The invitations had not been distributed very widely, only to teams that currently had free time and were stationed in cities with relatively low attack activity.
The limitations of travel arrangements and team types had also been considered, so certain teams composed almost entirely of combat specialists had been excluded...
For example, the Mai Sui Squad.
Versatile teams, especially those that had achieved excellent results in the Association's [Magic Diversification Comprehensive Test], had become the primary targets of this invitation.
"That means you two."
Messiah sat behind her desk and looked toward the two women sitting side by side on the sofa.
Bai Lili and Qiu Gui exchanged glances, silently communicating the helplessness they both felt.
"Um, may I ask a few questions?" Qiu Gui suddenly looked at Messiah and asked in confusion.
"Of course. Ask whatever you like, but I would advise you two to finish reading the compiled file in front of you first." Messiah's expression remained calm.
"What I want to ask is, why did you choose our team? Compared to Miss Bai Lili, our Mountain City team may fall short in many ways..."
"You mean, 'not mature enough,' right?"
Messiah said,
"But I reviewed last year's nationwide Magic Comprehensive Test. Miss Qiu Gui, you and your companions achieved outstanding results in that test, tying the Bai Lili Squad for first place overall. I think that is something to be proud of."
Qiu Gui had nothing left to say, while Bai Lili's eye twitched slightly.
The two had intended to politely decline the commission, but Messiah had irrefutable evidence in hand. She had long since obtained both teams' test scores, leaving them no choice but to nod helplessly in agreement and begin carefully reading through the stack of documents before them.
You never knew until you looked.
