For the group on the left, Warden called out as all of them stood straighter. "All of you will begin with physical conditioning," he said. "Since it is the first day, you will all run 10 laps of the ground."
"But, instructor," one of the mage candidates, a girl barely 15 years old, called out, "I only have 13 points in strength. It would be impossible for me to complete the task."
As her complaints were raised openly, a few more joined, giving similar excuses, or rather admitting their weaknesses. Ten laps would be over sixty miles, an impossible number for common people. But these weren't common people.
Warden considered that for a common human, strength was about three to five points. Thirteen was almost thrice the number of an adult male's capabilities. It wasn't impossible for her to complete the laps, though he was afraid she wouldn't be able to make it in due time.
