Sighing to himself, he glanced at the doors that led to the trials, but only for a short moment. Then he made his way to his room.
Upon getting there, a strange expression appeared on his face. He didn't know why he was expecting a change to happen somewhere around here after passing the first stage of the trials, so he felt a bit disappointed when he discovered nothing.
