The Great Feast — Episode 9

Eat sleep, sleep eat all day. Been everywhere in the mansion. Bored out of my mind. Brother.

The mansion's martial exam started. All young lords competing. Clubs, knives, weapons. Win and become the capital's top warrior.

Weapons. Perfect. I've eaten enough to be lazy. Let's go.

Mansion martial exam. Now enter and line up. All examinees, take your spots. No noise, no pushing.

Wait for each event in turn. Where's this chubby kid from? This arena's no place for you. Panting just from walking.

And you dare take the exam? Go home. Hold on. We'll see who loses and leaves.

Not decided yet. Round one. Archery test. Must draw a full hard bow.

Hit the bull's-eye. Lack of strength. Fails All judged unqualified.

Can't draw it. I'm in trouble. Not strong enough. Failing the archery.

Full draw, hits target. Archery top score. That's it? Easier than breaking animal bones.

Round two. Wooden sword sparring. Proper stance required. Move combos.

If moves are sloppy. Or strength is fake. Automatically fail.
