What to study

A different exam with a different contract: the goal here is only 60 with 6:03 on the clock, and the squad selector has changed with it, Yellow Pikmin selected (2) between two Red Pikmin counts of 10, for a 12-of-20 party. The glowing creature at upper right is the encounter itself, a luminous spherical body with one eye and a trunk snout, and the yellow throw line from the captain on Oatchi shows the game's aiming language: a straight line from rider to target, no reticle needed. The HUD is unchanged from the other exams (goal meter, countdown, star meter, portraits), which is the point: Dandori Academy reuses one chrome set across exams and lets the goal, timer and squad mix carry the difference.
