Chapter 153: Groups
They got on the ship one after the other, and despite the massive size, there were no beds, only chairs spread out.
Everyone was confused when they got in and didn’t see any beds or rooms that they could stay in. The inside of the ship was empty, and so was the deck.
Quin looked at their confusion and smiled. He walked in front of all of them. "Now that all of you are inside, she’s ready to go, I’ll explain something to you.
"This flying ship was made completely empty for this specific occasion. Inside this ship, there is no ounce of food, no comfortable place to rest, and the temperature gets increasingly cold the higher you get." He watched through to see their reaction, and it was exactly the type of reaction he wanted—confusion, fear, panic.
"Now, many of you are wondering why we would do something like that, right? Well, that’s simple. The first stage of the competition is to find a house in two days, but that’s far too simple.
So this ship is built to make it harder. You’ll suffer a full day’s hunger and no sleep, temperatures that could drive a person crazy.
And you’ll have to bear that for a full day before we arrive. So when you all drop, half of you would have been battered already, and getting the houses from the golems becomes harder.
You already know the gist of it. Inside the cabin are resources and food that you all will desperately need."
His words stunned all of them. The academy was intentionally trying to make it harder for them. They began complaining about how it was unfair, but Quin simply smiled through all their shouting until they were done. Then he spoke.
