"Now. You will be sent into a forest to gather points. There are two distinct ways to gain these points. The first way is by killing the residents of the forest. Of course, the stronger the being you kill, the higher the points you will earn, this is basic common sense. The second way is by defeating other candidates. I said defeating, not killing," the old man emphasized, stressing the second method as though former candidates in previous years had ignored this rule and committed murder instead.
"There have been candidates in the past who killed others for the sake of points because they misunderstood, or perhaps pretended to misunderstand. Their punishment for such psychological delusions was death by my own hands. I will kill you all the same if any of you dare repeat such actions after my warning. Whether you are a Prince or a Princess of the Empire, I do not care," the old man's tone grew frigid, each word dripping with deadly venom.
