After what felt like an eternity to Eric and especially to Alina the written examination for Alina and the other prospective students finally concluded. The large classroom doors opened with a soft creak.
The students filed out one by one forming orderly lines once again in the corridor.
The same female professor who had overseen their entry into the classroom now led them along with other Academy staff members to another even larger field.
This second field was clearly designated for practical assessments for physical tests.
Eric followed at a respectful distance. He walked along the sidelines of the field observing everything.
He watched as the students were put through a battery of tests a long series of different challenges.
Their magical aptitude their natural talent for magic was assessed by specialized mages.
Their raw physical strength was measured in various ways. And their swordsmanship skills were put to the trial against experienced Academy instructors.
