Once the students looked at the answers of their friends, they couldn’t help but gasp.
It was no wonder why Mia said that her decision was the best. She simply didn’t care about other people’s plans.
Still, they understood a few things from these answers.
Maya furrowed her eyebrows while thinking, ’Each of the answers actually reflects our personalities. In fact, that’s the reason why we word it differently even if there are similar answers.’
Li Wei muttered inwardly, ’Does Teacher want to show us that the success of the mission actually lies with the leader? Without a good leader, the group can’t function properly. Even if the subordinates suggest something good, we might be too hard-headed to even listen to them. A good leader is also a good listener.’
Jayden was the one that felt hit the most. ’Still, the problem lies in the pride. Will the leader lower their pride to listen to their people? Just like the emperor is willing to listen to his ministers… If it’s the past me, I wouldn’t listen to them because of my stupid pride.’

Avalon’s expression turned grim. ’If that’s the case, is it going to be enough? The teacher presents two different situations. We won’t know which one is correct…’
Serena noticed something else. ’Now that I think about it, which one does Teacher Theo believe in? From what I’ve heard, he has always taken command whenever the situation goes wrong. Then again, no students have given their inputs.’

Lancelot had a different opinion. ’Is there a third option? It’s not like this world is just black and white. Can’t we do both? Then again, it might cause confusion. We might not have a lot of time to do it, so taking all opinions will just cause clashes between inputs.’
Aurora remembered her father, the king of elves, who had to do this daily. ’A good leader knows which one they should choose. We listen, we choose, we decide. It’s not like we can please anyone.’
Maya sighed. ’If we are careless about this, there’s a chance that people will think we favor some people more than everyone else. Jealousy will cause a big problem…’
Luca glanced at Lucas, thinking, ’But it won’t be weird if I trust my twin the most, right?’
Lucas seemed to be doing and thinking the same thing.
Oliver pinched the bridge of his nose. ’I don’t know which one I should choose. Should I incorporate everyone’s plan into one single plan? The robot has an advanced AI, so they might be able to do it.’
Haruka recalled what happened in the previous mission. ’A decision that can make everyone happy or grow, huh? In that case, I can only do one thing.’
Most students were confused. Aurora and the twins felt more burdened than the rest of the class because the plan would impact them the most. After all, they might have to execute the plan.
There was only one thing everyone knew. They shouldn’t involve Theo in their plan, since Theo had never done anything unless it was necessary. The mission was for them, not for Theo.
If they wanted to grow, they had to rely on themselves.
Little did they know, this was Theo’s second step in training them to be independent. He had instilled all the basics during the first semester. And this time, he wanted them to think about it and use that foundation to be a good leader.
Once they manage to achieve it, they should be able to grow just fine even without him. They should be able to solve things without being too reliant on him. Besides, if they became independent and spread their own wings, they wouldn’t be targeted by the people that wanted his life.
…
While the students were racking their brains to find the perfect answer, Theo was relaxing in his office.
There were a few things he had to prepare for the next mission. First of all, he had to meet the person Agata sent. The second thing would be the mission’s detail. The Crimson Witch was an extremely dangerous opponent. The author might even power her up just to create some tension.
While there was a case of plot armor, he didn’t really like to rely on plot armor since it made him look stupid.
The third problem was the incoming assassins. He wondered if they had come and would actually follow him to the Witch World. If that happened, the battle would indeed become much more troublesome. And the fact that they would send an even stronger person meant he had to increase his strength even more, such as by getting his fourth authority.
Last but not least, it would be the growth of his students. In Li Wei’s case, there was explosive growth but a slow and steady increase after that. Meanwhile, in the other four students’ cases, they had a small and steady increase, but once they mastered it, there would be a huge explosion of growth.
While he had prepared some stuff for Aurora and the twins, he still wondered which route the author planned for the students. After all, he might understand a bit of their power system, but he didn’t fully know all the details.
"While I’m at it, I guess I’ll reply to the comment." Theo shook his head helplessly, brushing the thought off. "In that case, your sibling plan is like how I described it earlier, using spiritual energy to form something and ’program’ them what to do.
"That’s the concept of my grandfather’s ability. He just incorporated chess because he was madly in love with chess when he created that ability."
Theo paused for a moment. "Anyway, knowing that Agata will be giving something to me, I’m looking forward to it. That’s why I’m not going to let the author stall for time… I’m going to force him to give another time skip so that we can go on a mission much faster." Theo ended it with a playful wink.
