A shock rolled through the basin. Hundreds of awakened jerked forward with wide eyes, mouths parting, breaths catching all at once. A few outright shouted in disbelief.
"Two tracks?!"
"Twice the rewards?!"
"That's insane!"
Magnus didn't bother calming them. He simply waited until the cacophony tripped over itself and died down, the silence growing sharper as every awakened stared at him with a burning desire for further explanation.
He delivered just that. "The 'newbie' category will have a single difference, in that instead of fifty, their teams will hold a maximum of twenty people. And the term newbie, in this case, will cover the following. Those who awakened less than one year ago, those aged sixteen or below. And those who received their first experience point less than six months ago."
The explosion of reactions was immediate, full of theorizing and confusion.
"Three different circumstances qualify?!"
"That's so specific…!"
