The way of alliance

Drake felt like his chance to join them was low when suddenly all the Duisberg supporting Jenny moved behind her. 

Jenny got up from her seat and this stopped everyone in their tracks. She walked out of her seat and stood on the stage in the front. All the Duisberg supporting her stood at her sides.

Her silver hair and shiny green eyes mesmerize many in the class. She smiled and said, "Hello everyone, I am Jenny Duisberg. One of the 4 candidates for the future lord position of the Duisberg family." 

The moment she mentioned this, everyone standing took a step back. Even the elves and Dwarfs did the same.

There were some who even bowed at her, few frowned at her, and some looked in hatred, but no matter what the case, none dared to speak at this time. 

This scene made him realize the weight of Duisberg's name in the class. 

Jenny looked at the class and said, "Mr. Chris, Mr. Sam, and" she turned to Dwarfs and said to one sitting in the third row, "Mr Udo Amon."

The moment they heard the name, all had their mouth wide open. They could not believe there was another student from the seat holder family present in their class. Even the dwarfs sitting next to Udo had their mouths touched to the ground as stars shone in their eyes. 

Udo helplessly looked at Jenny. "What do you need from me, Duisberg?"

The rude behavior of Udo made others shocked, but then, knowing the other person's identity, none dared to say anything. 

Jenny said to three of them, "I have a suggestion that all of you may like. Care to give me a few minutes of your time?" She pointed out of the class.

Sam and Chris don't even say anything when Udo straight-up refuses her. "Why need to go out? Can't you say it in the class?" 

A stared down started between all the Duisberg and Udo. 

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Jenny to speak with a pale look on their face. All of them feared the way things going. 

Drake stared at all these things with a frown on his face. Kane did not tell him anything about this so he asked, <Is Jenny planning to recruit them?> 

[I am not sure man, none of it happens in the novel. But hope she called them for recruitment only, not the other thing. If it's that thing, then we are fcked up.] 

<What thing?>

Kane was about to explain but stopped as Jenny was the first to speak. "Sure, I like to request to you guy-" 

Udo stood up. "Not interested." 

Jenny remained unfazed as she said, "Please listen to me first. I am not talking about-" 

Udo again cut her, "I don't care." 

Sam also said to her, "Miss Jenny, no offense, but I think we should not rush things. Right now, we don't have the knowledge. It would be better if we talked about this in about a month. I believe all of us would know who is doing how by that time and it helps us to make better decisions." 

The way Sam framed it diffused the tension and Jenny nodded to him and walked out of the class.

Udo did the same, and soon everyone in the class again surrounded Sam and Chris. 

Kane said to Drake, [Bro, I don't know if that Sam guy knew it or not, but the way he handled the situation had made everything back on track. Except for a few changes, I think everything will go as in the novel now.] 

<Well, that's a good thing for us. Now tell me what the you were talking about?> 

[Oh that, I was talking about alliance?] 

<Alliance, what's that?> 

[Look in the class. Do you think these guys who were dying trying to talk with Sam and Chris are going to fight for the top ten positions?] 

<I don't know what you are talking about. Logically they should try, right?> 

[ah my bad to expect a social answer from you. Let me give you some basics about the mentality of the class first?] 

<Sure > 

[All the people who rush to Sam and Chris will never compete for the top ten positions.] 

<Why? >

[Well, if you go into their mind you will find almost every one of them is thinking, 'As long as I joined Chris/Sam…' or 'I need to join Chris/Sam…' These are the students who are searching for support and have the least self-belief.]

<Wait, so did Jenny and us count as the same. We are also thinking about Sam Chris.> 

[Nope it's different. Sam and Chris are hot commodities in the class, so right now everyone must be thinking about them. But looked at Elie and Ayaz. Are they rushing to the front?] 

He focused on the girls and was sure they were taking their time going through two papers and talking with the few students around them who, just like them, did not rush to the front. 

[Now look at the back. ] 

He turned his head only to be surprised that not even a single student from the last 2 rows rushed to the font. They were not even talking among themselves but just examining the surrounding students while spouting some nonsense here and there.

He did not know what was going on, but sure these people also did not look much interested in Chris and Sam. 

It was the same with Elves and Dwarfs who glanced at Sam and Chris but none of them approached them. 

Kane said, [See, thinking about something and rushing to do something was different.]

<mm > He nodded, <OK, I get it, but what does all of this have to do with the alliance?> 

[So the alliance is formed between multiple teams. There will be one primary team that has the best member in it and the other teams in the alliance will support the members of the primary team to make them as strong as possible.] 

<Wait, so it will be like one strong team getting support from multiple weak teams and, in return, they expect the to share some benefits after winning.> 

[haha Damn right!]
