Since the day of the magical and swordsmanship talent evaluation, the atmosphere at the orphanage had grown tense.
The children who had received badges—red for swordsmen, blue for mages, and silver for those who showed no talent—began to divide into small groups.
Those wearing the badges, especially the mages and swordsmen, started adopting somewhat arrogant attitudes.
You could hear murmurs of disdain, small arguments about who would be the best at the academy, and constant comparisons.
Though some, like Paul and David, remained humble, the general tension was palpable.
Anna, on the other hand, had become more isolated.
The green glow from her evaluation had left her confused and worried, especially since she didn't know what it meant.
This kept her somewhat distant, avoiding the conversations revolving around the future mages and swordsmen.
