Echoes of Legacy

"The Commander's Directive"

As soon as everyone had gathered in the hall, Ren took his place at the microphone, standing tall and commanding the attention of the room.

"Good morning, everyone," Ren began, his voice firm and clear. "Today, we'll be dividing the mission members into four groups. Each group will have its own captain, assistant, and dedicated team members. The entire operation will be overseen by our superior head, Mr. Ayumu," he paused, nodding to acknowledge Ayumu, "and myself, as the commander, Mr. Ren."

The room remained quiet, the air thick with anticipation as Ren continued. "Now, for the first group. The captain will be Mr. Hiroto."

Hiroto, calm and composed, stepped onto the stage as Ren turned to him. With a firm handshake, Ren handed him a badge, signifying his leadership role. Hiroto nodded, standing next to Ren as the attention shifted back to the commander.

"Assisting Mr. Hiroto will be Miss Julie."

Julie entered the stage confidently, and Ren gave her a badge as well. She smiled briefly, taking her place beside Hiroto.

Ren resumed, "Their team will consist of Chestnut, Cotton, Mark, Bob, Robo, Sindy, and fifty additional members from TEAM II."

A ripple of acknowledgment ran through the hall as those called silently nodded, preparing themselves for the tasks ahead. The atmosphere was serious, with everyone realizing the weight of their responsibilities for the upcoming mission.

Ren continued, his voice steady and authoritative as he moved on to the next group.

"The second group will be led by Mrs. Zeo as the captain."

Zeo, with her usual poise and confidence, walked onto the stage. Ren handed her the captain's badge with a firm nod of approval. She accepted it, her expression calm yet determined, before stepping aside to make room for her assistant.

"Her assistant will be Mr. Joseph."

Joseph approached the stage, slightly more serious than usual, accepting the badge from Ren. His sharp eyes scanned the room before he stood beside Zeo, ready for the challenge ahead.

Ren then listed the team members for the second group, "Their team will consist of Anabella, Brownie, Icey, Rose, Tina, Xiang, and fifty additional members from TEAM I."

The named members subtly acknowledged their roles, mentally preparing for their part in the mission. The room remained tense and focused as Ren prepared to announce the third group.

Ren glanced at the crowd, pausing for a moment before making his next announcement.

"The captain of the third group," Ren said with a hint of pride, "will be Jack."

Jack strode onto the stage, his posture effortlessly confident, radiating his usual model-like charisma. Though he was still young to lead a team, his experience with missions since his pre-teen years made him more than capable. As Ren handed Jack the badge, there was a brief exchange of acknowledgment between them. Jack stood tall, adjusting the badge with his usual air of professionalism.

Ren continued, "His assistant will be Shinobu."

Shinobu, slightly less accustomed to missions than Jack, but still determined, made his way onto the stage. He accepted the badge from Ren with a mix of nervousness and resolve. Though young, he was eager to prove himself in the field.

Ren resumed the briefing, his voice steady, "Their team members will be Jun, Gaku, Asahi, Izumi, and ten new trainees."

The group members nodded slightly, already preparing mentally for the tasks ahead. The room remained focused, the weight of the mission growing heavier as Ren prepared to announce the final group.
