In the operations room, many Elite Operators were gathered around Kaltsit and Doctor. On a screen nearby, Kanna, Nian, and Rosmontis's sparring match was being played.
When they saw Nian effortlessly block Rosmontis's attack, everyone involuntarily exclaimed, "Wow!"
After all, Nian's action seemed too exaggerated. With her arms crossed, without defending or dodging, Rosmontis's greatsword was somehow blocked outside her body.
Crucially, after Kanna entered the battlefield, with a wave of Nian's hand, Kanna also gained this 'ability', proving that this spell not only protected herself but could also be cast on others.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw this.
After all, during external missions, various battles are inevitable. Many times, because of the need to consider and protect teammates and other people or things, it's not possible to go all out.
But with Nian, such matters became much simpler. Especially for Misery, who specialized in personnel protection and escort. If he previously had to rely on his own spells to deceive enemies and conduct rescues, then with Nian assisting, the risk could be reduced to a minimum.
After all, under normal circumstances, an attack with the power of Rosmontis's strike was roughly the result of most people going all out, but it seemed such an attack would not affect Nian's shield.
And Ace, as the protector of core figures, was even more excited. From Kanna's arrival to the battle of Chernobog, he also realized that his team was completely unable to protect core targets when facing top-tier battles.
This was unacceptable for Ace, whose purpose had always been to protect others. How could he not be excited after seeing Nian's spell?
"I think this girl is good. Her spell is quite suitable for my team. How about she joins me?" While others were still shocked by Nian's easy blocking of Rosmontis's attack, Ace spoke first.
"Hey, Ace, you're shameless! Your team is already full, and you still want to ask for more people." Hearing Ace's words, the other people who had reacted couldn't help but rise to their feet.
After all, who wouldn't want a powerful and protective young lady to join their team?
Just as the operations room was trending towards becoming a marketplace, Kaltsit clapped the table, "Stop arguing. This Operator named Nian has already received approval from Doctor, Amiya, and myself to join Kanna's newly formed special support squad."
Upon learning that she already had an assignment, everyone calmed down, but Ace remained very regretful. In his opinion, someone with Nian's ability was the best choice for a protector.
"This girl's identity is not ordinary. Apart from Kanna, you can barely command her, so don't complain," Kaltsit said when she saw Ace still regretting it.
Everyone was stunned when they heard Kaltsit's words. As for Kanna, although she was a child 'picked up' by Outcast from outside, with such terrifying strength and often pulling out mysterious gadgets, everyone didn't treat her as an ordinary person.
Now another equally mysterious and powerful girl had arrived, and Kaltsit said that no one else could command her except Kanna. This made everyone wonder if Kanna's identity was perhaps a 'royal noble' from Yan?
"Although you can't invite her, I can ask about this spell. If she's willing to teach, that's best. If not, with so many talented casters at Rhodes Island, it shouldn't be a big problem to create a version you can use with similar effects."
Victor, the Rhodes Island Caster instructor beside him, patted Ace's back to comfort him.
After hearing Victor's words, Ace calmed down. He put his arm around Victor's shoulder, "Brother, I'm leaving this to you. You absolutely must make it splendid for us. But be careful, don't end up like last time, creating a weakened version of 'Thunder' and almost getting yourself killed..."
Back then, after obtaining the models for Pray for Rain and other spells from Kanna, Victor, as a resident Caster Operator of Rhodes Island, participated in the spell analysis and restoration work.
The results of the analysis were very disappointing. Many mysterious units within it could not be explained by the existing magical system. For this, he even tried to forcibly use Kanna's original module to perceive it. The result was that he was almost struck dead by lightning from the void. Fortunately, many Operators were present during the test, and with their combined help, Victor's life was saved, but he was also confined to the Medical Department for over a month.
Hearing Ace's words, Victor waved his hand, "Don't worry, doing something foolish once is enough. If I do it a second time, wouldn't I become a true fool?"
"Are you sure? When you encounter an interesting spell, will you resist the urge to experience it firsthand?"
..."Alright, I'm probably a fool, but don't worry, this time I'll set up the experiment next to the Medical Department, ensuring that even if something goes wrong, I can be rescued as quickly as possible..."
Victor's eyes darted around. As a Caster and a scholar of Originium Arts, he was very keen on learning and replicating Operators' signature spells, then adapting them into common versions.
There had been problems, of course, but he had managed to control them all with his powerful strength. Only that one time with Kanna, after using the original spell, his vision was filled with countless suddenly appearing lightning bolts. Just as he was shocked by the terrifying power of the lightning, he didn't realize he was still within the lightning itself.
Fortunately, out of curiosity at the time, several Elite Operators, including Misery and Logos, were present, wanting to understand Kanna's spell from him, and they managed to rescue him from the lightning.
"And this is the current roster for Kanna Squad. Many of them are new recruits. After the squad is formed, it will be handed over to Dobermann for a week of emergency training. I need you to ensure they are well-integrated within a week."
"That urgent?" Dobermann looked at Kaltsit, who had given the order, with a puzzled expression.
"There's been a situation in Leithanien. The Calamity Messenger requested assistance from Rhodes Island. My plan is to have Kanna's squad handle this matter. Doctor here has also agreed to this."
Hearing Kaltsit mention him, Doctor, who was beside her, nodded at Dobermann, who looked his way.
"Alright, since it's your plan, I'll do my best to complete it. But the last person here doesn't seem to be a Rhodes Island Operator, does she? I've never heard of her."
