Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

When I finished my words and sat down, a moment of silence descended upon the dinner table.

That’s natural.

Wasn’t it a place where each of them appealed to the reason why they should be the captain?

It is obvious how my words would have been received.

“Does that mean you’re stronger than us?”

The noble knight’s question was revealed through his hard mouth.

I replied with a smile.

“You got it right.”

It was a judgment that there was no need to deny it.

It’s not that I said anything wrong.

“…….”

Surprisingly, the surroundings were quiet despite my bold reply.

The aristocratic knight seemed to want to shoot at me, but he seemed to hold back his words for the sake of the face of the marquis next to him.

Swoop.

In that sense, when I glanced at the marquis once, our eyes met.

Surprisingly, the Marquis was not averse to my behavior, but rather was looking at me with interest, his eyes shining.

Well then what about the other kids?

I glanced around and saw that the eyes were focused on me with different feelings.

“Please, I hope you have at least half of that arrogance. A skilled servant is always welcome.”

Hostility born of displeasure.

It belonged to a noble knight.

“Hoho, all men of that age are like that. Why do you like me because I’m manly?”

Contrary to his refreshing voice, his gaze clearly reflected his pathetic heart.

It belonged to a dwarf aunt.

“I’ve heard of Lichen Shuitz. They say they’re called the man after the blood spirit?”

As if analyzing with deep curiosity, the gaze at me was that of the vice-captain of the Sawtooth Clan.

“…….”

Jun, a paladin of Tovera religion, stared at me with surprisingly emotionless eyes.

Doesn’t seem worth worrying about?

I don’t know, but the attention that was fixed on me is scattered and each other’s gaze moves as if exploring each other.

Now that you’ve finished introducing yourself, you’re probably making a decision.

Who would be the biggest obstacle to getting to the position of captain?

“It’s a happy place, but the atmosphere has become heavy. Everyone has said aloud, so let’s have a meal.”

Just in time, the Marquis came out to ventilate the room, and everyone continued their conversation while sharing a meal.

Oh sure, it wasn’t a friendly atmosphere.

“Everyone knows. One of us will be in the position to lead them all. You know, a heavy duty position.”

A place where you have to take responsibility for the lives of a total of 30 people.

However, there was no one here who did not know that the moment they sat there, they would see enormous benefits.

Even for me, the Marquis promised a lot of support.

“So what does Lord Kaislan mean? We don’t deserve it?”

The dwarf lady made it clear that she had no intention of giving up the position in a quiet tone.

“Keuheum I just wanted to check. If you really know what it means.”

The article licks his lips as if regretting whether he considered Ajumma his biggest competitor.

“Haha, I think I know what that means. I also had to be weighed down by a lot of responsibilities and obligations until I reached the position of vice-captain.”

Not missing this moment, the vice-captain also quietly appealed to him about his career.

Hey, what a nerve war.

“I’ll ask you straight-forward, but is Joon-joon greedy for his position?”

“Nothing is more fleeting than human emotions. Everything will be as God wills it.”

In a way, it sounds like you are going to stand in the position of a bystander.

At this, the knight’s expression brightened.

Just until the paladin continued to speak.

“But it seems to me that among them, the one who comes closest to God’s will is me.”

He talked about God and all for a long time, but in the end, he meant that he would also participate in this competition.

Perhaps because he knew that the paladin’s backbone was the Three Faiths, the knight’s expression was a little more deeply troubled.

He seems to have judged that this is also a big competitor…

“I see.”

why don’t you ask me?

sad people.

***

After the war of nerves that seemed to be interfering with each other.

The knight nodded once with a determined look in his eyes, and soon took the lead in the conversation.

“There’s a lot of people who want it, but only one place. In the end, we’ll have to decide which of us is more qualified.”

“Oh, I hear you say you have a way of thinking?”

“First of all, how about telling each other what the ideal commander is?”

To put it simply, it means to get to know each other’s tendencies a little more.

“It’s good. If that’s enough.”

The dwarf lady and the vice-captain readily agreed to the knight’s proposal, and the paladin and I did not vote against it, and the matter proceeded.

“I’m the one who spoke, so I’ll do it first.”

As expected, the first person to come out was a knight who liked to go out from the beginning.

He declared with a loud voice like a soldier.

“Originally, a group cannot demonstrate its true value if it cannot move as one body. I think the most important quality for a commander is leadership.”

“That’s too abstract. What do you think leadership means exactly?”

“It is the power that creates and maintains discipline. Control begins there. A perfectly dominated force will have no superfluity to advance towards a set goal.”

I already remembered the time when this guy became the leader.

A group that inflexibly intervenes in every case and loses individual freedom and individuality.

Soon after, the guy spoke passionately, explaining what kind of group he wanted to create and what its strengths were.

and how long has it been

“It’s over.”

As soon as the knight’s turn was over, the dwarf lady took the next turn.

“I’ve heard good things. Then I’ll do the next one.”

Unlike the article’s story, which was too stereotypical, I was quite interested in this woman’s words.

First of all, aren’t you from the top explorer?

What do people like this place the greatest value on?

“Since ancient times, problems in the labyrinth have been solved by the hands of explorers. Even historically, there were very few military interventions like now. Why?”

“It’s because the royal family respects the ways of explorers.”

“There may be that, but in fact, I think it’s more efficient from the royal family’s point of view. It’s not strange no matter what happens in the labyrinth. We needed talent who could cope with all situations, and that was the explorer. In the first place, it was difficult to operate hundreds of thousands of troops in the labyrinth. Because there are too many flaws.”

“So Aqlava, do you mean that the ideal commander you think is an explorer?”

