Round 3, Day 1 [all characters and round announcement]
The storm doesn't let up through the rest day, but by the next day the power is back, the staff are looking moderately less nervous, and the weather is light enough that the usual announcement rings over the speakers in the morning.
"The announcements will start at noon. Will all students please report to the lobby for that time."
Umbrellas are now scattered around the campus at useful points, including the dormitory common rooms and the entrance to the school buildings. Helpful, because the rain is as heavy as ever today. When you arrive in the lobby, the screens are all lit and the receptionists are back at their desk and smiling at old students and new arrivals both.
At twelve o'clock exactly, a woman appears on every screen, smiling so cheerfully that several of the audience probably have an allergic reaction.
"Good afternoon to our new students here at Utopia Academy! Thank you for choosing to enroll with us for this, our first semester of the new year. Our battle system is the best in the world, set up for you, our students! I hope that you all had a fun journey here, and that you've all made some new friends! You're going to need them soon, so keep them close, okay?
"Good afternoon to our current students, as well! You all worked hard last week, and we're really very proud of you.
"Now, normally I would explain the rules, but you've all had a day to read the manual, and I'm sure you've met some of our helpful students since you arrived. Let's skip that! Besides, this week is special. That's because... Well! It would be difficult to fight in this weather, right? We're going to give you a break from battles. Isn't that nice? You can still fight each other if you want, but this week it's ~totally optional~.
"This week is a scavenger hunt! We're gonna give you a clue in a moment. The clue will lead you to a treasure, which you should bring back to our sages," the receptionists wave from their desk, looking a little sheepish, "And they'll give you the next clue! If you collect six treasures, you'll win the round and get a great prize, so work hard!
"Ah, one more thing... Players! You can have as many Weapons as you want this week. Winning battles or collecting Weapons won't count as a victory again until the next round, so have fun!"
She disappears from the screens, but her voice doesn't. "The first clue is... I must be broken before I can be used. What am I?"
The Player list scrolls onto half of the screens; the other half show the clue in flowing red text.

Standing still for a few minutes, Enki then rolled his eyes and gave a firm push to Shōryū's midsection, more to propel himself half a step back than to push Shōryū away.
"Don't thank me, you idiot. You better get hurt as little as possible," Enki snapped, giving Shōryū a good poke in the stomach before stepping a whole step back (which was more like half a step away if comaped to Shōryū).
He'd have liked to say 'don't get hurt at all', but he couldn't demand that, now could he? Any hits against his sword would hurt him, after all, and Enki knew Shōryū would do his best to have any hits hit the sword, and not his body, since those Enki would feel.
No, a book wouldn't really make anything better, but hopefully it could provide some distraction.
