Chapter 52 - Elite Gaurd Meeting Begin

In a small court room were the locations of the Mr. N's Elite Gaurd. 

As the lieutenants bickered among themselves, it became clear that they all knew one another.

#5, also known as The Hero, had lieutenants who were unusually friendly with #9's lieutenants, and the same went for #'4's lieutenants. The familiarity ran deep, shared history surfacing in offhand remarks and casual jabs.

Allen Pool's liutenants felt out of place. 

They were European, fitted in rigid Templar armor, polished steel, the best of the best. 

However their contemporaries were dressed casually, some of them even looking like teenagers and vloggers. 

Allen's first lieutenant, Eric, was tall and broad shouldered, the kind of man who seemed to fill whatever space he stood in. Someone you knew was too serious for their own good.

He looked down slightly as he spoke, "Just how many lieutenants came out of Mr. N's hero rehabilitation school?" 

Beside him stood Davidz, younger and of average height, if Eric was a brawler Davidz was the versatile strategist, slimmer in frame, his armor still pristine even of higher quality than Eric's.

Allen Pool's head was resting on the table, his hoodie covering his head he heard his Liutenants muttering to each other behind him.

Davidz shifted his weight, clearly uncomfortable, glancing around the room before answering. His eyes land on 2 different female liutenants "It's way more students than usual. We're practically the only ones here who didn't come from the school, acting as lieutenants in Mr. N's army," ~Davidz

"The more strong legitimate veterans that die, the more well marketed students replace them" Eric said, disappointment, clear in his voice as he stood there feeling painfully out of place. 'What exactly is Mr. N's plan here?' he thought to himself.

A jolly voice interrupted their train of thought however

"So friends! Whos still missing."

A bright smile appeared infront of his innocent face.

His nose still white the man wiped his nose. 

Elite Guard – Letter "W"

"The Warrior"

Rank: #5

In disgust, his lieutenant Marc squinted his eyes. "You should be ashamed, wearing that outfit and behaving like that."

His 2nd liutenant Victor stayed silent, fully armed.

Unbuttoning his military outfit Warrior smiled as he put his boots up on the desk.

Elite Gaurd Rank 4's liutenant Chloé tried to hide her smile. She always had a crush on Warrior, it's so adorable how he doesnt care about what others think!

So Chloé stood there with her short stature clutching her book wearing all black in religious attire. As if she was attending a funeral.

Aspera finally arrived into the small courtroom, pushing the vertically long bathtub. Her hands trembled. Mr. N's instructions echoed in her head:

"Go on ahead, Aspera. Take Osprey. I just need a word with Liam and Siegfreed. Five minutes."

And Solomon's message followed right after: "I'm closing the medical bay. I'll join you all shortly."

Aspera stuttered while she was talking to Mr. N, but she couldnt say what she wanted to say. Her thoughts rushed through her mind "Im not defying orders sir... but you know they dont respect me...."  Aspera thought, the words tight in her chest.

Mr. N had only smirked, whispering as if reading her mind. "I can't imagine why."

The courtroom was cramped and tense. 5 Elite Guards sat in a semicircle, each with two lieutenants standing at attention behind them.

Aspera sighed acting non-chalant in an effort to keep up her usual gimmick. She walked towards her Rank #10 chair. This is punishment, she thought. Public humiliation… nothing less, all because I fucked up and convinced Osprey to leave the wall.

Most Elite Gaurds were somewhat silent, but there was still tension in the air as alot of them recognized familar faces.

Faces they had seen pretty often as most of them knew each other from school. 

But a few were unrecognizable.

James stood with a black eye covered by his eye patch, He walked with crutches, his arm in a slang.

After snapping and seeing Red agaisnt Demi, James fought with his life on the line.

His skill or rather, his determination, impressed Demi so much that he appointed him as his new lieutenant after defeating him and destroying his bones.

It was a quick fix, considering he had just killed his previous lieutenant "Fina", this was a convenient way to draw attention away from the stark fact, that he now had only one lieutenant.
