"I may not know much about the modern world, but I have been trained in battle and have fought in actual combat even before I became a vampire, I may not have the most knowledge but that's where you guys would come in, I think I could give the most strategy for the team when it comes to combat" Vladimir replied calmly to his teammates. He didn't add the other reason why he thought he should be leader which was that he felt more mature than all of them and would be more willing to keep a level head in bad situations, but he didn't say that since he didn't want to offend his allies and make working with the team harder.
