Chapter 25: Event day 1

On Tuesday, as if struck by lightning, classes began at 7 in the morning. The classes were exactly the same as yesterday. Professor Emilia sat at her desk, took out a book and a small cup of tea, and started reading. Basically, just as we had the team leader, which was me... now it was time to choose who would be the commander, strategist, general... whatever you want to call it, the one who will lead the students on the battlefield as it is called nowadays. Well, they are right...

The first one was the saint's bitch just like yesterday. Every now and then, she shot me looks full of rage and resentment... but she was very good at hiding it so that only I would notice. She did the same thing as yesterday; she asked anyone who wanted to be the strategist to raise their hand. Curiously or not, the same idiot, Elías, raised his hand, but after the saint's harsh questions, he lowered it in regret. It was the same as yesterday, but this time many more raised their hands. Who in the world wants to control humans like chess pieces? I guess all of them are eager to prove their worth compared to yesterday... hehe, actually, it's for another reason... the chosen one of the angel Miguel, since the chosen one hasn't appeared yet (he is dead), all the students of the academy are like crazy, wanting to show their true power...

A very significant change that I don't know what consequences it will bring to the world... but a crazy idea popped into my mind last night... could there be a re-vote? Or a butterfly effect? And if at some point another chosen one by the goddess appears... it could be, actually, it's quite plausible. As a reader of novels, there are many possibilities... Uff... quite complicated. I have some names in mind about who could become the new chosen one of the goddess, but at the same time, maybe I'm overthinking it... but still, it's better to stay alert... the 7 seraphs is impossible... so it could actually be anyone. All the seraphs are women... so according to my very intelligent mind, the other chosen one could be a woman... quite stupid, I literally said it because... frowning...

Well, as I was saying, several students tried to outshine the rest by raising their hands, but the saint (the ultimate bitch) silenced them all with her questions about the art of war. They lowered their hands dejected and with lost eyes. I have to admit that the saint is good with words... in the end, as everyone thought, well, I did, because the other students with lifeless expressions and deeply dejected stayed silent. Leslie didn't care about any of this, in fact, I could feel her breath on my neck... as if she couldn't wait for tomorrow... on the other hand, Evelyn continued sleeping... it's quite unusual. Supposedly in novels, women with red hair are very energetic, or very bad-tempered, or explosive... but she, I guess, is a failure of the typical...

The saint crowned herself as the class general with a kind smile, then she started giving some ideas about strategies and possible ways to repel a large-scale attack. I didn't pay much attention to this... my mind was gloomy, due to the system's mission...

[!!Mission!!]

[Survive the first event!]

[Description: In the first event, the Fourth Seraph will lose control of himself! The only one capable of stopping his awakening is the host]

[Requirements: The Fourth Seraph must have the seal at less than 10 percent!]

[Fourth Seraph: Sealed (0%)]

[Rewards: Information about the host's evolution!]

[Failure: Death!]

Looking again at the damn mission in front of my eyes, I couldn't help but let out a sigh. I would be deceiving myself if I didn't find it nerve-wracking and a bit scary. I made multiple plans in my mind, but... everything that goes wrong can go even worse. I'm not able to control unexpected situations... but I'll do my best, and possibly my last effort... Sighing in my dark heart... I looked at myself, wearing a white uniform with black stripes... the uniform is sporty. Around me was a large auditorium, with people in suits and white lab coats on the sides...

[Class 1: Hope]

In our section was a white crystal... around me were my classmates in the same outfit as me, especially the outfit clearly showing the curves of the women, which made it erotic... but now is not the time to think about that! "Damn, when death is days away, you can't enjoy life's pleasures!" My expression turned somber...

There are a total of 5 crystals, including ours...

White representing our class: [Class 1: Hope]

Black representing the second class: [Class 2: Elegance]

Blue representing the third class: [Class 3: Confidence]

Green representing the fourth class: [Class 4: Harmony]

Yellow representing the fifth class: [Class 5: Happiness]

Exactly today, Wednesday, which means the first event begins... all the classes were gathered in this large auditorium. The colors of the uniforms are to differentiate us from each other... I was among my "companions." The leader should obviously hide; after all, among us, we don't know who the leader is in the other classes, though some... well, the other four classes had two people at the head. Normally, one of the two is the strategist and the other the leader, but it could be true or a deception...

From the center of the auditorium came 5 people... among them was Professor Emilia in the same outfit as us... and exactly those 4 remaining people are the professors of the other classes...

Above them appeared a huge screen...

[Imperial Calendar, Year 2801, First Month, Day 3]

[Event 1: Capture the Flag]

[Event Description: The event will take place in a forest, where the 5 classes will be established at specific points, each designated as their territory with a radius of 5 kilometers. Each class's territory will be 50 kilometers apart. Each group will have a flag in their possession. Each group must choose a leader who will carry the flag. The leader cannot defend themselves or attack. Each leader must also designate a strategist who will command their teammates.]

[Important Points: The event will last a week (7 days). In the forest, each student will experience cold, hunger, thirst, and fatigue; basically, they will feel as if they are in real life. The forest will contain random animals that students can kill and eat. In the center of the forest, between the territories of the 5 classes, there will be a market where food, water, and other supplies can be found.]

[Survival: In addition to the five classes, demons will roam the forest.]

[Alliances: Classes will have the opportunity to form alliances with one or two other classes.]

[Rules: Killing is allowed, betraying your class is allowed, all existing rules are allowed.]

[Victory Conditions: For a class to win, they must possess two flags in addition to their own. Each time you kill a student, you earn 50 points. Each time you kill a demon, you earn 200 points. If you manage to steal a flag from a class, you earn 1000 points.]

[Defeat Conditions: A class is eliminated from the event if the leader falls along with the flag. A class with fewer than two members, besides the leader, will be eliminated.]

[Points: The total sum of points earned by all students in each class will determine which class takes first place.]

That's basically what the event is about...
