"I'm guessing this is the Waiting line." Koya said while reclining against the chair with a sigh and Hayate who was next to him nodded.
"You're right Koya-kun, we all came here. Someone already started taking the Applied Exams."
He motioned to the door at the far end of the hallway, though they couldn't hear anything that was coming from it… It was the cause of the tension in the air.
The hallway itself was completely silent in the way that only a room full of people trying not to show they were nervous could be.
Nobody was really talking to each other much. A few people had their phones out, a few others were staring at the door like it had personally offended them.
"I see." Koya said and then looked at Hayate. "Are you prepared for the exams?"
"M-me…?" Hayate froze up a bit as he ran his hand through his hair. "Naturally, I think I'm fairly prepared but the exams test your knowledge, not what is in the textbooks so you can't be completely prepared for them."
