Chapter 181: Waking Everyone Up

'This is going to be fun,' the old man suddenly said, 'that dean didn't know he gave you such a golden chance, hahaha.'

The old man read the current thoughts of Jim and couldn't help but say.

'He never expected the answer was already ready for his provocations,' Jim inwardly laughed, 'let us aim for a bigger impact then. I have to find Lim, and this news must spread like fire all over the academy.'

Jim moved fast, even ran until he arrived at his mansion. The morning tour with the meeting didn't take longer than an hour.

So when he arrived there he found everyone sleeping still. "Where are you?" he stood in front of the messy place while feeling puzzled.

"Wake up," he didn't hesitate to kick the big body of Rick who hastily opened his eyes and jumped off the ground.

"What do you want? Stay away you bastar… it's you Jim…" Rick was enraged at first but when he realized it was Jim who awakened him he gazed at a strange way towards him.

"Go and wash up now," Jim seriously said, "and wake everyone up… find Lim as well."

"He went to sleep at his place," Rick rubbed his eyes before turning around, "it was such a hell of a party, hehehe."

"Go, we have no time to waste," Jim stressed, "I'll wait for all of you upstairs. Bring only our core team, alright?"

"What's the rush?" Rick yawned, "What's the time now? I'm pretty sure it's too early," he glanced around while squeezing his eyes.

"Go," Jim hit him on the side, "don't slack, I'll wait for all of you upstairs."

"I'll bring them and come up," he yawned again, "if they only listened to my words."

"If they didn't come then I would kick them out of the team, effective immediately!"

This time Rick was jolted awake. "I'm not joking," Jim turned and left him stupefied while moving upstairs.

He didn't awaken the girls, after all last night had its toll even over him.

And in less than ten minutes his core team stood in sleepy faces and puffy red eyes while their heads were still soaked with water.

"You called for us captain?" Pat yawned, "is it about the team?"

"Can't we sleep and discuss it later?" Deno yawned and even closed his eyes for a brief second.

"I just met the dean of the academy," Jim said and the eyes of his men turned out wide instantly.

"Is this for real?" Kro shouted, "Did he ask for you to come?"

"Will we be rewarded?" Rick hurriedly shouted as well.

"Easy boys," Jim was surprised that they mistook his meaning, "this wasn't a friendly meeting at all."

"What?" many exclaimed in doubt while Lan asked:

"What did he summon you for?"

"He… just brought me for a trial," Jim said, "and at the end he declared war upon the entire inner campus."

"…"

They didn't understand his meaning well and so he had to start narrating what happened. He knew they lacked the essential info about what happened before he joined them at the pitch for training.

And so he had to start from there and end up with what happened today, intentionally dropping anything related to the fighting group.

"That…" Kro's face turned red instantly, "he is just crazy!"

"We need to do something boss," Deno said, "we can't respond to these threats."

"We will have it hard," Roo sighed, "we have many enemies and little friends."

And others nodded in agreement.

"That's why I've awakened you," Jim calmly said.

"But… we need to think deeper about our options," Rick said while others nodded, "I doubt we have a single idea in our heads right now."

"We need time to adapt to such a grave news boss," Pat said, "we also need some sleep."

"Have the masters said anything to you?" Gordan suddenly said, "they should have a plan or two to help us."

"There is a plan," Jim slowly said, "but I'm the one responsible for it, not any master."

"You've a plan, boss?" Deno screamed in surprise, "that's cool! I can't even think about what happened and that threat, but you already got a plan ready… that's awesome!"

Jim ignored Deno's overreaction and turned to Pat. "You are our fastest, go and find Lim. Bring him to me and make sure you won't be delayed."

Pat nodded. "What if he asked for more info?" he asked in doubt.

"This is the task I want everyone here to do," Jim's face turned vicious, "I want you all to think of a way to inform every single disciple in the outer and inner campus about what the dean said."

And the team glanced in extreme shock towards him.

"Are… Are we allowed to do that?" Rick was speechless like others before asking.

"The dean said these words in public, and so it's alright to repeat his own words to everyone," Jim evilly said and the team realized all of sudden how big Jim was aiming to score here.

"What's the plan boss?" Kro couldn't help but ask.

"We are going to form a special group," Jim calmly said, "a group where I'll teach everyone how to fight and train to become stronger. This group will work together to make our odds of survival higher in the next expedition."

And this time their shock turned in no time into a realization… Their boss wasn't only aiming to survive, but also to beat everyone and score a very advanced ranking.

"That's… great plan boss," Roo said in admiration, "but that dean… the masters and him can't touch us, but their disciples can."

"They might even attack our meeting and destroy the place," Rick added.

"If they had the guts to do that then I swear to fight to the end against them!" Deno shouted in challenge while Jim could only shake his head.

"They won't be able to do that, and you'll know everything in time. Now we need to act fast before that dean and his arrogant core campus faction move to contain the news."

He turned to Pat and nodded, "go now, and don't return except with Lim in your hands."

Pat left hurriedly before Jim turned to the others and asked: "What ideas do you have to spread this news to everyone?"
