The World We Do Not Know - 119 New Squad

“Ashura senpou?” Faust asks in a puzzled voice, but he did not notice the buzz in the background. Every member standing in the hall is whispering to each other about the new cloak. And a single person claps in back while the entire hall is silent.

Caitlyn cannot hold her excitement and claps quickly as she sees Faust wearing a senpou class Cloak. Later, she realizes that she is the only one clapping like an idiot and refrains herself in embarrassment.

‘Ashura Senpou’ is a class, among few given to a certain captain or generals. If a captain or general is in any of these classes, then they are treated as a high priority. There are four classes among this rarity.

The first class is ‘shisu’ – A mortal’s level, the captains and generals in this class have permission to wander into 1-5 dimensions with their squads. They get two elemental stones of their desired attributes once every three months.

The second class and a class higher than Shisu is ‘Fumetsu’ – Immortal’s level, the captains and generals in this class have the same permissions as Shisu’s. Additionally, they have access till the eighth dimension as well. Meaning, they can access 1-8 dimensions with their squads. They receive four elemental stones for every three months

The third class and the class higher than Shisu and Fumetsu is ‘Senpou’ – Divine level, the captains and generals in this class have the same permissions as Shisu and Fumetsu. Additionally, they also have access up to the eleventh dimension. Meaning, they can access 1-11 dimensions with their squads. They receive six elemental stones for every three months.

The last and final class is ‘Ten’ – Heavenly level, only generals above three stars will be given this level of honour. This is also the highest class of all. They get can wander into any dimension, with or without a squad and they have additional permission to the twelfth dimension. They get six elemental stones for every three months.

“Starting today, you are a captain of Senpou class. Looking forward to seeing great achievements from your squad.”

“And also, for coming out on top of all houses, your squad will be given a  free wish. You can ask me for anything and you will get it.” Hades explains to Faust and his squad.

This is the moment Faust and his squad is waiting for the entire time. This has not happened, according to Tsumugi’s plan. She is ready to leave the house for the sake of keeping their family alive, but after the first day of purge, seeing how Faust and his squad came out on top of everyone.

Tsumugi and everyone thought of something. The winner of the purge gets ten elemental stones along with a wish that they could ask for other than for weapons or resources. They could ask for a member, house, rare items or anything they want.

The first thought that hits the members is if they win the second round of purge as well and come out on top, they will be given a wish. And they can ask for Tsumugi back as the leader of their house and everything will be back to normal.

“Ask me anything that you wish for.” Hades exclaims and a faint smirk surface on the lips of Faust.

“Can we please have Lady Tsumugi back as the leader of our house please?” Faust closes his eyes and bows his head in front of Hades with sincerity

Hades is surprised by the sudden change of Faust. He recovers and with a casual smile, he replies. “Of course, I said anything, didn’t I? Ha-ha.”

Faust smiles and the whole squad starts celebrating and thank each other. “Guys, we need to behave in front of our general.” Tsumugi comes from behind and mutters in a low voice due to the indecent behaviour of her kids.

“Ha-ha, it’s okay! Please also collect your share of ten elemental stones from Robert and enjoy the party.” Hades directs Tsumugi and her family towards the person who is in charge of the elemental stones of the house.

“Congrats Tsumugi.” Queen Uzume congratulates her sister for becoming the leader of her branch again.

Tsumugi gracefully bows her head facing both Hades and Uzume, before going to Robert with her two captains. “I’m so happy for you Fab, you made it as a captain finally.” Faust and Fab holds each other arm in arm while walking. Both of their eyes are flooded with tears due to happiness.

“By the way, where are we heading to Auntie?” Faust asks as he and Fab are walking behind her.

“We are going to collect our winning prize, ten elemental stones.”

“Only ten? Didn’t they say my captain class gets like 4-6 elemental stones for every two months?” Faust tries to assess the situation.

“You are given that class, not only because you performed well, but it’s also because our family came out as a winner. If we haven’t won, Fab wouldn’t have become a captain or you would be in that class.” Tsumugi explains. The first rule to give a captain or a general, a class of their own is that they have to be in the top three branches of the family or they must be the winner of the purge.

*”I don’t know where this family would be if I had lost that match. It was an important one.”* Faust says to himself.

–

“Oh! If it isn’t Lady Tsumugi, I heard the news that you are coming to visit me. I did not expect it would be so fast. Let me search for your prize and bring it to you.” Robert, the supplier and trader of elemental stones.

Shortly, Robert hands over a pouch of ten elemental stones to Tsumugi. Seven out of the 10 are of different attributes and the remaining three are green elemental stones. Faust notices that there is no black elemental stone that he uses, but he did not say anything.

“We like to sell seven of these and take one green and two reds.” Tsumugi wants to sell all of the stones other than one green, which is a spare for Rachel, who uses a sniper with green elemental stone and two red ones, each one for Fab and Jonathan.

Faust is surprised, but Fab looks casually as if this is something they do all the time. “Oh yes, I forgot I’m the trader as well who takes in elemental stones for money.” Robert is a trader for the branches of the family. Every squad can bring the elemental stones that they collected from other dimensions and trade them with Robert for money. Later, the elemental stones go to the main building, who sells them to military and saves some to create weapons and conduct experiments.

“Uh, no Auntie, sell only five. We need five stones of different attributes.” Faust intervenes between Tsumugi and Robert.

“Huh? Why do we need five stones, each with different attributes?” Tsumugi turns towards Faust to ask him. At the same time, Robert glares at Faust with an evil face. His kind old man vibes are completely taken over by his poisons cunning vibes.

“It’s because I’m trying to recruit new soldiers into our house.” A small curve forms on the corner of Faust’s lips.
