"If Recruit A has one thousand points and you kill him, those one thousand points are now yours."
When the murmurs finally began to settle, Bale spoke again, his tone as cold as ever.
"Firstly," he said, "as long as you do not provoke them, beasts in a pack will not attack you. But let me give you some advice…"
He leaned forward slightly, his eyes narrowing.
"Be smart and act as though your life is truly on the line, because in here, it is. The pain of injury and death will feel as real as what you'd feel in the physical world. The AI monitors everything, every movement, every kill, and when a beast falls by your hand, the points will be automatically transferred to your bracelet."
He straightened again, his gaze sweeping across the crowd.
"As for your second question," he continued, his tone deepening, "I made the rule allowing you to hunt other recruits for a reason. That reason is trust, or rather, the lack of it."
