RULES:
Capturing a Terminal: To control a terminal, any team member needs to step into the designated 10 meter radius surrounding it and stay there for a full 10 minutes. It's crucial not to leave this zone during that entire time.
Re-Capturing a Taken Terminal: If a terminal has already been captured, reclaiming it requires a team member to stand within the 10 meter radius for twice the duration, meaning 20 minutes.
Interrupted Capture: If any member of the enemy team is also within the same radius, the capturing process will pause. The terminal will only be secured once only one team remains within that zone.
Leader Restraint: This is a strategy centric battle. Leaders of each division must remain in their camp grounds at all times, controlling their divisions solely from the control room.

Atticus only needed a glance to read and understand everything written on the display, but he had to wait a few seconds for the others to finish reading it.
Seeing as they were all done, Atticus swiftly clicked on the next option, which was the mission, and the display changed accordingly:
***
MISSION OBJECTIVES:
Capture and maintain ownership of all terminals for a duration of 1 hour.
WINNING CONDITIONS:
Fulfill the mission objectives.
Defeat all opposing division members and capture their camp.
Note: Achieving either of these conditions automatically declares you the winner.
REWARD & PUNISHMENT:
Winner's Reward: 150,000 Division Points and the acquisition of any building at or below 50,000 division points.
Loser's Punishment: The loser bears all costs incurred by the winner. If the losing division lacks the required division points, they accrue a debt to be settled at a later date.

The sound of Nate whistling loudly broke the quiet atmosphere. "That's a lot of points," he said.
The rest of the youths present all nodded in agreement. It truly was a huge amount of points.
"Looks like we won't be broke anymore," Aurora said jokingly with a smile while looking at Atticus, the rest of the youths chuckling at her words.
Seeing how relaxed everyone was acting, Atticus couldn't help but smile. They were far too confident!
None of them seemed to even consider a scenario that they might lose.
He would have normally brushed it off, thinking it was because of his over whelming strength that they had such confidence, but this case was completely different.
Atticus had been feeling like something he didn't like would happen ever since he was brought here, and now he knew the reason for the feeling.
It was one of the rules for the battle: the leader of a division can, under no circumstances, leave the camp grounds.
This... this was a huge handicap.
He couldn't help but imagine, if he hadn't gone all out in strengthening his division members, wouldn't he have been completely and utterly fucked up?
'So how should I play this?' Atticus pondered.
If he had to be honest, tens of different strategies had already formed in his head immediately he read the mission description.
But there was an uncertainty, the one thing Atticus felt he couldn't account for; the identity of the opposing division.
He knew all too well how mysterious and resourceful the tier one families were.
Despite the powerful gear each of his division members was putting on, he couldn't be completely 100 percent certain that that would be enough.
'I don't have time to worry about this. I'll just have to make a backup plan in case of anything. Luckily just like me, their leader also can't leave their camp,' Atticus thought.
He decided not to overthink everything and simply face what was currently on the ground.
Although not completely sure, Atticus was certain that no other division would have been able to organize and equip their normal division members better than he had.
And besides, even though he couldn't personally leave the camp, he still had very strong people in his division.
Seeing as Atticus was about to speak, every one of them quieted down.
When he had been reading the rules, Atticus remembered seeing 'Map of the forest' amongst it.
Gazing down at the table, he saw a map looking icon on one corner of the screen.
He swiftly clicked on it, and the whole screen lit up, and a large map was suddenly displayed on it.
The map was very simple. It only had 10 points highlighted on it: their base, the opponent's base at the opposite end of the forest, and the 8 terminals situated at different locations around the forest.
'Nice, this makes things easier,'
Atticus turned his gaze away from the screen towards the Ravenstein youths who were already looking at him.
"The strategy would be simple. We would be going after all the terminals simultaneously. We currently have 11 units and since there are 8 terminals, we will split that extra 3 units into equal groups who will merge with the other 8 units."
Seeing that they were all following, Atticus continued, "Now, the 200 and 20 youths all under Aria and Eric respectively would also be split equally and merged with the other 8 units."
"The leaders of each unit would be as follows: Lucas, Eric, and Aria would each have one unit under them," Atticus gazed at the trio and seeing them nod, he continued,
"Now Kai," Atticus said, turning his gaze towards Chubby who flinched seeing Atticus's eyes focused on him, his head bowed as he responded in a barely audible tone, "Y-yes, young master," he said.
Atticus completely ignored his theatrics; now wasn't the time.
"You and Dorian will lead another unit," Atticus stated. Kai and another youth with spiky gel styled with hair, Dorian, swifty nodded their heads.
He called out the rest of the Ravenstein youths apart from Aurora and Nate and made sure he put them each in charge of each of the 8 units.
As soon as he finished talking, before Aurora and Nate could ask why they were left out, Atticus turned his gaze towards them and spoke, "Both of you guys would remain as back up," Atticus explained.
