Andar had been expecting something different to occur after he emerged victorious, at the top of his head were numerous speculations, the first being the Black Tower had become compromised by outside forces, and the Supreme World was resolving the problem and eliminating the mistake.
The second was that there was a war between the Great Towers and he was caught in the crosshairs.
Or a rogue faction of discontented Mages led by his mother had seen a loophole in the defenses of the Black Tower and were staging a surprise attack.
He had dozens of other scenarios in his head, one thing he had learned was that life took strange pathways and anything was possible, but it turned out that he could still be surprised because this was nothing but an interview, and the result of it still reverberated in his head,
"Andar you have won the right to determine the fate of the Mages in this universe."
