It was already midnight; most students were tired or injured and incapable of continuing.
The danger from the Berry Thieves made it even harder for them; even if they collected more berries, it would be useless if they got stolen.
The first rule of the Royal School was 'Might is Right.'
Here, the one who complained was punished for wasting time. Because of these fights, bullying, and stealing were like cults here.
The school purposely didn't try to solve it as they knew. You have to repeatedly test an iron again and again, sometimes with fire and other times with a hammer, to shape it into a fine sword.
Bad times did make strong individuals; this also made each one of them self-dependent, mainly with the students with higher status who had been served everything on a golden platter.
The teams still hunting have reached deep into the forest because most of the berries have been collected.
