SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 164

Chapter 164: Zhou Yi’s Choice! Confirm the Formation Match-Up!

TL: Rui88

“Let’s all introduce our professions and levels first,” Faced with the heated gazes cast by everyone, Zhou Yi kept his expression unchanged.

Although the rewards were enticing, the selection of expedition personnel had to be made carefully.

Indeed, if the top ten freshmen were unable to form a good formation, he would consider looking for freshmen with lower sequence rankings.

After all, regarding personnel selection, Dean Wu Mang did not impose any strict requirements, having delegated all the authority.

“Level 17, Spirit Swordmaster profession,” Jiang Churan spoke first.

Next came Song Xialan, who had her double braided hair, “Level 17, Spirit Master profession.”

Today, Song Xialan wore a set of black casual clothes, and she appeared delicate and attractive.

“Level 17, Mage profession.”
“Level 16, Warrior profession.”
“Level 16, Knight profession.”
“…”

Next, the freshmen present introduced their levels and professions one by one.

“Level 16, Martial Artist profession.”

After the student with the tenth sequence ranking finished introducing, Zhou Yi fell into deep thought.

Among the top ten sequence ranked students, nearly all of Blue Star’s mainstream professions were involved.

For example, Warrior, Knight, Mage, etc.

However, none of the top ten freshmen were of the profession that primarily focused on healing and recovery…

This was not hard to understand, as the Freshmen Competition tested the students’ combat prowess.

For professions such as Priest, it would be an achievement at best to break into the top twenty.

How could they possibly break into the top ten?

A well-balanced and stable team formation required at least three professions: Warrior, Mage, and Priest.

This fact was well understood by all the students present.

Therefore, some students, having realized this problem, proposed, “Brother Yi, why don’t we go find a Priest?”

This was a tall and slender boy named Liu Yang, whose sequence ranking was number 4.

He was level 17, Mage profession, and his strength was second only to Song Xialan.

In the Freshmen Competition, he crushed countless freshmen with his exceedingly proficient Fireball.

And that flowing long hair was his trademark.

“Zhang Wei, who was ranked 23rd in sequence, was pretty good; he was currently level 16 Priest,” another tall boy also concurred. “I used to attend the same high school as him, and his timing for releasing healing skills is very precise.”

His name was Cai Hua, his sequence ranking was fifth, and his profession was Warrior.

Although he took a tank route, his output capability was also not weak.

Relying on a massive shield, he forced many students to surrender directly in the Freshmen Competition.

The students ranked fourth and fifth spoke in succession, and several other students nodded in agreement.

With the official team members plus the substitutes, there could only be 10 participants.

The current personnel formation was just right; if one more person joined, it meant that one person had to be removed.

Everyone was well aware of this.

However, no one cared about it.

Suhang University had consecutively won first place in the National Freshmen Exchange Competition for four years, and this cohort of freshmen was under immense pressure.

Getting first, continuing the victory, everything was acceptable.

Once they failed to secure first place, they would inevitably bear the brunt of criticism…

Therefore, although the rewards were very enticing, everyone still regarded securing first place in the Exchange Competition as their primary objective.

As long as they could build the strongest team, even if it meant one person had to be cut, it did not matter.

“No need,” After pondering for a moment, Zhou Yi finally shook his head. “The function of the Priest would be taken over by me; let the team be composed of these ten people. Those ranked in the top six in sequence would be the official team members, and the remaining four would be substitutes.”

Both the Survival Competition and the Solo Competition were contested on an individual basis.

Therefore, he was confident that he could secure first place directly in these two events.

As for the final team competition, although the formation was considered, they indeed lacked a Priest.

However, since the Priest’s main function was to cast healing and buff skills, this could completely be substituted by him.

Moreover, given his current strength.

Once he activated S+ Secret Technique Frost Titan, he could even single-handedly sweep an entire team!!

“This…” Everyone exchanged glances and felt that this formation was somewhat hasty.

But upon reconsidering, they realized that Zhou Yi’s words were not unreasonable at all.

In the Freshmen Competition, they all witnessed those extremely formidable buff skills.

Though lacking a Priest might slightly weaken the team’s overall healing capabilities, the team competition was all about who could defeat the opponent first!

Additionally, adding a Priest would inevitably weaken the team’s damage output…

Thinking that, it was better to stick with the current formation.

“I think this formation has no issues,” Jiang Churan nodded.

“I also have no objections on my end,” Song Xialan also concurred.

Jiang Churan, who was ranked second in sequence, and Song Xialan, ranked third, both directly clashed with Zhou Yi before.

Even these two agreeing indicated that they endorsed Zhou Yi’s proposed plan.

The remaining students naturally had no other objections and nodded in unison:
“Agreed!”
“Let’s do as Brother Yi said!”
“…”

As freshmen ranked in the top ten in sequence, everyone was very confident in their own abilities.

Now that the list was roughly confirmed, each one’s eyes carried fierce battle intent.

“Alright, since everyone has no objections, I’ll submit the list shortly,” Zhou Yi nodded, indicating that everyone could leave, and then he rose to report to Dean Wu Mang. “If Teacher Wu has no objections, then the list we just made will be final.”

…

…

The conference hall was located on the sixth floor of the War College Faculty Building.

And Dean Wu Mang’s office was located on the fourth floor of the faculty building.

After stepping out of the elevator on the fourth floor, he looked at the office layout chart on the opposite wall.

With a glance, Zhou Yi saw the office of the Dean numbered 408.

Then, following the directional indication of the layout chart, he walked to the right.

After walking a short while in the corridor, room 408 appeared before Zhou Yi’s eyes.

Unlike the other offices, the door of this office was over four meters tall!

The number plate “408” and the words “Dean’s Office” were both engraved on the side.

And not engraved on the door’s threshold.

In this regard, Zhou Yi was not surprised.

After all, Dean Wu Mang possessed Giant Bloodline, and his height exceeded three meters.

If a two-meter-high threshold for ordinary people was built for him, Dean Wu Mang would have to bend over to enter and exit…

The door of the Dean’s office was wide open.

Zhou Yi directly stepped in.

Wu Mang was of a large build, and the office’s various furniture and supplies were considerably larger than those in a normal office.

At that moment, Wu Mang was sitting behind an office desk that was over two meters tall.

Hearing the commotion, he looked up and saw that it was Zhou Yi, and he was visibly surprised, “Zhou Yi? Do you need something from me?”

By his estimation, Zhou Yi should still have been discussing the expedition personnel formation with the other freshmen at this time.

“Teacher Wu, the expedition team’s personnel list has been finalized,” Zhou Yi replied.

“The personnel list has been finalized?” Wu Mang frowned.

The personnel allocation of the expedition team was a major matter.

Previous teams often required one or two days of discussion before a final decision could be reached.

But now, he had left the conference hall only five or six minutes ago, and yet the personnel list was finalized?

Although he was somewhat surprised, he patiently inquired, “Tell me, what are the specific personnel arrangements?”
