It was finally the day of the Trial of Frieden Academy.
The representative from Frieden Academy, accompanied by six youths, listed the names of the challengers who wanted to undergo the trial.
"This year, each candidate is allowed to bring a maximum of two companions.
"It used to be four, but after a dramatic increase in candidate deaths due to rogue companions, we have decided to change the rules. In addition, every companion must wear this bracelet. Tamper with the bracelet or break any other rule, and the academy's Seekers will personally punish you.
"So, don't think about breaking this rule. Or else…"
The professor and the six third-year students would stand guard by the dungeon entrance and ensure that the rules were followed.
"Usually, only one or two people will take the trial from this village," Professor Elias stated while looking at Alex, Charles, and Lavinia. "But it seems that three people are going this year."
