The rest of the day went by pretty quickly, and as soon as all the applicants had been tested, the old man Arnik had seen earlier in the day came to address everyone

He was the headmaster of the academy.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Quintus Millenia and I am the headmaster of this academy. I am pleased to say that we have seen a lot of different talents today and I am happy about the prospects that you future Lirdunia mages have."

The students paid rapt attention.

"As you know we can only take some of you though as such we have made our decision." Just as he said this several bright lights appeared above him and names began to form within them.

"These are your class assignments, we hope you work hard to become the best mages you can be. As for those of you who failed this year, do not be discouraged. Rather, go back work on yourselves and reapply next year. Thank you, everyone… for your time."
