"Everyone listen up, each genius participating in the trial must not carry any telepathic items, and must not use telepathic items to communicate with each other. Any violation will be considered cheating! Also, remember, once you enter, you must stay put for an hour. After that hour, you can start moving. Understood?"
Before departure, the representatives from the holy places hosting this trial emphasized this point once again.
As for staying put for an hour, there's definitely a deeper meaning behind it. It's to avoid collisions among the geniuses being placed.
Everyone must stay in place until after they've all been positioned, then commence action together.
Everyone felt a silent apprehension, understanding that the rules were not to be breached. Many geniuses who initially harbored luck left their telepathic items behind.
