Looking around, Umichi saw that Paka had objected to Suki's leadership. Watching her handle the situation, he critiqued to himself, [i]Using a personal experience that not many can relate to to demonstrate a point is not the best thing to do ... but I guess it works since they are close to each other.[/i] After she had finished with Paka she waited for more objections and suggested to head to the Labyrinth. There was a moment. [i]Seems it's got to be me[/i] he mentally sighed.

"What about Fujiwara leader? What do you suggest we do? Leave him alone? Leave someone behind? Do something else?" Umichi wilfully smiled, turning to Suki. He was going to see how she handled the issue. [i]There are many ways to view this. Many scenarios to take into account. Well, she needs to be able to decide and then go ahead with the decision. In this type of situation, taking other suggestions into account can just lead to problems. It's a moment of indecision that can change the field. In a party like this, in this situation, it may be okay to take time and think and get suggestions, but as a Raid Leader .... Decisions must be decisive. They need to follow the direction they head.[/i] Umichi analysed Suki's leading abilities.

He did not want to be the one who had to take a role like this. But it was necessary. Umichi cared deeply for Suki, and would prefer it if she was not burdened to be the Raid Leader. However, as things stood, he had to let it be. He suggested it only because she seemed willing. He had no right to stop that. If he didn't support her, then who would? This was another form of support, to try to get her used to what she required. That's what he believed at least. Umichi could only hope he did not think the wrong way. Also he hoped that she would not take offense to anything he does for now. Although this was only scratching the surface of some antagonism, it was necessary for her to learn to stand up to it. In the face of 40 + people, she needed unwavering decisions, to be able to handle antagonistic remarks and critiques. That is if she were to be a Raid Leader.
