Chapter 295: Chapter 289: The Seven-Man Team

Translator: 549690339

“The three of us should form a team.”

Ignoring the eager gazes around him, David Jones spoke to Margaret Yule and Yolanda York, who had gathered by his side.

He would rather team up with familiar friends than strangers. This would also help avoid minor conflicts in communication within the team.

“In this case, we still need four more teammates. Yolanda, do you have any suitable candidates in mind?” Margaret Yule asked with a slight frown.

Military training is conducted in small teams, which suggests a high probability that the second stage of Relic exploration will also be a team-based experience.

As such, a reliable teammate is arguably more trustworthy than one with strong abilities.

Although Margaret Yule was the class leader of the Pharmacy Class I, Yolanda York was the one with the most extensive connections in the class. She was gentle and quiet, with exceptional Pharmacy skills.

“I know a few friends with good personalities and Pharmacy skills, but their abilities are pretty average,” Yolanda shook her head.

The amount of water that a barrel can hold depends on the length of the shortest piece of wood in the barrel, not the longest one.

Although the team had David Jones, whose combat prowess could be considered top-notch, a well-rounded team could not afford to have too many weaknesses.

Upon hearing this, Margaret Yule turned her gaze to David Jones, “What about teaming up with Farmstead Sinclair and his group?”

At these words, David Jones surveyed the students on the training ground and finally fixed his gaze on a small group of four led by Farmstead Sinclair.

Farmstead Sinclair, a young prodigy from Justice City, was not only a Flare II Alchemist but also had a Class III middle-level Initial Pet [Redjade Bee].

However, he seemed to be somewhat weak in combat, with a ranking of only 80 in the Placement Tournament. Despite this, his strength was still considered second in Pharmacy Class I.

“Let’s forget about Farmstead Sinclair. I think the strength of our teammates is not that important. What matters most is their character and compatibility, David Jones spoke with a lack of interest.

Rather than teaming up with the proud-looking and likely difficult-to-get-along-with Farmstead Sinclair, he preferred more submissive teammates.

As for the issue of strength, it might sound arrogant, but David Jones believed that even if he were alone, he could defeat any seven-person squad on the training ground.

“It’s up to you now.”

Margaret Yule put her arm around Yolanda’s shoulder and said.

“Not much time left, I’ll go and ask around now.

Feeling slightly uneasy, Yolanda took a step back to free herself from Margaret Yule’s embrace and then headed towards a small group in the distance.

“There are still three minutes left! Remember, each team must choose a team leader to stand at the front of the line,” Instructor Law Webster announced in a solemn and steady tone, which spread across the entire training ground.

“How about you be the team leader?” Seeing the sparkle in Margaret Yule’s eyes, David Jones decided to take the initiative.

“No way,” Margaret Yule vehemently refused.

As David Jones and Margaret Yule began to chat, the students on the field grew restless!

There was only one strong leg in this lineup. If their team could firmly attach themselves to it, they would definitely make it through the first stage of training.

However, some powerful students, with the idea of forming a strong alliance, approached David Jones.

“Do you want to form a team together? We just happen to have four people

here.”

Noticing David Jones’ gaze, Farmstead Sinclair confidently stepped forward. Meanwhile, the two male and female students behind Farmstead Sinclair also looked expectantly at David Jones.

With David Jones and Farmstead Sinclair, their team would undoubtedly be the strongest team.

“Sorry, we already have preferred teammates!” David Jones pointed in the direction of Yolanda and replied.

“Understood.” Farmstead Sinclair nodded, his face full of sunshiny smiles.

However, David Jones perceptively detected a hint of imperceptible dissatisfaction in Farmstead Sinclair’s eyes, and he immediately understood his character to some extent.

After rejecting invitations from several unfamiliar classmates in succession, Yolanda York returned with four students – one male and three females.

“Let me introduce you. These three are my classmates from Rosewood City: Sylvia Creek, Cecily Mansfield, and Violet Cooper. They are all Flare II Alchemists at the later stage.”

“This is my cousin Yann York, a Flare II apex Alchemist.

Yolanda affectionately held Violet Cooper’s soft hand and introduced them in a grandiose manner.

“Goodness, these elusive Flare II Alchemists seem to be a dime a dozen in Pharmacy Class I. No wonder Rosewood College is famous for its Pharmacy Department!”

David Jones and Margaret Yule cast surprised gazes at the four people in front of them.

Sylvia Creek was a slender, tall blue-haired girl with a hot figure.

Cecily Mansfield wore a white dress, giving off a girl-next-door vibe.

Violet Cooper had purple-toned hair tied in a single ponytail, a black duckbill cap on her head, and a flat chest. She looked more like a cool, handsome guy at first glance.

As for Yann York, the handsome boy at the back with a slightly anxious expression on his face, he was Yolanda’s cousin.

“These are the powerful teammates I need!”

Seeing so many talented Pharmacists in front of him, David Jones couldn’t help but feel elated.

Keep in mind that his Spirit Eye could become stronger by absorbing more elixir souls.

If he could lay a solid foundation with a Pharmacy squad now, he wouldn’t have to worry about the source of elixir souls for his Spirit Eye and Pure Flames in the future!

After all, besides close friends, Alchemists of slightly higher rank would never allow outsiders to observe their Alchemy!

“David Jones, do you have a girlfriend? What do you think of me?” Sylvia Creek asked with a twinkle in her eye.

At her words, Yolanda twitched the corner of her mouth and quickly pulled Sylvia away from David Jones.

As this year’s top freshman, David Jones’ performance on the court was eye-catching, earning him many fans.

Even within Rosewood College, there were many prodigies who admired David Jones, such as Sylvia Creek and Yann York. That was why Yolanda had not gathered with them before.

“Ahem!” Faced with this direct question, David Jones coughed and changed the subject. “Let’s cut to the chase. We only have a minute left, so why don’t we quickly choose a team leader?”

“I vote for David Jones,” the enthusiastic Sylvia Creek was the first to respond. “Me too,” Yann York’s voice followed.

“I also vote for David Jones…”

Seeing the trusting gazes from their six teammates, David Jones, who had been indifferent to the position of team leader, suddenly felt a surge of pressure.

“In that case, let’s each briefly introduce our Pet’s strengths,” David Jones suggested outright.

After all, as members of the same squad, they needed to know about their partners’ Pets!
