Chapter 80: Team Roles
"Okay, I'm gonna explain what are the various roles of the members of a team," said Teacher Kyleen.
She continued talking, "First, the Recon. The recon is the role in a team in which for the most time goes to the enemy's side to gain information like the enemy's positions, incoming attacks, and etc. This role is mostly filled by wind seishin practitioners because this role needs to be someone agile. Sometimes, a light seishin practitioner can fill this role but seishin practitioners of the light element have lesser seishin skills for scouting that the wind seishin practitioners."
Everyone nodded in response to what their homeroom teacher, Teacher Kyleen, had stated about them about the role of the Recon in a team. Teacher Kyleen continued in what she was explaining.
"The second role of the team is the tank. A tank usually protects his or her more fragile teammates especially the support. This battle position is usually taken by Earth seishin practitioners because they were the sturdiest seishin practitioners. The next one is the attackers. The attackers mainly focused on inflicting damages to the enemies. They are the vanguard of the team." she said.
Adele raised her left hand to ask a question. Teacher Kyleen gazed to her so she asked the question, "Do we need to have those specific elemental seishin practitioners to fill those battle positions?"
Teacher Kyleen replied, "No. There's no need for that. Those positions can be filled with other elemental seishin practitioners. But it's going to be more hassle because those specific element affinities are already tried and tested, after all, so those elemental affinities are more efficient in those specific roles."
She continued her lecture about battle positions after she answered Adele's answer.
"Now, let's move to the next battle position. We're gonna talk about the rear guard. A rearguard is a person using mostly long ranged seishin spells to attack from behind. They support the vanguards by using long-ranged seishin spells when they needed to retreat by using those long-ranged seishin spells offensive spells." She said.
Teacher Kyleen talking to make the representatives of the 210th class the battle positions in a battle, "Now, we're gonna be discussing the last battle position which is the support. The support of a team was mainly using healing seishin spells to their wounded or injured teammates, buffing seishin spells to boost their teammates' battle capacities, and defensive seishin spells to improve his or her teammates' defensive capabilities. This battle position is mostly targeted by the enemy because of it is a crucial factor to a team."
After explaining all the battle positions, Teacher Kyleen said, "Okay, you're gonna have a team fight. The team of the girls will be fighting the team of the boys. I will let you two teams have a meeting first so that you can discuss what battle positions are each of you gonna fill in. Okay, the girls go over that side and the boys go over that side."
The girls went to the side where their homeroom had pointed them to go to while the Kraftvoll and his two sworn brothers went to the opposite side.
Kraftvoll, Prince Aragorn, and Godwin started delegating duties among themselves.
"Third Brother, you're more specialized in the wind seishin element, right?" asked Kraftvoll while looking at Godwin. He nodded in response to Kraftvoll's question.
"Then, you will be the Attacker-Recon of our team," said Kraftvoll. Godwin did not try to oppose the idea because he knew that among the three, he is the most suitable for that role.
After saying that, Kraftvoll gazed toward Prince Aragorn and he asked, "How about you, Second Brother? Do you know any healing seishin spells?"
Prince Aragorn replied, "Yeah, I know some healing seishin spells in the Water and Light elements. I will take the role of Rearguard-Support of our team."
"Then I will take the Attacker-Tank role. Now that is decided, let's start planning our battle strategy!" said Kraftvoll with a smile.
Teacher Kyleen said something when they were meeting about battle strategies, "We're gonna be fighting at the sparring room of our building. You better be there after 20 minutes. I'm gonna go ahead and wait for you there to finish what you are doing here."
Teacher Kyleen went to the sparring room after saying that to her students. Both teams continued planning battles strategies after Teacher Kyleen went to the sparring room.
