Group Rescue Squad Iota

Cian had carefully put together a number of group rescue exercises with the opening of Semper Fi. Their rescue facilities were top notch and he wanted to use the opportunity to teach his classes a very valuable lesson. The school year was in full swing and it was time that he provided them with a big challenge. That in of itself was a big channel for Cian. He had to craft puzzles for the students to make creative use of their quirks and put them in a situation where they had t work together to complete the objective. This most important part of this class was learning to work together with people that didn't interact too much. He knew that some of the students knew each other, but he designed the groups to have from different classes. This way he could do his best to ensure they weren't too familiar with each other. It was a fun idea and he had a lot of fun putting together the courses for the students. And naturally, he couldn't help but place little mental bets on how each student was going to handle each situation.

Often times there were new attractions that came to Japan to celebrate the past. While European countries had a renaissance fair of sorts, Japan had their own Feudal fair for those that loved that time period. It was a place were people dressed up in costume and roleplayed a person from the area to their liking. It was a time of fun and recognition of the past in Japan's currently area. And like the circus of the past, accidents, and chaos could happen at these types of gatherings. Something could go wrong or it could be attacked in some way where rescue was needed. And while many would keep to character thinking it was a part of the show, one everything had broken down it was clear that it was time to evacuate.

Unfortunately, not every person could get away that easily and needed help. In the panic, it was easy for a person to get left behind in the rush and that was where heroes needed to step in. In fact, there were nine targets that needed to be rescued and place in the marked off spot at the beginning of the course. It was going to take place in a feudal area replica castle with the starting point right next to the marked off spot. Once the students were gathered and through the gates, the class could begin.

A mannequin was stuck behind a set of three sliding doors. They were your classic wood and paper Japanese doors that served as dividers between rooms. With each door that was opened, a trap would be set off that the students how to watch out for. The first would open up a trap door where a person would be standing to slide open the door. It would drop them to the floor below, making it so that they would have to reach the room again to continue. The second door would drop planks of wood from above that the students had to watch out for. And the final door set off a time-based trap that caused the tatami mats the lined the floor of the room the mannequin was in to fall into the floor below. The student opening the door had to be quick in grabbing the mannequin and escaping before all the mats were gone.

In another section of the faux castle a mannequin laid on the edge of the slanted roof, This roof was slick and unstable, making it so that any student that climbed on to it would slip down the side the mannequin was on. They had to aim themselves properly to slide toward the mannequin and grab it for a rescue while they slid down and off the roof. It was important to make sure the mannequin was safe during the landing from off the roof to make sure that it wasn't damaged.

And, of course, a mannequin was buried under a pile of wood support beams that fell down. It was going to take the combined might of all three students to move it. Trying to cut or blast away the wood could result in the whole room collapsing if it wasn't done carefully, so the students had to make sure of that as well.

There was a part of the castle, which was reserved for a courtyard pond, with a mannequin at the bottom. It required someone to dive into the pond and maneuver through the netting draped within it to get to the mannequin and bring it back out. Naturally, the pond would soak anything that went inside of it and would wash away anything coating that person or object.

Another mannequin was trapped in a room that had a single window that could be seen from the front courtyard. The room that it was in was locked and couldn't be accessed directly. A small winding shaft used for ventilation was the only passage inside but was too small for any of the students to crawl through. They had to find something else that could navigate the shaft and unlock the door form the inside.

In the basement of the mock castle was an empty storage room. A single mannequin laid in the back of it alone and in the dark. And once the lights in the room were turned on, it would reveal why the storage room was emptied. A number of metal tools were stuck to the metal wall within. The room's walls were magnetized. Any presence of metal even below the surface of the skin, if there are more than a usual amount of it, would immediately be pulled to the walls and stuck there until the mannequin was rescued.

Another mannequin was trapped behind a room with a large metal door. It was sturdy and couldn't simply be broken down. Opening the door simply required a key, but that key wasn't available to the students. Either the lock had to be picked or a substitute for the key had to be made in some way to open it. The mannequin inside was close tot he door, so opening it too suddenly should the students figure out how could also damage the mannequin.

In the fake castle's kitchen, a mannequin was in the deep freezer. It was overloaded and making the freezer colder than it should have been. Staying inside of it for too long would cause frostbite and instantly freeze any moisture present. The mannequin had to be found inside of the walk-in freezer very quickly and even it wouldn't last for too long. In five rounds, the mannequin would be too frozen to move safely and could break if force was applied.

The final mannequin was locked behind a sturdy glass door. It could be seen sitting in a chair on the far side of the room. This glass door was pretty much a blast shield. it could take any form of blunt force, cut, or explosion thrown at it. However, it did have one small weak point. A small slot at the center of the blast shield just big enough for a playing card was the only weak point If something small enough and with enough explosive force could be placed inside of that slot, surely the shield would come down.
