The Prohibited Power Syndicate

The First Test Puzzle

A few days have passed. It's time for Leo to take the exam to get into the leader's special school. Leo immediately got ready to head to the exam location. In fact, two days before the exam was held, Leo was already looking for information about the location of the exam. Leo headed to the school to see the state of the location. However, Leo did not see a single person at the school. In fact, there was no sign of an exam.

Leo began to think that no one wanted to be a leader, given that the city he lived in was a nameless city.

“Do no one really intend to be a leader in this city?” thought Leo.

On the day of the exam, Leo went to school. Leo headed to school because the day before the exam, he saw an advertisement on television that the exam was held at the school. When he got to school, Leo saw only a few people. Leo approached someone who had been in the schoolyard.

“Excuse me, did you also take this leadership exam? Or are you one of the managers of this activity? I would like to ask, how do I register for this exam? Given that the information provided is only that if you want to register then you have to register right on the day of the exam” asked Leo to the person.

The man stared at Leo for a few seconds. After that, the person leaves Leo without answering any of Leo's questions. Leo was confused. Leo saw the situation around him. Leo realized that he had a very small body when compared to others. In fact, while in the city of A3, Leon included men with body size who were at the city's average level. In addition, he has also consumed milk and other proteins that suit his needs. Shortly thereafter, Leo approached the other people who were in the place and asked the same question. But no one answered him. Leo thought that his small body was the reason people in the place did not want to talk to him.

After a while, the very upset Leo decided not to ask the person in the place again. Leo ventured to explore the existing classroom environment. A few minutes later, Leo found a stack of sheets of paper and a stationery sitting on one of the tables in a room.

Leo immediately checked the paper. Leo was surprised. The paper he encountered was a paper containing registration rules and there was a clue to find the location of the test. After seeing the contents of the rules, the confusion experienced by Leo disappeared. It is not the size of the body that makes no one talk to him, but the rules that are in the paper.

The first exam begins if the participant holds this paper, everyone holding this paper is a participant and if any rules are broken, the paper says,it will automatically be disqualified. The rules include being prohibited from speaking to others, being banned from violence, being banned from using money to meet exam needs, and being prohibited from spreading any information about this exam when the exam is over. If any participant disseminates information, then the identity of the participant will be frozen for three years.

Only those rules and information are on the front page of the paper. On the back of the paper, there is only a sentence that says “The highest place on the school page”. Leo thought that sentence was a riddle. Leo is headed to the school yard.

Moments before Leo makes his way to the pole, Leo wants to visit some other places. Leo saw the situation near the seat, also seen a pile of paper on the chair. Then Leo saw a tree from a distance, he saw a paper also on top of the tree. Because he was very curious, Leo decided to pay a visit to the security building. When he arrived at the place, he saw a pile of paper on the roof of the building. Leo also felt confused because in every place he saw there was a paper even with a different color. The paper on the first exam he got was white, but none of the other papers he saw were white. Leo then thinks that color is not a clue to get an answer.

Leo recalled that the exam began when he held the paper, so he thought he could see the other paper without holding it. Leo then went back to where the paper was. There is a write-up “You failed” on the paper that is in the seat. Later, Leo climbed up the security building. Seen the writing “Please go down again and try again next time” on the paper in the security building.

Leo wants to see the paper in the remaining places. However, he could not see the paper that was on the tree and the pole. Leo began to think of ideas. Leo thought that if he had a remote vision device, he could see it. Leo immediately looked for an observation room at the school. There is no rule that does not allow him to use school property.

Shortly thereafter, Leo managed to find a pair of binoculars. Through the remote viewing tool, Leo can see the writing on the paper that is on the tree and pole. On the paper on the tree it says “Never return to this place” in red ink. Whereas, in the writing on the pole that looks only “Congratulations, kam”. The sentence was not visible due to the strong wind.

Leo wanted to get the paper right away. However, he recalled Leon's saying that the leader's school-specific exams were very difficult. Meanwhile, he felt that the pole was a place that was easy to see and think of. Leo was curious and then he saw the writing on the paper again. Seen that says “Congratulations, you managed to waste time. Please go home through the road to kiri” is a complete writing on the paper.

Leo thought of something.

“Why do I have to go through the left road when I go home?“ thought Leo.

Leo immediately looked outside the school. There's nothing strange on the right. Leo ignored the path and returned to focus on the first exam. Leo thought that it was something related to the second exam.

After some time thinking about the first exam, Leo was very confused. There was no other high place he could reach. Leo was also very tired. A very hot day adds fatigue to Leo. Leo immediately headed to the seat to rest. Luckily, he had some drinking water in his bag.
