First thing first, you have to nip in the bud the mutinous behavior of the problematic elements.
"JiaLin. SterLing. Let's have a quick talk.
- <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">What, you require marksmanship pointers, Junior?</span></span>"
- <span class="mu-r">If I were you, I wouldn't try it arrow-boy</span>
- <span class="mu-b">Yeah. Piece of advice : shut down the banter, put your serious face on, and nod along.</span>
- <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">Looks like you're scared of the plainest dude ever?</span></span>"
- <span class="mu-g">Be as foolish as you want. I'll watch.</span>
- <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">Wait, what's happening?</span></span>"
- <span class="mu-r">Oh, you're just in for what we call a "Quiet Word". Never wondered why we call him like that?</span>"
Great prep talk from the trio. Not even prompted. You reassert how hard you've been to them in the past...
Yeah, they're definitely overreacting, you've been nothing than exceedingly nice to them and indulge in their "15-minutes-break-amidst-halfday-training" fantasy!
(You gave them a 10-minute break).
You walk a few step, and grab both of them over their shoulder, lowering your voice, forcing their full attention.
"I find you two are not as involved as I would like in the preparations. So I'll skip the part about how this is for your own good, and...
- <span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-i">Say as you want, you're not my senior Brother.</span></span>
- No, I'm something not as nice : I'm your captain. And your better. Also, I don't remind granting you speaking rights.
- <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">Careful, you might fall from that ego of...</span></span>"
You flash-flare your intent to shut him up, while your fingers digs in his shoulder as claws.
"Don't make me raise my voice. Granted, I might not be as talented. You know how I climbed all the way to the top of our agespan pecking order?
Discipline. You two had it so easy for so long, you'll need to learn what hard work is. And, Oh boy, I'll make sure you will.
If you two stop being complete retards for just five minute, think hard about what is coming next.
Ster Ling, you want to be the best. Under my lead, I'll give you your shots. Take them, and prove you're not all bark. Don't, and I'll do it myself.
JiaLin, I think you might not like me. - a sassy retort die on the way to her lips as she recall her lack of speaking rights
I don't need you to. I just need you two to cooperate. First we break through. Second we show the Empire our town is not a backwater hillbilly place.
I'm sure you are smart enough to catch why this might be good for you for us to overcome this two trials.
You slowly release your anger, progressively letting your Fighting Intent cover the three of you.
"If it is either of your faults that we are impeded or, heavens help you, fail then we shall be enemies. And I will have no interest in anything but your ruination. Am I clear? Good."
You drop both of them as well as your intent. JiaLin, less trained in the Mental fortitude than Dhundan, falls down while you simply walk away.
