[quote=KindledBeast] Alastair took the whip, I have to learn to take responsibility for my squad if not then I could become a tyrant and only punish my squad having them revolt against me, he took off his own shirt still half covered in cuts. If she or another one of them gets out of place I'll punish them but like I said I would receive this punishment If not I would be forsaking my word and then they wouldn't see me as a leader more of a dictator." Alastair said truth fully handing the whip back to him turning his back to Vlad keeping the solider stance he previously had, it was logical that the leader take the beating but he was very serious about them getting punishments from him if they were getting crazy he thought back to what he said to the other kid about breaking his arms if he ever makes a attempt to kill a teacher agin Alastair knew now that he had to keep his word on that none of them could get out of line without punishments from him anymore. [/quote] Vlad turned Alastair around and placed the whip in his hand. "You are right and you are wrong. Lucy will receive her 15 lashes for escaping. Then if you wish to take Adalina's place for Cassandra's mouthing off then you can do so. Have you will first prove to me that you can inflict the punishments I deem appropriate. You will not be the one decided the punishments in this lab. Sparks is right you all agreed to training. Punishments are only handed out when I feel they are necessary. I can be a very nice guy when you cooperate. .But so far the only one even trying to cooperate is Sparks. Now last chance. Take the whip and deal with Lucy or I will send you all to your rooms and deal with you separately."
