My King System

"Good. It seemed like I would never be able to defeat that beast. I\'m just glad that I had that blade with me," said Yuki with a sigh of relief as he was glad that his battle against the red dragon from the event was finally defeated.

"Speaking of that blade. Where did you come across such a weapon?" Batol asked as if he was intorigating Yuki. Of course this question caught Yuki off guard as he had used the blades without thinking twice about what others would think. It only made sense that he would be asked about them though. After all, there wasn\'t a single other human except Yuki who had possession over weapons on that scale.

"I\'ve been wondering the same thing. Where did you get them and would they happen to be on sale because I also want blades which are capable of doing all those things. I mean did you see what happened to the sky then the red dragon as it was caught in the ice webs?!" Arthur asked as his excitement grew while imagining himself in Yuki\'s shoes as he imagined himself being the spotlight during that battle.

"Uh-" Yuki said as he tried to quickly come up with a lie which everyone in that room would buy and leave him alone for a while. 

"Come on Yuki! Think of something! If you stay quiet for much longer, they\'re gonna get suspicious!" Yuki told himself as he needed even the smallest lie which would have allowed him to get away from the situation which he placed himself in.

"Let\'s see... If I were to say that I got them when I reached level 60, that would place me in a limitation since once they reach level 60 as well, they\'ll know I was lying and start to question my reliability. What\'s even worse is that they would start leveling up faster so that they could get the blades which would just seal my fate," Yuki began to think to himself.

"Damn, there\'s even a high likelihood that they\'ve seen these blades before. Well my ice sword more specifically since it was used in the 8th stage of the first dungeon. Even if they\'ve forgotten about it, they\'re bound to figure it out eventually. To add on, they\'ll start to ask me to use the blades more often which would vastly increase the chance of me getting found out. Man! This sucks! How can I get out of this?!" Yuki yelled at himself while trying to figure out a perfect lie. However it was showing that there was something he was hiding and it seemed like he was trying to come up with a lie. As the seconds passed, it became more obvious that Yuki was going to lie to Batol, Arthur and the rest of the people in the room which were Scar and the top 5 members of the WD clan along with some high ranking members of FFF such as Mark.

"Wait. I\'m not even obligated to tell any of them where I got this from. I don\'t know why I\'m stressing so much about this. I can just refuse," Yuki told himself before his face changed to be of one which was very confident which made everyone who was around him assume that he had finally come across the perfect lie to tell.

"Look Yuki, we already know you\'re going to try to lie to us. Just tell us the truth about where you got those blades. We\'re not going to judge you even if you stole them from an old grandma," said Scar as he stopped Yuki before he could even say his first sentence to which Yuki simply smirked.

"It\'s awfully brave of you to assume that I would tell you where I got my blades from just because you asked me," said Yuki with a grin.

"Huh?" Everyone in the room said with a confused look as they didn\'t understand where Yuki was getting his speech.

"What I mean is that I\'m not going to tell you guys where I got these blades. Don\'t worry about it. It\'s better if there is only a single person who owns something like this," said Yuki with a proud smile.

"So you\'re really going to gatekeeper weapons from your own clan members because you want to look cooler? You do understand that if more people had access to weapons such as the one you own, our clan would grow in strength by an unimaginable degree?" Scar asked Yuki as if Yuki was spouting nonsense.

Although Scar did make a great point which was further solidified by the fact that everyone except Yuki was nodding in agreement to his statement, Yuki still couldn\'t back down since admitting defeat meant the end of his life. He didn\'t even know where to begin to explain where he got his blades from. It just seemed impossible to explain. 

"Oh I see. So you\'re trying to back me into a corner huh? Well then watch this Scar!" Yuki announced in his head before speaking once again.

"Although it would help out to increase the overall power of my clan, it also has some problems which must be addressed. One of them being that a rebellion might occur for one reason or another in which the same clan members would use the weapons which I showed them to attack me. You see, it\'s much too risky for me to give another person the same trump card which I have. Then it would no longer be a trump card and instead just be a regular card which everyone else has at their disposal," said Yuki in a calm and collected voice while replying to Scar.

"I guess you do make a fair point. It\'s never bad to keep precautions but if you won\'t even trust your own clan members, how are you expected to lead them? After all, if you second guess yourself all the time, are you truly fit to lead a whole clan?" Scar asked as if he was turning a regular conversation to a court hearing.

"Although I do consider that a fair counter argument to what I have said. I can almost guarantee you that my performance on leading the clan will

not be affected by me not trusting the clan members. I mean it\'s not even that I don\'t entirely trust them. It\'s that I have a small thought in my head which always makes me watch out for myself. I mean, can you really call that bad leadership?" Yuki replied as he had thoughts of instantly killing Scar right then and there as for some reason, he was trying to ruin Yuki\'s reputation. However that still wouldn\'t be the end of Scar\'s tries as he finally sealed the deal with his next few words.

"Is that really true though? I mean actions speak louder than words. After all, look at the battle of the dragon dance event. Although your battle with the red dragon was spectacular and you managed to defeat your opponent flawlessly, you didn\'t contribute anything to the clan members so that they could win their battles as well. All you did was simply tell them to fight and left them stranded so that they could go into a battle with literal dragons which they knew nothing about. You didn\'t bother to create a battle formation nor did you bother to instruct them in their battle," Scar argued to at this point Yuki was already fuming. Seeing this become increasingly more obvious, Arthur finally stepped in as he didn\'t want to see Yuki snap and then snap Scar\'s head off like a twig.

"But don\'t you think that\'s a bit too biased? There would be no way for Yuki to know the type of battle which was going to be fought on that day. As such, it would be basically impossible for him to come up with a strategy to defeat an unknown opponent and in our case, opponents. To add on, you claim that he should have assisted the weaker members of the clan in their own separate battles. Do you really believe that Yuki should have just left the large red dragon to roam free while he went to save other people? What do you think would happen if while Yuki went to save some weak guy, the red dragon attacked 50 of our strongest members all at once? Even you must know that each and every single one of those 50 members would either be dead or close to death right now. You should be thanking Yuki for what he did during the battle," said Arthur as he backed Yuki up which seemed to make Yuki a bit calmer but Scar would go in for one last attack.

"I can see how that would be a good argument. However it would have been better if he had assigned one of the stronger members to be a battle leader by making them change their ability to be able to cater to that title," Scar finally suggested, which seemed to have been the final straw as Yuki seemed to want to kill him right there. However a sudden knock brought him to a stop as a nervous looking man came inside as if he was scared of all the figures that were there.

"Clan leader Yuki, GNE would like to interview you,"
