A Failure's hopeful Journey

Deputy Commander Riaz led You Xi Wang to the squad hall that was constructed for the reserve squad. Yes, they did not have a squad hall dedicated for themselves yet. They were all just here for a year. How could they be allotted a new squad hall? 

Riaz spoke as he led You Xi Wang to the dusty derelict building. He spoke in a wry tone, "Umm, this will be your base of operations. It needs a bit of cleansing so I hope you don't mind. It can also be used as barracks and dorms. What do you think? Is it okay?"

You Xi Wang replied, "Yes, sir. Is my squad here?"

Riaz spoke, "Yes, they are all here." He led him to the back of the building where the squad was gathered. Klaus spotted You Xi Wang coming over with the deputy commander and immediately shouted, "Attention."

He was the first lieutenant. The rest of the people turned attention in an instant. You Xi Wang spoke, "Thank you, Deputy Commander. May I take charge right away?"

The deputy commander was surprised by his eagerness and nodded. This also meant that he has been politely asked to go away. Despite this, he nodded after all the permission to start the special squad came from the council elders themselves. How can he a mere deputy intervene? So he said, "I wish you, all the best, Captain You." 

The boy saluted him and sent him off. The system spoke up, [Did you see his face?]

You Xi Wang said, 'I even read his mind let alone face. He wished to kick me back home for sending me off.'

The system replied, [Oh, this is a good surprise. You can now read minds. Nicely played.]

You Xi Wang did not reply. During the battle last night when he kicked off the shit storm he finally got to level one of mind-reading, Judging reactions. Giving up on the bitching session. He faced the squad in front of him.

He spoke, "First, let's clean this up. You have five minutes." his voice was not loud but everyone heard it. 

Fenny stepped forward and said, "Klausy, you sure you are the first lieutenant? Get the wind or water spirit users to dust of the dirt and then spray dew on it."

Klaus did as he was told and the squad moved. Fenny said, "Fire spirit users, heat it. We need the house dried up."

Her words were followed up and within three minutes the clean-up was done. You Xi Wang led everyone inside the core command room. It was a big hall with one map on the wall and a digital tablet in the center.

You Xi Wang spoke, "Technical experts of all teams step forward."

8 people stepped forward. You Xi Wang said, "You all know your duties but what I want you to do is to find me a ratio where all five elements are balanced and can be combined. You have one day for this task. I want every team to be rearranged ins such a manner that they have users of all the elements. Get it?"

The 8 people replied, "YES, SIR."

Klaus asked, "Sir, why do you rearrange us?"

You Xi Wang spoke in a deep voice, "Five elements can be combined to form energy, I call, Holy Spirit energy. This energy is not only pure but also very strong. I show will show you." he waved his hand and five round balls of spirit energy were combined. 

He waved it again and the spirit energy combined forming a golden ball tenth the size of the five balls. You Xi Wang said, "This small blob is enough to destroy this whole building and injure all of us if it is not stable. This same energy is what I used that day to clear of the game spot. What I want is that we all can form a barrier of this energy around us while we venture inside the Dark Creature hotspots. This way we will be able to stay safe and venture for long enough."

Everyone was surprised, they did hear that You Xi Wang did something wicked but how they were unaware. It was also unexpected that You Xi Wang will tell them his secret. This should how much he trusted in them and this also increased the strength of their team. They all were now grateful to him. 

Allan spoke up, "Xiao Wang, Two people are not here. What do we do?"

You Xi Wang replied, "Yuki is taking rest she was hurt in the battle yesterday. As for Gena let us see when she can wake up. As for now. Team 3, 4, and 5. Take the first raid, 6, 7, and 8 take the second raid. Team Two is on stand-by while Team one is missing members so you are to stay at the base. By this I mean I am staying here. I need to receive some ammunition and stuff first. You guys leave. Also, Safety is the priority. I don't care if you move at a snail's pace, but if I heard about causality or serious injury. You will regret your decision to come here. Dismissed."

The squad saluted him and left to get the tasks done. They all had one hour before leaving for the raids. But they also had to form new teams as well. This was the task left to the technicians cause they knew their teammates better. 

You Xi Wang walked out of the squad hall and Allan followed him. The red-haired boy said, "Xiao Wang, you got a minute?"

You Xi Wang asked, "Yeah bro, wassup?"

Allan sighed and looked around then he said, "Let's take a walk."

You Xi Wang nodded and the two people walked ahead to the sparring field. Allan asked, "Do you not think that telling your secret can create problems?"

You Xi Wang smiled and said, "Bro, I get what you mean but if a secret is made public then it has no value. In the squad, we need people to come together and grow stronger. don't worry nothing will go wrong. We are the Wrath Squad, and we together we are strong."

The system inside his mind cried, [APES TOGETHER STRONG]
