Melania sort of faded into the background after that.
She was still there. She did the remaining two tests along with August, but her genius was overshadowed by his at every step.
August didn't mean to do it.
In the last two tests, he really couldn't control his results. He just had to pray that he didn't show anything too crazy.
Nevertheless, the next two tests measured mana and mind. They were categories that would become incredibly important when the heir wars started, so even before they entered, these geniuses needed to prove that they were worthy.
August was only 3rd class. Many of his competitors were 4th class. He was also a ten-year-old, the youngest of the young.
He'd lied about the latter when he registered, because they would probably lose their minds if he was honest, but the first part was already enough of a crutch.
That was why Rakon needed another reason to put his money on August.
