Although Ethan wasn't clear about who had left behind this Hot Spring Ruins, through the various traces within the ruin trials, it could be easily discerned that the Hot Spring Ruins trials were in the process of selection.
It might be selecting students, or perhaps selecting heirs…

The subsequent two trials were not much different from the previous ones.
Ethan accomplished the challenges outstandingly; however, the comprehensive assessment did not yield as high a praise as the first trial.
