The Mission

Redaime gave Ning's words a long and deep thought before asking, "This mission of yours. Can it wait a day?" she asked.

"Why? Are you going to find a new Thinker?" Ning asked. "Yeah, it can wait. I can even wait upto a week, if not more if circumstances arise."

"Great!" Redaime said. "Then you're working with Derria."

Ning was a little confused. He just told her why It was a bad idea on her part to send Derria with him. He needed someone who was willing to find his answers that they would've otherwise not been able to think about.

And yet, Redaime was going to keep her in his group?

"Didn't you just say she might be useless?" he asked. "Why does it feel like you're forcing on her to fail?"

"That's because we are," Redaime said. "I need to get rid of her quickly as she is quite useless. Once I get rid of her, I can stop worrying about having someone so useless in our team."
