The unpleasant piano as the usual "Ahh annoying" Felix said waking up, after doing his basic morning routine he headed straight to the Large meeting hall of where the survived students gather to listen to the irritating old man or the headmaster, the head master ascended the stage and started his speech with his usual threats "its either you become a hero or YOU die"
Continued talking the headmaster "today we'll look into the history of the Whitehaven Academy, Whitehaven Academy was instituted in the 15th century by the legendary heroine Mary Whitehaven, who was granted all the kinds of superpowers, Mary Whitehaven wrote so many books explaining the magic and the superpowers for the next generation of heroes to safeguard the world, and defend the innocent
Felix listened as the headmaster droned on, his threats ringing empty in Felix's mind. This was not the first time he had heard the headmaster's speech about becoming a "hero" or risking death. Felix knew he was no hero, and he accepted that fate long ago. Felix glanced around the meeting hall, noting the other survivors with boredom and disdain. He was tired of hearing the same old story about Mary Whitehaven and her "legendary" superpower. He was just counting the seconds until he could escape this meeting and go back to his dorm.
Felix observed a cluster of fellow survivors engaged in hushed conversations, their glances occasionally directed towards him. It crossed Felix's mind that they might be discussing him, although he couldn't be certain. Uninterested in their chatter or opinions, he shifted his attention to the ongoing speech. Despite his attempts to concentrate, his thoughts meandered, and his gaze wandered around the assembly hall. Each glance revealed more seemingly familiar faces among the survivors. Something felt amiss; Felix sensed he should recognize them, yet their names remained just beyond his grasp.
Felix experienced an uncanny sensation of familiarity with every survivor in the room, a nagging feeling that he ought to recognize them. However, their identities remained elusive, their names lost to him. As breakfast was announced, Felix and his team headed straight to their designated table in the cafeteria. Amidst bites of morning sustenance, Rae queried the group, "Any guesses on today's lesson?" Luke responded, "Probably as demanding as always." They carried on with their meal, mulling over the anticipated challenges of the day's lesson.
Following breakfast, the teams adjourned from the cafeteria, meeting their assigned swordsmen outside. Felix and his team were led into a room adorned with a substantial table at its center, the chairs strategically distanced from each other. Placed upon the table was an array of food. Their master materialized, offering the customary greeting befitting a master, before announcing, "Today's lesson revolves around decision-making. It's not particularly strenuous; one among you will partake of this feast while the remainders shall abstained for 3 days" remember if no one eats, all of you are dead
Perplexed and tinged with a hint of fear, Rae glanced around at her fellow teammates, noticing mirrored expressions of confusion and apprehension. "This seems like it's about to get tougher," she muttered, her uncertainty echoing the sentiments shared by the rest of the group.
"How on earth do they expect one person to consume all of this?" Theo interjected, a weariness in his voice reflecting the effort to comprehend the impending challenge. "It's an excessive amount for just the seven of us, especially if they're planning to keep the rest of us starving," he sighed, trying to anticipate the nature of this new challenge while grappling with the weight of its implications. The team exchanged concerned glances, each member silently wrestling with the daunting task laid before them.
As Theo voiced his apprehension about the upcoming trial, Rae and her teammates continued to exchange worried glances. Their shared unease hung palpably in the air, a collective sense of foreboding settling among them. It felt as though each member harbored the same degree of worry and disquiet, an unspoken understanding passing between them that their current predicament was fraught with challenges beyond comprehension.
Despite this pervasive sense of concern, they maintained a steadfast silence, realizing there was no luxury of time to articulate their fears or uncertainties.
Confronted by the gravity of the task ahead, the team steeled themselves, recognizing the imperative to unite and strategize in the face of what appeared to be an insurmountable challenge. Suppressing their individual anxieties, they sought collective solutions, determined to pool their strengths and skills to conquer this seemingly impossible feat. Their gaze shifted past the veil of fear and uncertainty, each member resolved to confront the obstacles head-on, their collective will bolstering them against the looming adversity.
The enormity of the challenge demanded unity and cooperation, an acknowledgment that only through collaboration could they hope to tilt the odds in their favor. While acknowledging the urgency of the situation, the team also realized the futility of dwelling on the task's magnitude. They understood that concealing their apprehensions would only lead to failure. Thus, they drew upon their reserves of determination and bravery, forging ahead despite the pervasive fear and uncertainty.
Though the odds appeared overwhelming, the survivors recognized the imperative of solidarity, realizing that their success hinged on their ability to transcend individual fears and work harmoniously. It was a daunting endeavor that required unity, trust, and a steadfast commitment to collaboration. Only by combining their strengths and fostering a sense of collective purpose could they hope to navigate this formidable challenge and emerge
"Alright, everyone, let's not squander any time; we've got a six-hour window to crack this, just like the usual," Felix stated, his confusion evident. Sebastian followed up, striving to infuse some hope into the team, "This puzzle is undoubtedly solvable. We need to brainstorm ideas, explore every possibility, and strategize our way through it." With a nod of agreement, Sebastian attempted to bolster the team's morale, "We're in this together, and together, we can crack this puzzle. We just need to ditch our doubts and dive in. Let's tap into our creativity and think innovatively to beat the clock."
Felix acknowledged Sebastian's rallying words, realizing the urgency to commence immediately. "What do we have as puzzle clues?" Felix prodded, eager to set their collective thoughts in motion towards a solution. "Let's pool together what we've gathered so far," Sebastian chimed in, hoping to kickstart their problem-solving process. His insistence aimed to redirect their focus onto dissecting the clues at hand. Felix nodded, eager to unravel the puzzle's mystery, prompting his team once more, "What have we managed to uncover about this puzzle?"
Sebastian sought to stimulate their progress, "Let's retrace our steps, scrutinize the clues we've gathered thus far, and follow their trail. Perhaps there's a hidden pattern or a clue we've overlooked." Despite their combined efforts, their minds remained locked in a stalemate, unable to decipher the puzzle's cryptic nature.
Rae's dejected expression betrayed their collective frustration. "Seems like we've hit a dead end this time," she sighed, her disappointment evident. Uncertain about their escape from this lesson's grasp, Rae's despondent tone hung in the air, a stark acknowledgment of their predicament and the puzzle's looming unsolvability.
