<h4>Chapter 197 - Wee All!</h4>
Two days passed in the blink of an eye as the time to wee new Elites came close. The atmosphere in the guild shifted to that of members behaving like respectfull senior brothers from cultivation sects.
Everyone wanted to create a strong Impression of themselves as the new batch of Elites arrived. Some were even rehearsing what they would say in deep voices.
Rudra chuckled at this atmosphere , it seemed as if everyone wanted to convince the neers of how awesome the guild was.
Rudra was the one who was least affected by the atmosphere.
For him the guilds performance and it''s treatment towards the members was the most important . If the treatment was good and the goals were achieved , the morale would naturally remain high.
The Elites already had a lot of prestige in the Hazelgroove region. He was not worried about the new members not being impressed. If anything they should feel blessed to be a part of the guild True Elites. It was a achievement in of itself , that of all the yers out there , you are considered a True Elite.
There were a lot of new members joining today. Rudra had decided upon this expansion taking into consideration that running a territory was not easy.?To effectively manage the Purplehaze city talented individuals were needed , the existing workforce was pitifully low.
Rudra decided to hold the weing ceremony this time inside the virtual world . Existing members lined up at the gate , in guild robes and with their signature grey mount by their side , there were two such rows , both facing each other making a passageway .
The new members walked in the guild passing from between the two files , as the existing members tried their best to look cool as the juniors passed them.
Clearly it worked , the dignity of the Elites , with the majestic grey direwolf intimidated the new members , it gave them a feeling that they had truly joined a big organization.
When the new members passed by Sk , some audibly gulped at her beauty. Some were throwing sneaky nces at Naomi , while some ced at Yua.
At the end of the two lines , stood the Elders , vice guild master Karna and guild master Shakuni. Smiling as they weed the new members.
As soon as the new members were epted formally , their clothes would change into the guild robes , and they would also get the signature grey direwolf mount of the Elites. They were then supposed to join the existing lines and expand it.
By the time thest member officially joined , the file had extended to about 200 meters in length.
There were 2100 Elites now. From various fields with various strengths , yetpared to the 570 or so initial Elites. The guild was bustling now.
Rudra asked everyone to move to the guild hall , hence the mounts were recalled and everyone started to move towards the guild hall , excited chatter could be heard everywhere.
The new members were extremely happy to get the new mounts , they could not wait to try them . They had never heard of every member getting a mount of the same species. When they had heard that all Elites use the same mount , they assumed that they would only tame the grey direwolf from the wild . However , the truth was that every member upon entry recieved a grey direwolf mount!
They had never heard of any other guild that did this ... How the system allowed it , they had no idea... Was it a special quest? Is it a perk of being in a tinum guild? They had no idea .
Not in their wildest dreams could they have imagined that the reality was that their guild leader had negotiated this feature from the cuber corporation. It was an exclusive feature for the Elites till the ban on bombs was still in ce.
The average yer levels had risen to level 36, yet they were still a farcry away from the threshold set by cuber corporation for the use of bombs. Rudra knew that very well. Actually in the wars and the quests , levelling was a department he had consistentlygged behind on.
Not just him but it was the situation with the entire guild. Neatwit was the only exception , who still focused on levelling up. The guild had once dominated the levelling rankings , holding all the spots one through ten . However now only ten Elites were in the top 100 spots.
Neatwit still held the number one spot at level 54 , and SMG held second ce at 52 , followed by Rudra at 51 , Rudra was only there because he levelled up thrice killing the Griffin with Jhonny , Yume and Karna.
The average guild threshold was around level 49 , it was by no means a low overall level , with the global average being at level 36 they were sufficiently strong , however everyone in the guild was not satisfied with being above average , they were the True Elites!!! They had long resolved that after the conquest for city supremacy was over , they wouldpletely focus on levelling up and getting stronger.
Rudra took the stage as for the first time he saw a huge crowd three times the usual size in the guild hall. He smiled as he said " Wee all new family members to the guild. I am the guild leader of this small guild , but I prefer to run it as a family . Soo for the new one''s here , let me give u a brief introduction about the power structure of the guild ..... ". Rudra paused , he looked at new members anxious faces . The older one''s were barely holding theirughter.
" There is no power structure ..." He said in a low tone and the old members burstedughing , even Rudra started to chuckle.
" There is the vice guild leader Karna , he is an excellent warrior , a greatmander and a good friend ".
" There is the elder the talented Assassin SMG , I would not want to be in the shadows if he were the opponent ".
" There is the talented head of Logistics Amelia , she is the heart and soul of this guild who bands the guild together , otherwise we would just be a bunch of misfits ".
Amelia blushed at theplinment
" There is the number one yer in the level rankings , another terrific warrior , Neatwit , it''s a rare treat to see him in the guild hall, soo feast your eyes today . Because , most times he would be out levelling in the wild , never to be seen in the guild ".
Neatwit awkwardly scratched his nose , it was true , he was seldom seen in the guild.
"There is sir Jhonny English , a gentleman of discipline and a true professional , his skills far surpass even the most talented yers in the guild ".
Jhonny just nodded his head in response. He was calm andposed , but secretly he was extremely delighted , he liked the Shakuni kid a lot , he knew how to please the old man.
" There is the bank and the backbone of the guilds economy Sir Fatty Ksh ".
Fatty instantly frowned and red at Rudra , how dare he introduce him with the fatty tag , this friend of his was in deep sh** now.
Rudra said " All of them are elders , but they are elders to help the guild function better , their spot is earned through respect of the guild members and contribution to the guild. Or I have ced faith in them to do so in the future.
There are no strict rules in the guild , members are usually free to do whatever they want , there is seldom a guild quest issued , but even that will be optional. You just have to work in a way that you feel is the best for your individual development and collective development of the guild.
Should u fall , should you fail , then the guild shall have your back . Low finances? No problem the guild has you reimbursed , Bad equipment , no problem, the warehouse has a stock of the top notch weapons and equipments?! Problem clearing quests , ask other members for help !
Here in the true Elites we only live by one motto , and I hope you all make it your motto too ...".
Saying that Rudra nced at Karna and motioned for him to take the lead.
Karna was embarrassed , but resolve soon filled his eyes. He cleared his throat as he shouted
" ONE FOR ALL ".
And the entire guild of old members joined in
" ALL FOR ONE
GO ELITES GO!!! ".
energy filled the guild hall , even the new members could feel thefort and conviction behind those words . This was not your average guild , everyone here benefited by the guilds amazing system and in turn voluntarily tried their best to contribute to the guild. It was a ideal system . One that everyone wished to achieve but could not. Only because of the unique structure of the True Elites guild was it possible .
Rudra shouted " ONE MORE TIME GUYS ,NOW WITH EVERYONE ! ".
He took the lead this time and the entire guild joined him. Every single member , at the top of their voice !
" ONE FOR ALL , ALL FOR ONE , GO ELITES GO!! ".
The wee ceremony was over , the new batch had integrated with the old one. The traditional batch 2 photo was clicked of all new recruits and hung on the guild wall alongside the batch one photo .
Rudra looked at the new members excitedly chatting with the older one''s , talking about Omega , he smiled , he would let the members have today for fun , ase tommorow preperations for the city conquest would start at full swing.
