In The Mirror

The students looked around at the changes in each other. There was no doubt about it, most of them had left the Common Rank behind them, and they were now firmly into the Awakened Rank. 

The warriors had it easy, as they could tell by their bodies, but the amount of power that the mages were feeling wasn't fading, and after Dana called up a barrier to see the changes in it, the others began to activate spells as well, allowing them to informally test the change in their powers.

"We all owe the Alchemy Master one for this. Those potions were incredible. For some of us even more than others." One of the warriors announced, while staring at Karl.

"I'm glad you liked them", he agreed, feeling a bit self-conscious about the attention on himself.

"Oh, he's not staring because you provided the scales. You should look at yourself in the mirror." Rita laughed.
