Professor Savant prepared the holographic display to project the location of the scenario, and the image shifted to a tropical island surrounded by azure waters.
"This island named Q-23 will be the location of your scenario," Professor Savant announced. "You find yourselves on a deserted island after a shipwreck, accompanied by a group of 20 other survivors of various ages. Your mission is to guide, protect, and lead this diverse group to the highest point of the mountain. There, you must signal for rescue, and a helicopter will be dispatched to evacuate all of you. The helicopter will land on the other end of the island so you have to make it there in 5 days. If not the helicopter will leave and you will be stranded on the island. "
The hologram displayed the island's terrain, showcasing dense forests, rocky terrain, and a looming mountain at the centre.
"Now, let's discuss the challenges you'll face on this island," Professor Savant continued. "There are limited resources—food, water, and shelter. The weather is unpredictable, and the terrain is varied, ranging from dense forests to rocky cliffs. Additionally, the island is not uninhabited; there are wild animals that pose potential threats."
"Now, let me introduce you to the survivors, there will be 20 survivors alongside your group, so it would total a 25-person group on the island. Among these survivors you can find some that may be injured, some may possess survival skills, and a few may even possess medical expertise. This will all be random and given to you on the day of the presentation. But you need to be prepared to handle large groups. " Professor Savant continued.
"As the team leader, your responsibilities include strategizing to overcome obstacles, managing resources effectively, and ensuring the safety and well-being of everyone in your group. Challenges you might face include securing food and water, navigating through challenging terrain, and addressing potential conflicts within the group."
He paused before adding, "The final objective is to reach the mountain's summit and successfully signal for rescue and then create a detailed plan to go to the other end of the island where the chopper will land and of course survival of the whole group is mandatory. Now, let's discuss what your presentation or plan should include."
Professor Savant highlighted several key elements on the holographic display. "Firstly, your plan should address how you'll organize and manage the group. Assign roles based on individual strengths, and ensure effective communication. Consider the allocation of tasks such as navigation, resource gathering, and security."
He continued, "Next, address potential challenges. Factor in possible weather changes, wildlife encounters, and any interpersonal issues that may arise within the group. Your plan should demonstrate foresight and adaptability."
The hologram shifted to a timeline, showing the progression of the five days. "Provide a day-by-day breakdown of your strategy. What tasks will you prioritize each day? How will you adapt if unexpected challenges arise? Detailing your plan in this manner will showcase thorough preparation and foresight."
Professor Savant emphasized the importance of teamwork. "Remember, the success of your mission is not solely based on reaching the summit but doing so with all members of your group. A fragmented team will not succeed. Demonstrate cohesion, leadership, and resilience in your plan."
"Your presentation will be evaluated based on the effectiveness of your strategy, adaptability to unforeseen circumstances, and successful navigation through the challenges presented. Good luck, and may your leadership guide your team to triumph in this survival scenario." Professor Savant said as he closed the hologram. "The whole information will be soon transferred to you"
"Oh yes I might have forgotten to add This island is inhabited by lots and lots of Awakened Flora so take that also into consideration" said the professor as he walked out of the room.
"he forgot my a** Professor savant awakened power is
Well, his anger was valid, the professor did tell us about the Awakened Fauna at last for the flare of things but most important was how the difficulty of the scenario has risen extremely high. In the classes, they have been told about the awakened flora before and he still remembers how shocked he was at that time.
Awakened Flora, a term that strikes both awe and fear in the hearts of those familiar with its existence, refers to a unique and perilous manifestation of awakened abilities within the plant kingdom. In a world where individuals possess extraordinary powers, the flora, too, has proven its capability to evolve and gain supernatural attributes.
These awakened plants exhibit an array of abilities beyond the ordinary scope of nature. Some species develop heightened intelligence, allowing them to communicate with each other and even strategize against potential threats. Others acquire defensive mechanisms, such as thorns or toxins, to fend off herbivores and unwanted intruders. The most formidable among them, however, possess offensive capabilities, using their awakened powers to ensnare, entangle, or even consume living organisms.
The danger lies in the unpredictability and adaptability of these awakened flora. As they evolve, they can rapidly adjust to their surroundings, making them formidable opponents in both natural ecosystems and conflict zones. Some species have been reported to mimic the appearance of harmless vegetation, only to reveal their true, deadly nature when triggered by external stimuli.
Furthermore, the awakened flora's ability to manipulate surrounding plant life poses a significant threat. It can propagate rapidly, transforming once benign landscapes into dense, hazardous environments. The control over nearby plants allows them to form intricate networks, aiding in coordinated attacks or creating impenetrable barriers.
Moreover, attempts to eradicate these awakened plants often prove challenging, as they resist conventional methods due to their unique abilities. Most such plants have regenerative properties which means that even if the tree is burned it would grow back by absorbing nutrients from the soil, the only way is to destroy its core, it is a special kind of root node where researchers believe their sentience lies if we destroy the node the Awakened flora dies. But the node is heavily guarded and often deep inside the ground making it very hard to deal with.
In essence, the presence of awakened flora represents a very much bigger challenge than they had expected than before, if the challenge had been to survive on the island for 5 or even 10 days this would have been easy, but nothing is easy in VoloriusAcademyy ever. Now with the new challenge and a short duration of 3 days, they have to come up with a plan to overcome this obstacle.
