Chapter 79: Disruptor.
The golden letters materialized above each arena with crystalline clarity. Each name seemed to burn itself into the air before settling into permanent formation.
Ren’s silver eyes swept across the list appearing above his designated arena, and his expression immediately grew thoughtful.
His team composition was revealing in ways that went far beyond simple chance.
Every single teammate except himself was from Block A, creating a nine-to-one ratio that would significantly impact team dynamics!
More specifically, the three Amethyst sisters were all listed as his teammates, their names appearing orderly on the magical parchment.
The sisters weren’t just any Block A prospectives. They were widely recognized as the top three performers from their block, with coordination skills honed through years of training together.
Their presence on the same team, combined with six other Block A students, created an obvious power structure that would be difficult to navigate.
Ren’s mind began processing the deeper implications of this arrangement.
While the witch had presented this as a team qualification event, the reality was likely more nuanced. Individual contributions would almost certainly be tracked and scored separately, even if the overall team needed to succeed for anyone to advance.
This made perfect sense from an evaluation perspective. The academy needed to distinguish between team members who contributed significantly versus those who were simply carried by stronger teammates.
The tournament’s complexity suggested multiple layers of assessment beyond simple win-or-lose outcomes.
The team composition suddenly made more sense when viewed through this lens.
