Tei having already passed a trial shouldn't be a problem. As stated above, the whole process isn't just about whether or not the students can hold their own: it's also about testing their ability to cooperate and work together to find greater strength as members of a unit than they could ever possess as individuals. In that respect, it doesn't matter that Tei managed once, because he's going to be finding a brand-spanking-new team, and the dynamics will be so different that it'll be an entirely different experience. (At least in theory...)

I do kind of wish that we could do a different kind of trial than the chess piece scenario (it feels like it's just a cookie-cutter event if you do the same thing every time), but Alex has a point: the elements of the unknown would be working against us, and since we're just getting our team started, we ought to avoid getting overwhelmed by unknowns.

Lastly, I bet Vespa and Lan would also work pretty well together, him taking down the tough Grimm while she handles the quick ones. Tei would probably work well as a bodyguard or a spotter for Rima, too. Let me know if you'd prefer a different setup.
