"I understand. In that case, I'll join too." After looking at everyone, Sylphin also spoke.
Although she wasn't sure what everyone could actually help with, since the people around her had all joined this special team, she didn't want to be left out.
"Good. Since everyone has agreed to join, a team needs a leader. Otherwise, it can easily become a disorganized mess. Here, I propose Takeru as the team leader!" Yukino said seriously.
"I agree!" Hearing Yukino's words, Rikka was the first to vote.
"I agree too!" Quickly, Yui and Umaru also agreed rapidly.
"I approve!"
Soon, the vote was cast. Apart from the newly joined Ritsu and Sylphin who didn't vote, everyone else unanimously passed the motion.
"Since everyone trusts me so much, I understand. Then, from today on, I am the team leader!" Looking at everyone's expectant gazes, Takeru no longer hesitated and nodded directly.
After all, the meaning of this team leader is completely different from that of a club president. Becoming the leader essentially means this team is Takeru's own force, and the authority it holds is not ordinary...
Of course, Takeru isn't very concerned about authority, but having a group of people who listen to him is something he wouldn't refuse.
"Good. Since the team is established, I also hope the team has clearer regulations. First, members of the team must never fight or kill each other! Second, whether in the team world or the real world, we should try to help each other. Of course, if someone wants to act alone, that's not forced, but absolutely no scheming against teammates!"
"Third, outside, we must not disclose team matters or members! Fourth, team members must not arbitrarily disturb the peace of the real world unless absolutely necessary!"
"Fifth, if it's a world involving confrontation, and we are on opposing sides, I hope we avoid taking lives as much as possible, and also strive for fair competition." Takeru paused for a moment before speaking.
"I understand!" Everyone had no issues with the first four regulations, but hearing the last one, they seemed somewhat somber.
"Um, will there really be situations requiring confrontation?" Hearing Takeru's words, Ritsu hesitantly spoke up.
"I'm not sure. I haven't encountered it yet. It's best if there isn't, but if it really happens, I hope everyone at the very least doesn't go for the kill against fellow team members. Of course, if the situation is truly dire, then we'll decide based on the circumstances!"
"We understand!" Hearing Takeru say this, everyone could only nod gloomily. Having experienced quite a few life-and-death struggles, everyone wouldn't shy away from the concept of killing as much anymore.
"Alright, that situation is the worst-case scenario. Normally, we probably won't run into it. Now, let me talk about the requirements for joining the team later." Seeing the somewhat heavy atmosphere in the classroom, Takeru quickly changed the subject.
"What conditions are needed?" Hearing Takeru's words, everyone looked at him curiously.
"Very simple. It's about character. People joining the team can be weak in strength, but their personality must be without issue. As for if anyone has candidates they want to recommend, you must not tell them about the team matters beforehand!"
"They need to pass an assessment here first, then we'll hold a vote. If the number of 'yes' votes exceeds the 'no' votes, we can then extend an invitation." Takeru said seriously.
"Yes!" Hearing Takeru's words, everyone had no objections.
"Good. Does anyone have any questions or anything to add?" Seeing everyone nod, Takeru quickly spoke up.
"Um, why can't we tell others about the team or disclose team members?" Yui asked curiously.
"Of course, it's to protect everyone as much as possible. The abilities in that place are strange and varied. Later, there might be people with malicious intentions who gain power and abuse it, killing indiscriminately. Plus, even if we don't actively seek trouble, others might come looking for it."
"In such situations, we will inevitably encounter these people. In severe cases, we might even have to take action and kill them in the real world. To prevent them from becoming desperate and seeking revenge on other members, we need to hide member information as much as possible!"
"Furthermore, I hope that after each mission ends, if everyone returns to the main hall, don't converse too intimately. Wait until returning to the real world to communicate!"
"After all, the new function is also quite good. Everyone can return first and then find time to enter that place later, although entering normally requires spending 100 points." Looking at everyone, Takeru spoke seriously.
"Yes!" Hearing Takeru's words, everyone's expressions tightened, understanding the dangers he mentioned. Yukino and Hachiman especially felt this deeply… human nature is the most terrifying thing.
And Sylphin and the others now understood why everyone had nominated Takeru as leader. Just this foresight alone was something no one else could match.
Next, Takeru proposed promoting Yukino to vice-leader. Mainly, tasks like organizing cleanup activities or gathering intelligence still needed her to handle them.
As for Takeru himself, although he became the leader, his main role was to make final decisions on certain matters and guide everyone.
Afterwards, everyone began free conversation, and Takeru also curiously asked about everyone's experiences in that world.
Hearing this, a few hesitated before explaining. When Takeru heard that everyone who chose the first world had become the same girl, he secretly felt relieved for choosing Grimgar World… Otherwise, he would have also experienced being a girl for a month...
Based on everyone's accounts, that world was a romance and dating simulation world. According to everyone's summary, there were four main male protagonists and three main female protagonists. Including the replaced female protagonist, there were four female protagonists in total.
But this was just everyone's speculation. Among them, the ones with the best results were actually Hachiman and Sylphin, who received a B+ rating, which made Takeru's gaze turn somewhat strange...
As for the others, Umaru only got a B rating, mainly because in several scenarios, everyone had missed several important characters to pursue.
However, none had triggered a scenario that led to death. At the very least, everyone's main quests were completed. The lowest in the team was Yuta, with only a C, mainly because his ability to adapt was too weak...
Apart from the team, what everyone didn't know was that yesterday, one of the men had triggered a deadly scenario and died once, losing ten points in all attributes.
After coming out, he was sullen and unhappy, and together with another companion he knew in reality, they began to harbor ill intentions toward Umaru.
Through conversation, everyone also learned the names of the other four Reincarnators. Based on their descriptions, Tsumugi quickly identified the two men's names: Tasokure Tadashi and Maekawa Tomoya. According to the initial introduction, both seemed to be ordinary office workers, and their residences were not in Chiba Prefecture...
Then, Ritsu began to complain about the two. At the beginning, all eight had chosen the same world. Although they were split into two groups, each area had four people sticking together. After understanding the situation a bit, the two men started trying to get handsy with Ritsu and the other girl...
However, Ritsu wasn't the type to take things lying down and resisted directly. Seeing this, the two could only glare resentfully at Ritsu, planning to find another opportunity in later worlds...
Hearing Ritsu's account, Takeru began to ponder. Clearly, these two were not the peaceful type. Perhaps due to too much pent-up frustration, once they gained power in the future, they would definitely seek revenge on the world...
After warning everyone to be extra careful if they encountered the two, Takeru couldn't do much for now. Firstly, the two hadn't actually done anything concrete yet.
Secondly, Takeru only knew their city, not exactly where they lived. He couldn't possibly go to great lengths to find and kill them just because they might commit crimes in the future...
