Ashgard: Ambition and Purpose
Reason, Purpose, and True Rewards #217

Five minutes left, and the score between the two teams who played was very thin just one point adrift. Adam's team position is still seeded rather than Kimmy's team, but only one point difference. If Kimmy's team can score two or three points, then his team will excel and can win the game. But if only managed to score one point, then the position will be a draw. Especially considering that there is only five minutes left.

The biggest opportunity at the moment may be on Kimmy's side, as the basketball is under the control of his teammates. While Adam and his colleagues tend to prepare to defend if the opposing team attacks.

"What do you think, Berlin? Will Adam and his team win the game? Or is it Kimmy and his team?" cetus Garwig, now the man is sitting right next to Berlin on the bench. Siska sat under a small bench that was right next to a long bench occupied by Berlin and Garwig.

"Actually the difficult positions are on Adam's side, because they tend to defend, and just so you know that defending is more difficult than attacking." Berlin answered that question, of course with his usual calm attitude when answering.

Defending strategy is the hardest thing compared to attacking or as an attacker, which is what Berlin thinks. Garwig became speechless with a slightly downcast look after hearing this.

"I know what you're thinking, especially after hearing what I just said," Berlin chirped slightly and noticed the man beside her who seemed to be thinking something.

"Doing that defense does seem simple and easy, but on the other hand we must be ready with all the attacks from various aspects." Berlin spoke with his gaze to Garwig, before turning his gaze back to the two teams still competing, saying, "as strongly as the defense strategy is applied, it is certain that there will be a little gap that can be used by the opponent to attack, and tear down the defense."

"Then what do you think about the strategy implemented by the police to secure the trial in the future?" cetus Garwig suddenly asked about his current worries.

"Police implement a good plan, and a security system that is in accordance with the procedures. Of course I believe what they plan to do, as long as it's for the common good" Berlin replied, flatly.

Berlin is not finished talking. He turned slowly to Garwig who was sitting beside him and said, "if possible .. I want to make a suggestion."

Garwig slowly turned her head and looked at the man's face, "suggestion?"

Berlin also answered the short question, as well as providing clarity on the advice he wanted to convey to security. Suggestions that will most likely add a little defense applied by the police in conducting a trial escort.

...

Five minutes later, the game was over. Salva has blown a long whistle, which is the final sign of the game. At the end of the game, surprisingly no team managed to win the game, nor the team that lost. The score ended in a draw.

The two teams that previously competed and fought each other on the field, now both rest on the sidelines by enjoying their respective cold drink bottles. Several talks and jokes were created many times, and Berlin could see them all.

"Boss, how come you're not coming?" cetus Kimmy, his body sweaty and looks busy sitting straightened his legs on the ground while enjoying his cold drink.

"Look at my feet, right?" sahut Berlin, smiled and then chuckled small. He along with Garwig and Siska stepped closer to the group of his colleagues who were right next to his long bench before.

"What reward, boss? But we're a draw, anyway." Aryo dared to speak about the prize that Berlin had promised before the game began.

Berlin chuckled lightly at the question, especially when he saw the faces of his colleagues who were enthusiastic enough to know what the prize was.

"Although not given because of the draw, but at least tell us what the prize is ...!" said Sasha, even with a little intonation pleading with Berlin.

Even though they all looked very exhausted, and were sitting around leisurely on the ground. But their enthusiasm and enthusiasm to find out what exactly the prize is kept secret by Berlin from knowing.

"Who said the prize won't be awarded even if you draw? Did I say that?" sahut Berlin, refuting Sasha's statement while folding both arms over the chest.

"Will the prize be given? But to whom? Will it all get?" sahut Kina, finished chugging his bottle of cold drink.

Instantly they all fell silent, confused, and thought after hearing the answer from Berlin. What kind of gift do you mean? As far as they know, Berlin did not give anything throughout the match, even the man was only present back in the middle of the match.

"In accordance with what I said before the game began, 'the prize is very valuable and high value'. So high in value and so precious, this gift may not even be measurable by numbers." Berlin spoke in front of his comrades still sitting on the ground with their bewildered faces.

"Sorry, Boss. We were confused" said Galang, raising one of his hands, and speaking with a slightly wrinkled forehead in bewilderment.

Berlin smiled at the plain and confused expression of his comrades, "sorry if I don't mention what the gifts look like, because they don't really have any shape or form."

"As I said, you've enjoyed the reward I've been referring to throughout the game, even up to this second. Moments like this are the prizes I mean, and that's one of the reasons I created a sudden match for you guys" continued Berlin.

Garwig who was standing next to the man just crossed his arms and smiled, hearing what Berlin had to say. The reason and purpose of the creation of the game agenda, has now been known and felt by all colleagues. They had looked at each other several times, then threw smiles and laughter at each other after Berlin finished speaking.

But they went back to silence, looking at Berlin who then spoke, "sorry, today I deliberately want to test you. I just want to make sure how you communicate, your teamwork, and your chemistry. And it turns out that the result ... You are indeed the Ashgard I know," said the man, then smiled widely.

"Surely, dong!" cetus Faris's.

"We must always be compact!" timpal Sasha's.

"And solid!" aryo added and completed what Sasha said.

Berlin just smiled looking at his colleagues who did not seem to mind because he had tested them all, and made them exhausted. But even so, they looked so happy that even their jokes almost never faded. His view also had a look towards his brother, Carlos, who looks to have begun to adapt to his friends. The man though tends to be silent, but he looks fun in talking with his colleagues. Although it seems that he does not look too able to open the topic of conversation. But there was Adam who almost always invited him to talk, and joined the others in the conversation.

"Berlin, I really entrust many things tomorrow to you, to you Ashgard." Garwig spoke with low intonation and even his voice was defeated by the sound of Berlin colleagues who still seemed to be joking. The man then turned his head and continued to say, "I admit .. You look a lot like your father."

"What is he like?" sahut Berlin, interested in the last sentence said by Garwig.

Garwig then turned her gaze towards the slightly gray sky while saying, "she looks a lot like you."

"His attitude, his nature, even his ways of doing leadership. Exactly like you," continued the man speaking with a soft-sounding intonation, then turned his head back and looked at the man in blue jacket standing beside him as he said you finally.

Looked a warm smile plastered on the handsome face and cold man in blue jacket. He said no more, especially after hearing what Garwig had told him. After a moment of silence, Berlin suddenly spoke, "meaning .... My stubbornness also decreased from it, huh?"

Garwig chuckled slightly, nodded softly and replied, "yes .. That statement doesn't hurt, anyway."

"I'm confused what you're talking about" said Siska, crossing her arms and snorting in annoyance. Although he also has a clan and comes from the same large family as the two men. But he did not know much about what they were talking about.

Garwig just laughed before finally saying, "just a little talk about memories" he said and then smiled, looking at the members of Ashgard who were still relaxing while joking with each other.
