Prologue 36 (Part 1) Resolve and Meeting

 Kazu Nini stepped into the room with Isimaila Fginja and wanted to cook something so as to take her mind off the issue but the Goblin pushed her away and into the rooms island.

 "Hey, I'll handle it don't worry. She dashed into the refrigerator and came out out with strips of Unawakened Bacon, along with a crate of Unawakened Eggs and sealed packages of Unawakened Sausage. Then, she found a pack of frozen chips that she had to jump to get before placing a pan on the cooking equipment.

 However, before putting the oil on the pan, handed the Pixie a glass jar full of water.

 "Drink, you look like you lost too much of it."

 Kazu Nini knew she had wiped off everything, so she was surprised the Goblin knew.

 "Your slightly eyes are bulging too much in comparison to normal although your face is dry. Your voice is too light, also. And both of those mean that you are trying to hide the fact."

 She then went back to the stove and put oil into the pan that was not much or little. After blending pepper with garlic, ginger and cray fish, she threw in the bacon and sausage. Next, she found a bowl where she cracked the eggs into, adding salt and onions that she diced. When she put the frozen chips pack into the oven, she went to attend the bacon after beating the egg yolks, and Kazu Nini stopped paying attention to her.

 "Hey!" her roommate shouted to snap her back to the present. "Don't think!"

 Kazu Nini met her roommate's eyes and then looked away before trying to smile.

 Zlai Dfon and Jagonu Nanhor stepped into the room and Goblin felt like she could now give full attention to the preparation of the quick meal.

 "Boss, where did you go?"

 She looked at them and wanted to smile again, but it did not come.

 "The chat was quite lively, when you left."

 "Also, they said the resources will be given on the next day."

 "As doofus as they are, they are loaded."

 Kazu Nini wanted to go to her room but she had a feeling that if she did that, they would stop her. "Public Relations, tell them we have a meeting."

 "Who?"

 "Just staff."

 "Should I add the new recruits to the chat, just yet?"

 "…no."

 "Okay"

 She eyed the cooking food and wanted to sort what she was going to say because her head seemed to want to do everything but stay in the moment and be with them.

 Kazu Nini sighed.

 "I never knew you never knew." Jagonu Nanhor's voice drew her out of her head. "Your story is sad."

 "Are you trying to remind her of what happened?"

 "No, smart one. Better out than in."

 "… True."

 Zlai Dfon spoke next, "they are ready whenever you are."

 She was going to reach for her Telewatch but her hands dropped to her sides midway. "We will wait until the food is done."

 When eggs, sausage, bacon and chips were dished in 4 different plates, Kazu Nini went to the chat on her Telewatch to see 100 missed calls from Jinja Kaliope, as well as 50 test messages ee had sen to her directly.

 'Love, so sorry to hear what happened. It will be okay. Hold your head up high'

 She reached into their chat and texted him back. 'We will talk later, boo.'

 Now in the group chat, she saw the list of concerned messages from her subordinates and felt warm at heart –

 DarkerThanBlackOwO (Jinja Kaliope): Zlai Dfon said you were lost, it seems like Kynandrial needs a little fire to decorate their prestigious institution.

 xxSlimeTimexx (Naro Meena): Boss, are you okay?

 Rich-Elf-BeyxxX (Shafa Rinmon): Did they hurt you in anyway?

 Rich-Elf-BeyxxX (Shafa Rinmon): Our Fairy said you were nowhere to be found?

 New_Universe_Fairy (Zlai Dfon): What is the update on your position?

 Dj_Shifter_No1st_ (Elric Yjob): She just needs space.

 UnrivaledDragon (Belthion Ijima): Give her some.

 777UndyingSpiritKivon (Kivon): …Dom turned dad.

 UnrivaledDragon (Belthion Ijima) Hey!

 DarkerThanBlackOwO (Jinja Kaliope): Now is not the time, dweebs.

 UndyingSpiritDevon777 (Devon): …XD

…

 xxSlimeTimexx (Naro Meena): That backstory was dark

 New_Universe_Fairy (Zlai Dfon): And sad, and depressing.

 Rich-Elf-BeyxxX (Shafa Rinmon): Never really linked Kazu Nini with that Mako Nini

 Dj_Shifter_No1st_ (Elric Yjob): Yeah, same here.

 UnrivaledDragon (Belthion Ijima) I was shocked to hear it, too.

 DarkerThanBlackOwO (Jinja Kaliope): They deserve a good, cozy punch. I hope she is not crying alone.

 777UndyingSpiritKivon (Kivon): They had been laughing.

 UndyingSpiritDevon777 (Devon): You did not notice the Royal Kitten's smile, then.

 ChompingChampion (Lowe Hagp): We would get back at them. One at a time.

…

 MWMHarJaggedNajesty___VNV (Jagonu Nanhor): She just texted; she is downstairs.

 ***OxNinomoruas'GoblinxO*** (Isimaila Fginja): Finally!

 New_Universe_Fairy (Zlai Dfon): On it.

…

 xxSlimeTimexx (Naro Meena): So, what is happening?

 New_Universe_Fairy (Zlai Dfon): She just gave me orders, I'll keep you updated.

 Rich-Elf-BeyxxX (Shafa Rinmon): Oh good, we are waiting.

 Dj_Shifter_No1st_ (Elric Yjob): Ditto.

 UnrivaledDragon (Belthion Ijima) Hoorah!

 DarkerThanBlackOwO (Jinja Kaliope). My heart can finally rest.

