Faced with these seven preposterous exam papers, the saints found themselves in the midst of an intense brainstorm.
"The Great Mage must have his reasons for doing this," one said.
The saints repeatedly pondered over His Excellency Merlin's intentions behind the questions, how he wanted the candidates to respond, considering everything from cultural perspectives to political ideologies, from novel interpretations of glorious doctrines to the origins of life....
After much deliberation, they finally reached a unanimous conclusion:
Merlin just bloody wants all the candidates to die!
This damn old lamp clearly had issues after staying in Heaven, which is why he'd want to come out and wreak havoc on society!
"Your Excellency,"
a saint of Order argued righteously,
"these questions are inappropriate. According to the rules, only those saints who pass the written exam can be ranked and proceed to the next phase of the examination."
