The Combat Readiness Exam

Sporting Event / Competition

The gang participates in the Combat Readiness Exam to judge their skills as adventurers

During the course of the Combat Readiness Exam the gang works alongside the Student Council to complete the test's objectives. While investigating Alice overhears information from the Student Council and Chihiro which implicates her and the council in a plot to have popular idol Genevive Dubois kidnapped and taken out of showbusiness. Alice relays the information to the rest of the gang and Basil; Solas explains that it is hearsay for now but that they can use it against the council to prove wrongdoing down the line.

The gang is able to solve the mystery and take down the Demon Lord Mara with the help of their allies and the Student Council. After the battle the gang is confronted by a mysterious hooded figure who warns them of the arrival of the "Night of the Beast". Writing the encounter off as a factor of their exhuastion the gang returns home with the warning still nagging in their minds.
