Arthur walked away, glancing around the campus. The earlier chaos felt so childish—he figured they might have even been throwing punches by now. He had hoped to see some spells and maybe even a bit of blood, but all he saw were two boys barking at each other.
"Haah, this is boring," he sighed.
Since no teachers were around, Arthur took the opportunity to explore the front of the campus. He'd be spending the next three years here, and this year would mark the start of many important things.
He hadn't seen Eric earlier, so he figured Eric's test would be on the second shift. With more than a thousand students applying each year, the assessments stretched over ten days, with both written and practical tests held in two shifts daily.
To even apply to this academy, a student had to meet certain requirements: they had to be "awakened" (meaning they could use magic) and have either a middle school graduation certificate or a recommendation letter from a scholar.
