 Sun Hunter
SHADOW RUN
The Shadow Run is both the simplest and most dangerous training course that can be run without a golem. A flurry of continuous attacks is what the Sun Division holds in highest respect, and the course reflects that. The course itself is a simple tunnel, reached via portal. Within the tunnel await hundreds of weak, hungry shadowlings. Nothing to worry about on their own, but capable of overwhelming a Hunter through sheer numbers at the first moment of weakness. At the other end of the tunnel is another portal, leading back to the course observation booth.
If you fail: your character is KO'd, but there's always a senior hunter in the observation booth with enhanced bandages at the ready. They should reach you in time. Really. Trained and trusty professionals on-hand 24/7.
If you win: peen points and bragging rights to those who take out the greatest number of shadowlings and go the most turns without needing to attempt a recovery maneuver.
Mechanics
You must get through 5 waves of attacks to make it through the tunnel.
Simply roll for attack as you would in battle.
If you miss, your character falters in their attacking and is overwhelmed by shadowlings.
After 3 successful hits, you may use your weapon's charge attack.
Bonus Mechanics
This bonus is consumable.
The bonus in this course is in the form of "recoveries" ~ these are would-be missed attacks that are quickly recovered and turned into a successful hit. Basically, they can miss once and roll again for an extra try. If you keep consecutively missing, though, and run out of recoveries, it's lights out. These do not equal an automatic pass for a round, you still have to land a successful hit to proceed.
Trainees: 0 recovery
Sun Trainees: 1 recovery
Hunters: 1 recovery
Sun Hunters: 2 recoveries

Pod duty was probably the most boring duty ever to exist. She had nearly fallen asleep three times during it. She needed something to wake herself up before she went on to do kitchen duty, plus the later she did the kitchen duty the easier it would be to have a hot dinner ready for Tuck later! Everybody wins. She had done the Moon course, she wanted to see what the others were like now. Sun's course sounded like a good place to start, but what she wasn't expecting was just how terrifying those few moments in complete darkness were. And then the red eyes appeared. Oh my god.Heidi immediately drew back an arrow, managing to strike down several shadowlings with one shot. She had to shake a few off her legs, batting them away with the bladed edge of her bow.

((ATTEMPT FOUR)) Okay so, you know how they say three time's the charm? They lied. Heidi was determined now. She would either get this or she would attempt it ten times, whatever happened first. God, she really hoped she finished the course before she made it to ten attempts. She shot down two shadowlings. Status Wave: 1 Attack Dmg: 2 Total Shadowlings taken out: 2 Recoveries left: 0

Come oooon! Come oooon! You can do this, Heidi! You totally have this! She shot down five more shadowlings, using one of them as a stepping stone right before it dissipated to get away from a shadowling trying to get at her.

((ATTEMPT FIVE)) Five. Halfway to ten. Please noooooooo. Heidi just shot at random, managing to pin back two shadowlings with one arrow, jumping off them like a springboard to kick another one's face in. Heidi then swung Matilda like a bat to wipe out the other three. Six! Nice! Status Wave: 1 Attack Dmg: 6 Total Shadowlings taken out: 6 Recoveries left: 0
