"You who did not complete it please step forward," Sir Severo called out when the ten-minute timer ended. More than he expected, many of them had completed the task. Except now they were on the ground, as though dead. He liked that sight, however.
Seventeen students stepped forward with terror evident in their eyes. None of the new students were part of them, as such Sir Severo could only shake his head in proper disappointment.
He hated mediocrity. There was much they had no knowledge about. Dangers that they did not even know roamed the planet. He had seen some, and those terrors forced an urgency in his heart to bring up men who could do much better than he could.
Those seventeen arrived before him, and he descended to allow his gaze to land on them. They could not see a hint of the disappointment he felt. But they knew it.
