(2 days later, at the Unity Nexus)
Altogether, forty-eight people went to the Unity Nexus emergency meeting. Thirty community representatives (which is all of them), and 18 people who were invited to join.
Among the eighteen invited were Mikey, Roger, Lucy, the woman from Jack's party, Miyu (whom was begged to come here). The others Mikey didn't know, although there was one mysterious woman with golden hair in a white robe, Mikey could've sworn that he had seen her somewhere before.
Miyu's rank dropped to 7, which means that she's one below Mikey, and the ranking of the woman with golden hair is 8.
Before the meeting began, Roger had already given his information to Mikey, he even told him something that he didn't tell anyone else, not even Alayen.
"Let's begin the meeting shall we?" A man with ranking 9 above his head says. The man is the leader of the entire Unity Nexus. Long black hair, dark brown eyes, samurai armor, and a floating katana by his side. His name is Alexander.
"Is that katana a relic?" Mikey asks whispering to Roger. "Looks like it is," Roger whispers back.
"First of all, thank you all for coming, this includes not only the community representatives, but also the invited people," Alex continues his speech.
"Today, as you all know, we are going to be discussing the question regarding the Elves. Whether we are ready to fight a war against them, precautions that we can take in order to get an advantage, or perhaps completely stop the war from even happening. The Unity Nexus meeting... starts now!"
(Ten minutes later)
"COME ON NOW, WE CAN'T FIGHT THEM ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" One man shouts at the other.
A dispute began after two community leaders disagreed with eachother. One of them said that humans should fight the Elves, while the other one disagreed. Most people sided with Nick, a representative of a community that is located to the south coast, but some people sided with Richard, the man who is the leader of one of the northern communities.
Nick doesn't want to fight the elves, while Richard thinks the opposite.
The reason why Richard wants to fight, is because his community is not in danger of getting destroyed, unlike Nick's community. Elves are coming from the south, that's why.
Everyone who sided with Richard is also a part of a community that is in no danger if the Elves attack.
"What's wrong Nick, are you scared of the Elves?" Richard laughs at Nick. "Easy for you to say when your community has no weak members and is in no danger whatsoever, coward!" Nick replies with hostility.
"Coward!?" Richard stands up and starts walking towards Nick, who isn't too far away from him.

Nick stands up aswell, they both pull out their weapons, Nick pulls out a strangely shaped green bow and loads it with a green arrow that looks like it's poisoned. Richard pulls out a large greatsword that's enchanted with purple color. They march at eachother, Richard, in his heavy black armor, and Nick, in his light leather armor.
Miyu dissapears, Jack stands up and starts running towards the two, Mikey teleports next to Nick, Lucy's hair turns white as she creates a wind bow in her hands.
All of this happens within one second. A few other people react to Nick's and Richard's outlandish act.
In the next second, Mikey's holding his sword at Nick's neck,
Lucy is aiming her bow at Nick,
Jack is standing between Nick and Richard holding out both of his hands,
Miyu is holding a dagger at a cutthroat distance of Richard,
One of the community leaders, who's holding a crossbow made out of gold, is aiming it at Nick.
Two more community leaders stood up and are holding swords at the neckpoint of Richard, one of the swords is imbued with lightning and the other one looks like it's made out of ice.
"Now then, fighting won't do anything among us, will it?" Jack says while looking at Richard, he then glances at Nick and says: "You two, if you have a problem with eachother, don't drag the entire Nexus into it."
Alexander who's still calmly sitting at the table, lifts one of his fingers, which emits an atrocious, demon-like aura. Is this one of Alexander's attributes?
Surely but slowly, everyone puts down their weapons, and sits back to their place.
"I don't want to fight the Elves alright? My community has a bunch of members who are simply not suited for war, this includes four literal CHILDREN. I can't risk their lives!" Nick points out.
"In that case, why don't we just have the high ranked prople stay in the South, while every non-fighter gets out of there and goes North? This way, we can prevent those people from suffering injuries or dying." The community representative with the golden crossbow suggests.
"Either way, my entire community agreed that we should fight, we can't let some Elves opress us. So, if it's necessary, the weak people can use my community's area as a safepoint." Richard offers, everyone is surprised by this, considering the fact that he was such a jerk just a moment ago.
"Either way, we don't want to fight them," Alexander notes. "We are clueless about how strong they are so far, so please, if anyone has any information on the Elves, speak up." He says.
To sum it up, everyone said what they knew, besides Roger, there is a small but very important information about the Elves that only Roger and Mikey know.
The Elves seem to be a very strong species that focus on their perfected archery and wind skills. They are masters at doing those two things. But their weakness is close combat, which is actually the strenght of most humans.
Besides this, several other things were presented, like how many Elves there are, what kinds of bows they use, what kind of wind skills they can use and more.
But no one mentioned Roger's special information... which is exactly what him and Mikey will exploit in order to prevent the war, or defeat the Elves if it comes down to a war.
(The next day)
Everyone who was at the Unity Nexus is at the front of the human army. Altogether, two hundred humans gathered, everyone with a high a ranking. Unfortunately, people with the highest rankings didn't make an appearance, which means that Mikey is the strongest here.
The Elven army disembarks on the coast, their army consists of ten ships, thirty elven soldiers, and one commander of each unit.
The Elven commanders are the only ones who step out of their ships.
Mikey, Jack, Max, Alexander , Alayen, Roger, Lucy, Miyu, Nick and Eugene start walking towards the Elves.
(Eugene is the wielder of the ice sword, and Max is the wielder of the golden crossbow, both of which are relic weapons).
It is true that humans didn't send out their strongest set up, but they're not looking to start a fight, they sent out the people who would be the best for negotiatons.
This means, that there are ten people on each side, these twenty people will now decide the future of humans and Elves.
