As soon as the students settled into their VR pods and donned their suits, they were suddenly transported into a digital world.
And they found themselves sitting on a circular platform with their academy name inscribed on it.
In the center of the platform stood a statue of a wise old wizard, holding a glowing crystal in his hand.
"Huhuhuhu," the statue cackled. "So, the time has finally come, has it not?"
The students listened intently, unsure of what was to come.
[Greetings, young minds.] the statue spoke in a booming voice.
[I am the Guardian of Knowledge and I shall be your host for this challenge.
Before we begin, do you see the red buzzer in front of you?] the Statue asked.
[If you know the answer, press the buzzer before answering. The first team to answer can proceed to the next round, while the other teams will be delayed until they answer.]
