The Archery Department's "Cooperative Exercise Agreement" quickly triggered a chain reaction within the academy's inner circle. As the first external cooperative action following the five mentors' joint assessment battle, it not only validates the magical department's spell system in the field, but also marks the formal debut of Fengke's spellcraft strategist team. This is their first time engaging in strategic cooperation with other departments.
"Are you saying that the designated training ground is... Red Wind Canyon?" Elvie frowned deeply. "That's a testing ground frequently used by the Swordsmanship Department in the early years. It has narrow terrain and strong winds, so it's not suitable for spell deployment."
"Precisely because it's not suitable is why the cooperation is significant." Fengke sat calmly at the tactical simulation table, having already analyzed the information sent by the Archery Department, including route maps and participant configuration. He had constructed three feasible models in the fastest time.
Livia leaned against the window, her gaze moving beyond the tactical board to the distant horizon. "They are also watching to see if we can truly achieve results with the magical department in such treacherous environments."
"Moreover, hidden within this collaborative invitation is a second line."
She circled the mentor's seal at the bottom corner of the scroll and lightly traced it. The runes faintly emerged.
"Alternate Hunt Assessment."
Assessment Subject: Spellcraft Strategist — Fengke
Accompanying Assessment Mentor: No description available
Target Detection Indicators: Spell deployment speed, adaptability to complex terrain, and integration capabilities for non-direct combat forces."
"This is the B-level on-site certification evaluation model for the mentor meeting," Ilfi said softly. "As long as you pass, they will officially include you as a tactical deployment candidate at the college level, with the authority and resources to schedule."
"But if you fail..." Livia said quietly.
"You'll just be a failed conceptual strategist, and the 'Magic Department' will be defined as a 'tactically unusable unit.'"
The room fell into a moment of silence.
"It seems we must win, and we must win beautifully."
Feng Ke stood up and firmly placed the scroll on the table.
"Mobilize Canglu, Ilfi, Livia, and all members of the spell structure group. We will complete a simulated drill before sunset today."
"I want the Archer Department to understand—"
"The Magic Department is not just an auxiliary following the tactical team."
"We are the starting point of the entire battlefield."
Meanwhile, at the Archer Department's training ground, a girl as cold as ice looked up at the sky.She wore a deep blue archery cloak and had her long hair tied into a neat, high ponytail. There was a faint red interlacing pattern above her left eye. She was Huangtang Li Yin, the inheritor of the first-generation Huangtang family and one of the main forces of the Archer Department today.
"Is that person really the tactical strategist you mentioned?" she asked softly to the instructor beside her.
The instructor nodded gently. "The mentor meeting has already tacitly acknowledged his command level as A-level."
"That's good."
Li Yin tightened her gloves and stepped into the training ground. "I hope he can withstand my arrow."
