A teacher stood frozen, clipboard shaking 📋.
"W–We… never wrote a rule about blowing up the cave…"
Another slammed the desk.
"NEW RULE!"
"❌ No destroying stage lairs!"
The Academy erupted 💥
Ben threw his head back laughing 😂
"BROTHER AREN! YOU'RE A GENIUS!"
King shook his head slowly.
"You're insane," he said honestly."…but we're going to win."
Aren knelt.
Patted the small blue horse 🐎✨
"Good boy."
The horse neighed happily.
🌙 End of Day One — Team Father
They camped near the shattered cave.
Aren fed the horse dried fruit 🍎Ben cleaned his bruisesKing stared at Aren like he was trying to solve a puzzle
Above them—
A broken sky of ice.
Day One ended.
Team Father wasn't strong.
They were dangerous.
⚔️ Meanwhile — Team Rose
Elsewhere—
Ice cracked under heavy steps.
Prince Rose pushed forward.
Breathing hard.
Sword dragging.
"We… forced it out…"
He raised his head.
Eyes burning.
"For honor—"
"For the Academy—"
"WE DO NOT FAIL!"
They attacked together—
• Lyris' arrow pierced the eye 🏹• Rose's blade cut the throat ⚔️• Rias's spear team struck the ribs 🔱
The Ice Lion fell.
Team Rose collapsed around it.
Bleeding.Exhausted.Alive.
👀 The Academy Watches
Teachers whispered:
"Incredible teamwork…""They survived two lions…"
Students whispered back:
"They're monsters…""They're the favorites…"
Lyris wiped blood from her lip.
Rose lifted his sword weakly.
Rias stood silent.
"Stage One… cleared."
The crowd roared 🌊🔥
But beneath the noise—
Everyone remembered:
Team Father—
Cleared without injury.
Without struggle.
Without effort.
Two paths.
One end.
🌅 Stage Two Begins
Dawn broke quietly ☀️
The blue horse trotted ahead 🐎✨
Aren followed.
Feeding it.
Ben stretched.
King sharpened his blade.
They reached a forest 🌲
The horse stopped.
Pointed.
Aren opened his book.
"Stage Two."
Pause.
"Giant bees."
Ben frowned.
"…Like normal bees?"
Aren shook his head.
"These sting once."
Pause.
"Then you meet the gods."
Ben turned pale 😨King smirked.
"Lovely."
The horse hid behind Aren.
⏳ Waiting Is Strategy
"We wait two days," Aren said.
King blinked.
"…Wait?"
Aren pointed at the forest.
"After major disturbance, bees stay inside."
"Forty-eight hours."
Ben nodded slowly.
"…That's smart."
King grinned.
"Of course it is."
So they waited.
Aren:
📖 Read✍️ Wrote notes🍎 Fed the horse🔥 Stopped King from burning things
Ben trained.
King complained.
The horse slept in Aren's lap.
The Academy watched.
"They're not moving?""He's studying…""…I hate this."
🐝 Team Rose — Brutal Advance
Team Rose didn't wait.
They entered.
THRRRRRRRR 🐝💥
The sky filled with wings.
Bees the size of wolves.
Stingers like spears.
Chaos.
Rose cut through three ⚔️Lyris pushed wind barriers 🌪️Rias cast shield after shield 💠
Students screamed:
"THE PRINCESS IS BLEEDING!""THE ELF IS HIT!"
They fought—
Hard.
Desperate.
Finally—
The Queen fell.
Silence.
Team Rose stood.
Barely.
Poisoned.Wounded.Shaking.
Message appeared:

Teachers whispered:
"They can't continue…"
Then—
TEAM ROSE CONTINUES
The Academy erupted 😱
🌲 Team Father — The Correct Way
Ben stared at the screen.
"They're still going…?"
King scoffed.
"Their problem."
"What now?" he asked.
Aren closed his book.
"We do it correctly."
Pause.
"Bees cannot detect mud-covered shapes."
Ben blinked.
"…We become dirt?"
"Yes."
They covered themselves.
Mud. Water. Paste.
Even the horse 🥔🐎
Ben almost laughed.
🏹 Silent Domination
They entered.
Buzzing filled the air.
But—
The bees ignored them.
Ben whispered:
"They don't see us…"
King smiled slowly.
"…This is terrifying."
They moved.
Ben struck from behind 💥King cut wings clean ⚔️Aren fired arrows calmly 🎯
Points climbed.
The Academy went silent.
"No injuries?""This is impossible…""This is knowledge…"
The Queen appeared.
Aren didn't retreat.
He loaded an explosive arrow.
FWISH — BOOM 💥
The Queen dropped instantly.
The forest went quiet.
🏁 Stage Two — Perfect Clear
Announcement echoed:
