Chapter 325 The Third Teammate
——"Here, here are your number plates. The two numbers on the plates represent your team and individual numbers respectively. Please be sure to keep them well."
Pulling out two metal round plates from the prop box nearby, the staff member in charge of registering the team wrote down the numbers on the plates while explaining the functions of the round plates: "For example, this plate here has the number 277, which means your team number is 277. As for the B193 below, it is your individual number for the actual combat assessment, so please remember it clearly."
After taking the metal round plate from the opponent, Kuei-Jia pretended to observe it, put it into her bag, and then asked: "I understand. Then, how do we identify the third teammate in the team?"
"Please wait a moment. We are still registering all the teams that have nominated each other. Once the registration of the magical girls who have nominated each other is completed, we will start to randomly assign them to teams. At that time, if another magical girl draws the number of your team, we will also give her a number plate like this."
The staff member said quickly: "The number plates of the same team can sense each other through magic fluctuations. You can confirm it now, and then you can find your third teammate in this way."
"I see... How magical!"
Dogtail standing behind Delphinium closed his eyes and sensed his and Delphinium's number plates in the way the other party said, and then showed an understanding expression: "As expected of a country, even the number plates used for exams have such a convenient function!"
"After all, we collected the registration fee."
In fact, Kuizi, who had already known the process and was just going through the motions, breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little pleased that she had successfully passed the registration procedures for the practical assessment: "Anyway, since we have completed the procedures, let's not hinder others here and wait aside."
She accepted the request of Foxtail Grass to form a team.
There was no special reason. Regardless of whether she and others nominated each other or not, she would eventually be assigned to a team. And through a brief conversation with Corydoras, she felt that this kid had a pretty good personality and was probably not the type who would always stir up trouble in the team and make things difficult for everyone. So there was nothing unacceptable about forming a team together.
This is actually Delphinium’s experience.
When she was young, she had suffered a loss because of her lack of experience when she participated in the character card assessment for the first time. At that time, she also left the Fangting City team and participated in the random team assignment alone. As a result, one of the two teammates she was finally assigned to was a spoiled young lady who grew up in the country. Not only was her strength not outstanding, but she was always bossing others around, making the atmosphere in the team quite unpleasant, so much so that another teammate almost quarreled with her several times.
Even if she thinks back now, she would never say that it was a pleasant experience. In fact, if her personal strength at that time had not been very strong, and she could lead the team to complete the task even if the team coordination was a mess, she would definitely have failed that assessment.
Now she returned to the examination room with a fake identity. Although she had no pursuit of grades, she definitely did not intend to make herself look bad. It didn't matter if her teammates were a little weak. The most important thing was that they were easy to get along with. Otherwise, when the second half of the examination came and the various defense tasks from the Magic Academy became severe, she would not have time to coax a bad-tempered child.
Thinking about all these things, Delphinium and Foxtail returned to the shade of the tree where they were before, where they chatted while waiting for the final result of the team assignment.
"It would be great if I could be assigned a teammate who is on the top of the leaderboard."
As he watched the number of people queuing at the registration office in the distance gradually decrease, Dogtail Grass sighed.
"Why?" Cuique looked at her strangely: "Didn't you say that you are very strong, so you are fully capable of passing the test?"
"Hmm... That being said, I still think it's better to have a stronger random teammate."
Dogtail Grass propped up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Look, if our teammates are top-notch players, then the probability of magical girls of this level appearing in other teams will be reduced. It's obviously a win-win situation, right?"
"Then you still want to team up with me?" Delphinium looked at her in some confusion.
"Ryoudan-senpai, it's because we get along well! That's another matter! You see, the Examination Institute gave us a chance to designate teammates, which means that we can act together with our friends and use unbreakable friendship to lay the foundation for the unity of the team! Then, we can hope that the randomly assigned teammate is a big shot who can lead us to victory, right?"
Dogtail Grass waved his hand and said, "In other words, I chose Senior Longdan because this can give our team a team soul! And the teammates sent randomly will become the sword and shield of the team!"
"I think the team formation idea expected by the Examination Institute is completely opposite to what you said..."
Delphinium commented somewhat helplessly, "And we've only known each other for two hours. Where did this so-called 'unbreakable friendship' come from?"
"...I don't have any other friends here." Dogtail Grass lowered his head and looked at his fingers, his tone awkward.
Delphinium was speechless for a moment.
This process of waiting for teammates did not last too long, and soon the team allocation work at the registration office was completed.
——"All candidates present, take your number plates! Find your teammates by checking the magic fluctuations!"
A staff member stood in the middle of the square and announced loudly to everyone using a technique to increase the volume: "Repeat it again! Grab your number plate! Use magic fluctuations to find your teammates!"
Suddenly, the crowd of candidates gathered there began to move.
Delphinium and Coleus held their number plates, feeling the pull of the magic power, and moved forward with difficulty in the gaps between the crowds. After walking hundreds of meters, they finally found their third teammate.
The magical girl who was randomly assigned to the team was doing the same thing. When the three of them finally met in the crowd, looked up and confirmed each other's appearance, Delphinium and the other party were stunned almost at the same time.
"ah."
"Huh?"
The two of them made short noises at the same time. They were neither happy nor disappointed. They were perhaps a little surprised, but not much. The main reason was probably because they had met each other once before.
"... Foxtail Grass." Delphinium turned its head and looked at its teammates.
"What's wrong? Senior Gentian?" After confirming the appearance of his new teammate, Dogtail Grass also looked at Delphinium.
"It looks like the wish you just mentioned has really come true." Even Delphinium began to find it funny because of the composition of the current team.
"Wish?" This somewhat vague statement confused Corydalis for a moment, but he quickly reacted: "Huh? You mean..."
There is no doubt that the "third teammate" standing in front of the two is the magical girl on the "big shot list" that Dogtail Grass was making a wish for just now.
As for the other party, when he came to the magic kingdom half a month ago, he also met Delphinium on the kingdom's special train.
The one holding a book in her arms and looking at the two of them calmly was none other than the magical girl from Tian City, codenamed Tudinggui.
