(POV: Lumiere)
I'd just finished studying for the test.
Now, I was in the secondary hall of the merchant guild.
This was where the exams were administered.
Anastasia and Ruri were either waiting for me outside the guild or in its main hall.
I was currently seated on a worn wooden bench, my quill and ink bottle at the ready.
Just as I was about to dip my quill into the ink and begin writing, the invigilator approached me.
He swiftly closed my ink bottle, much to my confusion.
"Is there a problem?" I asked, my brows furrowing.
The invigilator, a stern-looking man with graying hair, handed me a small tube-like object.
"Take this," he instructed.
I opened the tube and I realized what it was.
"It's a pen," I muttered under my breath, unimpressed.
No surprise the Viscountʼs daughter "created" something new.
