After dismissing the legion members, Xiao Ran picked up the battle reports at hand and glanced through them. Although these participants were not particularly skilled at writing reports, none of what he saw was truly just a diary-like running account. Most of the reports were very simple, offering little insight, little experience to learn from, and no indication of how much the writer had grown during the mission. Still, this was a good start.
El-Elf had been keeping his head down, busy with something. He had heard everything Xiao Ran said clearly, yet he offered no opinion and showed no change in expression. Perhaps Xiao Ran's approach was entirely within El-Elf's expectations, so he was not surprised at all.
Cruze, on the other hand, sat directly across from Xiao Ran's desk, lightly stroking his chin. Xiao Ran's arrangements, including the requirement to write reports, were in fact a way of formalizing the legion members. It was like how those Native inhabitant pilots in SEED World submitted combat reports and mission reports after battles or assignments—a method for those above to understand those below and improve the lower ranks' ability to act.
Other measures, such as veterans guiding newcomers and mutual exchange and study, were also common military methods for helping recruits integrate into the group as quickly as possible. They allowed newcomers to learn more experience from veterans, giving them a greater chance of survival. They might not seem remarkable, but they were highly practical.
However, this might not feel like a problem while the legion still had few members. Once the legion continued to grow, Xiao Ran could become extremely busy. What Cruze worried about most was Xiao Ran changing from a symbolic combatant into a pure administrator. That would definitely not be good for either the legion or
