Magic High School.

However, Li Ge did not refuse Valerie and Xiao Ye's invitation to dinner. After all, these two girls were among the few acquaintances Li Ge had. Although they had only been assigned to the same group by chance during the entrance exam and had never acted together, they still knew each other.

The school cafeteria is very large, and there are even small private rooms, but it's a bit expensive. It costs 1 point to reserve a small private room for a meal.

Valerie generously offered to pay for it, while pulling Xiaoye along and patting her chest loudly to show that it was all just a small amount of money.

Li Ge was the only male here, while Yi Lian was genderless, so he naturally turned his head away, not wanting to look at her.

While the food was being served, they were all digesting the old professor's explanation of the basic knowledge about Noble Phantasms. Li Ge was very puzzled about his clown mask, because according to the professor's information, when a Noble Phantasm is combined with oneself, it will truly become a genuine Noble Phantasm.

During his Noble Phantasm awakening ceremony, the prompt was not "Noble Phantasm Awakening," but "Noble Phantasm Fusion"...

As for what happened after that lesson, Yi Lian was actually a little frustrated, as his intelligence network didn't seem to be that accurate.

Valerie, on the other hand, has always been carefree, seemingly with inexhaustible fighting spirit, while Sayo prefers to hide in the shadows and think silently.

Li Ge glanced at the girl briefly; she seemed to always prefer to stay hidden in the shadows.

"By the way, Li Ge and Yi Lian, have you thought about forming a team?" Valerie suddenly asked after all the food was served.

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 smartwatch. 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?

As the number of participants increases, 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 teaming up than Li Ge. Li Ge probably didn't know that you could team up for exams. Yi Lian was like a protective parent, 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 is a skilled intelligence gatherer, 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 a married couple," 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, while Yi Lian's copying and transformation require a copy target. That is, if it is only the two of them in a team, Yi Lian's best choice is most likely to copy 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 copy ability becomes more versatile. It can be used to complement Lige, Xiaoye, and Valerie, copying whatever is needed, making her a jack-of-all-trades.

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 we had to turn the tide and why our 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 a Chernobyl speedman. 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 sarcophagus, but Fatty directly transformed into a 2.2-ton equivalent fat man and blew the nuclear power plant through.

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-level 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 against each other, 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.

Chapter 18 The Power of Nine Dragons

In this small private room where you can book two hours for just 1 point, the "Injustice Squad" was officially formed.

Its core members include:

Top lane tank: Valerie the female knight.

Mid-lane flex pick: Morphling Ripple.

Jungle Assassin: Silverwing Killer Xiaoye.

Support vision control: Li Ge

……

The team members are quite complementary for now, so we're only planning to form a four-person team for the time being.

Once the food was served, Li Ge was still quite curious about what Xiao Ye's face looked like under the mask; it was just pure curiosity.

The fact that someone seemed to have a mask as their very essence piqued his curiosity.

But it seemed like only a blink of an eye, and she instantly put the food into her mouth. At this moment, Li Ge couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, wondering if she was under an illusion.

After Xiao Ye gave him a cold look, Li Ge simply adjusted his glasses, letting the light reflect off the lenses to prevent others from seeing through his gaze.

"What are you standing there for? Let's eat!" Valerie, as the host, immediately called out to everyone.

Then, Li Ge put down her chopsticks after eating very little, looking troubled.

Before long, the food was almost ready. He looked at the others and saw that, apart from Valerie who seemed quite satisfied and was still gnawing on a big pork knuckle, everyone else looked uncomfortable.

"The school food is... just so-so..." Li Ge complained.

“Indeed, it’s not exactly bad. It’s said that the school designed it to be suitable for students of every race so that no race would find it too unpalatable. Therefore, it’s not a pleasant taste for an individual…” Yi Lian added.

"Actually, it's alright. The main thing is that the nutrition is balanced enough. The school definitely considers nutrition more than taste," Xiaoye complained. It was rare for this girl to say so much.

"Huh? I think it's delicious! I've never eaten anything this good in my life, even though this meal cost me 2 points," Valerie suddenly said, her face still smeared with oil from the pork knuckle.

Li Ge: "..."

I guess this girl has never had anything good to eat. She looks like she's from the Middle Ages. Oh well, spices and such are probably rare things in her hometown.

Although the school food wasn't to my liking, at least there were enough spices and seasonings.

"I think I'll buy some vegetable seeds tonight. It's a waste to leave them in the yard by the dormitory. I'll plant some fast-growing plants," Li Ge said, seeing Valerie finish eating and get up to leave.

“Oh, I’ll go with you after class tonight,” Yilian added. “Those traditional Pokémon have indeed cultivated several kinds of very fast-growing vegetables, the kind that can probably be eaten in a week.”

When the two were discussing how to grow vegetables in the yard in front of the dormitory, Valerie was instantly unsettled, and even Xiaoye's eyes widened at this moment.

"Wait a minute, you blue students can grow vegetables in your dorms?" Valerie couldn't hold back any longer.

Their dormitory at Huang College is an apartment, a four-person room with four beds and a small bathroom.

They had previously thought Huang's dormitory was alright, but now that they heard Li Ge and the others were going to grow vegetables in their dormitory, they immediately compared it and found that it was really far inferior.

"Then good luck to you guys, and try to get promoted to the Blue Dorm after the midterm exams," Yilian said.

The four of them then walked and chatted, with Li Ge and Yi Lian talking about the conditions in the Blue Dormitory.

It includes a private room, a private bathroom, a large flat living room, a balcony, and a rooftop terrace on the second floor that you can decorate as you like. It even includes a small courtyard of nearly 100 square meters, where you can grow vegetables, flowers and plants, or keep small animals.

If you have the time, you can even dig a swimming pool in the yard and leash a dog or cat; the school won't care.

Some people with even more free time dig a basement, and as long as it doesn't collapse, the school doesn't care.

After describing the environment of these blue dormitories, Li Ge saw that Valerie was already gritting her teeth with envy.

Even Xiaoye, the girl, had a "Are you guys bragging?" expression on her face.

So, during the lunch break, I took them to see the amenities in the blue dormitory. As we left, the two girls seemed to have inexplicably been ignited with fighting spirit.

The afternoon was for practical training, but for these freshmen, the practical training was more about training separately.

Based on each student's unique Noble Phantasm and their specific role, practical training is conducted separately to address each student's weaknesses.

Li Ge's problem is that his physical fitness is too poor, which is because he is physically weaker than other mages in the magic academy.

After all, he was just a human, without those strange bloodlines, even though he would be a high school high jump champion in his own world.
