Dekan's Limited-Time Teammate

"We're still short one person."

Dekan leaned back on the sofa, his head tilted back.

Without Morion, Dekan felt half the fun was gone.

The best part about teaming up with Morion is that Dekan can not only sabotage the opponents, but also Morion.

So even if you include the slacker Cat Teacher, their Beautiful Soul Squad only has four members now.

For this Tier 7 team assessment, they need to find a temporary member to help them form a team of five to start the game.

"Go ask His Majesty the King; he'll definitely arrange the most suitable seventh-tier teammate for you, meow."

"Cat Teacher suggested."

"The royal palace isn't a place you can just go to casually. Do you think His Majesty the King has a lot of free time?"

Dekan glared at Cat Teacher.

Even if Dekan now has sufficient reason to seek the King's help, he cannot take the palace for granted as a community service center.

Dekan still liked the king who had been quietly helping him.

As long as you're a Pro-Dekan Faction, Dekan will treat you as a friend.

So even if he had to ask the king for help, Dekan would first go to the principal and follow the proper procedures to report it.

Instead of directly bothering the king.

"So where are you planning to find teammates, meow?"

Cat Teacher felt that Dekan had no intention of asking anyone for help in recruiting teammates.

It seems that Dekan already has a pretty good idea of the answer in his heart.

However, as far as Cat Teacher knows, there are currently no students in this school who have reached the seventh level.

The seventh-tier squad assessment stipulates that the maximum rank for participants is seventh tier.

Therefore, it's not worth it if you don't find a Tier 7 teammate.

"Actually, I think there's a pretty suitable candidate, but I don't know if she'll agree."

At this moment, Dekan thought of his half-sister again—

Mie, the Venom Sorcerer.

Although Mie always politely declined to challenge the Shadow World, saying things like "office workers don't like fighting" and "I'm an Alchemy Academy student, I don't need to complete the Shadow World to graduate."

But for this seventh-tier team assessment, after much thought, Dekan decided that rather than finding an unfamiliar person from the Living World, it would be better to find a close friend from the Underworld with whom he had excellent compatibility.

I wonder what the rules will be for the five-person group competition in the Artificial Shadow World this year.

However, even in the most classic 5v5 situation, they can still Cornelia top lane, Croix mid lane, Dekan jungle, and Mie and Cat Teacher bot lane.

Very stable.

"I haven't seen Mie for several days. It seems she's been spending her vacation at the palace with Alice."

Dekan thought for a moment, picked up the Cat Teacher, and decided to go to the palace to find Mie.

Norton Kingdom Palace.

A faint fragrance of flowers wafted through the back garden, bringing a sense of tranquility to the mind.

Dekan and Mia Alice met here on a bench carved from white stone.

After the palace guards informed Dekan of his request to see Alice and his purpose, Alice quickly brought Mie to welcome Dekan to the palace.

Dekan then went straight to the point and told Mie his request.

"Hmm, do you really want me? I just reached level five, and my profession is a healer."

Mie gave her the smile she often wore and asked.

"You calling yourself a doctor is as ridiculous as me calling myself a priest."

Dekan shook his head with a mocking smile on his face.

They're all seasoned veterans at lying about their professions.

Mie pouted, but it was obvious that her sulking was feigned.

"Me? Me? If Mie doesn't want to go, I can go with you!"

Alice pointed to herself and asked eagerly from the side.

Dekan simply looked at her.

Then he gave a polite smile.

He didn't say a word.

Alice felt that Dekan was calling her an idiot, but she had no proof.

"I just wanted to help you guys..."

Alice lowered her head, poked her index finger to the side, and muttered something.

Dekan: "After all, you are a princess. If we take you abroad, the situation will be completely different."

Alice: "Alright then."

In fact, Dekan had considered taking the boss through the drawing process.

After all, if he could help Alice pass the seventh-tier squad assessment, she would definitely be able to enjoy the feeling of showing off.

But this time, neither the assessment nor the journey will be peaceful.

They can protect themselves, but if anything happens to Alice, it will be irreparable.

"Have you noticed that if I join your team as a temporary member, Cornelia is the only main damage dealer, and the other four are all supports?"

Mie seems to want Dekan to seriously consider the team structure and the feasibility of a four-protect-one strategy.

"My dear sister, stop pretending. Do you think I don't know whether you can fight or not?"

Dekan couldn't stand people with power level A or above calling themselves clerical staff.

He knew about Mie's attribute test scores.

Her attribute growth is very strange.

Not only strength, but also Magic Power, physical strength, and mental strength are all A-level.

Dekan had never seen anyone with such balanced attribute growth as Mie.

However, this guy insisted on taking an office job.

Mie: "But I'll miss a lot of classes going there and back..."

Dekan: "The principal said we'll get a vacation, academic credits, and passing the seventh-level team assessment will directly count towards our graduation project."

Mie hesitated for a moment, still looking somewhat reluctant.

"Let's make it clear first, if I go, I'll slack off just like Cat Teacher."

"Meow meow meow! How can playing support be called slacking off?!"

Cat Teacher seemed somewhat displeased with Mie's blunt honesty.

Mie smiled again, said nothing, and took a small, specially made cat treat from her pocket, handing it to the Cat Teacher.

The Cat Teacher pounced on it as if it couldn't control itself and bit it off.

"Meow meow meow!? What's this? Meow! It's so delicious!"

The Cat Teacher's excited voice reached the three of them, and its eyes were already glued to Mie.

However, Mie simply stretched out her hands, waiting for the Cat Teacher.

Cat Teacher hesitated for a moment.

"Meow!"

She jumped into Mie's arms.

Dekan looked at the cat that had been so easily tricked and sighed with a sense of disappointment.

It's better to take the cat out less often in the future.

Otherwise, they might be abducted by the Resurrection Church one day.

"At least put in some effort. If you can't be an assassin, at least be a poison master, okay?"

Dekan said with a hint of helplessness.

"Since you've asked me so sincerely, I'll make an exception and help you this time!"

Mie gazed at Dekan quietly, and after thinking for a long time, finally agreed.

Dekan: "Then I'll be going now. See you at school."

Mie: "Okay."

However, Mie found that Dekan was still standing there and hadn't left.

Mie: "Is there anything else?"

Dekan: "Give me back my cat."

Mie: "..."

She reluctantly handed the Cat Teacher to Dekan, muttering a few words in a barely audible voice.
