The tests had been conducted over the entire week, with Sam occasionally observing them. Damian had only glanced once before becoming too engrossed in his own tasks. A tall, thin boy with a slightly handsome face and dirt-blonde hair approached them, waving.
"You guys are already here?" Yovan asked, finding a place to stand beside them.
"We never left," replied the overly enthusiastic Sam.
"What?" Yovan asked, just as two more buff-looking guys with similar features walked over, smiling and waving. They were the pugilist boys who had participated in the third trial with them.
