"Huh? Him?" Pagan asked, apparently confused.
"I haven't forgotten about everything you've done for the commune as well. But Alpha was the first, so he gets the first rank. You will be awarded your rank right after," Lucius explained.
Though it was true that Alpha had done a lot of work toward keeping the commune safe. Pagan had single-handedly protected it from a variety of threats while Lucius was out on his mission. And if he wanted his ranks to hold any value in terms of asuring strength, then it would only make sense that Pagan's rank be higher than Alpha's.
"Ah, I understand Lighted One," Pagan replied, now satisfied.
Lucius watched on as Pagan gloated over Alpha, showing off how much bigger he was, and by ans of picking him up, how much stronger he was as well.

~Alpha's strength and stamina stats are higher than Pagan's?~ Lucius thought as he inspected Alpha's stats page.
~Hmm, I guess it makes sense since Alpha did do an excessive amount of exercise. But it's kind of disappointing since Pagan has that 5% buff,~ Lucius thought before looking toward Hannibal.
Ever since he ntioned that Pagan and Alpha would be getting ranks, Hannibal seed to beco very uncomfortable.
Lucius could imagine what was going through Hannibal's mind. Hannibal had saved the commune before, but it was achieved at a steep price. So though it made sense that he ought to get a rank as well, he was probably conflicted over whether it would really be appropriate.
"Work hard to catch up to the others," Lucius whispered to him, to which Hannibal straightened up and nodded in response.

~Hannibal wasn't really part of any of the collection squads was he? I'll have to make so of his missions more body intensive,~ Lucius decided, before calling the commune together.
"Pagan, go get Asclepius," he ordered, as the leaflings began crowding in front of the main cottage.
"As I'm sure most of you are aware. Most of you will be evolving soon," Lucius started, once the leaflings had quieted down.
"This not only ans that you will beco bigger, but will also an you will all require food to survive from now on," he continued, looking down at the leafling's faces. So of them seed to understand and were nodding their heads, while others whispered to their comrades in confusion.
"As such, I cannot allow a single leafling without a role to play to stay within the commune. Before it wasn't an issue, but now that work is required to survive, things must change,"
"That is why I will be giving all those who don't want to play a role a chance to leave the commune. After evolution, you will not be allowed to leave. And as selfish as that may seem, you have to understand that an evolved leafling may lead others to discover the commune if they are allowed to leave," Lucius explained, before giving the leaflings ti to digest what they had just heard.
Even though there were a few lazy leaflings within the commune who would rather not do anything, they couldn't very well leave the commune at this point. They had ford bonds with the others, they had felt growth, learned different things from Lucius, and were more protected than they had ever been.
Lucius's commune was like a safe haven they had never thought would arise. And if they had to work to stay under his protection and watch, they would do it.
"So I take it none of you are leaving?" Lucius confird after several monts of silence. "Okay then, this takes to my second announcent."
"The commune will begin accepting others from outside. That ans beings from other species," Lucius said, noting that Asclepius had just arrived with Pagan.
"For instance, Asclepius," Lucius said, before calling Asclepius to the front.
"As I'm sure all of you can tell, Asclepius is not a leafling. However he is a part of our commune, and will be treated no differently from the rest of you," Lucius said, patting Asclepius on the shoulder as he arrived at the front.
The leaflings nodded at this, understanding what Lucius ant.
"As the commune grows larger, there will need to be so sort of way to organize everyone or things won't work well. So in this regard, I have designed different ranks and departnts. I will start giving out rewards based on rank, and every mber of the commune will be required to join a departnt," Lucius called out.
"So far, there are four departnts, of which you guys can choose to join three," he continued, which brought about whispers from the leaflings. Especially the watch division who had thought themselves to be the only division.
"There is the Internal Security Departnt forrly known as the watch division, of which Alpha is the leader, or Premier as I will be calling them. If you wish to join a division within this departnt and learn more about what they do, co speak to Alpha after this," Lucius announced.
"The second departnt, is the Research and Experintation Departnt, as of now Asclepius and Hannibal are the premiers. If you want to join one of their divisions or learn more about what they do, co speak to them after," he continued.
Asclepius shuddered at the announcent, not expecting to be given any roles as they were quite sure that Lucius didn't trust them completely. And to be fair, Lucius didn't, but taking emotions aside, Asclepius was currently worth more than most of the leaflings, and as such had to be given a role worthy of that.

"The third departnt will be the Fabrication and Creation Departnt, the role of Premier is currently open, but all those who I've put into the building squad are automatically mbers of this. If others want to learn more, you can co to after this, and I will explain more about this detail," he said, before turning to Pagan.
"Finally, the last departnt is the Warring and Special Operations Departnt. Frankly, it's the most dangerous departnt to be a part of. And joining is not an option available to any of you, but I will tell you about it anyway," he said.
"This departnt represents the fighting force of the commune, they will be responsible for hunts and offensive missions. The Premier of this departnt is Pagan, and recruitnt in this departnt will be done by invitation," Lucius announced. Alpha visibly jerked at the announcent, apparently uncomfortable with it.
ranks," Lucius said after giving so ti for the leaflings to digest "The announcent of these departnts leads to the issue of everything.