“I don’t mean that. I just think that if someone has to lead in the labyrinth, that person needs a wealth of knowledge and experience about the labyrinth, as well as the judgment to actively deal with it.”

The qualities that the dwarf lady demanded were quite convincing.

To be honest, I thought it would be much safer to be under this lady than that bastard knight.

Well, that wasn’t a problem, though.

“Excuse me, but don’t Aquraba-senpai have no conducting experience?”

The dwarf lady frowned at the vice-captain’s words.

At first, it seemed that he did not know that his juniors, who were talking about respected seniors, would drink water in this way.

However, while the lady was glaring at him, the vice-captain finished everything he had to say.

“Even when I was doing team activities in the past, I know that he did all the conducting.”

“…I had experience leading a team before that.”

“I see. But leading a team and leading a large group of 30 people are two different things.”

And he’s a total noob too.

Actually, it’s funny to argue with seniors and other moral feelings in a business setting.

“Anyway, I’m done with my story, so the third turn will be James Carla.”

“There is no reason to take it off.”

This was the value he offered after taking over the turn while putting down the dwarf lady.

“No matter what, the most important thing for a commander is intelligence. Aakuraba-senpai said, right? You have to be able to actively deal with any situation.”

“So what?”

“If you have information in advance, it is possible to avoid such a situation. Even if you are in a crisis, you have more options to choose from.”

The vice-captain looked at the dwarf lady and continued talking, probably for the purpose of containment.

But wouldn’t this look absurd?

“Certainly not wrong. If you have that much intelligence.”

The dwarf lady responded more nervously than usual, and the vice-captain immediately opened her mouth as if she had induced this reaction.

“Behind me is the Arminus Firm and the Explorers’ Guild. Of course, that doesn’t mean I can perfectly understand everything in the world, but……” “……” “At least

among

these, my return It seems to be the brightest.”

At that, the Dwarf lady couldn’t refute anything.

Well, if the Arminus Company or the Explorers Guild were their backing ships, they would be able to collect more information than the royal family only in the Labyrinth.

Although it may show some weakness in the advanced information side.

“I’m here, so who will do it next?”

“I will do it.”

Next to the vice-captain was the paladin Jun, who started giving us a long speech as if he were preaching like a priest attending mass. “Everything starts with faith

, and

the commander is no different. Strong faith and trust create the courage to resist any evil…”

“The world is full of trials. Some overcome them, others get frustrated and lose faith. But do you know?”

His eyes are also full of passion unlike before.

At first, I thought he was just a wooden person.

“Those who overcame trials were always those who kept their faith. Only faith can bring others together, and only such a united faith can save us from trials.”

After all, I get tired of repeating the same words over and over again.

“Haam…….”

I was yawning involuntarily, but the paladin glared at me with his mouth shut.

“The talk about my faith seems boring.”

Wouldn’t it be boring then?

As if asking for something, the paladin narrowed his brows.

“Then how about you tell me now?”

Soon after, when the paladin tried to pass the turn to me, the side next to me liked it more.

“Yeah, I’d love to do that.”

“Yes. I was curious anyway.”

It seems that they were also bored with talking about faith.

“Leechen Schuitz, who do you think should be the commander?”

The vice-captain asked me.

There was a subtle hint in his voice, as if he was not looking at a single competitor, but dealing with a citizen who would vote for him.

No, isn’t that just him?

“If it’s your disposition that I showed you earlier, it seems you want a ruler who can lead you strongly.”

An article that gently appeals to itself.

“If you were a soldier, you could have done that. If you are an explorer, you won’t be unaware of how important the part I said is.”

When the article came out, the dwarf lady quickly joined in as well. She

laughed at her absurdity.

Why do you expect me to agree with them? “…why

are

you laughing

?

”

Of

course it is. ?” While they were arguing so far, I had finished the meal, chewing the meat vigorously, rinsing off the seasoning by

washing my hands.

Then

…

Putting the cup down on the table, he said, ”

Thump.

A heavy impact sounded over the dinner table.

But no one flinched.

“Haa… I thought it would be like this.

” I guess you could say that.”

The gaze seemed to be pathetic somewhere.

All of them were introverts.

Or they lacked imagination

. Do you think you can convince us that way?”

“Uh.”

“Because of the old saying, being the boss is only possible… What?”

“Is there any reason you can’t convince us?”

Now I’ll be full. “Stop teasing your tongue and attack me.”

As I jumped up from my seat and said, the knight who was staring at me was taken aback.

There is also a marquis, but I wonder if it’s okay to do this. “I have

no

intention of interfering with whichever method you choose.”

Marquis, who fully agrees with me as to whether he has decided to entrust me.

“I see,”

I shrugged, and the dwarf lady said sarcastically,

“Even if you fight him and win, we won’t acknowledge you. If a person who only believes in strength can stand in such a position—”

What did this lady say again.

“Would you have understood if I had said something else?”

That’s the root reason I said what they were doing earlier was a waste of time

.

control. Judgment from experience. Extensive information gathering capabilities. And trust.”

The

qualities

of a commander mentioned by the previous

four .

Does this exist?”

What everyone wants cannot be obtained through agreement.

Especially if what is posted on the newsstand is worth that illusion.

But…

“Are you saying that you are different?”

“Yes.”

Force is different . ”

So come on.”

“Don’t do anything stupid. Even if you really beat him—” He

won’t admit it.

That’s about it, I know.

But …

“Who said there was only one?”

I was informed that

if there is a case where the consent of the other person cannot be obtained by force.

It is only.

“All.”

It is only if the person lacks force.

” …?”

I grinned at the four men and women who seemed to be looking at each other,

“Let’s all fight together.”

There is no magician among the four.
