Cedric did not believe, even for a second, that these five could graduate this class just like that.
Uruk said it to him once; that the only way they pass this class is if their Sword Laws reached the Intermediate Stage, at the very least. If someone reached the Advanced Stage of the Sword Laws, they could directly apply for graduation since, at this point, this class barely has anything to offer them if they choose to stay here.
Amongst the top 5 only the 1st place; Cassius Nightfall, and the 2nd place; Lyra Moonsteel, reached the Intermediate Stage of Sword Laws - which was the bare minimum requirement to pass this class. According to what Cedric heard, those two have been informed of the other requirements but are taking their time completing them since they weren't in a hurry.
Then, all of a sudden, not just those two but all five of them are graduating? How does that make any sense?
