Legris kept calling examinees one after the other, allocating exactly three minutes for each of them to display their worth.

For those who risked it and went for spells that were very effective but took too long to cast, Legris stopped them midway.

Surprisingly, he told none of the examinees that they had failed. He simply repeated what he had told everyone else and directed them to the hallway where they would be taking the third part of their exams.

'I guess it doesn't matter if they fail or not. The third phase will still be attempted by everyone…' I reasoned.
