The Witch Hunter System

”Sigh! ” Caelan sighed despondently.

”It was true that Lady Linette and Vaan played a big part in finding the Stalactite Milk, but we obviously discovered it at the same time, and yet we only get a mouthful when we could have gotten three bowls worth each. ”

”Yeah… How is a mouthful enough? I really want to take another mouthful, sigh! ” Reid grumbled.

Captain Rhys watched the young warriors with a gloomy and strict look as they complained over the Stalactite Milk Pond.

Even he was not immune to the temptation of the Stalactite Milk and felt sad over the reduced share.

But more importantly, the recruits ’ incompetence and lack of discipline infuriated him.

”Suck it up and be grateful that Lady Linette is generous enough to leave us any at all! If you still have a problem, then go and complain to Lady Linette! See if it doesn ’t get you killed! ” he barked.

”Perhaps you have lived too comfortably in your households, or I have been too lenient on your training, but don ’t forget that you are on an escort mission! Lady Linette paid us to escort her to the capital, do you understand?! ”

”She is not only our client but also our boss! She employed us to protect her! Other than our duty to protect and escort her, only the spoils of our hunts belong to us! Nothing else! So stop believing the Stalactite Milk is your right! It ’s not! ”

Captain Rhys poured his hearts out, lecturing the good-for-nothing recruits harshly for them to understand.

Despite that, some of them remain unconvinced.

”When adventurers and mercenary parties band together, they split the rewards equally among themselves; how is our escort group any different from that? So naturally, we should have gotten an equal share… ”

A young warrior beside Reid muttered quietly to himself, but alas, Captain Rhys still overheard the young warrior ’s complaint.

”You… little shit! Have you not listened to a word I said?! ” Captain Rhys exploded with veins protruding on his forehead.

”Do you think we ’re the same as mercenaries and adventurers? We ’re nothing alike! They can share rewards equally because they have a cooperative relationship! As for us, it ’s an employer-employee! ”

…

Sometime later, Captain Rhys ’s furious lecturing died down after being the last to drink a mouthful of Stalactite Milk.
