The boy's eyes widened, his astonishment reflected in the perfect shape of his mouth forming an "O" of surprise. He stared fixedly at the doll split on the floor, a feat that would have been difficult even for normal metal. It wasn't an easy task; not even a platinum-ranked swordsman could split the doll in two so easily. Furthermore, his eyes diverted to the sword he had used: it was low-level and he didn't perceive any aura around it. The cut had been clean and elegant, demonstrating exceptional mastery of the art of the sword.
After a few seconds of astonishment, the boy snapped out of his daze, taking out a crystal and began writing. Once he finished, he announced solemnly, "Anthony Von Valeriano, Sword Handling Rank 4, high-level sword handling. You have passed the practical part. You can wait until the academy informs you which classroom you will be assigned to."
