"Huh?!" Mako and Alexi exclaimed at the same time.
"Just the two of us? What about the rest?" Mako asked Magnus.
Magnus just gave a guilty nod as he expected this kind of reaction from his students after they found how low they were in numbers.
"Honestly, I was expecting to at least take 10 or 15 students, but I guess I made my first impression on them a bit too hard. Most didn't even come near the hall... and the ones who did either chickened out after I presented them the two options or utterly failed for being too overconfident." Magnus explained.
"You too were the only ones who were able to impress me and now I only have two students to teach," Magnus added.
Mako was a bit taken aback by Magnus' explanation. There were many strong kids in the advanced class including Alexi. He couldn't really fathom that he and Alexi were the only two who had the courage to speak with him after witnessing his teaching style in the morning.
