The journey toward the Treasure Room was mostly uneventful. After they left the Academy and Garao with their small caravan, they only encountered monsters once on the first day.
Three pig monsters with slightly varying mutations attacked the students. They were handled by the nobles with varying degrees of efficiency.
Victoria's group, consisting of her and three of her attendants, performed the best. Then came Benjamin and his two followers. Last came a small group of nobles who were not part of Victoria's clique, who barely managed to kill the third pig, and only did so after sustaining an injury.
The commoners didn't even get a chance to prove themselves. At first, they weren't interested, but that changed when Shim Lester half-heartedly did his duties and informed them that the field trip was both a learning experience and a test.
Their performance was graded.
