"HAHA! I like this third priority better! Leave the showing off to me!" Shen Murong laughed out as he grinded his fists together.

Ignoring the latter that was laughing like a maniac, Shen Lu turned his head towards Duan Li with a concerned expression.

"Well, we do need fame for our 'Mysterious Party', but Brother.. are you sure that showing off would be the best way to do it?" he asked.

Duan Li cupped at his chin as he answered.

"Actually, there are a number of other ways to do it, but those are slow and the effect would be gradual. Therefore, in terms of the impact and efficiency, nothing beats showing off and it would definitely bring us instant fame!" Duan Li replied.

Xiahou Yu whom was only listening silently all these while during the meeting, while savoring her fried chicken, added her own thoughts in agreement to Duan Li's idea.

"Showing off our strength should be quite beneficial for our party.." she said with a casual look to her.

Hearing this from her, Shen Lu's interest was piqued. It was rare for him to see Xiahou Yu engaging herself with them. But he knew, that Xiahou Yu was actually quite smart! In fact, she was the one whom suggested the main idea behind the recruitment plan that they had employed previously!

"What do you mean? I thought that with our party being called as the 'Mysterious Party', we would be doing things more discreetly.." he asked.

Xiahou Yu nodded.

"You're not wrong.. but the name could actually be used in another way.. we don't have to act discreetly in order to be mysterious.." she answered.

"Since we already cause some ruckus during the recruitment phase before.. rumors about us should already be circulating by now.. about how our Lord could overpower others so easily.. and all that money we obtained from it.. there would naturally be people whom are observing on what else can we do.. and would only act accordingly after that." she said slowly.

"You mean.. the Strategist club?" one of Shen Lu's brow shot up.

Without a doubt, the Strategist club holds the most influence in information networking and distribution.

It would not be an exageration to say that the student populace acts accordingly to the information they receive from such networks!

Hence, if the Strategist club decides to manipulate the information going out to the student populace that Duan Li's party was nothing but a pack of barbaric people, the others would start to scorn them.

Using that as a reason, the Strategist club could harrass their party in so many ways, creating an endless amount of trouble in the future!

"Yes.." Xiahou Yu nodded again before continuing;

"By letting everyone see for themselves on how strong and unstoppable we are.. then no matter how the Strategist club decides to manipulate the information.. no one would try to go overboard and make trouble for us.."

"In fact.. people would began to subconsciously view us as untouchable existences by then.." she said.

Shen Lu contemplated on Xiahou Yu's words deeply as he crossed his arms onto his chest while closing his eyes.

"I see.. what you mean to say is that, after we became existences that shouldn't be provoked, then no matter if there were rumors that tried to defame us, no one would actually took them seriously?" he said, slowly beginning to comprehend the ideas behind her words.

"That's right.. and after that, since no one could actually tell which was which, there would then be quite a number of versions of these rumors that will try to describe us.. contradicting with one another." she said.

"I think I understand what she meant. By then, the name of our party would naturally be in effect by itself, making us truly 'Mysterious' as per our party name, the Mysterious Party." Wang Xiolun added.

Hmm.. that could actually work!

Shen Lu clapped the both of his palms together, "Interesting, this might actually work and we don't have to strain ourselves doing things discreetly!"

"Indeed. I hate being low-profile as its too troublesome, it just doesn't suit me at all!" Xu Rong said with a wide smile.

"I'm fine with it as well." Fei Longwei nodded.

Seeing everyone agreeing to all three of the objectives he laid out, Duan Li then continued with the next agenda.

"Alright, since that was settled, let me now brief everyone on what roles each of you should play in the upcoming battle. However, feel free to suggest to me as well later on."

...

After revising their roles a few times, their position was now finally fixed!

Shen Lu was a Strategist, with the Optic skill art he cultivate, Roc's Encompassing Eye, he could act as the party's radar and watch out for any ambush, as well as coordinating their overall movements.

However, as he could not move while the Optic skill art was active, he needed Rear-guards that were nimble and fast enough to react.

For this purpose therefore, they agreed to assign the twins to become his bodyguard.

For the main attack force, it was undisputed that Duan Li, Shen Murong and Wang Xiolun would become the Vanguards. After all, their battle prowess was the most massive out of everyone here.

Fei Longwei on the other hand, at first requested to be on the Vanguard position along with them as well, but Xiahou Yu expressed her concerns that their defenses would be spread too thin if all their powerful people were to become the Vanguards.

This was because Xiahou Yu, along with Xu Rong were Spellcasters and work best from mid to long range. But since Xiahou Yu was still a beginner, there was only a number of skill arts she could use right now and was mostly buff spells and elementary magic.

Meanwhile, Xu Rong was more geared towards combat spells and while her Pyromancer magic were top-notch, the stronger ones required time to actually activate.

Therefore, Fei Longwei serves to act as the buffer zone in between as he was basically an all-rounded Spellcaster.

For Guo He, his task were to remain on standby and to switch out with either Wei Shang and Wei Wang protecting Shen Lu in cycle if they needed time to recuperate.

This was because Guo He was practically their party's lifeline due to his pills and elixirs. If they needed boost or recuperative supplies, he would send it to them.

Of course, he will have to hand out some of the pills and elixirs to them prior before the battle, but it could only be in limited amount.

After all, if one or two of them actually requires more supplies than the others, but everyone was busy handling their own stuff in battle to help, it would quickly turn into a disaster!

Furthermore, the academy would only sell a fix amount of pills and elixirs to everyone, and while he could concoct them on his own, ingredients were also limited as well as time in that equation.

"Good, now that our roles are confirmed, we will start tomorrow morning to train and get use to our formations.. as of now, this meeting is over." Duan Li said.

After exchanging some small talks between them, each began to leave one after another. Some headed to their afternoon classes while others wanted to cultivate and do some other stuffs.

"Let's see how Di Rou and the others are doing right now.."
