Chapter 81 The Lonely One (Please continue reading)

Richard turned his head and exclaimed, "Hey! Isn't that the previous champion, the dark-haired beauty Emilia?!"

So she also rushed back from outside the muddy swamp. Oh, right, with such good rewards for redeeming points, she should have been notified too!

When they saw the slender, tall, dark-haired beauty Emilia walking towards them.

Richard knew that the other party must have something to ask him. Could it be that the previous chief was coming to his team?

That's great news!

Richard was immediately overjoyed and quickly made a pause gesture, saying, "Recruitment is on hold. Thank you everyone for your support! Thank you!"

"Tch~ Who just said Richard's squad lacked archers? What a disappointment!" A girl carrying a longbow said sullenly.

"Richard, I want to discuss something with you!" Emilia said hesitantly.

Although Richard found the long-haired, black-haired woman's expression a little strange, he didn't think much of it and directly asked, "Senior Emilia, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Then I'll get straight to the point. I've just formed a team, led by myself and another second-level wizard apprentice. We're currently short two people, so I wanted to invite Milo and Karina to join my team, but... it seems they've already joined your team, you see?" Emilia stopped there and didn't continue.

Richard was speechless!

What a disappointment!

He had just planned to recruit two teammates, but instead he had to send out two more. In that case, he, the new top student, would be all alone!

What a bad start!

However, for Senior Sister Meiluo, joining a team led by Emilia and another second-level wizard apprentice would definitely be safer than joining her own team.

So, Richard turned to look back at Senior Meiluo.

Meiluo looked troubled, but perhaps because she hadn't spoken, she didn't say anything to Emilia.

At this moment, Meiluo seemed to understand Hans's previous situation: on one side was the junior she had agreed to meet yesterday, and on the other side was her good friend Emilia.

Richard thought for a moment and decided that we shouldn't make things difficult for others.

Honestly, I think that if Senior Milo is with Emilia, she'll be better off than if she's on my side.

After all, he was the previous chief, a top figure among second-level wizard apprentices, and possessed the crystal skull, a top-tier wizarding artifact given to him by his mentor Maya. His strength was exceptionally formidable. Moreover, there was another second-level wizard apprentice in the team.

So Richard smiled and said, "Senior Meiluo, you and Karina should stay with Senior Emilia!"

"Richard, then what about you?" Meiluo asked hesitantly.

"Don't worry, as the top freshman, I can find a team anywhere!" Richard patted his chest with a smile, reassuring him.

Watching the departing figures of Senior Sister Meiluo and Karina, Richard would be lying to himself if he said he felt no disappointment at all.

As he turned around, Richard caught a glimpse of a familiar green in the corner of his eye.

Hey, isn't that Ophelia Acorn, with her signature green hair?

Looking at her standing quietly by herself, seemingly out of place with her surroundings, it seems that she is indeed alone!

"How about this?" A thought flashed through Richard's mind, and he stepped forward.

"Ophelia, do you...do you have a team? If not, why don't you team up with me?" Richard smiled and took the initiative to speak.

The green-haired girl, Ophelia, looked at Richard with clear eyes and said, "Okay!"

Richard was overjoyed to hear this, as he had expected, no one had invited Ophelia, the transfer student.

This time, he got lucky.

It should be noted that Ophelia's strength definitely meets the standard of a second-level wizard apprentice.

It's true that when one side is dark, the other side is bright.

Richard rubbed his hands together and said, "Let me formally introduce myself. I am Richard Clavel, from the Kingdom of Heron."

Ophelia chuckled: "Is it really necessary to be like this, Ophelia Acorn, from the Kingdom of Brittany?"

"Ophelia, look, should we go find three more teammates, or just the two of us?"

"You're the captain, you decide!" Ophelia said with a faint smile.

Ophelia immediately passed the question back to Richard.

In Richard's mind, he and Ophelia were essentially two second-level wizard apprentices. In terms of combat strength, they were not much weaker than an average team, and the spoils of war only needed to be divided into two portions.

but

Just as Richard was pondering this, a commotion arose from the side.

Richard turned his head and saw that it was Ram and his girlfriend.

Ram was seen arguing heatedly with a second-level wizard apprentice!

"Senior Achim, you just agreed to let the three of us join, and now you've already teamed up with someone else in less than five minutes. That's just too much!"

The second-level wizard apprentice named Achim seemed quite annoyed, perhaps because he hadn't expected Ram to dare question him in public like that. He angrily retorted, "Andrea's strength is indeed quite good. I thought that even if you two were slightly weaker than Andrea, the difference shouldn't be too great. But I didn't expect that you and your girlfriend haven't even mastered a single level zero spell. How can you blame me for that?"

Upon hearing this, Ram was speechless for a moment, his face turning red!

Just as Ram was about to say something more, "But..."

Andrea, standing nearby, calmly pulled Ram aside and said, "Senior Achim, we can find another team. Sorry to bother you!"

Achim's expression softened, and he said gently, "Andrea, I fully acknowledge your abilities. I made it very clear just now that Ram and his girlfriend's strength doesn't match our team's, but we would very much like to welcome you! Are you really not going to reconsider?"

"Thank you, Senior Achim. I already promised Ram, so I'm sorry!" Andrea bowed slightly to express her gratitude.

Seeing this, the second-level wizard apprentice Achim stopped trying to persuade her, glanced at Andrea with a hint of regret, and then left.

Ram clenched his fists, looking resentful, and said to Andrea, "Andrea, I'm so sorry, I've let you down. We had everything planned out, but I didn't expect this..."

More than half an hour has passed, and many teams have already registered and are now packing their bags, preparing weapons, medicines, food, and so on.

This caused some anxiety among the wizard apprentices who had not yet formed teams.

Although the school will eventually assign random teams to the remaining apprentices, one can imagine the composition of each team.

They are all the ones that others have rejected, or they have strange tempers and are hard to get along with. More than 90% of them are definitely ugly or have low ability.

Now, Andrea also frowned slightly. Although she didn't say anything, she was quite troubled inside.

Richard saw this scene from a short distance away and raised an eyebrow. To be honest, if it were just Ram and his girlfriend, he wouldn't have even considered inviting them to join the team.

Although he and Ram had no real conflict, they were just casual acquaintances.

However, with Andrea here now, things are different!

Having made up his mind, Richard strode forward.

"Andrea, Ram, Courteney, you're all here? How's it going? Did you find the team?" Richard asked with a smile.

When Ram saw Richard coming, his face lit up with joy, but then he seemed to remember something, lowered his head, and shook it.
