Ocean Master
Chapter 122 - The 3 Main Segments And The First Affiliated Faction.As soon as Sebastian went back inside the cave with his electroreceptor skill still active, he heaved a sigh of relief as Tosh followed him in as he expected. Not only Tosh, the small shark, Shanks also followed him in.
"You really want to go hunting?" Tosh asked as soon as he entered the cave, having passed the 2 shark guards at the entrance.
"Yes, but first, you need to show me around".
After staying without food for a few hours, though the day already started getting dark, Sebastian now craved food badly.
But before going out to hunt for food, he decided that knowing the whole cave was a necessity. The first time when Tungsten and Verni took him through, he was only led through the periphery regions of the cave.
As this was probably going to be his home for the indefinite future, he wanted to know the ins and outs of the home.
As expected, Tosh didn't complain after hearing the task. Why would he when such a thing gave him the best platform to blabber about all day?
The cave was divided into 3 main segments, the main staying segment, the throne segment, and the working segment.
Though Old Mak was a casual clan head in terms of dictatorship compared to other predator clan heads out there, he still had rules in place that governed the clan.
You are allowed to live a casual life but once you wanted more, you needed to play according to the rules that were set by the clan head and the elders.
The main staying segment was the biggest segment of the cave, and it was this part of the cave where the sharks slept and inhabited. It was further subdivided into smaller segments which acted like makeshift rooms but for sharks.
This segment was the part that Sebastian was taken through when he was led by Tungsten, so he didn't have to check it out again.
The throne segment consisted of the clan head's throne chamber, the armory, and the junkyard. According to Tosh, these 3 chambers were the most important places in the cave.
Sebastian didn't get the privilege of getting to explore these 3 chambers, this was because he needed to fulfill some requirements before getting to the requisite level of trust to access inside.
The throne chamber was self-explanatory, it was the segment of the cave behind the pitch-black door where he went to meet Old Mak and his wives.
The armory was where the weapons of the clan were kept. All the Elders, including Old Mak, at some point, already explored various regions of this ocean volcano and they acquired spoils of war from their exploits.
Part of these spoils of war included weapons and magic weapons. These were what was kept inside the armory. Also, there was a reward if a shark acquired a weapon and placed it in the armory.
The armory was open to every shark in the clan but some requirements needed to be fulfilled to access the weapons stored inside it.
The junkyard was where Tungsten was sent to keep the strange teleportation device. It was where strange machines of technology acquired as war spoils by the clan were kept and according to Tosh, most of them could not be used yet due to a lack of knowledge on how to operate them.
The machines in the junkyard were only available to the clan head, the 3 elders, and Queen Heareth. For other sharks to access them, special permission needed to be given like in the case of Tungsten and the others.
The last main segment of the cave, the working segment was by far the busiest segment of the cave. As illustrated by the name given to it, it was where the workshops of the clan were located.
Workshops in this term meant the healing department with Queen Heareth as the head, the construction department with Elder Marble as the head, the pen with Phase as the head, the domain departments, and the Mission/Reward Hall.
The healing department was like a shark hospital, but in this case, instead of doctors being trained, it was healing magicians that were being trained.
This department of the clan was one of the most stagnant though because to date, Queen Heareth was still the only bonafide healer of the clan. All the others were at or below the white tier, evolving as a healer was the hardest of all.
The construction department was as it was. Under the leadership of Elder Marble, they were the ones who demarcated the cave into segments.
The rock making up the cliff that surrounded the ocean volcano already grew so strong throughout the years that they became impenetrable to normal attacks. To break and use them, powerful earth magicians were needed.
As one of the most important departments of the clan, Elder Marble being the leader of the department had the highest prestige among the elders removing his advantage as the first elder.
The pen was where young sharks were bred and nurtured. Like Sebastian called her, Phase was the nanny who led this department that enabled the continued multiplication of the family.
The shark family led by Old Mak was at least 6 times bigger than the Crocodile family that suffered under Sebastian's hooves of tyranny, the pen played the main role in making this possible.
For the domain departments, it was where the 5 purple tier powerhouses of the clan held lectures to produce more powerhouses of the same magic domain.
Old Mak learned about the importance of order from his previous owner, and it was what made his clan so prosperous today. With such clear divisions, the clan worked smart and hard which was the best combination ever.
The last of the workshops which was the Mission/Reward Hall was the anchor that regulated all the departments of the clan.
There, sharks could register as workers of the clan and they would get access to the shark points which was the currency used in the clan.
According to the clan head, this was a dream that his best friend always had for sharks to work orderly with a currency. In the end, he was the one who realized the dream in place of his best friend.
After registering into the hall as a worker, sharks would be exposed to missions issued by the clan and completion earned rewards in shark points. Not only that, it was the ticket to climb the hierarchy of the shark clan.
Without pause, with Tosh and Shanks accompanying him, Sebastian visited each of the workshops and departments until he finally stopped at the Mission/Reward Hall.
The hall was filled with sharks of different sizes, colors, and shapes. They all gathered with different motives in mind, some looked for hunting missions to take, others came to claim their benefits and a myriad of other things.
All Sebastian could describe the hall with was boisterousness, it was extremely lively and filled with optimism.
Nanga, the only shark in charge of the hall asked as soon as he appeared. "Sebastian, do you want to register as a worker of the clan?"
Sebastian didn't even need to think about it, he answered without hesitation as soon as he was asked. "Yes".
The procedure for registration was not too complicated, a strange machine was placed in the hall which did most of the registration. Nanga's only mission was to control it and make sure it was precise.
2 minutes after he applied, Sebastian became a worker of the shark clan.
