About

The "Away Selection Test" is an examination designed to select members for a long-term expedition to the Neighborhood. To provide opportunities not only to A-Rank but also to capable B-Rank agents, the usual teams have been disbanded, and candidates must tackle various challenges in shuffled temporary squads. 1. Sealed Environment Test Content: A test where temporary squads are isolated in a sealed environment (workrooms) to live together for several days. Tasks: Combat simulation exercises, shared and individual special assignments (written tests), and various missions regarding trion consumption and management. Purpose: To evaluate adaptability in confined spaces, leadership, teamwork, and the overall intelligence and mental fortitude of the agents. 2. Long-Term Combat Test Content: A simulated combat test with special rules conducted between the temporary squads formed during the sealed environment test. Rules: Divided into the Expedition Force (regular members) and temporary squads, they compete for points over a long period, such as 36 hours. Spontaneous trion recovery or deactivation is prohibited; if an agent bails out (becomes incapacitated/withdraws), they must fully recover before re-deploying. This tests endurance and strategy. Purpose: To evaluate squad management capabilities in an environment close to actual combat, as well as individual combat prowess. Background and Objectives Normally, only A-Rank squads can participate in expeditions. However, since the next expedition will be larger and longer than previous ones, more preparation time was needed, and there was no time to wait for the usual "A-Rank Promotion Exams." Therefore, this test was established to measure whether agents have B-Rank upper-tier skills and the aptitude for an expedition, even if they are not currently A-Rank. Characteristic Systems Temporary Captains: 11 captains selected from A-Rank and high-level B-Rank agents chose their members in a draft-style meeting to form temporary squads (e.g., Utagawa Squad 1 to Wakamura Squad 11). Evaluation: Management (Border high command and A-Rank agents) strictly monitors and evaluates the actions of each squad. Ultimately, members for the expedition will be selected on an individual or squad basis.
