I just realized the nearest town is 20 miles away and it takes 30 minutes to walk there.

I never claimed to be intelligent. LMAO. I'll fix that at some point. Thanks for pointing it out!



[quote=@Crowvette]I'm not really sold on ranking-based teams, sort of for the same reason you bring up.[/quote]

Could you elaborate on that? What do you mean?

Thank you.

This is a school, so perhaps how they perform in their examinations determines their positioning? I imagine that knights would have more practical examinations. 

On the other hand, perhaps it's just social standing?

Hmm... That's a fair point. But I think that the positioning would take into account the entire pair's score. And would rank them together rather than separate them. I/E Rank 1 Knight/Noble are scored together (maybe with different tests) and find that at the next rank announcement, they have moved down to rank 4 and drama ensues where the pair is fighting over who did worse, etc. 

And yes, the ranks are mostly social standing. Think about it like the Score list in Japan where students are listed for all to see with their scores. It's important for the Nobles that they are ranked highly if they want good jobs and good futures. 

I'll post the examples here shortly!
