Creed barely needed more than a second to process the trial's objective before his mind went into overdrive.
[Objective: Cross the forest and board a ferry in 72 hours.]
At first glance, it seemed straightforward—get from point A to point B before the time limit.
But Creed was no idiot. If the Ambassadors Academy was known for anything, it was for being brutally difficult and making sure only the absolute best made it through.
That meant the trial was definitely not as simple as just walking through a few trees and hopping onto a boat.
There would definitely be insane obstacles in the forest. Insane and deadly ones. But that was probably still not everything.
No, crossing the forest was probably only half the battle.
The real challenge?
Boarding the ferry.
The wording of the objective made it obvious—if they were being told to "board" the ferry instead of just "reach" it, that meant actually getting on it wouldn't be easy.
