"Viola, Yuka. Do you remember the rules?
Confirm this is the first year of the challenge.
Tomorrow, the Forest Survival Games. I gathered my friends after school and had a final meeting in an empty classroom.
"Of course."
"Yes! I look forward to working with everyone this time."
They both answer willingly.
I'm a first-year student, but no one seems to recognize me. Well, it's certainly the best veteran.
"Oh, I'm sick of moving around in the woods again."
Tilda doesn't seem to like this event very much, not just those who are looking forward to it.
Sure, survival with a young lady feels like an adversary, but in this country, a young lady of nobility would rather be a good fighter.
I'm not very good at the woods, either.
Danielle, who grew up in the sea, agreed. In that regard, the desert seems to resemble the territory's viola.
"If you don't get used to mountains and forests, you'll lose your feet in unexpected ways."
Only Sonia, who has a forest in her own territory, can be said to be a pretty good field.
That's why this lecture focuses on how to walk and spend time in the forest.
The tournament takes place in a fairly large Farn Forest, just north of King's Landing.
Fostering responsiveness while offering a variety of experiences in extreme conditions is also an important challenge for this event.
It is forbidden to bring any equipment other than that specified by the school. In the name of survival, everything that is absolutely necessary, including food and beverages, must be sourced locally.
It takes almost half a day from dawn to sunset, and if you don't know at least the water field, you'll be sure to retire. If you don't like hunger, you have to raise food on your own.
In that sense, I wonder if only Sonia and I will be able to survive in the forest. On the first day, I used to go camping with my family. If it's a long half-day, I don't even have a tent. If we can get the worst water, we can handle it.
One of the eye-catching features of the tournament is the movement restrictions in the opposite sense of Battle Royal.
The forest shall be divided into at least 15 compartments and shall not be allowed to exit from the same compartment for an hour.
For example, it's okay to hold a brain member with poor motor skills all the way around a fixed range, but you can't move to the adjacent compartment. The point is that it is practically forbidden to travel at a distance at a knight's speed that exceeds the average person.
This is a rule that was enacted almost half a century ago because Gideon and I went too far.
Gidion held me, traveled fast while hunting monsters, and decided to win in less than an hour with the role of answering checkpoints and seeing through mappers and traps.
As a result, non-combatants moved quickly, and the way they did it became a pandemic the following year. The movement restriction rules were put in place to prevent that.
I mean, basically, you can walk on your own. We've made it so much harder to make a distance even if we carry it around. This is because the current location of all students is well monitored and alerted as soon as a violation occurs.
Finally, the same rule applies to the inclusion of one non-combatant for each two combatants.
Because the two of us, Gideon and I, were too strong to compete because of the excessive difference in combat power.
If you're teaming up with each other, it means shackling your feet.
So even though you can't fight or prophets, you can actually put them in the combat side as a classification. In short, it is a rule to not allow solitary confinement to special abilities.
During the Zachariah period, when I saw Roxanne and Ada's party as the teachers, I realized that this was indeed cheating. Even if I let the average person carry the luggage, it was a level that I could manage with plenty of room.
As a rule, I'm supposed to be a fighter now, but I didn't use any prophecy, so I just missed it.
In this way, the newly set rules and ties are still everywhere because of Gideon and me.
It is now a pleasant memory that I was quite surprised when I returned as a teacher once I graduated.
It will be quite a difficult event in terms of physical strength, but of course, safety aspects are fully taken into account. All the young people who will carry the country in the future. If you crush it to build it up, you'll end up falling.
As with the Royal Battle, it also casts a Defensive Magic spell and holds its own Distress Signal magic items. If you signal an injury or a retirement, rescue will arrive immediately. In other words, all students are vitally checked and rescued immediately when they lose consciousness.
And beware that non-combatants will have magic that will not be attacked by monsters. There are four kinds of monsters in the forest where the venue is located, all of which are relatively small enough to be effective in shadow magic.
Even the stronger ones, apprentice knights and wizards can be roughly defeated if they all work together.
Fighters need to fight monsters and are allowed to bring in only one of their favorite weapons.
I want to say that the surveillance and rescue assistant has received full cooperation from the Knights and the Magicians. However, due to the noise in King's City in recent years, many members of the Guard have been divided into the duties of King's Capital, and this year the number of people is a little lonely. But I hire a lot of people from the outside.
Tilda wants trouble, but from my point of view, I feel like a little entertainment facility where you can enjoy thrills safely in a world without an amusement park or anything.
Well, I'll meet you there tomorrow, so rest early tonight, don't be late.
We have finished our last meeting.
When I say time, I have to come in around 5: 00 in the morning, so it's pretty tight there. Of course, I'm motivated, and I've been getting used to getting to bed early and getting up early for a few days. It's already started with physical fitness.
Well, it's pretty easy to get around because we have our own carriage full of ladies.
Once they have assembled at school, the students will be transported together to the southern side of the Fahn Forest Zone, where they meet. If you think about it, you can't say luxury.
Anyway, I look forward to tomorrow.
I thought about it at the Battle Royal, but I can't help but enjoy the routine of fighting on the same terms as everyone else without a prophecy. I'm sorry to lose, but it's fun.
It's really exciting not knowing what's going to happen tomorrow.
Oh, I wonder if it will be early tomorrow.
