[Magus Academy Mid Test]
[Location - Planet Andora]
[L Type Planet - Calamity Level 2]
[Duration - 10 days]
[Clear up as many objectives as possible]
"Alright, I know some of you are excited about this, and some of you are anxious. This is an unusual situation in which acolytes are sent to real-life missions. But that's why we are here: we are going to help each other get through this!" Said the young Harlight acolyte.
"Your friend is really talented at this, isn't he?" Annara said with a smirk on her face, looking at how Roran showed his diplomatic talent.
Hearing the girl, to be completely honest, Emery wasn't sure if he could classify Roran as a friend. In spite of the fact he was somehow dependable during the last game against the Bone Dragon, Emery still could not forget their last year's game in which Roran switched sides and betrayed them for his benefits.
Since Emery looked doubtful, Annara was prompted to ask, "What is it? Is he not trustworthy?"
"I believe he is. However, he's an opportunist so…" Emery remarked after giving it a little thought. "I guess for me, he's as trustworthy as you," he added with a smile.
The red haired girl quickly replied with a wink, "The best kind, then."
Seconds later, Roran gave a brief summary of the situation they were going to face. There had already been some information given by the academy, such as the planet details, monsters and other relevant information. Roran, on the other hand, was about to share what wasn't covered in the brief, i.e. the information from his family intel.
"First, we are given such a mission because a large portion of the magus had been sent to the front lines. So, our daring new Headmaster thought it was a good idea to send acolytes in real-life battle, something about shaping a better generation," he said with a mocking tone.
Some of them were laughing when they heard that. Making fun of the new headmaster was always a popular subject that made acolytes amused. After the laughs died down, the young Harlight prince continued.
"The second point worth mentioning is that, for those who are not familiar with calamity stage planets, the calamity level prediction is rarely if ever accurate. So we might be facing a 10 days relaxing trip with a level 1 calamity stage or it might end up with lots of dead people because of a level 3. Consider yourself warned."
This second piece of information quickly made them all stop laughing. They were well aware this was a real life and death mission. They had to be prepared for any potentially dangerous situation they might encounter.
The tone of the conversation abruptly became much more serious. Realizing the atmosphere had become quite tense, Roran immediately stated,
"But don't worry, the magus academy will prepare extreme measures to make sure that we, the future generation, do not become the last generation."
Once again the mass turned to chuckle. This was what Roran did to charm the audience, the man really loved his speeches.
A moment later, he took out a cube and a beam of light immediately came out shining in the sky above them. It showed a picture of planet Andora, making the group focus on the projected picture.
There were three main continents that filled the planet, which were called sector 1 to sector 3, while in the center, there was a medium-size island shaded in red with the word "restricted" written across it.
When everyone got a second look at the picture, Roran continued.
"It has been decided we will be separated into three sectors, but unfortunately, until the mid-test starts, we won't know which sector we will be assigned to. What I know is that there will be 10 groups per sector and there will also be the magus alliance official team joining to make sure the objectives are achieved," Roran explained.
All of them stayed silent and paid close attention to what he was saying. Roran then reminded that the mission would not be easy, as there would be millions of creatures roaming around the place.
Roran took a little breath, before continuing.
"Now, on a more serious note, we all know the most dangerous creatures we will see down there are not the monsters, but the other acolytes around us. When a mission turns into a contest that is worth hundreds of thousands of contribution points, people will do unpredictable things."
There would be points for every objective received and there were minimum points that had to be achieved to pass the test, not passing such a number would mean a failure in the test. Unsurprisingly, the requirements were different for each class.
[Privilege 500,000 points]
[Elites 300,000 points]
[Regular 200,000 points]
There was also the group points bonus that would be given for being the one with the most accumulated points.
[Group rank 1 - 500,000 points]
[Group rank 2 & 3 - 300,000 points]
[Group rank 4 & 5 - 200,000 points]
[Group rank 6 - 10 - 100,000 points]
[Group rank 11- 20 - 50,000 points]
This number meant a regular acolyte fortunate enough to be in the top five would be guaranteed a pass in the test. Counting that all groups counted at least one privilege acolyte, none of these privilege acolytes wanted to be in the bottom 10 and some clashes would most likely to happen.
Roran continued to explain about how things would be difficult when the people around them started to have objectives that differed from the one given by the magus alliance, and how it would be great if they had allies on the ground that would cooperate with one another.
It appeared the majority of them agreed with him. They nodded their heads in accord, as they realized that his statements made sense. Roran's words, as expected by some, led to one act.
With his signal, his men started handing out the [Soul Contract] to all the acolytes. Following that, he began to explain,
"It is an agreement we will not hurt each other during the test, and of course, the appointment of the leader of this group, which is me, Roran, and my dear friend who has proven his value in the last game, Julian, as the second in command."
Everyone received a copy and one also fell to Emery. After taking a quick read on it, he shifted his gaze to the two teammates, "What do you think?"
