All Novel Full Chapter 205 - (205) Proposition
---- I would like to go ahead and apologize for how long and boring these next couple of chapters will be. I've been asked multiple times to provide the main team's stats and Skills, so they will be handled in chaps 205 and 206.
I've also been asked to add how much the MC can heal/damage for with his spells, so that is also tacked onto spell information now. This message does not affect chapter price.---

Geth looked around at his companions. Everyone enjoyed some freshly cooked wolf meat and waited for him to speak.
"As most of you could tell, we've been having some issues with team coordination. With everyone becoming more powerful, our Skills and Talents are becoming much more unique.
Because of this, we've been wasting Mana by attacking already downed targets or missing entirely from Skills affecting one another.
It may have been fine on the surface since we overpowered our enemies with Attributes.
However, as we dive deeper, Albus has a feeling that we are going to run into creatures much more powerful than the fodder we faced before."
Everyone nodded. There were no disagreements.
"I believe that we need someone to act as a commander during group battles from now on.
You will have to choose between me, Blaze, Felix, or Rift. I'm not sure that anyone else's Intelligence Attribute will be high enough to memorize everyone's... 'Character Sheets,' for lack of a better term."
The other nine in the room looked at each other. Jack spoke up first.
"I'm down. So we just need to show this person our Grimoires? What will they need to know?"
"They will need to see your Attributes, Talents, and Skills. The Grimoires have the ability to blur anything out if you have anything specific you don't want to share.
I also propose that we show everyone to get an idea of what our partners can do. You never know if the one calling the shots will become incapacitated or stuck in a situation where they can't view the battlefield.
In such a situation, someone else will need to step up."
There was a bit of discussion amongst the group after that. Geth allowed them to speak and waited for them to make a decision.
"I'm not interested in commanding. I don't want the pressure of messing up to fall on my shoulders."
Blaze was the first to respond after having pondered it for some time. Felix was the next to speak.
"I'm willing to act as a backup, but I would rather watch someone else for a while. I think you and I will be the best for this role, Geth. As supports, we are typically watching the field in a battle."
"I agree," Rift spoke up.
"I believe that Geth should act as commander and that Felix should take over a second group if there is a situation where we need to split up."
Geth stroked his beard and looked toward Felix.
"I'm okay with this if you are."
"It works for me. Does anyone here have an issue with it? Sharing your information is a lot to ask in a world like this."
He wasn't wrong. If any one of them were to turn on the others, it would be life-threatening.
"I'm still cool with it," Jack said.
"Fine."
"Agreed."
"Sure."
"Mhmm."
Everyone in the room agreed after spending some time thinking it through. Filthy was the last to confirm, but he gave in after some time.
"Alright then. I'll start, and everyone else can follow suit... Albus, would you mind?"
The Grimoire turned from Geth and floated into the center of the room. Everyone instantly became interested.
Jack and Peter practically fought over who would get to look first. Even the usually calm Filthy seemed curious about his stats.
A few gathered around the Grimoire and took some time reading it.
"This... Isn't this a bit too much!?"

He had hidden both Immersion and Mana Resonance from the others, but what he showed was enough for everyone to be shaken. Geth would show Felix his Mana Resonance so that the man would know why he preferred to stay grouped with the two women.
After everyone got over their initial shock, they began to send their Grimoires into the center of the room.
