Selene, calm and poised, stepped forward.
"Captain, if I may?"
Tina gave a curt nod.
Selene continued, "How about we move in two smaller squads? One Shield Breaker, two Dashers, and a Blaster per group. That way, we have balanced attack units. We attack from the two different fronts"
Tina's eyes narrowed, then slowly she nodded.
"A good strategy... for a newbie. We'll go with it. But if this works or fails—you take half the responsibility. Do you agree?"
Selene hesitated, blinking.
"Captain… this is just a mock battle, right? We're still learning…"
Tina's aura flared like a bursting furnace. Crimson light flared from her eyes as her voice boomed—sharp and fiery like a dragon's roar.
"This is not a game."
Her gaze swept over every member of Team A, like molten lava threatening to consume weakness.
"If we lose, we lose everything. Respect. Our place. Our rights. And worst of all—we get sent to the frontlines as disposables."
Selene's jaw clenched.
