Chapter 69 Responsibilities of Team Leaders
  "Avis, there are some things that we all agree on tacitly. You just need to remember to abide by some rules."

After a short period of thinking, Alina made a decision and walked up to Ives pretending to be calm, seemingly leaving a reminder in the other's ear to stop.

"Yes, senior."

Avis, who understood the meaning of Alina's words, immediately put on his signature smile tiredly and nodded in agreement.

"Okay." Seeing that the other party had listened carefully to what she said, Alina nodded with satisfaction and quickly sat down next to the boy, "Let's rest for a while now."

"Senior, can I ask you a question?"

So, taking advantage of this rare break, Ives seized the opportunity and politely took the first step to explore the topic.

"Ah."

Alina glanced lightly at the young man who was still in a state of extreme exhaustion, and nodded indifferently.

"I mean what if," Ives paused, confirming that the other party didn't show any obvious emotional ups and downs before slowly speaking: "Suppose you and I are at the same level, what I just did Does it still break the balance in your opinion?"

"Well..." Alina smiled coquettishly, and then replied helplessly, "Sorry, I can't be your comparison object."

"why?"

Ives asked without hesitation.

"Because I am your leader, and the situation of the leader is very special, which makes a person in this position unable to be a reference for any of you." Alina paused for a moment, raised her eyes and glanced around After confirming that there was nothing unusual around him, he slowed down his speaking speed and continued speaking in a rather earnest tone, "You may think I am spineless, but in fact it is not like that.        Of course, if you are If you want to compete with me personally, Alina Christo, the quasi-great magician of the fire and wind elements, I can respond immediately and tell you the gap between us. But, if you want to compete with us I will never allow comparisons with the leader of the 14th Sage Assistant Team in the Rivia Continent, Wind of the Suzuland.

Because, in my opinion, the reason why the leader is the leader, for the entire team, is a team substitute who stands at the forefront.

For example, Avis, you are currently unable to perform your duties as a [Border Master] due to depletion of magic power. I must take the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of guarding the surrounding environment when the team needs it. For another example, Master Yugiri, who is responsible for fighting in our team, is unable to participate in the battle for some reasons. If any major changes occur on the mainland at this time, as the leader, I must be prepared to rush to the front line at any time.

Therefore, when there is no shortage of personnel, you can treat me as a pure team commander. However, when any member of our team is unable to perform their duties, please treat me as a pure team leader on this basis. Treat him as a second-rate substitute who can temporarily fill his job vacancy. With that said, you should understand, right? "

After listening to the above description, Ives belatedly realized the meaning of what his father told him before he came to Randall, that he must study hard with Suzuran-sama. Thinking about the various temptations he had done before, and comparing the fact that the woman in front of him could repeatedly give him the greatest concessions regardless of past grudges, Avis couldn't help but feel extremely ashamed and regretful.

So, again without thinking, Ives hurriedly stood up holding the wall, straightened his clothes, solemnly made a gentleman's salute to the woman in front of him who he had once despised, and apologized sincerely: "I I am extremely sorry for what I did before, please forgive me for my rudeness and ignorance!"

"I have received your sincerity in apologizing, but it is really unnecessary to make such a big show of force." Alina, who was treated with the highest courtesy, quickly interrupted the young man's bowing action, waved her hands and said indifferently, "After all, If we have this time, it would be more practical to do more practical things, right?"

"Yes, senior!"

With unprecedented respect and gratitude so far, Ives immediately nodded in agreement.

"Then, let's continue with our job."

Seeing that the boy was no longer lost, Ellie nodded with satisfaction and looked back at the dim corridor ahead that seemed to have no end...
