Training Time

Duo battles—recently, the Witch Association seemed to be pushing the development of this format.

There were quite a few duo point matches on the schedule, so many clubs had formed standard two-person teams. The Sea Shepherds Club was no exception.

In the club meeting room, Leticia, acting as head coach, announced the formation of six two-person teams.

[Top-Tier Despair Team]:

Angelite, Eileen. One could imagine their opponents' despair: a sunny girl with a darkly scheming heart who never joked around, and a purely kind yet perverted girl who, watched by that sunny schemer, could not pull any antics.

[Bug Team]:

Angelite/Eileen, Chu Yujun. The reason Sister Chu Zi, despite being so weak, got to compete was that the monk class had a low matching rating, allowing either of the two comparatively high-rated witches to be pulled into mid-to-high-tier matches.

[Big Lin Zhaojun and Little Lin Zhaojun Team]:

Big Lin was Miyamoto Mo Na, while Little Lin was Lin Zhaojun, with Nana's playstyle as the core.

[Big Miyamoto Mo Na and Little Miyamoto Mo Na]:

Big Na was Nana, while Little Na was A Lin, with A Lin's playstyle as the core.

[Anbao Anbao]:

The final team was the [Point-Mooching Cheer Squad], made up of Jiang Han and Nana. They were both pretty and cute, making them well suited to casually coast through matches. Their comparative ratings were so low that, unless they ran into similarly level-suppressed experts who loved stomping weaker players—like a team from
