Chapter Text

Brief explanation the academy's tradition: The future broken down to the boot soldiers must explain on their first night to the new recruits that they are introduced to the "Tradition of Hunting" - a simulated war game pitting them against experienced "Predators'' (upperclassmen) in a vast wilderness arena. Usually the wisest, strongest, and deemed most masculine are the leader or mostly known as Alpha of the pack they get to choose to form. They protect the weakest, usually codenamed prey.

Brick was already elected as one of Predators; his alphas were none other than Dj and Brody who usually worked together to have middle ground around these parts and peacemakers known throughout these listening halls.

Thank God, Scott was in his pack and wasn't given to Hunter side like Noah was to play fair said Hatchet.

Predators main goal is to protect the pack at all costs if needed but mostly make sure the prey doesn’t all get “hunted down", "kidnapped”, “slaughtered”, “domestic into a pet”, and “violated” in any type of way!

The hunting game where the rest of the students are divided into "Hunters" and "Prey." Hunters must "capture" the Prey before dawn.

Hunters: Trained and ruthless young men tasked with "hunting" the prey.

Prey: Innocent young women, their future wives, will be resentful if they remember you failing to rescue them, protect them, and keep them safe in the first place!

Setting: The Stepford Academy, a prestigious finishing school for young women and a brutal training ground for young men in the shadows. On the first night in the back wooden area there without warning, Predators must collect pack members by midday or will be assigned to one with tools already handed to you and your pack to play this game! Then softly collect their assigned prey after they have shower, lotion, getting ready to sleep routine, and put on their sleepwear most important their sleeping robes!

The Brass Hunters: A group of older students, traditionally male, trained in combat and strategy. The ones in charge of final jugdement!

The Prey: A group of younger students, traditionally female, expected to be "captured" during the night-time hunting game. Mostly all the females in the academy are the prey.

Predator Pack Formation:

Ritualistic selection: Instead of brute force, make the Predators earn their pack members through trials of skill, strategy, and teamwork. They are chosen by their alphas and will be informed why before the night starts and by the end of their last class!

Alpha dynamics: Introduce a hierarchy within the Predator packs beyond just the Alphas. Each member has a specific role, like a Tracker, a Tactician, or a Saboteur.

Predator Hierarchy: Predator hierarchy beyond just Alphas. Introduce ranks like Betas (skilled scouts and tacticians), Omegas (new recruits proving themselves), and Specialists (experts in specific skills like traps or disguise).

Forbidden choices: Let some recruits reject the Predator role, choosing instead to side with the Prey or even become independent "Rogues."

 

Pre-Game Rituals:

Pack Building: Predators gather before the hunt, engaging in rituals based on their chosen theme. Brick's pack, led by Dj and Brody, will perform a synchronized knife-spinning routine and recite a warrior oath.

Prey Marking: Hunters subtly mark their assigned Prey during social events, leaving secret clues or coded messages for later retrieval. This adds an element of suspense and allows for creative storytelling opportunities.

Arena Preparation: The wilderness arena hosts specific dangers depending on the season. Hunters set traps, camouflage themselves in the foliage, and strategically position themselves for the night's chase.

Environmental hazards: The arena is more than just a wilderness. Include treacherous terrain, booby traps, and even ancient ruins with hidden dangers.

Objectives beyond capture: Instead of just grabbing the Prey, some of the Predators have specific objectives, like acquiring hidden artifacts or completing tasks under time pressure to secure their own safety and for the pack.

Public spectacle: Is a televised event, watched by the entire Academy of those deemed unfit or too young to join, some of the elite around the world, and even some of the city's elite.

Academy's Motto: We are the Future, Flawless and Forever

Brick wasn’t ready for it

He thought votes would go his way again.

He and some others had an emergency meeting to plead with Hatchet to have an emergency election with their whole academy for the game not to begin or start at least this time. Usually, I only did this with the 16 years here! But it seems their guests were being taken by force by all of them. Brick frowned at Courtney’s direction. Courtney was the fucking best now that’s all lost and gone. She’ll be better off hidden or used for bait since Courtney’s transformation. Jo it is.

He thought.

She’ll do as mother of his pack’s prey, all he needs to do get her willingness for an alliance along with Emma, Zoey, Heather, Lindsay, and Leshawna soon as he went to tell Brody the news quickly before classes began as he dragged Scott along before the try stick his tongue down Dawn’s throat trying to show Topher how it really “done.”

He wasn’t listening really.

He was getting ready for the hunting game.

Men before have all joined the military from the USA. Even after they did conquer British and Canada to Mexico for 5 years because the sickly tan fucker who won the 2024 election causing WWW III. Most men of his family bloodline who conquer those nations join that awful war to survive to make more soldiers just like them in the name of glory in war. It made him sick to his stomach knowing his family name was most known as:

“Murderousness McArthur Clan”

His father loves it but hates the fact that the USA had given up on keeping British and Canada to Mexico under wraps and their control after losing WWWIII that he was assigned and station into fucking Canada.

Brick will not be like him or any of the men in his bloodline ever again, he was sure of this.
