magic high school

Chapter 17: I'm here to leave this team

Li Ge immediately leaned back tactically and became serious.

As expected, they've come with ill intentions...

Yi Lian knew that Li Ge was a complete novice in magic, unlike him, who had been there for almost a week and had spent all his time gathering intelligence. So Yi Lian often said, "I also have an intelligence network."

The school allows and even encourages team formation. Even after graduation, when there are assignments, the minimum requirement is two people per team.

After all, going out on missions is not as safe as being on campus. At least two people are required to form a team to ensure the safety of the students. Even if one person has an accident, the other can quickly report to the school so that the school can try something like "Saving Private Payne".

Team applications can be made directly on the campus watch. Teams can range from 2 to 13 people, and you can form teams freely as long as the number does not exceed 13.

A team can enter the exam instance simultaneously and coordinate effectively.

As for not allowing teams of more than 13 people, that means the school won't allow students to form too many teams. If they all entered the exam dungeon, wouldn't a huge group of them overwhelm the assessment content designed by the teachers?

Despite the increase in the number of participants, the difficulty of the exam will also increase accordingly.

Furthermore, if there are too many students, it becomes difficult for teachers to give good feedback, so a limit of 13 students was set.

It's quite obvious that these two girls probably thought about teaming up with Li Ge after the entrance exam.

So Yilian's gossip was completely idle, like a seagull stretching its neck to chatter; they simply wanted to form a team.

Perhaps they understood Li Ge's exaggerated performance in the entrance exam, or perhaps they guessed that Li Ge's Noble Phantasm was not a fake, but a real one.

After all, Li Ge didn't hide anything during the entrance exam; he was openly singing the Internationale with Fatty and Comrade.

"So why did you want to team up with us?" Yi Lian asked. He knew much more about team formation than Li Ge. Li Ge probably didn't know that you could team up for exams. Yi Lian acted like he was protecting his child, afraid that Li Ge would be tricked.

"You guys are lacking in combat power, aren't you? Yilian, your Noble Phantasm needs a copy target, while Lige..." The female knight paused at this point, recalling the scene during the entrance exam where Lige chatted and laughed with that group of strange monsters, and the mushroom cloud that nearly blew up the entire city at the end.

"Your Noble Phantasm is powerful, but it's probably the kind that's very unstable, right? And it's more of a support and control type?" Xiaoye added, the petite assassin glancing slightly at Li Ge.

Li Ge couldn't see her face, only the mask that revealed her eyes, and then slightly turned her gaze away, not looking at the girl too closely.

Clearly, Li Ge also realized that Xiao Ye was referring to his clown mask, not the lion's eye.

"Hehe, that's what I meant too." Valerie patted her head and added, "If the two of you team up, you lack direct combat power. As for the two of us, I'm more focused on frontal combat and defense, while Xiaoye is more focused on stealth and assassination. What we lack most is intelligence and information capabilities."

"And you two, Yilian, being a mutated elf, is an expert in intelligence gathering, and Lige, you possess intelligence-related abilities. Our abilities completely complement each other," the female knight continued, while still eating meat. "See? Isn't our team a match made in heaven?"

After she said that, the atmosphere in the private room froze.

"You idiot, 'a match made in heaven' is used to describe married couples," Xiaoye slapped her forehead and muttered in the shadows.

Li Ge couldn't see her expression, but she guessed that the girl's lips were twitching under the mask.

"Sigh, you all understand what I mean." The girl said while taking big bites of meat.

If you didn't see her baby-faced, Russian-looking appearance, Li Ge would have thought she was Zhang Fei descended to earth while eating.

Although the girl was naive, what she said made a lot of sense.

Li Ge's clown mask is too unstable, and Yi Lian's replication and transformation require a replica. In other words, if it is only the two of them in a team, Yi Lian's best option is probably to replicate Li Ge.

So it became a situation where the two of them, each with their golden eyes, stared at the ugly lion in the other's pupils, and then stared at each other with wide eyes.

If you add Valerie, a front-line tank, to the team to absorb damage, and Xiaoye, a back-line assassin, then Yilian's copying ability will be used in more situations. It can be considered among Lige, Xiaoye, and Valerie, copying whatever is needed, making her a versatile all-rounder.

Li Ge himself normally takes on the role of intelligence gathering and information analysis, leaning towards the role of a commander, and is a key player in intelligence warfare outside of the main battlefield.

When the team faces major problems, he'll gamble on whether the Joker Mask can turn the tide. He'll place the bet directly, and if he wins, he can save his teammates from dire straits.

As for why they had to make a comeback from such a desperate situation, and why their teammates were in such dire straits, don't ask!

Li Ge basically agreed to form a team, while Yi Lian still looked at their school uniforms with some doubt.

There's nothing we can do. Xiaoye and Valerie are still from Huang Academy, so they can only be considered average students. Although their Noble Phantasms seem very rare, they are currently counterfeit. The older brother doesn't laugh at the younger brother, so they're just like that.

Yilian still preferred to team up with the top student who also wore blue school uniforms.

"Don't let our yellow school uniforms fool you. Ask Li Ge, we didn't even get a chance to shine in the entrance exam. This guy Li Ge stole all the limelight! That beast is inhuman. He completely purified the source of pollution in just a few hours." Valerie shook her yellow school uniform and immediately started complaining about Li Ge.

Li Ge gave an awkward yet polite smile.

He truly deserves to be called the Speedway Nobi. There's no way around it; Fatty is just too awesome. Originally, Li Ge was planning to find a way to pour cement to make a stone coffin, but Fatty directly transformed into a 2.2-ton equivalent fat man and was blown through by the nuclear power plant.

If it weren't for Fatty, I might have had to rely on the two of them to pour cement together, and they might have been Blue Trainees then.

Yi Lian also thought of Li Ge's perfect score and immediately chuckled awkwardly.

"Don't worry, Xiaoye and I are fully capable of becoming Blue-level students. After just two exams, we'll be able to move up to the Blue Dormitory." The silly girl confidently flashed her big white teeth, seemingly unconcerned about her image.

"Hey, Li Ge, do you think it'll work? I think it will." Yi Lian nudged Li Ge and whispered.

"It's alright, actually I kind of misled them during the entrance exam," Li Ge explained quietly.

Since the conditions for forming a team were simple, and it would be easy to leave later, the two of them did not hesitate. They picked up their watches and leaned together, as if they were the four sworn brothers of the Peach Garden Oath, only missing the oath of sworn brotherhood with Guan Yu.

Li Ge thought that at worst, if he felt it wasn't working out after the adjustment period, he could just say, "I'm here to leave this team," and that would be fine.
