章 1791: The new recruit (1)

~ the main base of the Voronin family ~

The first round of one-on-one fights didn't end as the organizers expected. Their goal was to sort out competitors and to pick the most promising ones while giving to the others minor roles within the organization. However, two deaths and seven heavy injuries later, they decided to stop the fights and to reconsider their approach.

All the remaining competitors rested, and the ones with minor injuries got medical care. The unfortunate ones that earned heavy injuries (or died) were eliminated since something like broken bones takes months to recover from (and death is incurable), and they can't drag this competition for so long.

To prevent this from becoming a complete disaster, the rules changed: there will be no direct fighting; the competitors will get to show their skills and abilities by performing some tasks or activities on which they will earn points.
