Boom!

The military exercise at Miraj City turned out to be real. The exploding magic crystals resounded in the mock battlefield as the soldiers prepared to participate in a mock battle. With edgeless swords marked with yellow or green paint, the two divided armies were to fight each other. The aim was to protect the white cloth on their bodies. In the end, depending on where the pain marks are on the body, points would be given—head, neck, and chest were considered death. 

Yes, they had armor. But the goal was to make them into such warriors that even with armor, they'd be swift enough to dodge strikes from the enemy. It was a war game but on a massive scale. 

However, the presence of so many troops also meant that the people going through Miraj city had to go through many checkpoints. The only route into the west was now heavily guarded, with the distant sounds of explosives resounding at all times.
