"That's too harsh; they are just kids."
"Yeah, this could be too traumatic for them."
"There's no way any of them can pass this test in under three hours."
Listening to the escalating discontent from the crowd, Erina decided to address their concerns.
"We're not expecting any of them to succeed in under three hours. All we want is for them to understand their current limitations, face the best version of themselves, and overcome whatever trauma still lingers in their hearts. As Lionhart swordsmen, they must prepare their minds for any situation. Real battlefields are not as forgiving as mere illusions."
