Since the revisions within Militia of Serenity. Amount of people joined within it's rank increased greatly too. As the traditions dictates. 

It was finally time for; 

[High Sentinel Trials]   

Unlike the regulations followed by other militias, this one involves extra steps to ensure that growth within the ranks is based on valid and well-understood decisions. It requires both strength and mental acuity.


This trial work through a point system to determine hunter's efficiency and also fairness in combat.  Each advocated challenge announced between the soldiers. Where points often that can be counted by the soldier himself through taken notes. 

Allowing them to earn points from one to four points. 

Simple yet effective process. The way in which these points often are earned are by few specific challenges.

Quote:[Aggresive Challenge] 
[Two Point to Winner]
[One Point to Loser]
These challenges often involve a temporary rivalry between two hunters. With the added element of risk, fighters gain access to two points while experiencing the thrill of battle.
[AGGRO BATTLE]

For additional challenges. 

[Team Challenge] 
[Two Point for each side]
During this challenge, two groups will engage in a battle against each other. A team fight will test their synergy or simply help to improve it.
[AGGRO BATTLE]

[Hunt Challenge] 
[Four Point Regardless.] 
During this challenge, hunters can participate in groups or solo. They will go out on patrol, a task that is riskier compared to other challenges but offers more points, taking into account the risk undertaken by the hunters themselves. 

Each hunter shall be responsible for taking notes of each challenge, considering it can be hard to keep it all tracked in the duration of the trial. The first trial shall occur for around three days at max, before moving to it's next stage.

Unlike the first trial, as the name suggests, this trial is meant to determine a soldier's wisdom and creativity. Each sentinel will take this test together, and if desired, even Guardians can join to seek a rank-up.

The test itself will mostly consist of a predetermined set of questions that hunters must answer using their thinking and creativity. This trial will be held around day or two after the Trial of Strength, unless complications arise in the process.


The last trial of this entire process, depending on the preference of the hunter, can be done right after the Trial of Wisdom or the following day. During this trial, hunters are expected to express their journey thus far, their desires, and even their weaknesses to the king.


To be vulnerable and to be heard.

This allows hunters to not only find their inner strength through that very expression but also get a chance to accept themselves. Some might refer to this not as a trial but as counseling, yet it carries such importance. 



Upon completing every trial sentinels either will receive their second promotion within Militia or simply stay within their current ranking. Entire process if things move properly. Can roughly last around week at most. Where it will be followed by the public promotion ceremony. 

While this information serve as indication of the upcoming trials. Where the offical start of entire thing will be given on the near upcoming days. 

[Date will be announced within upcoming days!]

-Within the combat trials, you are expected to have diversity upon your decisions while also taking notes. Do not stay within the boundaries of your comfort zone. Be willing to take risks if anything while also following the provided guidelines before hand. Teamwork is encouraged. 

-Upon reaching the second trial, you are expected to be your own creative direction while answering the provided questions. Do not try to copy something out of each other. That will be noted and be used within the final decision. 

[TRIAL OF STRENGTH, OFFICALY BEGINS AT 22th SATURDAY and last until 24th MONDAY NIGHT.] 

[OOC: Such day chosen for reason allowing people to set their schedules properly. Both of Serenity and outside of Serenity too.]

[For further questions simply approach Rued ICLY or DM boombastic_13, thank you!]

The first day of the trial was more fruitful than anyone could have hoped or expected. Many challenges were present, followed by an unexpected outcome as a magical beast sought a challenge and suddenly unleashed itself by fully going past the restrictions that is been within the trial. Such attempt done upon the one of the promising warriors and also a marksman of Serenity.  "Jango D. Bogard" where he handled the situation with a precision. Earning praise of the king right after.  

Yet, it also seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding too considering magical beasts seems to be lacking the general understanding upon such subjects or is it really the case..?  That's something time will tell. Things been handled peacefully right after.

[OOC: In the upcoming days of the trial, more shares like these are expected. Many faces with diverse talents are set to be showcased and expressed.  This is most likely going to clutter the post a little bit but.. It is generally enjoyable to write this. ]
