Chapter 174 - Team Compositions Part 2
*Trevor Daniel - Falling *
"Ok, I'll start with the Support Team." Jaimie said. "Here we have the following students:
"Alek. An A+ ranked Defender. He is specialized in Ice as an element, and will be responsible for shields, buffs to the team, and some crowd control.
"Jericho. An A ranked Intelligence Gatherer. She is specialized in cyber security, breaches, hacks, and pretty much will be the main source of information in the unit.
"Sam. An A- ranked Crowd Controller. He is specialized in mind reading and mind control. This ability gives him the chance to become a support crowd controller that can stop enemies advances as well as gather information, amongst other things.
"Amira. An A ranked healer. She is specialized in healing while she can do some fighting and crowd control as well. But she will be the main healer of the team.
"And last but not least, we have the leader of the Support Team, and that will be Jina. She's an A+ ranker that is specialized in creating shields around the battlefield that can both provide protection and distraction.
"For the support team members, please respect Jina as your leader now. If you need anything, you have to go through her first, before asking the instructors. In case she doesn't satisfy your expectations of a good leader, please let the instructors know."
Seeing how they seemed rather happy, he smiled while looking at the rest of the students, 'Oh boy here we go…' he wasn't excited about starting the introduction of the roles for this part of the class.
"Alright then, now let's sort out the Assault Team. For this one, we have the following students:
"Sara and Isabella, an A+ and A ranked Ranged Support, respectively. Sara is specialized in control over wind, meaning she can fly while bombarding the enemies with attacks. And Isabella has the ability to fly as well, thanks to her wings, and then she can fire mana bombs down on the enemies.
"Erza. An A++ ranked Crowd Controller. She has the ability to control electricity and restrict or attack opponents.
"Lloyd. An A++ ranked Crowd Controller as well. Lloyd has the ability to create structures with his mana, ranging from simple mana gloves to full on giant mana suit that he controls while wreaking havoc in the battlefield.
"Shin. An A++ ranked Assassin. He has the ability to control water and create a special set of weaponry that depends on that. He is especially swift and efficient, hence why he is our only assassin.
"Albedo. An A+ ranked mage. He is specialized in magic and various spells that are focused on attacking or controlling the enemies, while some can be even used for support."
*Sigh*
"Now, while we've left the hardest choices till the end, I want to emphasize that there will be no changes in terms of rankings, and this will be our final team, as of now.
"So I want you to respect the person we assign as a ranker, is that clear?" Jamie asked while looking at the three remaining students. They nodded.
"Alright, we have Haruki, an S ranked Game Changer. The role is a bit of a made up one, but that reflects how special Haruki really is. He has the ability to control physics and almost anything in his path.
"His main power output is usually directed towards changing the trajectory of moving objects, which also applies to living beings." At that, everyone looked at the shy kid in admiration. His face suddenly got flushed red as he wasn't expecting such attention.
"Vlad. An S ranked Warlock. He has almost full control over his mana which makes him one of the strongest we have.
"Unlike normal mages, his spells and mana control are mostly focused on attack. With a snap of his fingers, he can make the mana unstable and cause it to explode, dealing massive amounts of damage to the enemies.
"Needless to say, his powers are also very dangerous, that's why he'll mostly have to attack the heart of the enemy solo.
"Lastly, we have the Leader of the Assault Team, Erin. He is an A++ ranked Sword Warrior that has a sword companion.
"Himself and his companion, Lightning, have the ability to call forth storms and lightning that deals massive and devastating damage to the enemies.
"While many of you may be skeptical about our choice, making him the leader, since he's not particularly the highest ranker in the team, I'll have you know, again, that this is our final decision.
"During our tests, he had proven to be the best candidate for the leading position." Seeing that they were quiet, Jamie breathed a sigh of relief.
Out of everyone, only the red haired Vlad seemed to grit his teeth in annoyance, but no one noticed. He was an S ranker, and for him to be a follower of a lesser rank was nothing short of humiliation.
What made him even more sick of this, was the fact that other S ranker, Haruki, has kept quiet about it, indicating his consent.
"Sir, I have a question," Erin spoke with a respectable tone as his reddish brown hair fluttered in the air, a few streaks of neon green ran along its front, making him look even more elegant than he already is.
"Go ahead," Jamie said.
"Will the other student join us?" Erin asked. "I believe her name was Raven? The girl the Deputy General wanted to test earlier."
"Oh, that is a little bit complicated…" Jamie muttered.

-Back at the hospital-
"She's just a little stressed out, from everything that's happened…" Axane tried to ease the situation for Raven who nodded quietly. "Why do you need to go to the Demon Plane, and what is that place to start with?"
*Sigh*
"It's a place, you could say another dimension where demons live." Raven answered with a sigh. "Err by the way, where is Aella and Zeru? Did they leave with everyone else?"
"Hm, I think they were still on the rooftop, but the rest, Joey, Noah, Mike, and the rest have all left since they didn't want to overwhelm you, they said, especially after you've fallen asleep." Axane answered.
"I see," taking a deep breath, Raven decided to visit someone she never thought she'd visit. "Please tell my mom that I'll be back in a bit, I'm not going to fight anyone, ok"?
"Are you sure you don't want to talk to her? She seemed to be in distress…"
"I am aware, but I'll give her some time to sort out her thoughts, I don't want to pressure her into something she would not like."
"Uhm, I understand."
"Ok then, I'll see you in a bit," she said with a smile before disappearing from her spot.
'Where are we going?' Kayla asked as they flickered through the city.
'Oh, we're going to pay a short visit to our friend, Red Joe…' Raven replied, feeling her gaze getting cold.
