Event 01

"So this is the clearing?"

Adam is the first to arrive and begins to size up the place, the blue sky and the sound of birds makes it a very pleasant place, the smell of the grass and the rustling of the trees accentuated the natural beauty of the place.

~It looks exactly like what I designed.

While he was lost in thought, Cain catches up with him and does the same thing as Adam, both are intoxicated by the feeling that this place conveys.

...

In the tower of magic, several young acolytes are sitting in front of a large screen, one seat above is a dark-skinned man holding a purple staff.

"Sir, as predicted Adam and Cain were the first to arrive"

The man knocks the staff to the floor and speaks with discontent.

"Yes, but that is irrelevant, that dog has already picked up two pairs, which means Adam is planning something"

All peace is broken when Marcos arrives on the scene.

"Finally someone has arrived, be quiet, and activate the sound transmission function built into the artifacts, let's hear what he has to say"

...

Looking tired and full of little scratches, Marcos approaches, he looks irritated and the veins in his neck look like they are going to explode at any moment.

"You got tired with just this little run, I expected more from the son of a duke"

The man frowned, but soon ran to the equipment and ignored them, Adam and Cain, they both laughed quietly and soon followed him.

"Ahn! how is this possible? Two pairs are missing."

Adam picked up a leather vest and a pair of boots, plus a pair of gloves, not far away he saw some swords, spears and few bows with quivers.

"Who let you take this ? Bastard, Above you are still the marquises, don't you dare take anything before them."

Marcos grabbed the vest in Adam's hands, but met with unexpected resistance.

"You dare break the hierarchy?"

"There is no hierarchy in the wild."

Adam let those words go and pushed him away, then he took a sword and placed it at his waist and a bow he placed on his back.

"This is where our paths part Cain, good luck and don't die"

He then ran into the bushes, as soon as he got out three young men appeared, they were precisely the three marquises, two young men wet with sweat and looking finished and one strong young man who didn't even have a drop of sweat on his body.

The young man in better shape spoke to one of his companions about what was bothering him.

"There is something strange, all the recruits have strayed from the original path and only we and a few who will arrive soon have come this way"

One of the sweaty young men caught his breath and spoke what was on his mind, his golden hair was greasy and he had already removed his shirt.

"Makes sense, there are 11 of us, and only 10 pairs of gear, they wouldn't want to piss us off for so little"

Marcos answered him as he put on his vest.

"You are wrong son of crimson thunder, 2 pairs are gone, so there were only 8, I took one, Cain took one and Adam took another, now there are only 5"

See more people arrive made Cain remember that this was a competition, so he decided to go his way, with a spear and a pair of boots, he set off in a random direction, Marcos seemed to want to say something, but soon gave up so he turned and motioned to the three present.

"Why don't we walk together? An even number, if we get lucky we could be the winners."

The young man with his arms crossed looked at his companion on the ground and the brown haired young man who is sitting with his legs stretched out begins to speak slowly.

"The 4 sons of the barons have joined together while the other count, claims to have his own map that indicates the exact position of the Roca bird, when we questioned him about the location he ran away"

Marcos shook his head, disappointed, but went on with his planning.

"First of all let's introduce ourselves my name is Marcos Vain, son of the great bloodthirsty duke"

The muscular young man who was until now with his arms crossed introduced himself.

"My name is Anak Mist, border marquis with the demons"

Then the young blond shirtless man.

"I am Youm Thunder, that's it"

The last one still seated spoke in a low voice.

"Miles Rain"

After that they chatted a bit and left, next it was the turn of the group of barons, but realizing that there was no one else in the place they barely stopped and ran into the forest soon after.

...

[Tower of Magic]

"Why are these young people such idiots, from the beginning Adam was pulling the strings, how did they not notice that trick with the puppets or the missing dog"

While the mage is yelling at his subordinates, a woman enters the room and interrupts him.

"Lord Thunder, the king requests that the broadcasts be sent to the castle, apparently a simple meeting between the nobles turned out to be a competition"

The man looks at the woman with a bit of contempt, but answers her anyway.

"It will be done, tell the king that I will soon send a qualified team to set up the transmission equipment"

The woman without uttering a sound or expression turns and walks away.

"These castle maidservants disgust me"

The man takes one last look at the woman's back and refocuses on the transmission.

...

Somewhere in the forest

A man wearing light clothing approaches a curtain and kneels down.

"Sir reporting the situation"

"Proceed"

With confirmation the man stands again and begins to read a sheet of paper he removes from his pocket.

"A group of humans have entered the forest, some appear to be just rich young men while the others appear to be military to some degree"

The person behind the curtain responds in an aggressive and hostile manner.

"I see, it seems to have started, send in the foot soldiers and pass the message, the forest is our territory"