 777UndyingSpiritKivon (Kivon): Good turnout.

 UndyingSpiritDevon777 (Devon): Happy outcome.

 ChompingChampion (Lowe Hagp): She is back, Woohoo!

 - Kazu Nini then took a breath, collected her words and made a video call on the group chat.

 "New Universe, no diamond is made without pressure and there is no king who does not feel the weight to their crown. If they are doing a good job" She was going to write this down; she did not expect it to sound so Epic. "Knowing this piece of my past only makes me more adamant in my hate against the nobles. Now I understand my aunt's disposition towards them."

 "Nothing changes concerning the educational arrangements I have earlier made. And nothing also will be changed concerning our goal to keep getting better. We are going to start having to make statements to them soon."

 "I will double my training, and also my efforts. For them to invite two nobles because she wanted me to fight her again, it shows her seriousness to soothe her ego. We need to be equally so."

 "We are going to get our uniforms for different cadres of the New Universe. Strict roles and codes of conduct will also be listed. We cannot be nonchalant and expect to come out on top."

 All of them were listening and none had responded.

 "It might be a lot to ask because as at now the battle has been us vs. them. But what happens when they decide to take the fight home?"

 Kazu Nini opened her fists and clenched them till they shook.

 "Personal Power, Influential Power, Cultivation Power, Political Power… we need to infiltrate these sectors of life if we want a chance to retaliate."

 "I will contact you all again, let me know if there are questions."

 "You said we should get into Personal Power, Influential Power, Cultivation Power, Political Power…" Naro Meena had never looked this serious. At least not to her, "how should we get about this?"

 "I will leave that to your imagination, but the best place to start from is ambition."

 He nodded his head and then went silent before Jinja Kaliope stared at her solemnly.

 "Next year, I will spread my roots in University."

 Lowe Hagp followed up, "I will see if I can get any connections here at my work place."

 Eric Yjob, "I can compile information on the nobles you encountered that day."

 Belithion Ijima, "I'll provide support for that, Shapeshifter. I can dig out *anything* they think they can hide."

 "I can make noise about things on the internet for New Universe content." Zlai Dfon.

 Shapha Rinmon, "I'm only good at providing funds. But I bet my parents know some pretty important people."

 Isimaila Fginja, "my beginnings were humble. So, I have some street connections I can reach out to."

 Jagonu Nanhor, "I have some old contacts I can use of, on the other side"

 "Wait," Jinja Kalope squinted his eyes. "Other side like… in the afterlife?"

 No one else had taken her comment seriously until he voiced his question.

 "No, I mean nobles." Jagonu Nanhor was going to tell them of her past life someday. So, this won't hurt for now. "I know some nobles who do not exactly like their own kind or simply not part of the solidarity of a higher echelon. Especially at the right prices."

 "Is this somehow tied to your past?" Kazu Nini had always wanted to now about the source of Jagonu Nanhor's animosity towards them.

 "Heavily."

 They held the silence until Kazu Nini took over again.

 "Very well, I am really happy that everyone could contribute for this." She took another breath. "So,

How do we firmly establish the New Universe firmly in everyone's hearts?"

 "The first step would be the mandate. The Mandate is knowing how far we want to go and what extent we want to take this. So, here I ask. I ask because I am willing to do this for a lifetime." However, not everyone might be disposed to such a decision.

 "Wait," she saw their eagerness and willingness to follow her decision. "Think about it"

 She waited until she saw their contemplative expressions.

 "Our goal as New Universe would be a home for those that are bullied and ostracized. Especially by nobles, but the weak in the world are more than the strong. Which means, that if handled correctly, we should get a very stable and expansive fan base."

 "Think about it" She had waited for them to speak before going on. "Next is our Strategy. We have this goal but how do we go about it? Who will do what, when? Who will be in charge of what? And in this regard, we will write out names, race and employee position in this Organization. We will talk about what we staff would call ourselves as well as our responsibilities. Then the members of our organization, strict jobs and purposes and salaries."

 "Next, our Platform." She took a breath in, "This one is simple as we are the New Universe, that is how we will reach out to the world. But I'm starting to think we need a clandestine reference. In case jobs need to be handled underhandedly. Belthion Ijaima, Elric Yjob and I will have a meeting on that."

 She waited for them again.

 "Resources. This one is key. And in fact, I give you all an order to begin taking strides towards your dreams. Begin raising funds for each of them. And even though some might not have any, then look for a vocation that can help. Shapha Rinmon has supported us so far and we are grateful for that. But I would like to confidently feel that – to a goodly extent – we can all contribute to New Universe."

 "Lastly, the Backing. I put this one separate from Shapha Rinmon because we need investors. Meaning that we have to become competent enough as reliable and proficient. So, cultivation, resources, media content, information - ourselves, the world and the nobles -, manpower and all of that needs to be taken seriously so that we can have a place not only in the hearts of people but in their minds. Having their minds means they know that we exist outside of not just school butt to the environment, continents, the seas and the world."

 "Thank You."

 When she finished, a clap slowly started until all of them followed up.

 She blanked for a while before smiling, "you guys are trying to make me feel good. I get it, but don't forget what is most important."

 The clapping continued and she waved until she switched off her Telewatch.

 Turning to her roommates, she decided to go to her room after she spoke to them.

 "I will need your help when the resources arrive. See you tomorrow."

 "Hey," the Goblin caught up to her before she entered her room. "You did not finish your food."

 The Pixie regarded her Ambassador and reluctantly took the food before shutting the door.
