Welcome Party
Faustina and Michelle walked alongside each other towards the east wing. Along the way the two have talked about the exam and how they encountered the monsters.
"To be honest, I thought I would ace the exam... well, the unmodified one, to be exact." Said Michelle. "I studied for two years and prepared myself to improve specific areas so I could get into Ianua I."
"That's pretty impressive," Faustina remarked.
It was indeed impressive. There were a lot of students that came to Magierstadt prepared to take its supposed exam (unlike her who had preparation for a month) for at least a year or so. The exam should have been comprised of a written part and a test of mana. That was all there is to it. And there are some spells that showcase and emphasizes one's mana. Those spells were the ones Orwell had taught Faustina.
But in the end, the exam changed and they were all left with only their judgment and magical potential to make them pass.
