itself was terrible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, it was fairly reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But severe water rationing often led to another problem entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poor hygiene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And poor hygiene during drought conditions...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>could turn catastrophic frighteningly fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially if disease entered the territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Mirabelle kept those thoughts to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Advisor Seraphel allowed the shifting ink across the map to finally settle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he folded his hands calmly behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The round is complete.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sharp fox eyes slowly swept across the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now let us observe what your decisions produce.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Advisor Seraphel turned his attention toward the map once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green ink changed across the parchment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freya immediately straightened in anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, her territory appeared more stable than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The farmland remained alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water channels spread across the fields while several crop markers brightened with renewed color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Freya’s redirected irrigation successfully preserved much of her agricultural production,\" Advisor Seraphel explained calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several livestock markers also remained stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her livestock population likewise continues surviving through the drought.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freya visibly relaxed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the map continued changing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forests darkened further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More and more wildlife markers disappeared entirely from the woodland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The heavy diversion of water away from the surrounding environment,\" the advisor continued, \"has unfortunately accelerated the drying of the forests.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green forests faded into brittle gray-brown patches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As a result, wildlife populations have now almost completely abandoned the territory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freya’s expression tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And because significantly less water now continues southward through the river...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The southern border began glowing red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The conflict with the southern territory has intensified.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More enemy markers appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Small skirmish symbols spread along the borderlands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The worsening desperation in the south has escalated previous tensions into open conflict.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freya immediately began looking uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then additional warning symbols slowly appeared near the settlements and several military markers dimmed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The prolonged drought conditions have also weakened the population.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And due to strict water rationing, exhaustion and sickness have begun spreading among both civilians and soldiers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the map shifted again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark markings spread through several villages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Advisor Seraphel spoke calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With too little water available for cleaning wounds, washing cloth, and drinking...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured toward the spreading dark symbols.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...illness begins spreading more rapidly wherever many people gather closely together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freya’s face slowly paled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the green map finally settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freya stared silently at the map for several long seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The falcon female’s fingers slowly tightened around her pen while her gaze remained fixed on the spreading sickness markers across her territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, she had looked calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now something much heavier sat in her expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not humiliation...Realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I didn’t even think about that,\" she admitted quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time since the exercise had begun, her voice lacked certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I focused entirely on food production and military stability...\" Her brows pulled together faintly. \"But I completely overlooked how one decision affects everything else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger Beastman beside her finally spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until now, he had mostly remained silent throughout the trial, observing far more than participating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is normal,\" he said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His golden eyes rested on the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Academy of Zazar offers entire strategy courses centered around exactly these kinds of cascading territorial consequences.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freya looked toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are actual classes for this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger male nodded once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Political management. Crisis simulations. Resource logistics. Military economics.\" A faint smirk appeared on his lips. \"Some noble heirs spend years studying territorial administration before ever inheriting land.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mirabelle’s ears twitched slightly at that information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If a female chooses an appropriate mate from Zazar,\" the tiger continued calmly, \"she may gain access to those courses as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freya visibly brightened slightly despite the disastrous state of her simulated territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Mirabelle quietly stored that information away for later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An academy dedicated to governance, economics, logistics, and strategy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That sounded absurdly useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially if she truly intended to survive in this world long-term.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Lucien noticed the thoughtful look appearing in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then purple spread rapidly across the parchment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nessa immediately smiled smugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Garruk crossed his massive arms confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This,\" the buffalo Beastman rumbled proudly, \"is what true strength looks like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The map shifted violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Nessa’s military forces appeared dominant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Large groups of soldiers pushed aggressively southward while supply markers were seized and transported north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the southern border exploded with red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone at the table visibly reacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An enormous number of enemy markers suddenly flooded across the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nessa’s confident smile froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Advisor Seraphel remained perfectly calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One critical error was made during Lady Nessa’s calculations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More red markers overwhelmed her forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She assumed her territory possessed military superiority.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several black symbols suddenly appeared where her soldiers had once stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The southern territory, however, possessed significantly larger military reserves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nessa sat up straighter::\"No—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The prolonged conflict rapidly depleted both manpower and supplies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now new red markers bypassed the battlefield entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Straight toward the settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because most available males had been conscripted into the military...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several village protection symbols vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...very few defenders remained behind to protect the civilian population.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village markers began darkening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raid symbols appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Civilian casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garruk’s expression became more serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the drought worsened further across the territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The continued water shortage and food scarcity have significantly weakened both civilians and soldiers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More sickness symbols spread through the settlements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As exhaustion, hunger worsen, disease spreads increasingly rapidly among the population.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the map darkened further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forests turned gray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Nessa’s reservoir had completely blocked the river flow...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>almost no remaining water reached the southern woodland at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The forests have now dried beyond recovery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>orange-red symbols suddenly erupted across the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mirabelle inhaled sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The dead forests ignite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames spread frighteningly fast across the dry landscape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toward the grasslands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toward the farmland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toward the remaining food stores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nessa stared at the map in disbelief as entire sections of her territory blackened into ruin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within moments...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>almost everything was
