Marin clapped once and pulled all attention towards him.
A warm smile stretched across his face, and he said, "Now now, you all didn't come here to stare at that forest, did you? Pick up the squad you want to be part of."
The trainees nodded, and one by one, they walked over to the squad leader they wanted to join.
At the end, only Rion, Kahrun and Yuura were the ones who hadn't picked up a squad.
Marin frowned and questioned them all, "Why are you three just standing there?"
"I'll be with Rion," Kahrun answered while staring at Rion.
A smirk appeared on Yuura's face, and he replied, "Same, I want to pay him back for helping me during the ritual of youth."
Marin nodded and asked, "What about you, Rion? Why are you standing there?"
Rion took a deep breath and cursed inwardly, 'Fuck it!'
He pointed a finger at Zukah and spat, "I want to challenge him to become a squad leader."
