"From this moment forward, you may be called upon for these drills at any time," announced the mustached man in military uniform, his voice carrying the weight of authority. "It would serve you well to remain prepared at all times."
He paused, letting his words sink in before continuing. "For this particular test, you will be paired into teams of two and placed into a simulated combat environment. There, you will face both vampires and gyroids in battle. Your performance will be carefully evaluated and scored accordingly." His steely gaze swept across the assembled students. "Do your utmost to perform at your highest capability, but remember—always consider your teammate in every action you take. A reliable partner is worth more than any secret trump card you might possess."
As he finished speaking, a notification flickered to life on everyone's meta watch.
