudden. I've been silent, and I've been thinking ever since I heard what our money was like when I disappeared. ”

At that moment, the clan members harden their faces. Actually, that was a lie. This plan would not have been announced if it weren't for Jegal's seaweed. But the reason I lied was to give the job to everyone here.

“This is a question our money has been pointing out over the years. And it turned out to be true after the Atlanta attack. And considering that it was shaking from the outside, I decided that I couldn't rule this out anymore. ”

“Even if it is.... ”

“And I have to warn you, this isn't the only plan that's going to end this change. We will continue to make fundamental changes as we look at the situation moving forward until the problem is completely resolved. This is just the first step. ”

“ ……. ”

There seemed to be something more to say, but in the end, Seung Woo turned his eyes around and sat down.

“Clan Road. I have a question."

This time, Jeongyeon stood up.

“I know what you mean... You said earlier that ratings represent the authority of individuals within the clan. ”

I nodded, meaning yes.

“Then I want to know the exact scope of the authority. ”

The thin light came from the eyes of Jungyeon speaking.

I opened my mouth quietly.

“Simple. Authority means all the activities that are based on our machinery. ”

It was practically a summary of everything in the grading plan.

“All…. Activity?”

However, Jeongyeon tilted her head to see if it was too short. It seemed like I needed a supporting explanation.

Stronger, so we can understand it clearly.

As such.

“Let me give you an example. So far, if you've found a result, you've had an honest discussion with each other and shared them one by one. I don't do that anymore. Regardless of whether you fit the class or not, high ranking clan members will always have priority. Speaking rights at meetings. This is the same thing. It will no longer be equal. The higher the grade, the stronger the right to speak. Everything is rated and operated on a small scale. ”

I've finally done it.

More active clan members are more treated.

It abolished the soju that had always been called a free mercenary and declared the full opening of the competition.

Jungyeon did not see any reaction. He just glanced at me and sat down with a long breath. It was a subtle expression.

“… a little, but I promise you a few things. ”

Add calmly and take a look around the left, and clans with dim lights come into view. Suddenly, the meeting room became as quiet as the first time. I could only hear the occasional whimpering of breath, and no one was talking anymore. No, you don't even seem to want to open your mouth.

I am worried that I will understand and accept the plan, but I do not intend to quit here. Because the water's already spilled.

“Familiarity with Clan Lord makes you obsessed with being an early member? There's no such thing anymore. Individual impact is determined by rating, regardless and exclusively. ”

At that moment, three or four clan members, including the Kim Han-star, raised their heads. On the contrary, An-hyun, An-sol and Yu-jeong mutilated their bodies. Yes, I said it quite frankly, but I don't know about An-hyun or An-sol, but there must have been a slight stabbing.

Next, I looked to the left and said,

“A long-standing clan reunion and a gentle, powerful breath? There's no such thing. Ten people in grade B are below one in grade A. ”

Then, Jeongyeon, Ko Yeon-ju, Im Hannah, and the rest of the order tingle in order. I've been watching you persuade the Clan members of the Steel Mountains with your three regional support cases, but there is definitely a gathering.

‘But there are only two S's and one A's. ’

... Well, I have one more EX rating besides me.

Of course, it is unlikely, but if those four misuse this plan, then I will go out myself. Even if all four of them are my women.

Anyway, no further questions. I think it's about time I took out the folded record in my arms. The clan members' gaze naturally moves along the record in my arms.

“This record lists your ratings that I have considered and evaluated. ”

I raised the record a little higher for everyone to see.

“We first base our ratings on user information, but the ratings are not limited to classes, abilities, and capabilities. From one business record you handle to one sentence of orders. All results are updated on a monthly basis. ”

Of course, once determined ratings are not permanent. Depending on how hard you work each month, you can go up and down if you are lazy.

I looked around the conference room one more time and looked up at the classical performance. When I received the signal, I carefully got up and approached the throne I was sitting on. I handed over the records right away.

“Post at the end of the meeting in the hall on the first floor as stated here. For everyone to see.... No. Right now. ”

I corrected it because I was going to end the meeting soon anyway. Yeon-ju grabbed the record politely and immediately turned around and walked to the entrance. Then the clan's gaze grows further and further away.

The occasional visible, ticking neck shows the feelings of the current clan members. Perhaps the students' feelings were about to get their transcripts after the test.

By the time the highway player left the entrance and disappeared completely.

“Then the meeting will end here. ”

I slowly rose from the throne.

Clan 1 ratings do not include year 0 and year 1. This means that no seaweed or Cha Hee Young are excluded, and the ratings will be applied from the second year.:)
