"What in the world did he lecture about?"
Upon hearing the chime, everyone in the crowd trembled.

It had only been a total of half an incense stick's time since the very first examination began, but the Whilom Sage Bell has already chimed. Does he... not need to read the secret manual before beginning to teach?
Furthermore... to complete the lecture so quickly?
It is only after one finishes his lecture will the Whilom Sage Bell express its recognition or lack of through its chimes.
