After we left, we didn''t return for a while and just watched other groups'' matches.


    Group 7 - Aurelius and Lyra''s team managed to win against Group 8 easily. They have consisted of mainly those under rank 50 after all, with only one of them being top 12th.


    Aria and Emeric''s teams also secured a win but they were reprimanded by the instructor for acting alone and overwhelming their opponents with their strength. She mentioned this was a team fight and they were practicing.


    I could''ve done the same, but knowing the instructor''s personality and not wanting to change teams again and again (Aria did so in the original) I restricted my strength and cooperated with my teammates.


    My sister and Ren''s match however was quite interesting. Just like me, they restricted their strength and cooperated with their other members. Ren was obviously skilled both in team fights and individually, so he quickly took control of the fight.


    However, what made the match interesting was their opponent, not its leader to be more precise. She effectively strategized a counter n against Ren''s n in a short amount of time and even managed to take out their back line first.


    Yes, the opponent leader was a girl and an assassin no less.


    However, being experienced, Ren managed to turn the tides and took out their archer and tank in one move, which made the rest of the fight easy.


    I am sure if her teammates were stronger, she could''ve won. But unfortunately, they were not.


    After all the matches were concluded, Instructor Valeria gathered us all together for feedback and evaluation.


    "Overall, I''m both pleased and disappointed with everyone''s performance today," she began, her gaze sweeping over the group. "I did notice some areas where improvements can be made while some to be praised. I hope you will train with your team during your free time as well."


    She then proceeded to give each group specific feedback based on their performance. When it came to our group, she praised our teamwork and coordination but also pointed out areas where we could improve, such as emotion control, adaptability, and contribution. She probably talked about L''s sudden outburst and Max''s least usefulness. She must have noticed how casually he fought.


    "Now, the ss ends. Disperse."


    As the ss ended and we dispersed, Keiran and Ardel came looking for me, to express their will to train together. I naturally agreed.


    "Should we invite L as well?" I asked the two as we made our way to the cafeteria. Ah, right, I was going to spend the lunch with them. After all this fighting and sses, I honestly didn''t want to cook.


    Hearing my suggestion Kairen suddenly halted and looked at us. He scratched his forehead, hesitating to speak. "Umm... I think she dislikes me. She will probably turn us down."


    He muttered, his voice awkward.


    ''Oh, boy!'' I nearly pped myself. ''This boy is not only dense but also a misunderstanding type! Well, it''s true L''s actions might have led him to think in such a way, still...''


    ''Sigh...''


    ''It seems I need to help.''


    "Don''t worry about it. She will join us." I reassured Kairen.


    As we reached the cafeteria, I spotted L sitting alone at a table, lost in thought. After choosing a meal, I brought the two to the table where she was sitting. I and Ardel sat across her, which left the seat beside her avable to Kairen.


    "L," I called her out.


    "Hmm?" She looked up, her expression shifting to surprise when she saw us approaching. "Oh, hey guys," she greeted, a hint of uncertainty in her voice. Must be wondering when we came.


    "Ardel and I were nning to practice every day for two hours." I decided to jump straight to the point. "Kairen has also joined us just now, what will you do?"


    L hesitated for a moment, seeming a bit taken aback by the invitation. She nced at Kairen, then at Ardel and me, as if considering her options. Heh, like I believe that.


    "Well, since you guys insist, I will join." She finally agreed in the end.


    I could see Kairen looking at me with a surprised and grateful expression. Dude, I didn''t do anything but invite her, that''s all.


    Well, she would''ve agreed even if he wasn''t here.


    "What about that stupid musclehead, is he gonna join as well? I honestly hope he doesn''t fight with me." L suddenly asked. "Did you see how he acted? That moron! He asionally shot arrows and even then they didn''t even touch the hair of the opponent. That bastard had no respect for his teammates and didn''t take the fight seriously at all!


    Urgh, thinking about it irritates me..."


    I chuckled inwardly at L''s blunt assessment of Max. It seemed she had some strong opinions about his performance during the match.


    "You don''t have to worry about him. I will take care of it." I replied calmly sipping my orange juice. "And as for the performance, we all have areas we need to improve on."


    L rolled her eyes, clearly unconvinced, but didn''t argue further.


    "Anyway, it''s good you agreed willingly," I said, trying to change the subject. "We''ll meet up after sses at afternoon for our practice sessions."


    "Any objections?"


    "If you have courses during the time we should set up a time so everyone will be avable at the time." I then suggested the idea I just overlooked.


    Then all three of them told me which days and what time they would be free. Taking my own schedule into ount, I found we could practice together only three days in a week. Well, it wasn''t that bad and enough in my opinion.


    "Well then, let''s meet tomorrow at 2pm, right after lunch." After we finished our meal, we decided to meet tomorrow for the team practice.


    With it taken care of, I first returned to my room and changed my clothes. After feeding the egg, I made my way to the outside, heading to one of my courses.
