Days passed in a whirlwind after I left that meeting. I knew when I made my proposal that if it was accepted would force me into a lot of work. What I didn't expect was the sheer amount of missing pieces that all of it would entail. Being put in charge, I quickly learned some new things about the task I set myself on.

The best way of saying it would be that I didn't have the tools, education, or culture to start working with. The Bunny-kin was all about the strength of the individual and not bringing up the group as a whole. The major problem and what happened with the Bunny-kin is that this brought up the group's strength by believing in these thoughts. It was a vicious circle that would only be temporary, in my opinion. All it took was one or two generations in a row with no major talent to end this type of society or another tribe having a black sheep in talent that overtakes us.

This lead also to fewer people thinking that they need strength as well. A ranks were the major powerholders and the mainstay for defending the Tribe and nation. A tribe without an A rank to their name was weak and unable to defend themselves. A ranks also couldn't be everywhere they were needed and tended to be in strategic locations instead. Take Silvermoon tower with the Elder council. We located all of our A ranks in the place of power and education. Our talent would be located there, making it an absolute stronghold and the city around it from attack in any form.

That wasn't true for the surroundings, though. Most of the time, B rankers and C rankers took care of security. D ranks and E ranks needed to test their mettle against those threats and train against them. There was a better way of doing that, in my opinion, and the way is doing it was counter-intuitive.

All of this started a major issue at the end that I had to deal with. Collective identity was not a thing in this world. It was like I had been transported back to the early ages of my past world before the rise of nationalism. The worst part was that there were nations that thought nationally, like the Demon lands and the Empire. My nation wasn't like that in the end.

This led to a serious need for volunteers that I wasn't getting in national identity. No one wanted to fight for the Beast-kin nation. For the Tribe was another thing, and I had to work with that. Still, the numbers were few, and the people that I had picked up were unemployed coolies that worked at the docks.

That meant that I wasn't getting any educated people that could fit into the middle ring of management and there began the major issue. Education was only for the rich or strong of the Bunny-kin tribe. The lower you were in the city and beyond, the less educated you were. The problem with that is that not all educated people are even smart after that. Meaning I was in an overall serious problem of talent and education for the people that I needed most to have some in the Logistics division of what I hoped to be in the military.

I needed accountants and managers that could safely and easily be relied upon to order the proper things for the military. To know the areas and read maps to find the best routes. Send things before they run out and etcetera. I knew I was missing things also as I felt a headache coming slowly on as I leaned back in a chair. Problems were cropping up faster than answers, and although I could probably find the people to do the lifting, I didn't have the people to get them to lift the right things.

It was a huge issue that would only get worse and worse as time went on, and it would have to be the first main issue that I needed to deal with. Gold was another issue that wasn't even a damn issue, to begin with, because I didn't have the people to order the right things. Then there were people making the armor and counting how many things we needed armor, swords, mana potions, and even more.

The issues were deep, and there was no light at the end of the tunnel at that moment or even in the near future by the looks of it. I knew I would be taking on a challenge of serious difficulty and problems. I outsmarted myself in picking up this impossible or next-to-impossible task.
