More than 3,000 acolytes were gearing up for the Magus Academy's final exam.
The atmosphere was thick with anticipation as students prepared for what would be the culmination of their training. For Emery's Hall 6, the excitement was tangible—especially among the 12 third-year acolytes, who were about to complete their journey of three intense years within the academy.
Standing before his 50 acolytes, Emery took a moment to address them, his voice steady and filled with pride. "Go! Show them what you are!"
"Yes, Master!!" came their enthusiastic response, voices united with a determination they'd honed together.
The weeklong exam brought a thrill to both Emery and Klea, who watched every match from the sidelines, cheering on their acolytes with unwavering support.
