It took a few more minutes before the team selections finally came to an end.

Hade looked behind him, at the seven he had chosen to be on his team...

Well, to be fair, the final three had all been Quinn's recommendations. The last selection Hade made himself was that of the previously chubby earth practitioner from the Magic Combat tournament, a girl whose name he now knew was Aria.

Besides her, there was also Caleb, a fairly competent mid-Mortal class Fire practitioner, Chris, the only other Wind practitioner in class, and finally Samal, a Thunder magic practitioner.

Three girls and five boys... Hade was fairly pleased with his team. And this was despite the somewhat excess of damage dealers. Sometimes, relentless offense was the best defense.

Of course, in an ideal setting, Hade would've readily substituted one of the boys for an avid Life practitioner but sadly, their scarcity restricted his fantasies to the imagination.
