Chapter 261: Prepping for the Dungeon Runs
Reivyn leaned back in his chair, sighing to the air. Detailed reports of each individual mercenary laid scattered on his desk. He pinched the bridge of his nose as he let himself decompress. He had spent several days going over all of the information available on every single mercenary.
As the overall commander, he was in a paradoxical situation. The chain of command existed in a way that he only dealt with the officers and their senior enlisted advisors when applicable. Their mercenary organization was young enough that it wasn’t the case, yet, but it would be one day.
However, that being said, he was still responsible for everyone under his command. He believed it was his duty to have a full grasp of his people’s capabilities. There wasn’t anyone to cover for him if he miscalculated. That was his job to do for his subordinates.
Thus, he had spent several days familiarizing himself with all of the workings of the mercenary battalion. He didn’t just go over the personnel files, they were just the ones currently on his desk.
The supply situation, finance, intelligence… Everything was given scrutiny.
With his Divine Sense, he could instantly scan all of the words written on paper in all of the reports, but he didn’t feel that was good enough. His Divine Sense put that information in his head, but he still had to make that knowledge his.
Previously, the way the Skill worked, it force-fed that information into his consciousness. It was overwhelming to such a degree, it was necessary for him to go blindfold and limit as much sensory information as possible for months after first attaining the Skill.
Now, with being more proficient in the Skill, it worked in a fundamentally different way. It put the information in his brain, but he had to focus on it and summon it to the forefront of his consciousness to “make it his.”
Considering he used to be able to have all of the information at the tips of his fingers instantly but now needed to search within his own mind for it, he assumed with increased Skill and mental attributes, he would one day return to being able to instantly access all of the information as soon as he acquired it.
