"…What do you mean?"
"You mean the rewards are going to be reduced? Or maybe they'll get worse?"
"But I only came to see the B-rank item. If they removed it, I want my money back."
Hearing the murmurs among the audience—and even among some students who were listening—Philip smiled and continued speaking.
"Before we talk about the rewards, let me explain the test itself."
"Students will be split into teams of two and teleported into the test area. Once they arrive, they'll each receive a flag. The task is to defend your own flag and capture other people's flags."
"Even though it's a team competition, there will still be a rivalry between the two members of each team. The student who collects the most flags in their group will be declared the winner."
"You have to hold onto the flags you collect until the end of the test. If someone else—whether an enemy or your teammate—takes them from you, you'll lose the points for them."
