The guy ahead reverted back to his original position and again covered up the gap.
Alexander didn't say anything else and just maintained a smile on his face.
"Welcome students, today we will be organizing this year's Inter-Department Rush" Instructor Moore announced excitedly as he saw through the crowd of youth standing beneath.
"Without any delay, I will be announcing some important things for this year's event. Many of you will be happy to listen to this, many of you will be sad. But, it doesn't matter. The goal of this event was never to satisfy the students, the only goal we strive for, is to find your hidden potential."
"This year's event won't be like the ones that happened in the past. After carefully thinking through many things and slowly incorporating modern techniques, we came up with this new model."
"First change is, this year's event will be held in teams. Rather being alone as a soldier, team missions are more important in terms of modern tactics."
As soon as the announcement came to a brief pause, a sudden uproar was caused, the announcement was something out of expectations for everyone. Students who were prepared for some single action were suddenly pushed into teams.
Their performance will indeed drop by leaps and bounds. And that's what the academy wanted to see. They wanted to find out elites who can adapt to the situation easily. Only they will be the future of the Eurasian Nation.
The instructor didn't pause much longer for the crowd to settle down and continued throwing out his info bombs.
"Second change is the choice of weapon and the way of elimination. This year, we will not be using limestone guns to mark anyone out. Instead, we will be using light pellet guns to let you feel some real pain. As for the elimination, we will follow the knock-out to eliminate plans. You need to make your opponent faint or give up. If your opponent makes you faint, the device we will be giving you in a while, will help us locate you and retrieve you."
"Although, this change can stir up a commotion among you students, regarding safety, but we'll be using this model. And to ensure your safety, the Combat Department will not be participating this year. This will maintain the difficulty level of the game to average. Instead, every student in the combat department will help us as volunteers to ensure everyone's safety."
Another wave of chaos was started. The changes this year were just too surprising. It was as if they were treating this event as a way to filter talents for the army.
However, the chaos died earlier than last time. Students knew more life games would be thrown towards them, soon. So they tightened their grip on their hearts and continued listening ahead.
"Last change of all. Also, this change will be much more noticeable than others. As I won't be allowing you to make teams yourself. Academy and luck will be the one to create the teams for you. Hehe"
The last 'hehe' struck the hearts of all the students. Everyone was able to feel the evil aura coming from the stage; this year's event won't be simple in any way. Now, if anyone announced that this year's event will take place in the unprotected forest rather than the protected one, they won't be surprised a bit.
Instructor Blake Moore smiled a bit upon seeing that this time there wasn't any chaos in the ground. 'These students can at least adopt this much,' He thought before continuing.
"Now I'll be announcing the rules of the event. First, the event begins at 3:00 PM today and ends at 7:00 AM tomorrow; the total duration for the Inter-Department Rush will be 16 hours. And no one can leave the event area unless they are eliminated."
"Second rule: No one should attack too strongly or with an intention to kill. Students will be constantly monitored, so they'll be caught soon and will be punished accordingly."
"Third rule: You can't bring anything inside the event area except for the items we give you."
