"…"
"…Was there really a need to use all of your attempts on this trial?"
Asking this question to the young man in front of him, Aeramis could not help but let out a sigh of exasperation as he thought back to the entire sequence of events starting from when he officially declared the start of the fifth trial.
"With the result you've shown me after being infused with knowledge from the pedestals a second time, you've already exceeded the threshold necessary for me to say that you've reached the trial's limit."
"Yet, even with that in mind… you still thought of seeing the final trial in its entirety?"
"Pretty much." Ataraxia nodded at the man's words, showing no hint of shame nor remorse on his face. "Doesn't really take a lot of time to come up with my reason if you think about it."
"Have you decided to see the trial to its utmost end to see if you could subvert my expectations?" asked Aeramis, the thought being a no-brainer for him.
