Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Treacot. (Part 1)

After Instructor Londra’s announcement, the Cadets become excited, as they basically have a whole week of vacations.

The Zeppler continues its course, arriving at Themey’Rhán City; From there, the entire Cadets follow the orders of their respective Instructors.

Nevertheless, all of them walk in the same direction, and without further ado, nor waiting for additional explanations, the Exploration Squadrons enter in the City, displaying the Credentials of their Academies, as a proof of their identities.

Some Exploration Groups deviate from the rest, while others continue with their stroll over the streets of Themey’Rhán.

A few minutes later, they arrive at a large building in which it is possible to see countless Cadets, Recruits and Instructors of a lot of different Academies.

"What all of you are observing, is The Recreation, Exchange and Accommodation Center Of Themey’Rhán"; Says Instructor Londra with her usual stern attitude, as the Cadets of Tiaone advance towards the large building.

Once inside, Instructor Londra speaks up towards the Cadets "I recommend all of you to spend the rest of your stay, here in Treacot, of course, all of you have the liberty of going out, or even search for other accomodation, if that is what you prefer"...

{I suppose that is a wink towards any person who likes to spend Credits, the Rwöllmör and Gygxz’Kander Families being the most prone to this wasteful behavior...}

"However, non of you is exempt from tasks to be performed and fulfilled, and seeing there is an ongoing challenge here on Treacot, you will have to participate in it"...

Instructor Londra signals with her right index finger, a screen atop of the Reception, where a leaderboard shows Names of Teams, followed by a number that represent their Score.

There are plenty of Teams registered, more than eighteen thousand, yet, and strangely, the first ten positions have a Score that doesn’t surpass the 25 Points, as the Team in first place, has 24 Points, and every other Team has less than 19 Points.

{Why are these Scores so low?, Especially since this Challenge has started almost seven hours ago...}

Khallyon’s confusion is understandable, as he doesn’t know the context nor the rules for the Challenge.

"For fairness purposes, all of you will be separated and limited to Teams of four Cadets accompanied by one Instructor"...

{Fairness?, What does that mean?...}

"Said Instructor will choose one Cadet, who in turn will select one teammate, the last two members of these temporary Teams will be selected randomly"...

{I suppose this approach is a suggestion from Urrein, although tricky, this disposition can help us to discriminate and corner the Culprits of the previous Timeline Iteration, at least if they really are here...}

"All Cadets must gather an average Score of 30, that means a total of 120 Score per Team"...

{Isn’t that too easy?...}

"Have present, that each Point of Score can be obtained solely from Singularity Shards with a minimum of Category 2, which is equal to one Score Point, and of course, if any of you acquire a Shard of a Repercussion, Trait, Artifact, or simply a higher value Singularity Shard, that will be taken into account and rated appropriately, based on the real difficulty of acquisition"...

{Interesting... , So, for whatever reason, Here on Themey’Rhán, Creatures that possess a Category 3 Singularity and above are scarce and less dangerous than the norm in the rest of Leathemnur, No wonder Londra cancelled the expedition, as here, such event is technically handicapped...}

"Remember, the minimum score your Team requieres, is 120 Points, However, those Teams that manage to exceed 325 Points of Score, will be considered for a promoting in their current Access Grade"...

Murmurs are heard among the Cadets, since a Higher Access Grade allows them to have certain advantages, as it is no different than boasting their prowess without being arrogant or presumptuous, which is respected by most, even Royalty and Nobility can’t overlook a person with High Access Grade.

"Cadets, Don’t get distracted, I have not finished the announcement..."; Instructor Londra speaks without raising her womanly stern voice, placating the whispering gossips as the Cadets become curious and anxious about what other surprise are going to be mentioned.

"Any Cadet that manages to achieve more than 175 Points of Score, will obtain the permission to enter in the Vault of Tiaone, and pick up a Shard with Five Novas Of Rarity... , and if this it is not sufficient incentive, check out the Reward List here on Treacot, I am sure some of the prizes will undoubtedly caught the attention of most of you"...

{Really?, I genuinely doubt anything in this Reward List would surprise me...}

"Do not forget to visit the Imperishable Monoliths, and do not attempt to cheat by buying the Shards to have more free time... , Instructors, proceed".

With the order of Instructor Londra, the other Instructors stand in front of a Cadet, who in turn, chooses a teammate.

Instructor Medraniss, picked up Neillburn, and he obviously chose his Half Sister Naylyn, who wasn’t pleased with such decision, as she wanted to be with her Boyfriend and Future Husband.

In the case of Khallyon, Instructor Londra is the one standing before him, and as it could not be otherwise, he chooses Yi’Onnaisse.

With the Teams partially completed, the Instructors and the Cadet they chose, put their right hand in a bag that is carried by Instructor Urrein.

From said bag, comes out the Name and the designation of two Cadets, showing the last members of each Team.

The Rogue Cadet and Instructor Londra wait shortly for their turn, and as soon as they introduce their hands in the pouch, the Cadet’s Names appear, Thá’Ïtza Nòïrdbrïón and Que’Yïrha Krïm’Knouldt.

Both Females are tall, not on Yi’Onnaisse bracket, but they still surpass the four meters of height.

"Cadet COCK-69, From this moment and until I say otherwise, You are the person in charge of this Team, hence, you have the responsibility for every person in the Team".

{*Sigh*, Why I am not even surprised by this event... , *Sigh*, wait, everyone in the Team, perhaps that includes Londra...}
