Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System
chapter-164

We ended up in a group of ten. There were quite a few groups. I could see that Sophie and Sei ended up in a team together, which was good. Sally ended up by herself, which worries me. And the same goes for Grace. And as for Prince Lance, I lost track of him a while ago. I think he was dragged away by an instructor.

My team consisted of four girls and six guys. The six guys were Brad, Tom, Steven, Blake, Leo, and Rick. And the other two girls were Hailey and Amanda. Surprisingly none of them seemed to be bothered by my presence. However, this might be because Adel was clinging on to my arm, guarding me like some kind of guard cat.

As for the instructor, his name was Telive. He was an elf. "Okay. I will be the one observing your test. As the Dean said, I will not interfere no matter what. So if you die, you die. There is nothing I can do about that. Although I do not think any of you will be dying today with two very talented girls in your team. You will have ten minutes. So decide on a leader of your team."

"I will do it!" Brad suddenly yelled out. Raising his hand high.

"Are you an idiot?" Steven said while shaking his head and pointing at me. "We have the Demon of the East in our team. She led an army to fight against the Norian Army during the invasion."

"Ummm… Can you please not call me that…?" Such a nickname was just. It made my teeth hurt hearing it.

"Haha! Sorry." Steven said while blushing. He seems kind of easy to talk to, but….. I will not trust people so easily…. I have to keep an eye on those around me, sadly….

Steven continued: "Anyway, like I was saying, Faith should be the leader. She has the most experience."

"I agree!" Adel raised her hand. I did not mind being the leader, but I wish someone would ask if I wanted to be the leader… And now, with Adel endorsing me, it seems the others now have no choice.

"Okay, so I am the leader. The second in command goes to Adel, while the third goes to Steve? Is that okay with everyone?" I asked. I chose Steve because he was someone who was willing to stand up and have someone with experience lead. I am not trying to be conceited, but I do not think anyone here besides me has led troops in a war.

"I agree with Faith." Hailey said while nodding her head. Amanda also nodded her head. This was followed by the rest of the guys as well.

Since we still have time, I wanted to understand what everyone's specialties were. I figured this would be the best way of going about learning everyone's strong points and would allow me to properly place people. "We still have time, so please tell me your specialties and what your best magic spells are."

"Mine is water magic. Or water slicer, to be more precise." Amanda was the first to speak. Water slicer was actually a blade of water that was highly compressed and could cut through anything if it was compressed enough.

"I am more of a sword user but can cast self buffs on my body to make me stronger and faster." Steve answered next.

"I can cast fireballs….." Hailey lowered her head as she spoke. I guess she was embarrassed about it.

"Fireballs and sword." Blake announced.

"Rock sikes and rock walls are my specialties!" Leo seemed very proud of his skills.

"Spears and lightning attacks." Brad was tall and muscular, so I guess his skills matched him.

"Mine is daggers." Rick spoke softly. It was hard to hear him

"I am good at the bow and wind magic." Tom seemed to be a half elf. But I could be wrong.

I was quite surprised at the wide variety of people skills. While most were mage users, this worked out perfectly because I do like to be up front. The only sad thing is that it seemed only I could use healing magic. But at the very least, I knew where to have everyone go while in combat.

"Time's up! Everyone, gather together. We will be using the teleport to bring you a mile out from the dungeon." At the instructor's direction, we all began to gather in the middle of the teleporter. And in under a second, we are standing deep in a forest.

Instructor Telive walked over and stood in front of us as we got used to our new surroundings. "From this moment on, you will be on your own. I can only tell you that the dungeon is to the north. Happy hunting. I hope you all can make it back."

After finishing his words, the instructor disappeared, leaving everyone here on their own. I looked up at the blue skies overhead and nodded my head in satisfaction. I guess it was now my turn to give a small speech as well. I walked to the front of the group. "While I know we should be just fine, I still wanted to say something….. Don't die. No matter what, your life is important. I will be on the front line, and I will do my best to keep you all alive. So please listen to me during combat. I will do my best to give precise directions as we fight. Let's get moving!"

There were no cheers. There was no prize. Nor did I want any. I just wanted everyone to know that life was very important and that they should do everything in their power to stay alive. Life is precious, and since the nine other members of my team were under my command, I will do everything I can to bring them all back safe and sound. I can only hope nothing strange will happen. The last thing I want is any surprises, but then again, this was a dungeon. Who knows? Maybe there is a hard mode?
