Some mages sat forward eagerly, while others seemed to brace themselves for disappointment.
"Unfortunately, this list contains only thirty names," Grand Magus Thamoryn announced.
The room became tense. Their class had at least fifty people, and out of those fifty, only thirty had scored enough points.
A part of the very requirements needed to become an Initiate-ranked mage.
The Grand Magus then confirmed their fears, "Unfortunately, only the names on this list will be able to participate in the next stage of the Initiate Rank exams happening tomorrow."
Murmurs spread between the mages until Thamoryn stamped her staff on the ground. "Quiet!" she commanded, and they all stopped talking.
She continued, "The missions were given to you with the intent that your experiences against monsters would help you devise the most suitable spells for future encounters."
