I will say it once: there's no reason to betray the other team.

[Sholmes seems pretty certain about that]

I will not say it's impossible they may betray us. It's likelier them choosing to betray will happen in the last part of the game, though -- when we're closer to the end. Doing it at the start would cause retaliation, and we both would enter a stalemate where both teams suffer and don't advance at all.

But there's nothing to gain from paranoia, so I suggest we cooperate until the end. Shall we?

[undertakings]

I don't disagree. [And while physical pain isn't pleasant, he's pretty used to it at this point, so he doesn't really care about getting a couple of shocks or whatnot as long as it doesn't leave him unable to stand or something.]

How many bandages did you have?

[herlocksholmes]

Only one roll of gauze. It's quite the expensive item!

[So stockpiling the miraculous gauze wasn't an option, alas]

[undertakings]

We can keep it in reserve then. I don't think the purpose of this exercise is to injure us to the point of being unable to complete the rest of the Saturday lessons.

[herlocksholmes]

Indeed! Although we will have to see what kind of injury will cause us pain, if Lady Luck doesn't smile upon us. Perhaps it will be electrical shocks.

[Maybe! There probably won't be broken bones and the such...this time!]

[undertakings]

It would explain why they wouldn't want the panels to be damaged. [because that actually could kill them whoops]

This set up also requires the traps to be activated more than once, so that's probably the easiest way.

[fabulation]

I suppose I don't quite have the heart to betray them anyway.

[ Xingqiu, at the end of the day, is still too nice for that...though he is a bit on edge because it is not just his wellbeing at risk here.

Regardless, he thinks he knows Chongyun well enough that he'd agree the very same. It'd be different it was lives at risk instead of just pain. ]

[unsinksyourship]

Aren't these rules too complicated? Nobody said anything about arithmetic for any of these Saturday lessons...

[Look, he'd almost prefer getting chased around by doppelgangers to trying to make heads nor tails of this nonsense?? It's starting to make his head hurt just trying to remember it all. Please note the possibly literal steam starting to rise considering dreamscape life(?).]

But I still say it's better to advance than not! And if you're going to advance then take a proper gamble! Well, I'd really rather not get electricity or whatever stupid punishment is in store... But it seems kind of rigged? No?

[That's all he's really getting from this pile of rules in this rulebook from hell.]

[teidaisei]

Aren't you lucky, Tamamori-kun. You can put this towards your next entrance exam. I wonder if it will stick this time?

[ This is his excuse for not doing math initially and not that I, limon hate math and was totally around. ]

[unsinksyourship]

After this, piddly little Imperial entrance exams are going to be a piece of cake!! ...... is what I'd like to say, but I think some of these are still better.

[He's reeeaally bad at stuff that doesn't engage him. Or force him to be engaged. Look, he can't help it, he learns by doing and if he hasn't any doing motivation then that's that.

Tamamori is totally not pouting about this.]
