Chapter 359: Chapter 89 Sudden Change in Seven Draws_1
“Boss!”
The next morning, Link, accompanied by Jasmine, visited the residence of the group “Do Whatever You Want.”
The Brotherhood Group, who hadn’t seen him in a while, started shouting excitedly as soon as they saw him.
“Boss, good morning! Boss Lady, hi!”
The Social Phobia Group was noticeably more cheerful, even taking the initiative to greet him.
“Good morning, Boss.”
The new blood recruited last term hadn’t had much interaction with Link, but they weren’t shy.
“Good, good morning everyone!”
Link responded, walking into the residence surrounded by the crowd.
Like the moon held by the stars.
The first place Jasmine took Link to was the honor room of “Do Whatever You Want.”
Since the academy didn’t award trophies or similar items, Jasmine had some made herself.
She displayed all the excellent rankings that “Do Whatever You Want” had achieved in the two-zone competition of each grade from when Link won the first place in the first-grade competition until this term.
A portrait of Link, along with his resume, was also hung on the wall.
What stood out was that Link had used less than a year to transform from an unknown Storm Sea New Blood to a First-Class Official Wizard.
After visiting the honor room, Jasmine took Link to his designated office.
The Brotherhood Group, the Social Phobia Group, and the six new blood members all gave way, scattering away in merriment.
“How is it? Did I do a good job!”
Inside the office, Jasmine couldn’t wait to ask. Like a little girl showing off her precious toy, she waited for praise.
“Very good! Absolutely amazing!”
Link gave her due credit this time, clapping his hands in appreciation.
He was sincere. Especially the setup of the honor room and the display of Link’s portrait and resume inside it helped augment Link’s influence over “Do Whatever You Want” and strengthened the group’s affinity to Link.
Was this easy to do?
Easy!
But not many can do it well.
Shaping the culture of a group is never an easy task.
“Humph! Of course.”
Jasmine raised her chin slightly, looking smug.
If she had a tail, it would probably be wagging up in the sky.
Getting a sincere compliment from the expressionless Link wasn’t easy.
She was very pleased.
Afterward, Link stayed at the residence of “Do Whatever You Want” for half a day, chatted warmly with the Brotherhood Group, the Social Phobia Group, and the six new blood members, asking about their well-being and answering their questions.
In summary, he wanted to increase his presence among them.
Having participated in a recruitment and learned about the Palo Sage army and the Heavenly World, Link understood that in this Wizard World, the power one holds develops in stages.
Even if one becomes a Sage, they can’t do it alone. They need the support of others.
These “other” people consist of superiors and subordinates, but mostly subordinates.
A Sage commanding an army in the Heavens cannot do without the help provided by the direct line members of the organization they belong to.
In other words, they cannot do without their services.
As a new blood from the Stormy Sea, Link must follow in the footsteps of Sage Palo- create his own organization, recruit members, and train them.
This is a path that needs continuous management for decades.
An accumulation of primal capital.
There can be no slack along the way.
When Sage Palo was ready to promote, he focused on collecting merit from the academy to exchange for promotion resources for a few years. He called all his competent hands to his main force and neglected the control of the New Blood Mutual Aid Association.
The rapid decline of the New Blood Mutual Aid Association is a very typical example of this.
Since Jasmine had hit her limit at the third-class wizard apprentice level, the director of “Do Whatever You Want” needed to be replaced.
This would enable Jasmine to focus on breaking through.
The entire Brotherhood Group, all with lower fifth rank’s aptitude, had become third-class wizard apprentices and should focus on advancing to official wizards. They should not waste time.
Although the three members of the Social Phobia Group had become more open, their nature was still not enough to take up the responsibility of management.
Especially given the upcoming expansion of “Do Whatever You Want.”
Therefore, Link had to select the next manager of “Do Whatever You Want” from the six new blood members.
Link was chatting and lecturing, but he was also observing.
Among these six, who would be a better leader?
At noon, all members of “Do Whatever You Want” went to an in-school club for a team-building lunch.
Link publicly appeared, so naturally people saw him.
The news of the “missing person” Link Grande’s return spread rapidly.
In the South District New Blood, fewer people had been in contact with Link and more had heard of him. Reactions and discussions varied greatly.
Lanny Taylor, who had become more fervent in her magic practice and academic studies after revealing her true self, remained calm, her eyes remained still.
An initial advantage does not mean lasting superiority.
Only sustained lead indicates superiority.
She’ll catch up soon!
You just better not stop making progress!
Mina Havcheck was relieved once again.
Relieved that she had stopped targeting Link Grande early on and sought forgiveness.
Relieved that she had gained a lot from helping Jasmine Kidman afterwards.
Such as magic stones, the opportunity to work part-time at Serene Wizard’s potion shop, and some precious knowledge of potion studies and alchemy pharmacy.
Among the local apprentices in the North District, more people had dealt with Link.
According to academy regulations, “Pure Blood Will” was dismantled, but “Pure Blood Glory” took over seamlessly.
It was the same residence, the same higher-ups, and the same families.
Hawk Lucia had no reaction.
