Chapter 234 – Team Understanding
Even so, there is still a lesson to be taught. Even though this was a relatively casual lesson, the students still had to learn and take away something. Fiona was not one to bother bickering with children. In fact, she relished her charm and appeal.
Her lesson revolved around the main topic of group battles, also known as the most commonly seen five vs five. This lesson was not only applicable in the CHF, but also in their future careers, particularly in the military where most combat operations were done in groups of five. Five was the best number, as too many people would make it hard for the group to complete covert operations while too little people would result in the group would introduce weak points into the group’s arrangements.
"As of now, knowledge regarding the five man group battle have been made extensive as they have been well-documented over many years. The understanding of the typical five man group battle has changed over the years, as different factors such as the areas, academies as well as member characteristics has contributed to the meaning of this terminology. This is especially true for the past few dozens of years, as some five man formations have become a mainstay that is now used by everyone. Of course, there have been many instances where a team with a weaker configuration had defeated much stronger teams, but those are circumstantial in nature. It typically involves the implementation of good strategies and coordination, such as striking at an opponent when they least expect it. However, I wish to inform everyone here that pursuing the simplest and most conventional formation should be the goal each and every one of you should aspire to in your own academy. After all, learning that basic fundamentals will bring you far in whichever occupation catches your fancy. Placing your efforts into understanding unique formations would be a huge waste of time as most of the time, their wins are mere coincidence rather than being based on actual solid fundamentals."
With a faint smile, Fiona turned around and wrote "Multiple pairing of occupations" on the blackboard, before proceeding on with her lesson. "Though perhaps, there might be some of you that will take exception to what I have just said. If you take a look at the statistics based on the past couple of CHF competitions that have been gaining popularity, you would notice that the champions have always been using the most common formation for the last twenty odd years. This thus begs the question: why is the most common formation so good that so much time and effort have been placed into it?" questioned Fiona, keeping silent for a couple of seconds to let the question sink in. " Can any of you answer this?"
Her voice was so soothing to listen to! Her presence made many of them thankful for the opportunity to come to Copperfield Academy for the special training. Even the atmosphere within the classroom had become extraordinarily lively and vibrant.
The notion of losing face in the special class did not exist, as its main goal was for everyone to display their skills and abilities. The brighter one shone, the deeper the impression one would leave on others. Regardless of whether it was to increase in their prestige for the upcoming CHF competition, or expand their social network, being able to rise about the rest was the main goal for everyone here.
Instantly, the hall burst into discussion, everyone debating in a low voice while trying to showcase their own personal view of the issue at hand. Fiona raised her hand after a couple of moments, silencing the class immediately before point to a few students whose viewpoints had sparked her interest.
