Professor Nero's voice cut through the din of idle chatter, instantly commanding the attention of every student in the room. His presence alone was enough to silence even the most talkative among us.
"Listen up," Nero began, his tone as sharp as a blade. "Your practical evaluation for this field trip will involve a rather straightforward task—straightforward, of course, only in concept, not execution."
He let the tension build for a moment before continuing, pacing in front of the gathered students. "Each pair will be assigned a specific beast to hunt and kill. These beasts have been equipped with a specialized mana detection device. The device will analyze the unique mana signatures of the attackers to confirm the kill. This means no clever cheating, no switching targets, and certainly no sabotaging your peers. Your success is yours and yours alone."
