Strategy and Tactics Instructor, Joo Hye-jeong

Joo Hye-jeong, the instructor overseeing the strategy and tactics course, had resolved to win this group sparring event. The academy had announced that winning instructors would receive a bonus equivalent to three months’ salary, and despite the impressive income compared to ordinary jobs, expenses always seemed to mount up.

Furthermore, she felt the circumstances were favorable to her team this time around.

In a typical 10 vs. 10 sparring, having roles like Tank, Main Dealer, Sub Dealer, Support, Healer, and Specialist was considered optimal. It was well known that a group could only maintain maximum efficiency with six members because overlapping roles tended to drain mana more quickly, lowering overall effectiveness.

Most groups, therefore, split into two parties of five, with a main and sub attack group. However, she was different. As the instructor for strategy and tactics at the world's top educational institution, she had devised a way to manage a rotation without losing efficiency, effectively consolidating all ten members into a single team.

‘Of course, this strategy only works with these ten specific people and requires perfect coordination...’

She was confident. She’d spent two weeks of the four-week training period solely on practicing the timing for this rotation.
