‘Who would have thought that the most talented kid from this batch would lose due to trickery.’ Professor Humfree thought as he was scratching his beard. ‘It’s truly a shame, but this should serve as a lesson for him. No matter how strong you might be, you can always lose your life if you put your trust in the wrong person.’
Tests like this one were designed with treachery in mind. Just like in the real world, each trial taker could merely control their own actions. As such, they would either have to make sure to put their trust in the right person, convince the others to work together with them or try to do everything on their own. After all, life in the AFA would be brutal. If you couldn’t make it past this stage, then only a life of hardships would await you.
