Laurent kept her focus on that new and
very formal looking new guild. She noticed that the other guild leaders were being taken into another room in the back, leaving all the solo players and guild members in a meeting with all of the second in commands leading the field boss meeting. This left Neon colossus in an awkward position, having members late didn't matter as they still weren't the last to show up. "I uh, Pterro. I think that woman over there is calling for you." She gestured to a woman holding a door open that Asuna for some reason didn't go into. A man broke from this new guild and went into the room, Heathcliff. The other guild leaders followed suit, including Pterrophos. "Ok, let's uh... Maya, could you lead us in? It's kinda your job and stuff to make us look all scary and stuff for these meetings. Everyone walk in two lines side by side? Maya take center front, Mez and Kharn take the first row, then the rest of us just, I dunno stand behind them and glare like Maya. The bitchier the better!" She said shoving Maya and Pterrophos foreword.
The guild lined up nicely, but Laurent was too busy trying to look bitchy (which wasn't normal for her, normally she just had her resting bitch face to do that for her.) to notice her guild members bitchy faces. The crowd sort of parted due to Maya's presence and obviously superior bitch face being able to part a crowd of high level warriors. They took their seats and Laurent looked at the empty leader seat that most guilds had a second in command occupying. "We uh, we need someone to sit there and I don't know fighting as well as you guys..." She looked to the others anxiously. She was nervous that her guild was going to be the center of unwanted attention. "So uh, someone needs to sit there. NOT IT!" She shouted. And waited until the rest caught on and said it too. Mez was the last to say it. "MEZ! HA! Go represent us!" She said trying to shove the obviously stronger Mez to the forefront of the meeting room.
"Uh, yeah listen to Laurent, I apparently have an important meeting!" He said wrapping his arms around Mez and Kharn's shoulders. "Maya these boys don't look near pretty enough. I thought I told you to do that ahahahaha!" He chuckled before being shoved foreword by his loving secretary. He weaved his way to the stage in the middle of the meeting hall and into the back room where the woman (who in reality was a solo player he had never met before) was gesturing to. Inside he saw all of the guild leaders.. And Heathcliff, dressed in armor that matched the new guild that was lead by Asuna. "So uh, I'm assuming we need -" He was cut off by Heathcliff.
"The Knights of the Blood will be taking the lead guild position now that the Army has given up the position." He spoke with such power and calmness. Of course nobody agreed with this decision, as everyone there also wanted that position and a guild that was JUST formed had no right to it in the first place. "I'm willing to duel anyone for the position. I'm sure we're all the best warriors in our guilds, correct? We'll represent ourselves!" He glared at Pterrophos who openly admitted to not being the best warrior in the guild. Everyone drew their weapons that they kept sheathed while Pterro stumbled through menus to get his Rapier out.
Immediately, Heathcliff challenged the leader of the DID, the strongest contender to himself. He dispatched of her with relative ease, calling up the other leaders one by one taking them out leaving just Pterrophos. "Uh, hey man. You know how uh, strong and CUNNING I am right? I don't think this duel is absolutely necessary!" He let out, ready to lose but jokingly trying to get him to just quit. The duel request was sent quickly, mid sentence though and was mindlessly accepted. He flicked his rapier knocking Heathliff's sword away with relative ease, but his shield made it near impossible to hit his opponent. Eventually he must have slipped because he attempted a parry but seemed to have moved his rapier perfectly around the man's sword that cut his arm off, which proceeded to dissipate in front of him. It manage to do enough damage in one hit to sever the limb digitally. Pterro let out a yell and collapsed to his knees. It would be a bit, perhaps five minutes until it would regenerate so he wasn't too worried but it hurt like a bitch. "Asshole... But yeah yeah, you win. What's our move Supreme glorious leader Kim Jong Heathcliff?" He chuckled, and Heathcliff chucked a bit as well before getting a bit more serious.
"I'll leave that to our second in commands outside. They were left in charge to handle the meeting." With that said, a look of terror crossed Pterrophos' face. He had no second in command and couldn't imagine what was going to happen. Was someone stepping up? Was his guild going unrepresented? He tried to grab his face with his stump arm and just mimed the position awkwardly.
