Chapter 210 - Solidified Goals
"No Yuki, they know full well about my strength. They challenged me with that knowledge. Judging from their emblem, there's only 1 clan who would do something like this," said Arthur as he got serious.
"Who is it that did this? I would like to learn the identity of the person who would be so stupid as to challenge your power," Yuki requested.
"It's a clan named FFF. Their real name is Failing F-tier Feathers. They have one of the weirdest clan names in this entire world yet they're not to be messed with. Even though their popularity is much smaller than some of the rest of the clan, they've got the power to back themselves. Out of all the clans, they have the best player level average. Of course my clan would be pretty low since I accept anyone above level 5 for the purpose of leveling up quicker, most of the top tier clans actually make their requirement level 10 or some even level 15," said Arthur.
"Wow, I guess that would explain why there are so many players inside your clan now as compared to any other clans. Of course that's just a hunch since I've never been to any other clan," said Yuki.
"Yes you're right to assume that. In the end, I still benefit so I won't complain about it. The problem is with FFF, the reason why they're not popular is because of their entry level requirement. That being level 25 to enter. Right now, they have almost 50 members. You must understand how insane that is right? Even their lowest members would be able to keep up with someone with your power," said Arthur as he began to make things clear for Yuki.
"However, it doesn't just stop there. The worst part is that their top 10 members are all currently level 37 to level 38. There's a rumour that says that the top 10 members of FFF all dungeon raid together. That said, that would mean that they're all dungeon addicts like you. The only reason there's even a one level gap between some of the top 10 is because someone would get sick every so often which would force them to take a break. Even so, the rest of the top 10 go on into the dungeon and clear as many stages or dungeons as possible. ``No Yuki, they know full well about my strength. They challenged me with that knowledge. Judging from their emblem, there's only 1 clan who would do something like this," said Arthur as he got serious. possible while their member is sick. They're a ruthless group of people," said Arthur as he spoke to Yuki in the room which the top 5 members of his own guild were in.
"So what have you done to prepare for this battle?" Yuki asked his clan leader.
"Of course the obvious answer is to agree to the clan war and prepare for a large-scale battle. However I would like to avoid losing so many people in the battle, that could greatly reduce the number of exp I gain per week which would also make me valuable for someone to gain more levels than me," Arthur explained to Yuki.
"So this is all so that you can be greedy?! Anyway, you should actually come up with a plan for this. They seem to be pretty capable players, losing even once could mean that you have to give up on all your goals," Yuki replied which forced Arthur to make a confused face.
"What do you mean? There's only one right way to deal with this type of insult! We don't allow our pride to be wounded even once. Well deal
with the one way we know how! With battle!" Arthur yelled out which made all of the top 5 players stand up from the couch and line up before standing up straighter than a ruler.
"Yes sir!" they replied with a strong shout.
"Oh right. Sometimes I forget that he's a clan leader for the most infamous clan in the world. I've got to give him credit where it's deserved. I can't believe that someone like him managed to be born with such charisma. I want to have that...'' Yuki began to think to himself.
"I want charisma. I want to have the power to get people to join behind me. I want people to follow me. No, I don't just want it. I need it! I need to become a leader!" Yuki thought to himself as he was transported into his own world of thoughts.
"Yuki? Are you even listening to me?" Arthur asked Yuki as he noticed that his right hand man was spacing out.
"Huh? Sorry I was distracted for a moment, what were you saying again?" Yuki replied which made Arthur get an irritated look on his face.
"I was talking about how I could probably buy you a couple weeks. About 8 weeks to be exact. Would it be possible for you to go and do your magical endless training sessions in the dungeons and come back to us once you have the power to completely overwhelm all our enemies? Do it just like when you did to defend Scar from being stolen from your group!" Arthur told Yuki with an overjoyed expression.
"So you just think of me as a machine that doesn't have a life so you could use me whenever you want to fight your battles?! That's very bold of you to request that I should fight your battles instead of you doing it on your own. After all they're after you, not me," Yuki harshly replied which made Arthur quickly apologize.
"No, no, that's not what I meant at all. I didn't mean to offend you, good sir. I would never dream of doing something so animalistic," Arthur replied as he bowed down to Yuki.
"Please forgive my insolence, it shall never happen again sire. However I would like to ask once again for your help. I know I'm stepping out of line right now but without you, many people will be lost on our side. Neither side would truly win as they would have too many casualties. As such, another clan will just come in and clean up the winner as such, both clans will be completely erased. That's why there aren't many clan wars in this world. It's basically a suicide mission," said Arthur.
"Should I really help this guy? I mean after all, he treated me like trash when I arrived here. I had to work so hard to find out what was taking place behind the backs of everyone and he had betrayed me many times. I have no reason to help him. I should just let him die," Yuki thought to himself as he prepared to reject the request of Arthur and even leave the clan since it would be destroyed soon anyway.
"Wait!" Yuki yelled out loud by accident.
"But no one has even said anything yet?" Arthur asked as he was confused by the sudden yell which Yuki had made.
"Arthur, I would be willing to help you defeat the FFF clan. In fact I would be so glad to help you out that I will not even take a single break," Yuki began to speak.
"I'm happy with you agreeing but what caused the sudden change in attitude, just a moment ago you looked like you were going to coldly reject my proposal but now you look very excited to take the challenge on," Arthur said with a confused tone.
"Of course nothing is free. Just like everything in this world, there's a catch to everything. Under the condition that I go and train endlessly for the next 8 weeks then come back to defeat the FFF clan all on my own, I would like you to hand over the ownership over this clan along with all its members and money to me," Yuki proposed his insane idea and began to watch as the events which he predicted took place.
"Are you insane?! Are you seriously demanding to take over my clan? The thing that I've worked so hard to create. Are you really telling me to give up all the endless hours of planning and strategizing that took place to form this magnificent place? You must think I'm some sort of idiot!" Arthur began to yell at Yuki who just stood there and took all of it with a smile.
"Because if you thought that, you're absolutely right. You can take the clan if you manage to defeat FFF all on your own in 8 weeks time," said Arthur, who had actually caught Yuki by surprise as he didn't expect that to be so easy.
"What? Why, though? I thought you would put up more of a challenge?" Yuki asked as he wanted to know what made the decision so easy for Arthur.
"Yuki, do you remember what I told you when we were coming back from our little visit to Adam?" Arthur said as he winked at Yuki which made him remember that Arthur was a pure psychopath.
